2 WHAT are Community land trusts? CLTs are nonprofit organizations governed by a 3-part board of CLT residents, community residents and public representatives that provide lasting community assets and permanently affordable access to land for families and communities. The critical difference... CLTs make the distinction between ownership + of land and ownership of improvements and provide a democratic governance process. Community Land Trust Inclusionary fees are used to acquire land and operate CLT. CLT can partner with developers to construct any form of housing, from single-family detached to coops and Improvements owned privately by families and businesses Improvements IMPROVEMENTS LANDLand Land owned by CLT to ensure permanent affordability
3 Benefits of the clt model Community Control Board structure ensures that land-use decisions are community controlled and needs are community-defined Long -Term Stewardship CLTs provide long-term stewardship services to development projects by retaining ownership of land permanent affordability CLTs typically utilize ground leases with resale restrictions that permanently protect affordability and recycle subsidies
