Harris County
Community Land Trust

Did you know there are nearly 300 community land trusts currently in operation in the United States?

The Harris County Community Land Trust (CLT) is a community-based not-for-profit organization established in January 2021 as part of the HCHFC to serve as the long-term steward of land within Harris County. As a means to protect long-term affordability and access to housing, the CLT purchases and holds land permanently “in trust” for the benefit of people in the community.

The CLT is governed by a board of directors comprised of residents, community representatives, and members of the public.

The goals of the Harris County Community Land Trust are:

Providing quality, safe, affordable homeownership options to low-income homebuyers.
Ensuring housing stays affordable for future low-income community residents.

If your financial situation makes typical homeownership unattainable, the CLT may be right for you.
