Holistic, place-based - sounds good as does the implication of top down support for bottom up problem solving. Still not clear if this is more process or proscription and if prosciption what's been proscribed. Wish evidence was more apparent in CT that we're turning around out cities. Aside from Yale incentivising urban homeownership for it's employees -what other specifics can we point to that have worked?

Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) salutes and honors our military Veterans today. We are grateful for your dedication and distinguished service. Many Veterans live in the neighborhoods where we work. LISC has financed hundreds of affordable homes for Veterans, many of which also provide vital support services. At NEF, we have also created the Homeless Veterans Initiative to finance more homes.

Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) What is LISC all about? Transforming distressed neighborhoods into Sustainable Communities. Want an example? Take a look at CNN Money's video report (Nov. 9, 2009) about the revival of the South Bronx, where LISC started and continues to play a vital role. CNN calls it: "perhaps the greatest turnaround in U.S. history."
