Bay Area Community Land Trust

Bay Area Community Land Trust The Bay Area Community Land Trust is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing affordable, sustainable, resident-controlled cooperative housing.

We are a membership organization whose board is elected by and accountable to its membership. The Bay Area Community Land Trust is the only non-profit organization in the East Bay committed to developing the higher density model of cooperative homeownership for low and moderate income communities. Cooperatively owned, limited equity, multi-family housing, on urban land that is permanently owned by

a community land trust (CLT), allows low and moderate income families to enjoy the benefits of home ownership in a setting of maximum energy efficiency.

Our Board and Staff came together for a day of visioning, truth-telling, and strategic planning. We honored the history that brought us here while mapping the future we’re building together.

We explored foundational challenges. We moved quickly to strategic clarity. We acknowledged where repair and reorganization are needed.

And here’s what matters most: everyone showed up ready. Ready to strengthen systems. Ready to do what it takes. Ready to build BACLT into the powerful, sustainable organization our community deserves.

Here’s to the road ahead. 🏘️✊

Join our team in 2026!

What a year of showing up for housing justice 🏡✨

From new properties and imagining futures, to fundraisers bringing the community together, to resident gatherings where the real leadership happens, this year was full of moments that matter.

Housing justice work is hard. It’s an uphill climb against systems designed to extract rather than sustain. But here’s what keeps us going:

💙 Our team has never been stronger. The collaboration, the commitment, the care, it’s real.

💙Our community partners show up. Your belief in collective ownership and community power makes all of this possible.

💙 Our residents lead the way. Your wisdom, leadership, and vision remind us every day why this work matters.

This isn’t just about preserving buildings. It’s about preserving community, building power, and proving that another way is possible.

Thank you to everyone in these photos and everyone behind the scenes. The work is challenging, but we’re doing it together. 💪🏽

🤝Members: Our membership has increased by 18%. Your commitment, participation, and belief in collective ownership make this work possible.

🏡Residents: You lead with courage and show us what community control looks like 🙏

✨Partners & Supporters: Your collaboration strengthens everything we do.

Here’s to 2026! more homes, more power, more community. Let’s keep building together! 🚀
