Local Advisory Committee
LISC San Diego is guided by a Local Advisory Committee (LAC) of members from the civic and corporate communitiy. They open the doors to other key stakeholders who are involved in a site assessment process and then take the lead in raising local funds for a LISC program.
Their leadership and input will be a valued and critical component to strengthening LISC San Diego's role in revitalizing neighborhoods and providing affordable housing. They provide guidance on the office's overall strategy; connect us with opportunities for funding, and investments.
