Northern
California Land Trust
The leading organization in the Western United States specializing
in permanently affordable housing for those who have no access to
market rate housing. NCLT ensures that homes it builds or rehabilitates
remain accessibly priced beyond the first homeowners. This is possible
by using the community land trust (CLT) model through which NCLT
retains the rights to the land upon which the home stands. When
a homeowner wishes to sell the house, NCLT ensures the selling price
is affordable, regardless of current market prices.
