Affordable Homeownership That Lasts

Dwelling Place Community Land Trust helps make homeownership more affordable while preserving it for future generations.

How it works
A Path to Homeownership Within Reach

Designed for income-qualified households looking for a more affordable way to buy a home and build a future.

How it works
You Own the Home. We Steward the Land.

By separating the cost of the home from the cost of the land, we make homeownership more affordable for today's buyers.

How it works
Build Stability, Equity, and Opportunity

Homeownership can create a foundation for financial growth, neighborhood connection, and long-term stability.

How it Works
Keeping Homeownership Affordable for Future Generations

Every Community Land Trust home helps create lasting opportunities for future families to achieve homeownership.

How it works

What is a Community Land Trust?

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.
