Rising Home Prices

Many communities are looking to the community land trust model as their preferred strategy to achieve permanent affordability. Dashboard 9: "CLTs in Florida” below illustrates the locations of active community land trusts in the state, their service areas, and the locations of existing units within a community land trust. While CLTs throughout Florida have focused primarily on homeownership, a growing number of local governments are also supporting permanent affordability for rental housing in partnership with a CLT. Doing so has the double benefit of increasing the number of affordable rental units while building the capacity of a nonprofit whose mission also involves producing and preserving affordable housing for homeownership.

Florida is a national leader in growth of CLTs and is the first in the nation to have a certification program. When a CLT is certified by the Florida Housing Coalition’s CLT Institute, local governments, lenders, and home buyers can be confident that CLT is using best practices for general operations and for stewardship.

If you are a nonprofit or local government interested in a community land trust, please contact the Florida Housing Coalition. We have the entire suite of education, technical assistance, and documentation you need.
