Home Futures Institute: Introduction to Community Land Trusts for Cities and Public Partners

Community land trusts, or CLTs, meet urgent community needs by placing homeownership within reach of those shut out by discrimination or high-cost markets, providing affordable housing opportunities and preventing displacement due to gentrification. CLTs can also be used to preserve commercial and community spaces, as well as access to open space and farmland. Black farmers and civil rights leaders developed the model over 50 years ago, and today urban and rural communities alike are using the model to ensure community control of land.

This introductory webinar is for individuals in the public sector who are interested in learning more about the CLT model and how they can support its creation, growth and sustainability. Hear from Washington State CLT experts and public partners about how they are working together and what they are looking ahead to in the future.

This webinar is offered as part of the Home Futures Institute, presented by Grounded Solutions Network and the Northwest Community Land Trust Coalition, and made possible by the State of Washington Department of Commerce.
