Madison Area Community Land Trust

The mission of the Madison Area Community Land Trust (MACLT) is to liberate land for the benefit of historically marginalized populations at the lowest incomes possible, preserving urban space for community use, and creating deeply and permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for those typically exploited by the housing market.

The purpose of the MACLT is to create and preserve affordable housing options in the Madison, Wisconsin area by acquiring land, developing homes, and establishing long-term affordability restrictions. The MACLT also seeks to build community and empower residents by encouraging resident involvement in decision-making and promoting community engagement. Through the development of permanently affordable homes, MACLT aims to address the issue of displacement and ensure that individuals and families with limited income can continue to live in the Madison area. Additionally, the MACLT seeks to promote sustainability by developing energy-efficient homes and encouraging sustainable practices among its residents.
