What we do
1
Affordable Housing
-
Provide permanently affordable housing: This is the core function. We acquire land and ensure that housing on that land remains affordable for generations.
-
Remove the cost of land from the homeownership equation: By owning the land, the EVCLT reduces the purchase price for homebuyers.
2
Community Development
-
Promote community-led development: we are governed by a board that include residents and community members, giving them a voice in local development.
-
Empower individuals and families: we provide access to homeownership for those who might otherwise be excluded from the market.
-
Promote responsible land stewardship: we ensure that land is used in a way that benefits the community and protects natural resources.
3
Empowerment & Stewardship
-
Stabilize communities: we help to prevent displacement of residents due to rising housing costs.
-
Address historical inequities: We aim tool to address historical barriers to homeownership faced by marginalized communities.
