Find Your Path to Ownership
Commercial
Commercial ownership in a land trust is a powerful tool for promoting community economic development and preserving affordability for small businesses. By owning the land, Rondo CLT can ensure that commercial properties remain accessible and affordable for small businesses over the long term. This is helpful in combating rapid gentrification, where small businesses may otherwise struggle to afford increasing rents.
Housing
As a community land trust, Rondo CLT removes the financial, educational, and systemic barriers to homeownership that many families face. By providing permanently affordable rental and homeownership opportunities, as well as pre-purchased education and post-purchase support, Rondo CLT fosters equitable opportunities for families to build lasting stability and generational wealth.
