Event Description

Come learn about the fascinating Morris Creek salt marsh ecosystem! Morris Creek is an elusive Land Trust Preserve that can only be accessed through Lighthouse Point Park.

Our guest speakers will be Lynne Bonnett from the Bioregional Group and John Cox, a knowledgeable and tireless NHLT volunteer. Lynne will speak to us about Tuttle and Morris Creeks from their headwaters to the Long Island Sound and speak about some of the challenges these creeks face in light of nearby municipal development. John Cox will teach us about some of the history of the area and about the ecological value of salt marshes.

The walk starts at 6 pm from the Butterfly Garden at Lighthouse Point Park (look for the red New Haven Land Trust truck). 

Walk is cosponsored by the Bioregional Group.

Thank you to the Quinnipiac River Fund and the New Haven Parks Dept for making this event possible!

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact

LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.

Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing

With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."

EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant

LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
