Affordable Housing
Affordable Housing Loans
Lending products designed to help local groups bring development projects to fruition.
Capacity Building
Trainings and capacity building opportunities for local organizations and practitioners leading projects and programs that help their communities.
A safe, affordable home is one of the basic requisites of life—a key to individual health and wellbeing, and the foundation for sustainable, economically vibrant and diverse neighborhoods.
Affordable housing has benefits that extend beyond the walls of a home to the community at large. It boosts spending and employment in the surrounding economy, brings revenue into local governments and reduces the likelihood of foreclosure.
Since our inception, affordable housing preservation and development has been at the core of our work. LISC LA has leveraged $2.1 billion and deployed $855 million in grants and loans to support the development of over 10,000 affordable housing units and over 2 million square feet of commercial space across the greater Los Angeles region, stabilizing both individual families and whole communities.
The LISC LA office provides financial products, trainings, and capacity building to local organizations leading projects and programs that help their communities.

- We provide capacity-building grants to fund organizations in support of housing, economic development, commercial corridor initiatives, small business technical assistance, and preservation of cultural vitality.
