Organizational Development
LISC believes that community development corporations (CDCs) are one of the best vehicles to achieve lasting and positive community change for the benefit of low and moderate income people. The CDC "industry" has grown enormously over the past decade. According to the National Congress for Community Economic Development, there are currently 3,600 Community Development Corporations (CDCs) in the United States. This represents a 64% increase since 1994. In order for CDCs to keep up with their own growth in numbers, program sizes, and program complexity, they must develop and sustain state-of-the-art management practices.
For many years, Bay Area LISC has sponsored housing development training programs for CDC staff and board members, and also has a track record of providing capacity-building operating support to Bay Area CDCs. As the groups we serve become more mature, and complicated, LISC has played a convenor role on organizational development issues.
