Protecting Tenants and Preserving Housing Affordability: Case studies from community land trusts

Community land trusts play a vital role in protecting low-income tenants and preserving housing affordability. One of the ways land trusts have been able to do this critical work is by acquiring existing rental properties from the private market. Join this session, brought to you in partnership with the Canadian Network of Community Land Trusts, to hear our panel of speakers from community land trusts discuss their successes with property acquisition, obstacles they’ve faced, and how a federal property acquisition program would help the community housing sector protect tenants and preserve housing affordability.
