Our Work
To build and sustain resilient families and 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 support community-based real estate preservation and creation through pre-development, acquisition, construction, permanent, bridge, and solar energy lending.
We help affordable housing owners implement energy efficient and clean energy technology and strategies to make homes healthier.
Our small business supports are designed to position new and growing local businesses for mainstream success.
LISC’s income and wealth building programs build equity by connecting low- to moderate- income families with the financial and labor market mainstream.
We support residents and community-based organizations with training, funding, and professional guidance to help them be effective agents of change in their neighborhoods.
We develop and advocate for strategies to combat displacement, promote healthy housing, increase affordable housing stock, and increase equity across Massachusetts.
