Who We Are
As an intermediary organization, LISC leverages and strategically invests in the collective power of community-based organizations, neighbors, donors, and advocates. Our approach to advancing resident-led community development is data driven, effective and—most importantly—rooted in what neighbors want for themselves, their families and the places they call home.
Mission: Alongside residents and partners, LISC catalyzes resilient and inclusive communities of opportunity across America –great places to live, work, visit, do business and raise families.
In Philadelphia: Across the city and region, decades of intentional disinvestment and systematic barriers have created inequitable futures, for over 40 years, LISC has worked with partners to reduce and prevent inequities across systems that impact well-being (neighborhood revitalization, housing and economic stability).
