So, what is a #communitylandtrust anyway? Ordinary people are creating new futures for themselves, brick by brick.
CLTs are changing the county - so get stuck in. #communityledhousing

Huge congratulations to all the team at Ymddiriedolaeth Tir Bro’r Eifl, who have now officially constituted as a Community Land Trust.

Thanks @NationwideFdtn for sharing our review!
CLTs can contribute more to national affordable housing goals - but to do it we need more funds like the CHF.
Join us and ask your MP to re-open the CHF and implement other policy reforms. Templates here: bit.ly/CLT-Lobby-24

Thanks @JessBrownFuller for highlighting, in a debate on social housing, Westbourne CLT, on site and in the mix to be completing the 2,000th affordable @CommLandTrusts home! I recently met with @mtpennycook to discuss how this could be hugely scaled up.
