Technical assistance

LISC offers a wide range of technical assistance to assist local community organizations rebuild their neighborhoods. Through a network of 30 local field offices in urban areas, Rural LISC that works in 36 states, and a range of national programs, LISC provides these groups with expert technical assistance to undertake revitalization activities: affordable housing, retail, and facility development; organizational capacity building; and increasingly, programs that improve quality-of-life such as community safety, youth recreation and education.

Typical assistance centers around:

• Real estate development (e.g., preparation and appropriation of housing and community development public funding and tax credits);
• Staff training and skill building;
• Organizational and management assistance (e.g., strategic planning, program and organization expansion, crisis intervention); and
• Effective execution of services under successful proposals.

Organizational and management support

In addition to helping community development corporations finance their projects, LISC helps make the groups more efficient and productive through training programs and learning opportunities for their staff and leadership.
