Over the past three years, LISC Connecticut has accelerated work with our partners to provide critical resources to those communities with the greatest need. LISC Connecticut has stepped up advocacy for desegregation, facilitating the development of affordable housing in suburban towns that have historically limited access to Black and Brown residents, and worked to ensure that diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice are embedded in all of our programming. LISC has also begun more direct community engagement, with the goal of supporting resident leadership so that residents are truly driving the development of their neighborhoods.

LISC Connecticut is excited to invite you to its second Racial Equity and Community Engagement convening happening Thursday, December 12 from 8:30am - 12pm in New Haven. We will feature New Haven-based organizations to share about their work on racial equity and raising resident voice. We will also have a discussion with DataHaven on use of data on race and ethnicity

We hope to see all you there! For any questions/concerns, please reach out to Debi Martin at dmartin@lisc.org or 860.278.1283.
