Keep homes permanently affordable with a Community Land Trust

Separate the land from the home so prices stay fair

Community Land Trust Brussels builds permanently affordable owner-occupied housing: residents buy the home, the trust keeps the land, and resale formulas stop speculation from pricing out the next family.

What you can do

How it works

CLTB acquires land, develops homes with resident input, and attaches a ground lease that caps resale gains. Low-income households gain stability without feeding a rising market.

Why it matters

When land stays in community hands, affordability survives gentrification. Residents build skills in self-management that outlast any single sale.
