Our Initiatives
Detroit LISC coordinates and invests resources that contribute to sustainable neighborhood revitalization and community growth. We are committed to building positive environments to ensure that all residents of any income level have the opportunities and tools to build assets, become part of the economy and participate in the benefits of their communities.
We invest in overlapping program areas that reach into every corner of community life. Our approach is comprehensive, effective and—most important—rooted in what neighbors want for themselves, their families and the places they call home.
We believe that safe, quality and affordable housing is one of the basic requisites of life. It is the key to health and well-being for individuals and communities.
We focus on helping families earn & keep more money and build assets to fund education, retirement and other financial goals.
We invest in programs that support entrepreneurship, attract new businesses, diversify the local retail mix and stimulate employment in Detroit neighborhoods.
We invest in local leaders and provide resources like training programs, learning opportunities and grants to change-makers.
