<p class="MsoNormal"
style="text-autospace:none">A
Community Land Trust (CLT) is a
blended land ownership model. It
secures socio-economic and
environmental goals through
non-profit ownership of the land
and leasing it back to private
owners or organizations focused on
community benefit. Affordability
and other goals are built into the
lease creating a powerful and
balance means of blending private
and community benefits.</p>
<p> This unique land tenure has
proven itself to actually <b>increase
housing affordability</b> over
time, both for rentals and owner
occupied housing. This workshop
will elevate these applications as
a priority. However, CLTs have
several other applications. Two
will be touched on in this
workshop; how it can be used
facilitate the transfer of land to
a new generation of ecologically
conscious young farmers and the
provision of affordable work
space. <font face="Cambria"> </font>
</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Sound
interesting and relevant? We hope
so. Come and spend 5 hours
engaging with Michael Lewis, the
leading Canadian expert on CLTs.
