Who We Are

Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Newark is the local office of the nation’s largest community development enterprise. Together with residents and partners, LISC forges resilient and inclusive communities – great places to live, work, visit, do business and raise families. Since 1986, LISC Newark has worked holistically across sectors to address the interconnected factors that drive inequality of opportunity in the greater region.

With support from our affiliates, we have invested $386 million dollars in Greater Newark, leveraged $822 million and have contributed to the production of more than 2,600 affordable homes and apartments and more than 820,000 square feet of commercial and community space.

Our comprehensive community development strategy seeks to build upon this base as we support a targeted, yet more comprehensive, revitalization strategy within our local footprint. Greater Newark LISC invests in communities in Newark, Jersey City, Orange, East Orange, and Irvington.
