Community Land Trust & Housing Land Bank

Community Land Trust Session

Cape Cod needs bold and swift action to address the housing crisis. The Regional Housing Strategy, completed in May 2024, provides recommendations for addressing the housing supply, affordability, and availability challenges facing the region.

One of the key regional recommendations is establishing a housing land bank and a community land trust. These two potential new nonprofit entities would facilitate swifter acquisition, stewardship, development, and redevelopment of properties to advance attainable and affordable housing. To support implementation of this recommendation, the Cape Cod Commission is working with a consulting team to develop a framework for possible establishment of a community land trust and housing land bank.

Join us at this in-depth session on community land trusts to learn more about what they are, how they have been successful in addressing housing challenges across the country, their possible structures and funding sources, and potential establishment on the Cape. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback on how a community land trust may best serve Cape Cod.
