Learn more about Community Land Trusts
We are proud to be part of a growing movement of community land trusts in New York City, New York State, and the United States. More people are recognizing that community control of land is one of the most permanent and effective ways to solve the housing crisis. That puts Northern Manhattan CLT in the exciting position of spreading the word about community land trusts. If you’d like to host a CLT 101 training, please let us know. We’ll be happy to coordinate a time and date, and we may bring some other land trust friends, too!
We hope these resources are helpful and we thank the creators for their efforts in making this information accessible and easy to understand.
The New York City Community Land Initiative (NYCCLI, pronounced like the word “nicely” in English) has a wonderful interactive presentation about the history of CLTs.
This video is from Grounded Solutions, a national support provider to CLTs connecting local organizations like Northern Manhattan CLT with the networks, knowledge, and support we need.
Grounded Solutions Network also has a great primer on Community Land Trusts you can view here!
