In Philadelphia, LISC has worked with resident-led, nonprofit community development corporations (CDCs) over the past 28 years to help reverse the effects of decades of disinvestment in distressed communities citywide. Philadelphia LISC's services to CDCs include loan-financing, grants, technical assistance, and support on policy issues. Since its inception, Philadelphia LISC has raised $9.6 million in local funding. By combining these resources with national funds, LISC has been able to make over $44 million in community development loans and grants to CDCs in Philadelphia. The result has been 6,538 new housing units for lower income families and 1.37 million square feet of new commercial space and community facilities. Philadelphia LISC’s investments have leveraged $670 million in total development costs.
The Philadelphia Program is seeking a part-time intern to assist with implementation of its residential and commercial real estate investment work, and organizational development support services. The position requires a work schedule of 15-20 hours per week at a rate of $12 per hour.
