About the California Community Land Trust Network

The California Community Land Trust Network (CACLTN) is a membership organization representing 26 Community Land Trusts (CLTs) and collectively over $220 million of community assets throughout the state of California. Community Land Trusts steward permanently affordable and community-controlled land and housing, creating an alternative to speculative investment and displacement from Humboldt County to San Diego. 

CACLTN supports the work of its member organizations and communities through state-level

policy advocacy, technical assistance, member and community conferences, peer-peer training, 

capacity building, and development of financial/legal tools to enhance CLT development in California.

Among other achievements, in the past two years, CACLTN has launched a CLT Academy and a technical assistance program to support member organizations and groups organizing towards community ownership. CACLTN also successfully championed the $500M Foreclosure Intervention Housing Preservation Program that will support the conversion of distressed properties to community ownership. CACLTN currently employs two full time staff and carries out an ambitious set of policy advocacy and capacity building projects with the time and energy of its board of directors, contractors, and member organizations.
