Homestead Community Land Trust

Homestead Community Land Trust is a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington, with a staff of 14 employees. The organization generates approximately $2.5 million in annual revenue. Homestead Community Land Trust works to provide lower-income households with the opportunity to own affordable homes that will remain affordable for future owners. They achieve this through the development and management of land and housing in trust. Homestead Community Land Trust's efforts contribute to an equitable housing market, combat housing discrimination, and protect vulnerable communities from displacement. Homestead Community Land Trust follows the classic community land trust model, established during the Civil Rights era to prevent displacement and enable wealth building through homeownership. This model involves building new homes, utilizing fundraising to reduce purchase prices to an affordable level for lower-income households, and ensuring affordability in perpetuity through agreements with homeowners and ongoing support.
