LISC NY is proud to celebrate our 4th anniversary!

Four years ago, LISC NYC and LISC Western New York came together to form LISC NY, expanding our ability to support communities across the state.

Since 1980, LISC NYC and LISC WNY combined have invested over $4.7 billion in in under-resourced communities, resulting in more than 52,541 affordable homes and apartments preserved and developed statewide, $11 billion leveraged, and 3.8 million square feet of commercial and community space created.

Over the past four years, LISC NY has focused on expanding access to affordable housing, supporting small businesses, and creating greater opportunity across New York’s neighborhoods. That progress has been made possible by the partners and communities we work alongside every day.

Stay tuned throughout the month as we reflect on our accomplishments, celebrate our impact, and share what’s ahead for LISC NY.

We are saddened to hear about the passing of Keith Gordon, a member of LISC NY's first Developers Training Program cohort and most recently a participant in Alumni Cohort 8. Keith was a longstanding supporter of LISC NY’s work and mission.

Keith served as a LISC Developers Training Program coach for several cohort participants and worked closely with faith-based organizations to help bring their development concepts to fruition. He remained deeply engaged with the LISC NY community over the years — attending events, supporting fellow developers, and continuing to build meaningful partnerships across the affordable housing ecosystem.

Keith will be remembered not only for his contributions to real estate development, but for his unwavering commitment to supporting developers and organizations like LISC NY in the effort to create and preserve affordable housing for New York residents.

He will be greatly missed by the LISC NY community and all who had the privilege of working alongside him. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones during this difficult time.
