LISC announced today that John Moon is joining the organization to lead LISC Green LLC, a new affiliate that will spearhead LISC's Green House Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) activities and investments and help deepen LISC’s impact in sustainable community development. “These resources will help expand affordable housing to address our national housing crisis, expand income and wealth-building to offset local economic challenges, and make our communities healthier and more resilient,” Moon said

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.

LISC has joined forces with Enterprise, Habitat for Humanity, United Way and Rewiring America to propose deploying $9.5 billion of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund’s National Clean Investment Fund. If awarded the grant, the partnership, known as Power Forward, will work with 156 communities across the country to decarbonize homes and help transform the housing market, reinvest in communities and tackle the climate crisis as part of the process.
