Community development is about creating spaces where people can live, work, and thrive. It’s about creating resilient and inclusive communities that provide safe and affordable housing, economic opportunity, arts and culture, and healthy living for all residents. It’s about people coming together, sharing different ideas, and learning from one another to build communities of opportunity — neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block.

Join us on September 18 and come be a part of Twin Cities LISC's 30th anniversary celebration and learning summit. You'll be joined by the region’s most creative minds — leaders from the public, private, philanthropic, and community sectors working at the intersections of affordable housing, economic development, arts, and health and advancing the field of community development.
