what is a community land trust?
A Community Land Trust (CLT) is a non-profit land stewardship model that creates and preserves affordable, community-driven housing.
Residents purchase homes based on our net cost rather than market value, passing along the affordability provided through government support and our not-for-profit approach. Price controls, which are typically tied to inflation, are built into the model to keep the homes affordable at resale.
community land trusts create unique opportunities for:
- Intentional community design and support for lower-income households
- Higher-quality housing at lower construction costs than typical for-profit developers
- Access to home ownership, stability and autonomy for households that cannot finance market prices
- Household equity building instead of landlord wealth
