For 30 years, LA LISC has equipped struggling communities with the capital, strategy and know-how to become places where people can thrive. LISC has worked with local leaders to invest in housing, health, education, public safety and employment - basic needs that must be tackled at once so that progress in one is not undermined by neglect in another.

LISC's comprehensive approach brings together key local players to take on pressing challenges and incubate new solutions. With them, we help develop smarter public policy. Our toolkit is extensive. It includes loans, grants, equity investments and on-the-ground experience in some of America's neediest neighborhoods.
