///////// Thank you to everyone who worked with LISC Philadelphia in 2022 to create resilient and inclusive communities of opportunity – great places to live, work, do business and raise families.

Together we are pursuing racial equity through empowering residents and communities who have suffered decades of discrimination. Through expanding economic opportunity and increasing access to affordable housing, we are reinvesting resources in neighborhoods and people who have been deeply harmed by systemic policies and practices.

No single organization can tackle these issues alone. More than forty years ago, LISC opened the Philadelphia office to forge public-private partnerships to catalyze equitable community development. Thanks to active collaboration with thirty-four organizations and with the support of many more, in 2022 we continued to make progress toward our goal of building inclusive opportunities.

This report is a testament to the dedication and support of our staff, partners, donors, volunteers and most importantly of community residents and leaders throughout Philadelphia. As we reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, we are acutely aware of all that is still needed to correct injustices and rebuild strong communities.

Thank you again for your ongoing collaboration and shared belief in our mission. We look forward to continuing to partner with you on the challenging work ahead.

Sincerely,

Andrew Frishkoff Executive Director LISC Philadelphia
