Creating and Preserving Affordable Homes in Atlanta
Atlanta Land Trust was created to maintain affordability in neighborhoods at risk of gentrification and displacement, due in part to the rapid growth and development near the Atlanta Beltline. We focus primarily on areas of the city directly impacted by the project, working to ensure that residents can access—and remain in—stable, affordable housing.

FAQs About What We Do
What is a Community Land Trust, and how does it work?
A Community Land Trust, or CLT, is a way to help people buy homes at prices they can afford. The trust owns the land, and the homeowner owns the house on it. This keeps the cost lower because the buyer doesn’t have to pay for the land. If the homeowner decides to sell, the CLT helps make sure the next buyer can also afford it. This helps keep homes affordable for many families over time.
The Trust Owns the Land – The CLT buys and holds land to keep it affordable.
Homeowners Buy the Home – Buyers purchase the house at a lower price but lease the land from the CLT.
Affordability Lasts – When selling, homeowners agree to a resale formula that keeps the home affordable for the next buyer.
Does ALT have homes for sale?

In addition to the Atlanta Beltline Planning Area, ALT may identify other community redevelopment areas prioritized by the City.
Does ALT provide technical assistance to start new community land trusts?
