How it works

COMMUNITY LAND TRUSTS

Homeownership, Reimagined.

A Community Land Trust makes homeownership more affordable by separating ownership of the home from ownership of the land beneath it.

Together, we keep homeownership affordable.

Community Land Trust homeownership creates opportunities for today's homebuyers while preserving affordability for tomorrow's.

Lower Purchase Price

Removing the cost of land helps make homeownership more affordable from day one.

Build Equity

As your home's value grows, you build equity while owning your home.

Affordable for the Next Family

When it's time to sell, the home remains affordable for another income-qualified buyer.
