Conversations about how to fix Canada's housing crisis often focus on one idea: the accelerated building of more affordable units. But, in the absence of a coordinated response to housing shortages and rising rents, communities 鈥� big and small 鈥� are taking matters into their own hands. Local organizers have created Community Land Trusts (CLTs), non-profits that buy up land within a given neighbourhood and keep it affordable and accessible for everyone in the community - indefinitely. This model gives stability to longtime renters, especially in areas facing the threat of displacement, gentrification and 鈥渞enoviction.鈥� For The New Reality, Krista Hessey introduces us to the people leading the charge on CLTs in Canada 鈥� both inside and outside of big cities.
