Support a local community land trust

Many individuals living below the NPPS face housing insecurity due to housing shortages, unaffordable rental costs, and gentrification. Community land trusts provide long-term security, quality affordable housing, and prevent displacement.

Donating your time or financial resources in support of local community land trusts ensures greater housing security for those living near or below the NPPS.

To get started:

  1. Research land trusts in your community.

  2. Determine how you can best support local efforts.

  3. Start your own land trust if necessary by using resources such as Grounded Solutions Network's StartUp Community Land Trust Hub. Ensure you have donations and volunteers to begin maintenance/construction on a property before it can be sold.
