On Wednesday evening, June 18th, LISC NYC headquarters buzzed with energy as approximately 60 distinguished stakeholders, community partners, and funding allies gathered for IMPACCT Brooklyn’s Insider Insights Strategic Uplift & Outlook. The evening marked a pivotal moment in our organization’s 61-year history—the official launch of IMPACCT Brooklyn 2.0.
