Description

"We support emerging and established Community Land Trusts (CLTs) to form and build permanently affordable housing to benefit their local communities. We believe that there are extraordinary benefits from putting citizens at the centre of housing development: CLTs offer a unique way to address housing need whilst also building sustainable, vibrant communities.

The CLT Fund was first launched as a pilot in 2008, to provide funding and expert support to fledgling CLTs from initial feasibility through to the construction of affordable homes. After a successful five years we remain committed to ensuring the CLT market continues to grow and as a result we are re-launching the Fund Spring 2014 for 5 more years of operation.

We provide funding and expert support to fledgling Community Land Trusts from initial feasibility – where communities are identifying a need and thinking about a solution – through to financing the pre-planning stage and the construction of affordable homes."
