Community Land Trusts Are Working to Create New Homeowners

Community Vision CA – from LinkedIn

Did you catch our partner Oakland Community Land Trust in The New York Times? We are thrilled to see them featured in this story about the history, power and significance of Community Land Trusts (CLTs).

CLTs are critical vehicles for advancing #CommunityOwnership of community assets. Over the years, we’ve continued to deepen our partnership with CLTs, including through initiatives like our California Community-Owned Real Estate (CalCORE) program.

CalCORE works to address the capital and capacity barriers that many community-based developers face. By bringing together cohorts of small and emergent developers, with a focus on Black, Indigenous and people of color-led CLTs and CDCs, CalCORE provides community-based real estate entities with opportunities for network building, cohort training, one-on-one advising and project support, as well as access to pre-development and project capital.

We are honored to have partnered with Oakland Community Land Trust in a variety of ways over the past several years, including as a participant in our first CalCORE cohort.
