About Us
Welcome! Thanks for stopping by the Greater Cincinnati & Northern
Kentucky LISC website. Here you'll find information on who we are, what we do,
where we work, how to contact us, and resources for community development.
Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) is the nation’s leading community development support organization. LISC helps resident-led, community-based development organizations transform distressed communities and neighborhoods into healthy places to live, do business, work, and raise families.
By providing capital, project training, and consultation, LISC supports the development of local leadership and the creation of affordable housing, commercial and community facilities, businesses and jobs.
The Local Initiatives Support Corporation of Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky works to bring new, significant, project-related financial and technical assistance to Community Development Corporations (CDCs) operating in Clermont and Hamilton Counties in Ohio and Boone, Campbell, and Kenton Counties in Kentucky.
LISC’s work begins and ends with the premise that local residents can best identify community needs and develop solutions that solve neighborhood issues. Through its nuanced and tailored lending, granting, and technical assistance (TA) support, LISC provides individuals and communities with the capital and technical expertise they need to revitalize and rebuild neighborhoods.
By engaging neighborhood residents in physical development and strengthening capacity of local CDCs to plan and execute real estate projects, LISC empowers whole communities and gives residents a voice in shaping their local market, civic environment, and physical neighborhoods.
