The Troost and Prospect Corridors are hubs of activity connected to more than 25 neighborhoods in varying conditions of health, with a large number of institutional assets that benefit the entire Kansas City region. The specific focus areas reflect existing investment strategies deployed by Urban Neighbor-hood Initiative (UNI), Kansas City Crime Commission, the City of Kansas City,

Since 2006, LISC has invested more than $6.5 million in loans, direct grants and consulting contracts for this critical piece of the city. This support includes crime and housing analysis conducted by UMKC, policy work which led to the passage of the Missouri Land Bank legislation in 2012, and the launch of the first Financial Opportunity Center at Rockhurst University in 2013. LISC contin-ues to be an instrumental partner to combating violent crime with Kansas City’s No Violence Alliance (NoVA) and is now the community engagement provider for the $1 million Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Grant.

The Historic Northeast contains eight neighborhoods around the central spine of Independence Avenue. It is a cultural melting pot reflected by a diverse collection of small businesses and neighborhood organizations. Since 2006, Greater Kansas City LISC has invested over $5.5 million in grants and loans for its revitalization, contributing to such initiatives as capacity building of the Scarritt Renaissance Neighborhood Association, combating graffiti with community art projects, conducting feasibility studies, and improving safety with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).

Now, with the assistance of LISC, a Commercial Improvement District along Independence Ave. is burgeoning with Mattie Rhodes Center, the Northeast Alliance Together (NEAT) and the Northeast Chamber of Commerce. The Paseo Gateway Choice Neighborhood team is applying for a HUD Imple-mentation Grant, and LISC’s third Financial Opportunity Center opens at the new site of Guadalupe Centers, Inc.

Downtown, KCKThe urban center of Wyandotte County contains an array of neighbor-hoods demonstrating a full range of diversity in race, income and hous-ing, authenticated by the current influx of new immigrants as well as the generations of families who remain. It is also home to St. Peter/Water-way, LISC’s successful NeighborhoodsNOW sustainable community. Nearly $660,000 of LISC investment leveraged $3.2 million in new housing, community amenities and infrastructure improvements to make this neighborhood a place its residents are proud to call home.

LISC is working with its partners to build upon its investment in Kansas City, Kansas, which has totaled $18 million since 2006. Downtown Shareholders continues to maintain the cleanliness and safety of the business corridor to attract new businesses. In Douglass-Sumner, with the help of Community Housing of Wyandotte County, 6 new homes were built between 2011 and 2014, and LISC is injecting another $1 million for more housing in the near future. The recent unveiling of the Downtown Central Parkway Healthy Community Plan, funded by LISC and its partners, is energized by a new YMCA and grocery store.

Thank you!Coordination, Collaboration, LeverageSince 1981, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) has coordinated more than $610 million in devel-opment investment for local projects in Greater Kansas City, through the leveraging of $143 million in direct LISC funding. Our holistic approach to revitalization considers all the needs of a community - decent and affordable homes, good schools, safe streets, quality health care, and jobs that can support a family. With this approach, Greater Kansas City LISC is building paths to prosperity in the places others have left behind.

As we examine the Kansas City community development landscape today, we see the evidence of successful projects as well as the voids left from unfortunate missteps over time. To create a brighter future, we embrace a few poignant themes that resonate from great neighborhood revitalization strate-gies across the country:

1. Progress starts with residents because no one knows a community better than those who live there.

2. Large scale change requires broad cross-sector coordination.

3. Lower risk and greater returns come from leveraging our collective intellectual and financial capital.
