About the Center for CLT Innovation
Purpose
The purpose of the Center for Community Land Trust Innovation will be to further the development of the community land trust model both in the United States and abroad. To support the development of new community land trusts and the training of community land trust practitioners, the Center for Community Land Trust Innovation will engage in activities that include but are not limited to the following: (a) maintaining and curating historical materials; (b) conducting, cataloging and disseminating academic and non-academic research; (c) producing and publishing case studies, directories, guides, and other educational materials; and (d) training, referral, and technical assistance services.
Areas of Focus
INNOVATION: The Center for Community Land Trust Innovation will foster new ways of conceptualizing, structuring, and applying the community land trust model that go beyond the provision of permanently affordable housing. Initial priorities of the innovation program will be to explore uses of the model in promoting security of tenure in informal settlements in Latin America and South Asia, as well as securing land for urban agriculture in the US – and elsewhere.
HISTORY: The Center for Community Land Trust Innovation’s history program is tasked with maintaining and curating historical materials originally collected in the digital archive, Roots&Branches. This archive will continue to document the growth of the community land trust movement in the United States, while devoting increased attention to the origin and evolution of community land trusts in other countries and in Puerto Rico.
RESEARCH: The Center for Community Land Trust Innovation's research program will catalogue and disseminate both academic and non-academic studies that examine the formation and performance of community land trusts. It will also evaluate the policy environment within which community land trusts either prosper or fail to thrive.
