Partnering for Permanence: Lessons for CLTs and Cities

Preserving Affordable Homeownership — a new report jointly produced by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the International Center for Community Land Trusts — shows how community land trusts (CLTs) are partnering with cities, counties, and states to keep homes affordable for generations.

Highlights from the report:

• Insights from more than 115 CLTs surveyed nationwide

• How municipalities are starting and funding CLTs — from Tampa to Indianapolis

• Why governments are shifting to permanent affordability instead of one-time subsidies

• Recommendations for stronger public-CLT partnerships and pitfalls to avoid

As Columbia University professor Sheila R. Foster says, this is a “groundbreaking and insightful report” that will make a big difference for policymakers and practitioners alike.
