Grand Haven Area Community Land Trust
Affordable Home Ownership
Everyone deserves a place that they can call home.
Everyone deserves a place to call home, a place that you can afford. A CLT home is priced lower than the market price because the homeowner owns the home, but the property is owned by the trust.
The homeowner signs a long-term 99-year renewable lease for the property. In exchange for the opportunity to own and gain equity from a home, the homeowner agrees to financial restrictions when the home is sold.
Dream It.
A Community Land Trust, CLT, is typically for first-time homebuyers. A CLT is a type of shared equity home ownership program, which provides affordable homeownership opportunities.
CLT programs sell homes at prices below market rate. In exchange for your low price, you agree that, when it comes time to sell the home, you will sell at a below market rate price. This will ensure that the home stays affordable for subsequent income qualified buyers.
Finance It.
Can you afford to be a homeowner? Is CLT homeownership right for you?
