What is a CLT?

Community land trusts are set up and run by ordinary people to develop and manage homes as well as other assets. CLTs act as long-term stewards of housing, ensuring that it remains genuinely affordable, based on what people actually earn in their area, not just for now but for every future occupier. For a more detailed definition and explanatory videos, please see our 'About CLTs' page by clicking below.
