Community Land Trusts
A Community Land Trust (CLT) is a nonprofit organization that holds land in trust for the benefit of the community. The primary purpose of a CLT is to provide affordable housing, although some CLTs also manage land for other community needs such as agriculture, commercial spaces, or conservation.
