Operation HOME: Portland Community Land Trust

Since 1999, Portland Community Land Trust has provided affordable homeownership opportunities for low and moderate-income first-time homebuyers.

Working with community partners, lenders, builders and others, PCLT prepares families and individuals for homeownership; helps them purchase existing homes; builds new affordable homes; offers homeowners tools to be successful; and manages transactions to keep homes affordable for future income-qualified, first-time homebuyers.

Homeowners gain equity and stability, and Portland gains homes that will be affordable for generations to come.

PCLT is a member organization of Operation HOME, whose goal is to close the minority home ownership gap in Portland by June 2015. For more information about Operation H.O.M.E., please visit http://www.operationhome.net/.

Thanks for this, I want to create a land trust for sustainable communities. Earthbag architecture with renewable energy will work just fine.
