Housing For All Long Beach Community Land Trust
The Long Beach Community Land Trust (CLT) is an exciting new step in continuing the efforts to preserve affordable housing in Long Beach. LiBRE is helping staff this new project to protect tenants and advance them towards home ownership through the city's first CLT.
What is a community land trust?
CLTs are an important form of social housing, taking land out of the speculative market, preventing displacement, and creating an environment for our communities to be rooted and thrive. Ongoing stewardship of the land resides with the community, rather than corporate landlords developing land into units that existing communities cannot afford. The Long Beach CLT is organized to stabilize our neighborhoods and create paths for working class residents of color to become homeowners. The CLT is in its early stages, establishing the foundation necessary to both acquire land and property for the CLT as soon as possible and to empower more residents to seek the resources to create and sustain a Community Land Trust.
