Lending
Lending is central to our work at LISC. As one of the largest community development financial institutions (CDFI) in the nation, we work in partnership with local groups to finance projects that have a positive, long-term impact. LISC NY’s Community Capital Investments Team connects partners to financial and technical resources that deliver results. As a mission-driven lender, we go the extra mile for clients who share our deeply held vision for an inclusive city. We take on smaller loans, more difficult projects, and partner relationships where our expertise and long view can make a critical difference. We get the job done.
