TENTERDEN COMMUNITY LAND TRUST
A community organisation seeking to achieve genuinely affordable housing for local residents. "We want to ensure that our children are able to afford to live in their own community, and to raise their children here as we did.”
A Community Land Trust is a form of community led housing, set up and run by the community as long-term stewards of housing, ensuring it remains genuinely affordable, not just now but for every future occupier.
A Community Land Trust (CLT) is a not for profit organisation reinvesting its surplus in the CLT. Local people living and working in the community can join the CLT as members and control it; usually by a Board elected from the membership.
It is a growing movement and is supported by the Government who have created The National Community Land Trust Network who provide a wealth of information.
