About

Mission & Strategy

LISC WNY works regionally with partners to bring local neighborhood ideas to life; creating great places to live, work and raise a family for all. 

Vision

We envision a region where residents are connected to their communities and can plan to stay there. A place where community residents build wealth through good jobs and entrepreneurship. A place where community residents drive action to improve their neighborhoods because they feel a sense of ownership and empowerment. Where neighborhoods have strong and responsive community organizations, driven by residents’ needs and ideas.
