A community land trust (CLT) is a housing development model that aims to provide affordable housing to low- to moderate income households. This is accomplished by separating the ownership of land from the ownership of the structures built on the land. The CLT retains ownership of the land and provides homebuyers with an affordability gap subsidy so they can purchase a home in their appropriate price range.
