Community Land Trust

Community Land Trusts – or CLTs – give ordinary people the means to steward land for local wellbeing; developing and managing homes and other assets important to their local community. 

More than housing. In England and Wales, many CLTs are concerned with affordable homes. But the CLT model can also be used to safeguard assets valuable to the community like community enterprises, food growing or workspaces. Or to steward large areas of common or public land. 

Growing and here to stay. The number of CLTs has been growing exponentially for a decade. They act as long-term stewards of community assets, ensuring that they remain genuinely affordable for local people, not just for now but for every future occupier.
