Diamond State CLT is a non-profit organization that envisions a world where everyone has an opportunity for safe, healthy, and affordable housing. For us, it starts in Delaware where house and land costs are rapidly outpacing wages making homeownership out of reach for many. 

​

Using the community land trust (CLT) model, Diamond State CLT acquires and holds land for the benefit of a community, ensuring long-term affordability and stability, which helps individuals and families purchase homes at below-market prices. It offers a unique, affordable path to owning a home while ensuring long-term consistency. This model provides the same quality of life and peace of mind as traditional homeownership, allowing homebuyers to focus on building the life they want, without the burden of rising housing costs.

Since 2006, Diamond State, CLT has created 41 permanently affordable homes across Delaware, serving more than 56+ families, and preserving over $3 million in public investment.​
