WHAT LIIF DOES
The Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) is driven by its goal of poverty alleviation. LIIF pursues this aim by providing capital and technical assistance to help low income communities finance and build facilities for education, affordable and supportive housing, child care, and other community revitalization programs.
LIIF’s work is concentrated in three core markets:
- Southern California
- Northern California
- New York Metropolitan Area
- Washington, D.C.—New Office
LIIF serves the hardest to reach populations, providing opportunities to help low income families build savings and to combat practices or conditions that deplete their life assets. Approximately 71 percent of families supported by LIIF-financed projects are defined as very low income (very low income is defined as incomes at or below 50 percent of median area income, or 60 percent for housing tax credit purposes), and one-third of LIIF’s projects serve special needs populations including battered women, people with HIV/AIDS, the homeless and the mentally ill.
