Here Are The Most Frequently Asked Questions
A Community Land Trust (CLT) is a nonprofit organization that acquires, holds, and stewards land and buildings for the long-term benefit of a community. CLTs typically offer affordable housing by selling or leasing homes while retaining ownership of the land, ensuring that the housing remains permanently affordable and accessible to low- and moderate-income community members.
