What Is A Community Land Trust?

A Community Land Trust (CLT) – is a member based non-profit organization that obtains  and manages land for community benefit. A CLT is a membership based organization open to all people who live or work within a specified  geographic area.  Parcels of land are removed from the real estate  market and become community owned. The CLT owns the land and puts it to use for community benefit. The CLT is a democratically governed organization. Through a unique board structure, meaningful community based decision making is possible.
