Partnering with BACLT to create affordable housing for displaced South Berkeley residents was the best decision the Church ever made.

Many churches understand their community's needs, but few have the resources to do a project like this. BACLT provided the financial package of private and public funds, grants, and subsidies to make this sustainable for the Church and residents.

We couldn't have made a better choice.”

FORM A HOUSING GROUP

Interested in forming a co-op? Which are you?

All of us, tenants and homeowners together, make the Bay Area a desirable place to live. When the land and housing is owned by landlords, they charge high rents because this is a desirable place. When land and housing is owned by a land trust, it is used to benefit the whole community, not for private profit. When you become a member of a land trust you become part of the movement to return socially created wealth back to the community."

Whether you're a community or faith-based organization or an individual, BACLT offers many flavors of partnership — from customized affiliations, to immersive trainings, to solutions unimagined!
