- Description Interest
- As the Assistant Executive Director of Green Planet Company, I play an instrumental role in our organization's efforts to address the affordable housing crisis through sustainable and environmentally conscious solutions. I am deeply committed to promoting social justice, diversity, and inclusion within the housing sector.
My passion for societal change is fueled by a broad range of interests. I am a strong advocate for young entrepreneurship, believing in the power of innovative and fresh perspectives to revolutionize traditional industries, particularly in creating affordable housing.
Inclusion and diversity are at the heart of my advocacy work. I am determined to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their background, have access to affordable, sustainable living. I am also a proud member and supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and strive to uphold our rights, particularly in housing and other key societal areas.
My dedication to environmentalism and conservation is evident in my professional and personal pursuits. I advocate for energy efficiency as a vital component of sustainable housing, promoting the use of renewable resources and reducing our carbon footprint.
In every facet of my work, my mission is to contribute to a more equitable, sustainable world where everyone has access to affordable, safe, and environmentally responsible housing.

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.
