CLT Surveys

CLT Network Surveys
Starting in 2007, the National CLT Network has been conducting an annual survey of our membership to determine the rate of foreclosure of community land trust homeowners -- as well as to collect other information about the performance of community land trusts. For the past three years, the foreclosure rate of CLT homes has been many times lower than the national average.

National Study of Community Land Trusts -- Lincoln Institute of Land Policy
This report presents the results of a survey carried out in 2006 of the 186 Community Land Trusts (CLTs) known to exist at this time. CLTs are used in the U.S. mainly to provide owner-occupied housing for low income households. Specifically, the report presents the results on the background, current activities, and practices of CLTs in the US. The primary purpose of the survey was to obtain baseline information from organizations using the CLT model since there is no pre-existing body of systematic empirical information about the work of CLTs.
