Did you know the Home Trust was founded as a Community Land Trust?

Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are non-profit organizations that help cultivate environments where the pursuit of wellbeing, stability and a sense of belonging can flourish, holding land for the collective benefit of a place-based community. A CLT acts as a guardian of crucial assets, such as affordable housing, community gardens, civic buildings, and commercial spaces ensuring these remain accessible and supportive of the community’s long-term needs.

The story of the modern CLT movement begins with the New Communities Inc., a prototype pioneered by Black civil rights activists in the United States. The seeds that fertilized that pioneering experiment however were drawn from traditions of ethical land tenure from around the world. The growth of the contemporary CLT reflects that global inheritance and a future in which communities worldwide benefit from the security of tenure that community-owned housing on community-owned land can provide.

Join us in celebrating World CLT Day May 15th and imagine what’s possible when land stays in community’s hands.
