Learn the History of Community Land Trusts (CLT) and how we are trying to start one in the San Gabriel Valley

Come learn the history of community  land trusts (CLTs) and how we are trying to start one in the San Gabriel Valley at our next monthly GPAHG meeting  on Tues, March 24, 7-9 pm at the Orange Grove Quaker Meetinghouse, 520 E Orange Grove Bld, Pasadena.

We'll see "Arc of Justice: The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of a Beloved Community," an inspiring and moving documentary about the first community land trust founded in Albany, GA, in the aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement. John Lewis calls CLTs "a courageous and brilliant idea to bring people together in a new way of thinking." Land is owned by the trust, while homes are purchased by individuals, who agree to keep them permanently affordable. This movement is thriving, with over 250 CLTs in the US, and GPAHG is exploring how to start a CLT in the San Gabriel Valley. For more info, contact Jill Shook at makinghousinghappen.com.

Presenters: Anthony Manousos, Connie Milsap, Chair of CLT Subcommittee, and Jill Shook, Executive Director of Making Housing and Community Happen.

The Greater Pasadena Affordable Housing Group (GPAHG) meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month,  7-9 pm  with educational presentations and reports from our subcommittees: ADUs, safe parking, inclusionary update, permanent supportive housing, and using church land.
