Homestead Community Land Trust

Homestead Community Land Trust is a community land trust that develops and holds land in trust to create permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for lower-income households. The organization builds new homes, fundraises to reduce purchase prices to affordable levels, and uses deed restrictions and owner agreements to ensure homes remain affordable across generations. Homestead follows the community land trust model developed during the Civil Rights era to prevent displacement and enable wealth building through homeownership. The organization provides post-purchase support to homeowners and serves as a tool for community stability and economic resilience.
