Local Initiativ

Local Initiative for Sustainable Communities (LISC) is a non-profit organization based in Hartford, CT that focuses on affordable housing and community development. Through partnerships with local organizations and government agencies, LISC provides technical assistance and project loans to support the creation of affordable housing units for families and individuals in need. Their work extends beyond housing development, as they also prioritize education, advocacy, and community engagement to address the overlooked need for affordable housing in towns like Old Saybrook. By collaborating with stakeholders and leveraging funding from various sources, LISC aims to create stable and thriving communities for all.

Ferry Crossing, a successful project supported by LISC, is a housing development located in Old Saybrook, CT. Completed in 2012, it offers 16 homes with one, two, and three-bedroom units for families earning less than 80% of the area median income. Some units are specifically reserved for families who were previously homeless or living in motels, as well as military veterans. With funding from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, Liberty Bank, and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, Ferry Crossing provides affordable housing options and stability for individuals and families, allowing them to rebuild their lives and create a positive future.
