A Different Path to Homeownership

A Community Land Trust helps make homeownership affordable today and keeps it affordable for future generations.

Dwelling Place owns the land beneath the home, while homeowners purchase the house itself. By removing the cost of land from the purchase price, we create opportunities for more households to become homeowners while preserving affordability for the future.
