What is a CLT?

A Community Land Trust is a community based organisation, run by volunteers, that aims to provide truly affordable housing for local people.

What are the main characteristics of a CLT?

• CLTs are locally driven, controlled and democratically accountable
• CLTs can meet local housing needs even in areas with very high house prices
• CLTs, by retaining an equity share in each property, provide housing that is permanently affordable, benefitting many generations of residents
• CLTs give the community an asset for the future
• CLTs genuinely empower local communities, where assets that serve the aspirations of the community can be used to benefit their local area​
