Invest in Permanent Affordability by Supporting Dallas Community Land Trust

In Dallas, thousands of families are priced out of homeownership. The Dallas Community Land Trust (DCLT) offers a lasting solution: shared equity homeownership that builds wealth for families while keeping homes affordable for generations.

What Is Shared Equity?
DCLT owns the land and leases it to homeowners for 99 years. Homeowners own the house, build equity, and when they sell, they earn a return while the home stays affordable for the next buyer. It’s a partnership that protects public investment and creates lasting affordability.

Why It Matters
Homes remain affordable across generations

Families build wealth without being priced out

Neighborhoods stay rooted in community, not speculation

Your Impact

Your support helps DCLT:

  • Acquire land and develop affordable homes
  • Build infrastructure to manage long-term affordability
  • Scale a replicable model aligned with city goals and equity outcomes

Led by Executive Director Ossie C. Kendrix, DCLT is Dallas’s first community land trust, built on stewardship, equity, and permanence.

Working together, we can make Dallas a city where affordable housing isn’t temporary, it’s permanent.
