• Home Affordability, Sustainability, Community

As home prices skyrocket, home affordability becomes further out of reach for many. Efforts to make home affordability possible and sustainable require public and a private collaboration. Community Home Trust is a Community Land Trust with a mission to “strengthen communities through the development and stewardship of permanently affordable homes and related community assets. Community Home Trust delivers housing affordability to diverse populations in partnership with our communities. Their vision is a world in which barriers are removed for those wanting a home they can afford, where the supply of those homes keeps pace with the demand, and all individuals have long term access to a safe home where they can thrive, work, and grow.” Listen in and meet our guests:
