Community Land Trust (CLT) development can help secure and sustain your neighborhood, permanently.
Community Land Trusts: Building equity from the ground up.
Everyone is entitled to a safe, stable home.
Our Priorities
The Kansas City Community Land Trust works with and for people who have been systemically excluded from economic opportunity. Our programs help ensure everyone has the opportunity to benefit from quality housing, community investment, and homeownership.
KCCLT is a mission-driven community partner that creates permanently affordable housing solutions and advocates for housing policies that promote equity and inclusion.
To accomplish this, KCCLT acquires land and removes it from the speculative, for-profit real estate market. We hold the land “in trust” forever for the benefit of the community by ensuring that it will always remain affordable for income-qualified homebuyers. There are over 300 CLTs throughout the U.S., as well as several organizations using the CLT model to provide affordable ownership opportunities.
Our Mission
The community land trust model ensures that property invested in and developed by the community, stays in the community.
Let’s build an equitable future together.
Join the movement.
Whether you’re looking to become a Community Land Trust (CLT) homeowner, collaborate as a partner, or invest in lasting affordability, your involvement helps create a more equitable, cooperative, and community-driven housing system. Together, we’re building stable, affordable homeownership opportunities that keep our neighborhoods strong for generations to come.
