Community land trusts take housing off the speculative market, making it harder for investors to drive up rents and property values. This means more stable, affordable homes for regular folks. Check out local examples of successful community land trusts in action.

Land trusts are like a co-op where the community owns the land, keeping housing prices down and homes affordable. Imagine if your landlord was you and your neighbors!

landtrusts communityownership affordablehousing

Community land trusts remove land from the speculative market by owning it collectively. This model stabilizes housing prices, prevents displacement, and ensures that homes are affordable for everyone, not just the wealthy. A win for class solidarity!

Land trusts taking housing off the speculative market means more homes for people, not just profit for landlords. #HousingJustice #CommunityOwnership

Promotional graphic for UCL Press blog titled “Diamond OA and the Future of Community-Owned Scholarship: Diamond OA as a Cultural Shift.” Red background with white text, UCL Press logo, a “Read Now” button, and a diamond-in-lock icon.

Power to the parish: can community ownership successfully scale up? The UK government has hopes of doubling the size of the co-operative sector, evolving the model beyond post offices and pubs to brownfield sites and storied estates

'Many of these new groups want their communities to own, manage and profit from enterprises far larger than the pubs and post offices once associated with community control. They want to take on the town.' > nice piece on the rise of #communityownership www.ft.com/content/a604....

This video explains how—and why the policy continues to matter today. Learn more: bit.ly/3NDrf4O
