Give today, together we have the power to changes lives

#GivingTuesday

Homeownership: Your gift helps to purchase and rehabilitate properties in Southeastern Connecticut and preserve homeownership for low-income families!

Without an affordable home, everything else in life is more difficult. When low-income people pay more than 30% of their income for housing they are forced to make hard choices about other basic necessities like food and healthcare. The Southeastern Connecticut Community Land Trust (CLT) holds land for the development and stewardship of permanently affordable housing. It’s about community engagement for community control to support the community, resulting in a balance between the needs of the community and individuals.

The CLT supports community access to affordable homeownership, advancing community development, and furthering neighborhood revitalization. We are well aware that this pandemic has thrown many into financial crisis, and there will be many requests for funds this GivingTuesday. We are asking you to help fund a permanent solution to a perennial problem, the lack of affordable housing.

We need to raise $30,000 from the community for the land, to be combined with other resources, to complete our second affordable house! Please give what you can. No gift is too big or small.

Also please pass this request on to others to let them know about our work and bring more community members into the land trust. Thank you.

Giving and Membership: Any donation of $25 or more qualifies you for an annual membership. Hopefully soon, COVID will recede and we can once again gather as a community, break bread, and work side by side on projects!

Join now and support community access to affordable homeownership, advancing community development, and furthering neighborhood revitalization.
