HOW COMMUNITY LAND TRUST WORKS
The community land trust owns the land beneath the homes, while residents own their houses. When homeowners sell, they receive a fair return on their investment based on a predetermined formula, but the home remains affordable for the next family. This creates a permanent stock of affordable housing that can never be lost to speculation or gentrification.

Detroit's CLT movement demonstrates how communities can reclaim their neighborhoods and build collective wealth even in the face of decades of disinvestment.
