Founded in 2010, Community Progress is the leading national, nonprofit resource for urban, suburban, and rural communities seeking to address the full cycle of property revitalization. The organization fulfillsits mission by nurturing strong leadership and supporting systemic reforms. Community Progress works to ensure that public, private, and community leaders have the knowledge and capacity to create and sustain change. It also works to ensure that all communities have the policies, tools, and resources they need to support the effective, equitable reuse of vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties.  \nDesign [by BLANK / blankblank.com](by BLANK / blankblank.com)  \nINTRODUCTION  \nLeveraging the unique powers of a land bank to acquire, stabilize, and transfer VAD properties to a CLT to create longterm community benefit exemplifies the different yet complementary missions of these two entities and how they can be used to support a more resilient and equitable recovery in neighborhoods across America.  \nCOMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE, continue to struggle with inventories of properties that are causing harm—properties that are vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated (VAD) .1 Many of these properties are underwater in value, meaning the amount of delinquent taxes, public liens, and repair costs exceed the property’s worth. Often these properties are concentrated in communities located in historically redlined neighborhoods that reflect an intentional history of racist policies resulting in denied homeownership for many Black families—a loss of wealth that has compounded across several generations.2  \nThese same communities—whether urban, suburban, or rural—also need quality, affordable housing. But, rehabilitating existing structures or building new construction to create affordable housing is an arduous task. Moreover, taking on the added time, capacity, and cost required to acquire and get a marketable and insurable title to these VAD properties can make affordable housing development challenging, if not impractical. Thus, while this nation continues to suffer from a severe shortage of quality, affordable housing, more disparities are increasingly present in housing options in Black co","cbCaidSx88tchTHo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidSx88tchTHo","pdf",11612296,26,"English","# Introduction\n## Evolution of Land Banks and Community Land Trusts\n## Overview of Land Bank and Community Land Trust Partnerships\n## Albany County Land Bank and Albany Community Land Trust in New York\n## Metro Atlanta Land Bank and Atlanta Land Trust in Georgia\n## Central Ohio Community Improvement Corporation-Franklin County Land Bank and Central Ohio Community Land Trust in Ohio\n## Key Considerations Moving Forward and a Call to Action\n## Endnotes","[{\"question\":\"Why do land banks and CLTs matter for housing equity?\",\"answer\":\"They can work together to stabilize and transfer vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated (VAD) properties, channeling land into long-term, affordable housing with community ownership and control.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenges make affordable housing development difficult on VAD properties?\",\"answer\":\"VAD properties often carry underwater value due to delinquent taxes, public liens, and repair costs, and acquiring a marketable, insurable title can require time, capacity, and cost that strain development efforts.\"},{\"question\":\"How might COVID-19 and the post-recession environment affect VAD inventories?\",\"answer\":\"COVID-19 has intensified racial disparities, and neighborhoods anticipate increased VAD inventories driven by evictions and mortgage and tax foreclosures.
