About

Formed in 2006 and based in Dover, our mission is to strengthen Delaware communities by creating an inventory of permanently affordable homes.

We make use of the leasehold form of home ownership to provide homes that are secure and inheritable, as well as affordable upon resale to the next home buying family. Our home owners are CLT members and hold positions on the Diamond State Community Land Trust Board of Directors.

In 2022, NeighborGood Partners assumed management of the Diamond State Community Land Trust (DSCLT) to ensure that this valuable component of Delaware’s affordable housing continuum would remain in business. In 2023, DSCLT’s Program Manager became a full-time member of NeighborGood Partners staff, but the land trust remains an independent organization with its own nonprofit IRS designation.
