Community Land Trusts are not only affordable housing options but the outgrowth of housing activism.  We are building pathways to permanently affordable housing outside the private profit-driven housing market, while building collective power through community organizing.

 The Cambridge Community Land Trust recently received an anonymous donation from an individual in recognition of neighborhood and activist housing justice work. This donation comes on top of another significant grant from the Cambridge Community Foundation. And alongside these financial resources, we’ve recently had significant encouragement from the City. These are powerful signals that what CCLT is doing matters. And they need to be celebrated!

Come to the gathering on July 12 (where we will honor other community housing activists) to hear more about our progress and our vision for more collective community organizing. 

 We will honor and hear remarks from our fellows:

• Eric Boyd, Boston Neighborhood CLT, one of the residents who organized to win 6 Humphreys Place in Dorchester, later purchased by BNCLT

• Lydia Lowe, Executive Director of the Chinatown CLT, and a longtime Cambridge resident and activist

Light refreshments will be served.

We are hoping to make a match with $5000 already promised from sponsors for July 12 in advance of the gathering. 

 Would you like to donate in honor of another housing/justice Cambridge supporter?

Would you like to be listed as a sponsor?
