A Self-management Approach to Housing Resource Type: Article Published: 2002 Community land trusts (CLTs) have been formed in a number of communities in the USA in response to either disinvestment or gentrification. The CLT acquires land to take it permanently off the market and make it available for the use of the community.

The CLT may rehab existing buildings, build new houses or apartment buildings, or do other types of development work.
