Loans

Residents and community groups in underinvested places know best what will make their neighborhoods thrive. More affordable housing, better schools, lively commercial districts, quality jobs, safer streets—these are things all residents want. The ideas and vision are there, but too often, what's missing is the capital to get these projects realized. That’s where LISC lending comes in.

Lending is an essential instrument in LISC’s community development toolkit. As one of the largest community development financial institutions (CDFI) in the nation, we partner with local grassroots groups, for-profit developers and government agencies to finance programs and projects that will have a positive, long-term impact.

LISC operates in markets underserved by traditional lenders.

We offer flexible loan capital to groups operating in underinvested communities, invest early, and have the expertise in specialized underwriting for such complex projects as schools, health care centers and affordable housing.

We want your projects to work. LISC offers a wide range of loans, from pre-development to permanent financing, and we finance a wide variety of projects, from large affordable housing to small business loans. Learn more

Please keep in mind that terms are subject to change and all loans must go through underwriting and credit approval process.
