Thankful for Our Funders

November is a month to be thankful, and LISC Greater Cincinnati could not be more grateful for the organizations that generously provide funding so that we can continue to help identify priorities and challenges for low-income communities, formulate comprehensive strategies to address them, and deliver the most effective support to meet the needs on the ground. Our dedication to supporting resident-led, community-based development organizations that transform communities and neighborhoods into healthy places to live, do business, work, and raise families is evident in the programs we implement throughout the region.

This year marks the seventeenth anniversary of Place Matters, our place-based initiative which empowers people, transforms places, supports economic opportunity, and drives systems change in Avondale, Covington, Madisonville, Price Hill, Walnut Hills, Newport, and the West End. Place Matters investment in CDC capacity leveraged more than $375 million in direct and outside leverage over the last three years.

LISC Greater Cincinnati leads implementation of the Housing Our Future strategy. The strategy employs a strategic response that recognizes the complex, interlocking factors that cause housing affordability challenges, and the need for a strategic multifaceted response. Thanks to the work of many partners and stakeholders, Hamilton County is on-track to meeting Housing Our Future’s  10-year goals. LISC remains committed to leading the strategy and working with partners to ensure all goals are met by 2030.
