European Community Land Trust Network

A voice for Community Land Trusts in Europe.

Vision

We want Community Land Trusts to be recognised as a mainstream option for affordable, inclusive and sustainable land use and housing across Europe in order to demonstrate innovative approaches to delivering both social and environmental impact.

Mission

To enable the growth of CLTs across Europe and support them to maximise their long-term social and environmental impact.

Our network objectives

CLTs become understood by a wide audience, picked up by broad coalitions, firmly on the political agenda and ultimately become a mainstream idea.
Policy makers create a supportive environment for CLTs to grow by reforming housing and land laws and policies.
Businesses transform their practices by collaborating with CLTs on their development projects.

What are Community Land Trusts?

CLTs are non-profit, democratic, community-led organisations. They develop and manage homes that are affordable to low and middle income households, as well as other assets that contribute to thriving local communities. They act as long-term stewards of these assets, ensuring they remain permanently affordable.
