LISC Massachusetts

LISC Massachusetts As such, Boston LISC constantly seeks ways to increase the capacity of these organizations to do what they do best.

LISC Massachusetts tackles the issues that have the greatest impact on community, family, and individual stability all at once, so that progress in one area is not undermined by neglect in another. Building Community Capacity

Boston LISC sees community development organizations as the key vehicles for community development and neighborhood stabilization, and the effectiveness of these organizatio

ns as essential. Supporting Affordable Housing

Boston LISC plays an important role in affordable housing development through our critical predevelopment and early stage capital loans. In addition, Boston LISC periodically operates a recoverable grant program, which has been an effective tool for early, very risky project support. These funds allow CDCs to properly analyze project feasibility early on without diminishing their own limited development capital. Greening Our Neighborhoods

Our strategy for greening Boston neighborhoods can be divided into three categories:
» Transit-Oriented Development (TOD): Residential and/or commercial areas should be designed in a way that maximizes access to public transportation
» Green Affordable Housing: Boston LISC will continue to assist CDCs with their efforts to green new housing developments. We will also help CDCs to implement green retrofits in affordable housing preservation projects, and in their existing rental portfolios in order to increase the energy efficiency and improve overall operations of these properties.
» Green Professional Development: Boston LISC is committed to providing community developers with the knowledge and skills needed to successful undertake green projects. Leading Community Development

Boston LISC plays a key role in community development by sponsoring public events, initiating research, and creating forums for discussion with our partners. We examine how community developers can have a greater impact in improving the communities of Greater Boston and in expanding opportunities for individuals and their families.

Self-described bookworm Dusya Lyubovskaya always wanted to work in a science lab, but she put that dream on hold when she dropped out of high school to help support her family after they came to the U.S. from Russia. Years later, when she was still working two jobs to make ends meet, she decided it was time for a change.

Thanks to JVS Boston, a community organization supported by Citizens through LISC, Lyubovskaya got the support she needed to launch her dream career. With help from JVS, she got a high school diploma, new digital skills, and completed a biotechnology career pathway program while earning a college certificate. She then went on to complete an associate’s degree in biology.

Today, Lyubovskaya has a job creating chemicals to help keep nuclear power stations safe around the world. “I want to keep going,” she said. “I just want to go to the laboratory, work with my team, and do something productive and beautiful.”
