    Overview

    • • The administration would work with the City Council to pass the Community Land Act, which would prioritize Community Land Trusts when city-owned land is sold.

    • • Community Land Trusts are nonprofit organizations that own land to keep housing affordable and under community control.

    • • The proposed legislation would expand the number of properties available to Community Land Trusts, building on the more than 20 CLTs that already operate across New York City.
