Urban Land Trusts

Urban Land Trusts are nonprofit organizations that acquire, preserve, and manage land within cities to benefit communities. They secure land for affordable housing, parks, community gardens, and local businesses, ensuring these spaces remain available for public and community use over time. By holding land in trust, they prevent it from being developed for private profit, promoting sustainable and equitable urban growth. This approach helps stabilize neighborhoods, enhance access to green space, and support community needs, fostering resilient and inclusive urban environments.
