Housing
A safe, affordable home is one of the basic requisites of life—a key to individual health and well-being, and the foundation for sustainable, economically vibrant and diverse neighborhoods.
Housing is where LISC started. And it’s still the cornerstone of our mission, even as our vision has expanded to incorporate work to improve education, health, safety and economic growth in the places where we work. LISC helps make quality, affordable housing available to low-income and vulnerable residents—from seniors to veterans to the formerly homeless—in underserved communities and we advocate for good housing policy at all levels of government.
LISC Toledo invests in all kinds of affordable housing. We help develop multi-family rentals and preserve existing ones that could be lost to market forces or deterioration. We finance sustainable, “green” construction and rehabilitation, which makes for lower operating costs and has been proven to boost health outcomes for occupants and entire neighborhoods.
Our 2020-2025 housing goals include:
- Repairing/rehabbing 1000 homes and
- Creating or preserving 500 units of affordable housing.
