LISC Houston is a local office of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), the nation’s largest community development support organization. With residents and partners, we forge resilient and inclusive communities
Earlier this year, LISC Houston and Financial Opportunity Center® partners joined colleagues nationwide to address a growing issue: families’ assets at risk due to heirs’ property and lack of estate planning. Those conversations sparked our new Protection and Legacy Planning Initiative paper, which reframes asset protection as a core part of financial mobility.
Read how FOCs can help families protect what they’ve built—before it becomes a crisis.

The future of Houston showed up. 💥
Through the partnership between the East End District and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), students leaders are committing two full Saturdays to learning how to advocate, organize, and lead positive change in their communities.
They’re learning how different levels of government function, why voting matters, and why it’s critical to know who has been elected to represent them. Civic knowledge is civic power.
Next weekend, their journey culminates in a mock City Council session — giving them the opportunity to put their advocacy skills into action and exercise everything they’ve learned.
This is what investing in leadership looks like.
This is the next generation stepping up.
The East End’s future is in very good hands. 🌟

El futuro de Houston se hizo presente. 💥
A través de la alianza entre el East End District y Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), estudiantes dedicaron dos sábados completos a aprender cómo abogar, organizarse y liderar cambios positivos en sus comunidades.
Están aprendiendo cómo funcionan los diferentes niveles de gobierno, por qué es importante votar y por qué es fundamental saber quiénes han sido elegidos para representarlos. El conocimiento cívico es poder cívico.
El próximo fin de semana, su experiencia culminará con una simulación de una sesión del Concejo Municipal, donde pondrán en práctica todo lo que han aprendido.
Así es como se invierte en liderazgo.
Así es como la próxima generación da un paso al frente.
El futuro del East End está en muy buenas manos. 🌟
