The Burlington Community Land Trust [BCLT] is a non-profit, member-based organization in Burlington, Vermont. Our mission is to ensure access to affordable homes and vital communities for all people through the democratic stewardship of land.



BCLT was the first municipally-funded community land trust and today is the largest community land trust in the U.S., with over 2,500 members. BCLT has become a national model of locally-controlled affordable housing and community revitalization.



BCLT provides a wide range of housing opportunities. BCLT properties include over 270 rental apartments and 370 shared-appreciation single family homes and condominiums. Through its land stewardship, BCLT ensures that these properties will remain affordable.
