Homestead Community Land Trust is a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington, that develops land and housing to create permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for lower-income households. By acquiring and developing property into housing held in trust, it aims to reduce housing costs to levels affordable for modest-income families and to preserve affordability for future buyers, thereby promoting equitable access to opportunity and community stability. The organization emphasizes preserving neighborhoods, repairing housing-discrimination harms, and protecting vulnerable communities from displacement, while supporting wealth creation through ownership. Operating within the community land trust model popularized in the Civil Rights era, Homestead builds new homes, reduces prices through fundraising, and maintains long-term affordability via agreements with homeowners and post-purchase support. The group works with partners and collaborators on projects that integrate affordable homes with community-enhancing features and design, including recent collaborations in planning, design, and site development for projects in the Seattle area.
