  1. Community Land Trusts:How do they work? Land is owned by the Community Land Trust, which is governed by a non-profit board. A 99-year ground lease between CLT and owner ensures owner-occupancy and responsible use and outlines fees paid to the CLT. Buildings (residential or commercial) are owned by individuals. Because they pay only for the structure, and not the underlying land, purchasing the building is more affordable. A resale formula built in to the ground lease is designed to keep homes affordable for subsequent buyers.

  3. CLT’s Reduce Foreclosure ____________________________________________________ • Conventional homeowners are 8 times more likely to be in foreclosure than CLT homeowners. • Up from 2008 – 6 times more likely. • 4.6% of traditional mortgages vs. 0.6% of CLT mortgages in foreclosure. • 4.5% – 30.6% of traditional mortgages seriously delinquent vs. 1.6% of CLT mortgages National CLT Network 2009 Foreclosure Study
