Map of Community Land Trusts and Nonprofit Shared Equity Homeownership Programs in the United States

Based originally on the 2022 Census of Community Land Trusts and Nonprofits with Shared Equity Homeownership Programs, this interactive map displays the national population of Community Land Trusts (CLT) and Nonprofits with Shared Equity Homeownership (SEH) programs, including key characteristics available for each entity.

On this map, you will find:

Locations and service areas for each organization
Unit types and estimated counts
Key program characteristics such as legal mechanism, resale formula, income levels, and more
A downloadable database

Total population and program information is based on the best available data at the time of collection. Some programs may be absent, missing data, or out of date. We rely on users to help us keep the map and database accurate and up to date. If you would like to add your CLT/SEH program or update existing information, we invite you to complete an update form.
