October Is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

During the month of October we focus on creating a greater level of awareness around the issue of Domestic Violence. However, somewhere in Connecticut, Domestic Violence is a problem that occurs every day. We encourage you to be aware of and alert to the problem at all times.

  • Do whatever you can to help those who are afflicted while trying to stay safe yourself.

A CALL–TO-MEN and OneWorld Progressive Institute provide a short video:

“10 Effective Strategies to END Domestic Violence.” It is a hands-on, sensible and practical approach by three men (and one woman) with suggestions on how to stop Domestic Violence. https://youtu.be/_1QjqODOkcY

  • Domestic Violence is defined as a pattern of coercive, controlling behavior

  • It can be physical abuse, emotional or psychological abuse, sexual abuse or financial abuse.

  • It is a pervasive, life-threatening crime that affects thousands of individuals in Connecticut and all across America and the world.

  1. Domestic Violence can be carried out by men and women.
  2. More women are the victims of physical and financial abuse by men.
  3. Children also suffer when one parent is being abuse by another adult.
  4. The abuse to children often has long-term consequences.
  5. Don’t sit quietly and suffer or see your children suffer.
  6. If you are being abused, or if you are an abuser, GET HELP!
  • In CT Call 888-774-2900 for HELP or to Talk to Someone.

Please don't regard Domestic Violence as just ' being a part of life.'  It does not have to be that way.  Each of us can help to change it.  "Domestic Violence Accounts for 1 in 3 Murders of Women."

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.
