Why Fund a Land Trust?
Community Benefits
Land trusts contribute to the well-being of communities by providing housing opportunities and supporting local economies.
Lasting Affordability
We acquire and hold the land, and build housing on the land, selling the house but not the land to low income families at an affordable price.
Stewardship
Conserving land is just the beginning. To ensure its continued health and sustainability, it's essential to invest in proper stewardship. This involves careful planning, financial resources, and fostering strong relationships with stakeholders and the community.
Resale
Residents of a community land trust (CLT) can sell their homes. There is a limit on resale profits to ensure that the housing remains affordable for the next owner. The buyer must meet the trust's eligibility requirements. Many community land trusts will purchase homes from owners looking to sell and then resell them to eligible buyers.
