As Black Business Month comes to a close, we’re proud to celebrate Black-owned small businesses supported by LISC LA’s Asset Building for Communities of Color (ABC) Program. Small businesses like Carla's Fresh Market, Compton Soul, Lawrencia Bridal Couture, Moon Global Studios, Global Electric, and Kids in the Spotlight, Inc. are driving innovation, creating jobs, and enriching neighborhoods across Los Angeles County. Let's continue to support and uplift these businesses—today and every day. The ABC Program, funded by Wells Fargo, provides flexible funding to help businesses in communities of color grow, create jobs, and build wealth. #BlackBusinessMonth #SmallBusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship #CommunityImpact #LISCLA Nicole Williams Krista Phipps Sabin Kim Diana Reyes, MBA Ariell Ilunga Erica Harris Lawrencia Blount Pamela Bright-Moon William Jackson Tige Charity Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC)

Proud to share LISC LA's 2023 Impact Report! As we reflect on another year of driving equitable growth in Los Angeles, I’m thrilled to highlight some of the transformative impacts we’ve achieved together: 📈 $149M invested in our communities, leveraging $552M to catalyze more than 1,161 affordable homes and 71,208 sq. ft. of commercial space. 🏪 Supporting entrepreneurs like Ariell Ilunga, who opened Carla’s Fresh Market with help from our Asset Building for Communities of Color program. 🏫 Graduating 25 local organizations from our Incubation Academy, leading to $1.8M in collective contracts for justice-involved individuals. 🏗️ Celebrating leaders like Gabriela Vega, who completed our Housing Development Training Institute, tackling California’s housing crisis head-on. 🚀 The Ascend LA program helped 40 minority-owned businesses secure over $53M in contracts last year. These achievements are made possible through the incredible support of our partners. A special thanks to our funders—JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, the Annenberg Foundation, and many others—who believe in and support our mission. Thank you for investing in a future that works for all of us. Let's continue to build and uplift together. 🔗 Link to full report below… #Impact #CommunityDevelopment #AffordableHousing #SmallBusiness #EconomicGrowth
