Envision Houston: State of Houston Communities Report

In June 2023, LISC Houston initiated a six-month learning journey to enhance our community development efforts and cater more effectively to the dynamic needs of the communities we serve. Our objective was to better understand existing community needs, key community leaders and ongoing initiatives, projects awaiting commencement or requiring support, as well as identify where LISC could provide optimal assistance. Our process commenced with a comprehensive survey distributed among our closest allies and stakeholders in June. This was followed by virtual focus group discussions in August and broader regional discussions involving multidisciplinary stakeholders at a systems level to assess the state of communities in our neighborhoods in November. The culmination of our learning journey is a full-day conference in January 2024, where we present this report and our findings to the Greater Houston region.
