BankNewport celebrated the opening of its' new community lending center in Central Falls with an announcement of a $250,000 grant to LISC Rhode Island to support our programs to invest in affordable housing.

LISC published its organization-wide annual report. Please take a look at the highlights: We invested an extraordinary $2.4 billion and doubled down on our work to create affordable housing, catalyze financial opportunity and promote climate resiliency. And so much more.

LISC is one of five organizations leading Power Forward Communities, a new coalition investing in green housing and jobs to support economic opportunity and climate resilience. Today, the EPA awarded the coalition $2 billion to implement a decarbonization strategy that also lifts up under-resourced communities—making housing more affordable, mitigating climate impacts and improving local health.
