Thank you LISC!
Rural Local Initiatives Support Corporation (Rural LISC) has granted $16,235 to CDCSB to fund our work building low-moderate income housing and creating jobs. This grant will provide capacity-building support for our work in incorporating environmentally healthy housing into comprehensive, sustainable community revitalization efforts in the southern Berkshire region.
“Affordable housing in the southern Berkshires is much more than just housing,” said Tim Geller, CDCSB’s executive director. “It is tied at the hip with our economy and our open space, and is a lifeline in creating and maintaining healthy and thriving communities. Good for the community, good for the planet.”
Rural LISC, a national program created to expand LISC’s reach beyond urban areas, provides a wide range of services to help rural community developers address the programs that rural communities face. Services include training, technical assistance, information and financial support. They use their Comprehensive Community Development Strategy to support their Partners in expanding investment in housing and real estate, increasing family income and wealth, stimulating economic development, improving access to quality education, and growing healthy environments and lifestyles.
The CDC’s work focuses on developing sites that are walkable to downtown centers, that provide easy access to jobs and services for tenants, incorporate environmentally healthy building and management practices, and create and preserve open space. The LISC grant will support this greatly needed ongoing work.
