Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is an approach to combat traffic congestion and protect the environment that has caught on all across the country. It involves the creation of compact, walkable communities centered around high quality public transportation systems, making it possible to live a higher quality life without complete dependence on a car for mobility and survival.
In this webinar, experienced TOD practitioners Aaron Miripol (Urban Land Conservancy) Dace West (City of Denver), and Melinda Pollack (Enterprise) will provide an introduction to basic TOD concepts, describe examples of how it is being applied in various communities, and then focus in on the innovative work they are doing in Denver, Colorado.

Community Reinvestment Act
08.20.2010
Stronger CRA regulations and monitoring could benefit CLTs significantly if more lenders are seeking ways to do business and invest in low-income communities and serve low-income borrowers. The National CLT Network strongly encourages Community Land Trust organizations to offer comments on how CRA regulations can be strengthened to direct more resources to the communities you serve. Below is the link to the background and specifics on how your voice can be heard.

Foreclosure Survey Webinar
07.07.2010
Communities across the US are in crisis – with high rates of foreclosure continuing to drive down housing prices and creating a increasingly large pool of vacant properties in many of this country’s urban areas. This has led to the destabilization of many neighborhoods, as well as the loss of equity that for many families is their single largest source of wealth building.
However, in the midst of this crisis, there has emerged one model of homeownership that has shown extraordinary resiliency to the downturn in the market – community land trusts. With delinquency and foreclosure rates that are radically lower than the conventional housing market, the community land trust model has demonstrated the effectiveness of long-term stewardship in stabilizing community and protecting homeowner investment.
Please join us for a webinar on Thursday, July 8th, where we will review the results of the 2009 CLT Foreclosure and Delinquency Survey, and also reflect on lessons learned that we can apply in the future.

This detailed report by researcher Emily Thaden describes the findings from the survey. We will be holding a webinar on July 8, 2010, to review the findings, as well as make recommendations on how we can build on our successes going into the future.

The CLT Reader
05.19.2010
The Community Land Trust Reader explores the roots of low-foreclosure home ownership on community-owned land.
A new collection of essays, assembled for the first time, trace the roots, evolution, and prospects of the community land trust -- an innovative model of affordable housing shaped by the likes of Henry George and Ebenezer Howard, and flourishing today in hundreds of U.S. communities.
The Community Land Trust Reader, published by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy (www.lincolninst.edu) and edited by John Emmeus Davis, brings together the seminal texts that inspired and defined the community land trust movement. The essays – many of which have never before appeared in print, and others written expressly for this volume -- trace the intellectual origins of an eclectic model of tenure that was shaped by the social theories of Henry George, Ebenezer Howard, Ralph Borsodi, and Arthur Morgan, and by social experiments like the Garden Cities of England and the Gramdan villages of India.

2010 CLT Survey
04.23.2010
We have just completed preliminary analysis of the responses from the April 2010 CLT Survey. This survey was sent out to all community land trusts in the U.S., and we had 78 responses -- the most ever!
Thank you to all those who completed the survey and to Housing Land Trust of Sonoma County, Champlain Housing Trust, Thistle Communities and Proud Ground for helping to develop the survey.
While we have a lot of work to do sifting through the narrative responses, we have completed the initial summary report, along with a chart showing the geographic distribution of responses. The survey will not only inform the 2011 -2013 strategic plan, but also help us to deliver even better services in 2010! If you have comments about the survey or suggestions please go to the discussion forum (miscellaneous) to share your thoughts.

2009 Foreclosure Survey
04.08.2010
The 2009 National Community Land Trust Network (NCLTN) Delinquency & Foreclosure Survey, conducted in March 2010, was designed to compare results with the 2008 NCLTN survey and the 2008 and 2009 Mortgage Bankers Association National Delinquency Surveys.
This detailed report by researcher Emily Thaden describes the findings from the survey. We will be holding a webinar on July 8, 2010, to review the findings, as well as make recommendations on how we can build on our successes going into the future.
Overall, the data shows that CLTs continue to substantially outperform conventional housing when it comes to both foreclosures and delinquency. CLT homeowners were over 8 times less likely to be in the foreclosure process as compared to conventional homeowners. The delinquency rate for CLT homeowners was 1.6%, as compared to 5.4% to 30.6% for conventional homeownership.
The CLT Foreclosure Survey continues to demonstrate the resilience of the CLT model at both the top and bottom of real estate cycles -- and also reflects the excellent work that all of you do in your local communities.
