Strategies

LISC Atlanta drives bold ideas and resources to close the racial wealth gap in metro Atlanta. In the next three years, LISC Atlanta will invest over $43M in loans, grants, and equity.

Our investments will target four fundamental approaches

• Helping people of color build enduring wealth.
• Taking a holistic approach to improve health in underinvested places by investing in fundamental resources to keep residents well, including: stable affordable housing, safe places to exercise, access to healthcare, and access to healthy food.
• Strengthening the community development ecosystem – the funders, CDCs, government agencies, non-profits, and small businesses involved in community development work – to accelerate the strategies required to close the racial wealth gap.
• Supporting long-term, holistic, place-based community development work in Clayton County and Atlanta’s historic Sweet Auburn neighborhood
