Community Development Trust

A Community Development Trust is a specialized organization that invests in and manages properties to help improve neighborhoods. Its goal is to create affordable housing, support local businesses, and promote economic growth within communities often underserved or facing challenges. By focusing on sustainable development, these trusts ensure that investments benefit residents long-term, fostering stable, vibrant, and equitable communities. They often work with local stakeholders to identify needs and develop strategies that enhance the quality of life for residents, making neighborhoods more attractive and resilient over time.
