I’m looking to speak with a range of perspectives to better understand how this model works in practice, its challenges, and its future. I’d love to hear from: Experts, researchers, or policymakers who study CLTs, shared equity housing, or housing affordability CLT staff, founders, or board members involved in development, governance, or community engagement Residents, homeowners, or tenants living in CLT properties Funders, investors, philanthropic organizations, or public sector leaders supporting CLTs Housing advocates, organizers, or community groups involved in starting or partnering with CLTs Key topics include: How CLTs work on the ground (ownership structure, governance, ground leases, resale restrictions) Real-world impact on affordability, wealth-building, and displacement prevention Success stories and measurable outcomes Challenges such as funding, scaling, policy barriers, and public understanding Funding models (government grants, philanthropy, banks, partnerships) Equity and racial justice dimensions Partnerships with cities, land banks, or developers The future of CLTs in addressing the U.S. housing crisis
