Philadelphia LISC is a local office of a national non-profit organization that assists community development corporations (CDCs), and other community-based organizations, in their efforts to transform distressed neighborhoods into healthy communities. By marshaling private sector resources and providing financial and technical support to community partners, LISC enables residents to set their own priorities and shape the process of community renewal.
Beyond this core work, LISC is expanding its traditional focus of working directly with CDCs to developing strategic partnerships with a wide range of nonprofit and for-profit organizations that support the larger issue of comprehensive community health and sustainability. Five core program objectives have been identified that, taken together, define this larger goal: Investing in the Physical Environment; Increasing Family Wealth; Stimulating Economic Activity; Improving Access to Quality Education and Fostering Healthy Environments. |
