Community land trusts (CLTs) are nonprofit, community-based organizations tasked with holding land permanently "in trust" for the benefit of people in the community. CLT land can be used for many types of development, including commercial and agricultural uses, but CLTs are primarily used to ensure long-term housing affordability. CLTs are governed by a board of directors made up of housing residents, community representatives, and members of the general public.

MISSION STATEMENT
The Indianapolis Community Land Trust equips Black, Brown, and under-resourced Indy residents to use land and housing to build community wealth. Indy CLT organizes residents to create cooperative, permanently affordable housing for the benefit of present and future generations. Guided by the principles of self-reliance, self-determination, anti-displacement, and racial justice, we work to increase housing opportunities with a focus on communities previously excluded from access to homeownership.
