Hope Springs is a Community Land Trust Development

Greeley-Weld Habitat for Humanity Hope Springs - Baessler Homes

Community land trusts (CLTs) are nonprofit organizations governed by a board of CLT residents, community residents, and public representatives. They provide lasting community assets and shared equity homeownership opportunities for families and communities.

How a Community Land Trust Works

A typical community land trust for affordable housing works like this:

A family or individual purchases a house that sits on land owned by the community land trust. The purchase price is more affordable because the homeowner only buys the house, not the land. The homeowners lease the land from the community land trust on a long-term (a 99-year), renewable lease.

The homeowners agree to sell the home at a restricted price to keep it affordable in perpetuity. Still, they may be able to realize appreciation for the improvements they make while they live in the house.
