This is what we do
We have 40 years' experience and flourishing partnerships in Opportunity Zone markets across the country.
We're also a national leader in utilizing federal tax incentive programs, with two affiliates specializing in the Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the New Market Tax Credits. And our financial strength is proven: LISC has a 'AA' rating from S&P.
We are pioneers in social impact investing, too. In fact, since our inception, we've invested more than $20 billion in all 50 states, in both urban areas and hundreds of rural counties. Those invests have, in turn leveraged some $60.4 billion in projects and programs that catalyze opportunity for people and underresourced places.
The Opportunity Zones incentive dovetails with our vision for business investment and infrastructure development that benefits communities.
