Maggie Walker Community Land Trust

Maggie Walker Community Land Trust The Maggie Walker CLT seeks to develop and steward permanently affordable housing opportunities to foster racially equitable communities.

The Maggie Walker Community Land Trust (MWCLT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to develop and maintain permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for low and moderate-income households. The organization was formed in 2016 and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Using the Community Land Trust (CLT) model, the MWCLT creates homes that are sold to qualified buyers

while retaining ownership of the land beneath the houses. These homes receive permanent subsidy that stays in the home and allows the home to be sold below market value. As an affordable alternative to renting, the CLT model allows families to build wealth through their monthly mortgage payments. In exchange for buying the house at a lower price, a CLT homeowner agrees to pass on the gift, and sell the home at a price that is affordable to someone in a similar financial situation. The new resale price is determined by the increase in the Richmond region’s Area Median Income (AMI). The Maggie Walker CLT is committed to providing perpetually affordable homes to families with modest incomes throughout Richmond’s neighborhoods. In this way, we can keep our neighborhoods diverse and vibrant, even as housing prices rise. Without a program like the MWCLT, some neighborhoods in Richmond will be unaffordable to many of our citizens in the next decade.

Our mission aligns so perfectly with her legacy!

Happy International Museum Day! Did you know that Maggie L. Walker helped preserve Frederick Douglass’ home in Washington, D.C.? Walker was part of a group of Black women who raised funds for the home’s maintenance and preservation starting in the 1910s. Their efforts paid off the home’s mortgage, restored the home, improved the grounds, and funded the construction of the caretaker’s cottage which is still part of the site today. The home has been an NPS site since the 1960s. Visit the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site the next time you’re in the D.C. area and take a ranger-guided tour of the home.

🏠 RVA RENT vs OWN — Let’s Talk About It… 💭

In Richmond right now, rent is climbing FAST.
A typical apartment or rental home can cost anywhere from $1,400 to $2,200+ a month… and that’s money you’ll never see again. 💸

Now imagine this instead…

✨ Owning your home
✨ Stable monthly payments
✨ Building equity with every payment
✨ Creating generational wealth

Through the Maggie Walker Community Land Trust program, homeownership isn’t just a dream—it’s a real, affordable option.

💡 With our program, your monthly mortgage could be comparable to (or even LESS than) rent—but instead of paying a landlord, you’re investing in YOU.

📊 Rent = Expense
🏡 Ownership = Investment

Why keep paying someone else’s mortgage when you could start building your own future?
