Welcome

The Oakland Community Land Trust (OakCLT) was established through the joint efforts of Urban Strategies Council and our community partners. The OakCLT was founded with the purpose of combating community deterioration and expanding housing and economic development opportunities for low and moderate income residents. The OakCLT promotes neighborhood stability and community involvement through the provision of permanently affordable homeownership and equity-sharing options. The OakCLT also supports the development of commercial and retail facilities that serve working families. We strive to foster leadership through a responsible and informed board of community members and serve as a voice for low and moderate income residents of Oakland.

Oakland Community Land Trust
February 22nd Named OakCLT Day by Mayor Dellums

Neighborhood Stabilization Program Project

The initial project of the Oakland Community Land Trust will transform 200 vacant foreclosed houses into permanently affordable homes, allowing families earning between 50 and 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) to purchase homes and build equity in Oakland. Currently 50 percent of AMI for a family of four in Oakland is $44,650. "Affordable housing" generally means that no more than 30 percent of a family's monthly income should go to housing costs. The OakCLT is a shared-equity model that builds wealth for homeowners, while preserving affordability in perpetuity and providing stability for neighborhoods most impacted by the foreclosure crisis.
