Our Impact
Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Rhode Island strategically links investments and programs to build on a network of community organizations and neighborhood resources in a way that supports innovation, delivers tangible results, and improves our quality of life.
LISC is involved in all corners of Rhode Island – from Woonsocket to Westerly. Every neighborhood is a unique tapestry – a complex system of interconnected, moving parts. That is precisely why no single solution can ever address all of a neighborhood’s needs. We invest in overlapping program areas that reach into every aspect of community life. Our approach is comprehensive, effective and – most importantly – rooted in what neighbors want for themselves, their families, and the places they call home.
We are part of a strong national organization dedicated to working with residents and partners to forge resilient and inclusive communities. Want to learn more? Read our Corporate Brochure here.
