About Us


During LISC’s 20 year tenure in Los Angeles, it has raised and invested more than $400 million and assisted over 100 Community Development Corporations (CDC's) with pre-development and acquisition support in excess of 7,300 new homes for approximately 32,000 people and construct close to 1.1 million square feet of commercial, industrial, retail and community space.  LISC's investment has leveraged $1 billion in financing from other private and public entities.

Funding has been combined with a wide variety of technical and training support that has greatly enhanced the ability of CDCs to pursue and achieve multiple community renewal objectives.  LA LISC invests in the hard-pressed neighborhoods that have the potential for regional impact and broader investment dollars, spanning across South Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, Westlake/MacArthur Park, the Valley, Downtown, and the Westside.

In 2007 LA LISC celebrates 20 years of investment in Los Angeles and the launching of the Sustainable Communities Initiative which has 5 strategic ares:
