Permanently Affordable & Sustainable Homeownership, Rentals, and Commercial Opportunities in St. Paul
Your path to real estate ownership starts with us
Homeownership
Homeownership in a land trust is an affordable and sustainable option that reduces the cost of homeownership and preserves property affordability for future generations. The land is owned by Rondo Community Land Trust, while the homebuyer owns the house and any improvements made. This investment ensures long-term community health, stability, and accountability among stakeholders.
Business + Retail
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 ensures that commercial properties remain accessible and affordable for small businesses over the long term. This is helpful in combating rapid gentrification and rent increases.
Events in Rondo
Join us for events that celebrate community successes and provide educational opportunities. Our block parties, potlucks, homeownership orientations, and community meetings foster a sense of unity and build social capital. Through our gatherings, we aim to educate residents about our land trust model, its benefits, and how to get involved in our collaborative work.
Empower your journey to homeownership with our reparative programming
Right to Return to Rondo Initiative
The Right to Return to Rondo Initiative is designed to create homeownership opportunities for those displaced by the construction of I-94 or their descendants to repair the economic, social, and cultural harm caused by the destruction of 700+ homes and 300+ businesses in the historic Rondo Neighborhood.
Homebuyer Initiated Program (HIP)
The Homebuyer Initiated Program (HIP) is a homeownership program through which Rondo CLT assists households at or below 80% Area Median Income (AMI) purchase and fix up a single-family home (including duplexes) of their choice in St. Paul or Suburban Ramsey County.
The Inheritance Fund
A cornerstone initiative of Mayor Melvin Carter, the Inheritance Fund is an innovative and people-centered program that affords low-income families from Saint Paul’s historic Rondo Neighborhood the opportunity to rebuild wealth through homeownership.
