While all OakCLT homes will have undergone substantive rehabilitation and energy efficiency retrofitting prior to being sold, new land trust homeowners will be offered a range of unique home maintenance-related benefits to help maintain their homes over the long term. In addition to homebuyer education classes offered prior to purchase, the OakCLT is planning to host an ongoing series of workshops on basic home maintenance and repair. Land trust homes will be valuable assets to their owners. Accordingly, we want to ensure that all OakCLT homeowners have the tools and preparation to look after their homes.

The OakCLT is planning on establishing a Tool Lending Library accessible to all land trust homeowners. Home maintenance and landscaping tools, for example, can be quite expensive, or are only needed on rare occassions. The OakCLT Tool Lending Library will give homeowners access to a wide range of tools to assist with general home maintenance, yard work, and other projects.
