Community Health  \nPh.D. Candidate Experimental Psychology University of Ottawa  \nWith thanks to BC Housing for their generous support for this initiative  \nThis is a summary of the workshop session ‘Perpetual Affordability and Community Control of the Land: Community Land Trusts in Canada’, which took place in Ottawa, on 26 April 2018 atthe Canadian Housing and Renewal Association’s annual Housing and Homelessness Congress.  \nThroughout Canada the Community Land Trust movement is picking up speed. Community Land Trusts use a model that proposes an approach to land that ensures perpetual affordability and community control of the land. The model aims to align with the existing needs and characteristics of the communities in which it is used, and offers the opportunity to protect commercial properties, community gardens, co-ops, and single and multi-family homes from the speculative real estate market. This session provided an overview of emerging initiatives in Canada that bring into focus the collective vision for community land stewardship.  \nPanelists  \nJoshua Barndt, Executive Director, Parkdale Neighbourhood Land Trust (ON)  \nMarie-Sophie Banville, Community Development, Vivacité -Société Immobilière Solidaire (QC) Stephanie Allen, Hogan’s Alley Trust & Vice President Project Planning & Partnerships, Catalyst Community Developments Society (BC)  \nModerated by Lilian Chau, Community Investment Portfolio Manager, Vancity (BC)  \nIntroducing Community Land Trusts in Canada and the Parkdale Model  \nWhat is a Community Land Trust?  \nA Community Land Trust (CLT) is a non-profit corporation that obtains and holds land and housing for the benefit of the community in which it exists. With the shared value of housing asa right, the goal is to remove land and housing from the real estate market through either purchase or donation, and perpetually hold it in a trust to preserve the affordability of that land and housing asset.  \nA key feature that allows CLTs to maintain affordability is dual-ownership, the separation of land ownership (owned by the CLT) from ownership of the housing or buildings on the land itself, which is leased out to individuals or non-profit organizations over a long-term period. As Figure 1 illustrates, CLTs are designed to be membership-based organizations that are legally governed by an elected board of directors, often made up of lease holders and renters, community members, public servants, and non-profit organizations.  \nFigure 1: standard Community Land Trust governance structure  \nCLTs aim for flexible development and can take on a variety of activities, including supporting agriculture, residential housing, co-op housing, as well as home ownership. There are three predominant types of CLTs: community-based, sector-based, and publicly-based.  \nCommunity-based CLTs were first established in Albany, Georgia in 1969 and have their origins firmly based in the grass-roots civil rights movement of black Americans. With the belief that all power comes from land, the initial goal was to create new land tenure to secure greater economic and political independence for African-American farmers by establishing a community lease controlled by a non-profit organisation. The community-based CLT model isan innovative platform for community land ownership and preserving affordable housing. Additionally, it allows for equitable development without displacement, with the philosophy that community wealth should stay with the community and its current residents, as it revitalizes, develops, and as land values rise.  \nSector-based CLTs are more common historically in Canada, with the first established in the 1970s as a means to preserve the affordabi","cbCaigVPqMqy2srF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigVPqMqy2srF","pdf",5777496,"English","# Introducing Community Land Trusts in Canada and the Parkdale Model\n## What is a Community Land Trust?\n## Types of Community Land Trusts\n## The Parkdale Neighborhood Land Trust\n## Panelists","[{\"question\":\"How do community land trusts ensure perpetual affordability?\",\"answer\":\"They preserve affordability by separating land ownership (held by the CLT) from ownership of housing/buildings, which are leased long-term.
