Hardly any city is immune to the problems – crime, fires, disinvestment, tax loss – caused by vacant and abandoned properties. Until now, cities have struggled in relative isolation to solve those problems. The LISC Vacant Properties Initiative, a co-founder of the National Vacant Properties Campaign, helps communities intervene in the cycle of abandonment to stabilize and revitalize neighborhoods. It provides practitioners and policymakers with cutting-edge strategies and technical assistance to improve systems, policies, and practices that can help prevent abandonment and return vacant properties to productive use.
