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.

OakCLT named Best of the Bay Area!

June 22, 2010

The Oakland Community Land Trust has been named #10 out of 50 in San Francisco Magazine's "Best of the (brave, new) Bay Area."  Here's what they had to say about OakCLT:

2010logo #10  Getting something good out of the foreclosure crisis

Several core Oakland neighborhoods were among the nation's hardest hit by mortgage defaults, but the Oakland Community Land Trust has come up with an out-of-the-box, sure-to-be mimicked plan to help. Last year, the nonprofit wrangled $5 million in HUD money to purchase 130 foreclosed homes, rehab them in a green way, and sell them at affordable prices to low income families. The new homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are similar to what they had been paying in rent, and maintenance workshops-plus ongoing access to tools-help them keep their homes in fine working order, which is good for everyone on the block.
