Background
LISC Connecticut is a local organization within National LISC, the nation’s largest Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). LISC Connecticut has more than 35 years of experience working as a catalyst for community reinvestment in Hartford and across the state. It helps resident-led, community-based development organizations transform distressed neighborhoods into healthy places to live work, worship, do business and raise families. Since 1985, LISC Connecticut has invested $85 million in Connecticut’s cities, suburbs, and rural communities, and leveraged an additional $818 million for community improvements.

Background
LISC Connecticut is a local organization within National LISC, the nation’s largest Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). LISC Connecticut has more than 35 years of experience working as a catalyst for community reinvestment in Hartford and across the state. It helps resident-led, community-based development organizations transform distressed neighborhoods into healthy places to live work, worship, do business and raise families. Since 1985, LISC Connecticut has invested $85 million in Connecticut’s cities, suburbs, and rural communities, and leveraged an additional $818 million for community improvements.
Nationally, LISC supports a national network of more than 125 Financial Opportunity Centers (FOCs) in more than 30 cities across the country. LISC Connecticut established a network of 10 FOCs in the fall of 2020 and now has seven FOCs, one of which is designated a Bridges to Career Opportunities (BCO) site. FOCs focus on the financial bottom line for low-to- moderate income individuals. This means changing people's financial behavior in a way that encourages them to make a long-term commitment to increasing income, decreasing expenses, and acquiring assets. In the short term, LISC is also seeking for FOCs to help people recover from the economic impacts of COVID-19. Visit www.lisc.org/connecticut-statewide.
