History and Purpose

The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission adopted a resolution in May of 2008, supporting the formation of the Thomas Jefferson Community Land Trust (TJCLT).

The TJCLT was formed as a non-profit 501(c)(3) Community Land Trust with the purpose of "stewarding and controlling the use of land on behalf of local communities and protecting the affordability of housing and other buildings located on this land."[1]

The maximum household income that would qualify for housing on CLT-owned land would be 120% of the AMI, with a goal of 75% of the homes on CLT owned land to go to households with incomes below 80% of AMI.
