Community Land Trust

"A community land trust (CLT) is a private, nonprofit corporation whose mission is to acquire,

hold, develop, lease and steward land for making uses such as housing, farmland, gardens,

businesses, and other community assets permanently affordable for current and future

generations. A CLT’s bylaws prescribe that the governing board include individuals who reside in the CLT’s service area and have meaningful representation from individuals who currently or

may in the future live in the CLT’s homes."
