Lawyers have been essential to this growth — assisting with incorporation\, fine-tuning ground leases\, negotiating with lenders and public funders\, and contributing to the CLT literature alongside planners\, architects\, community organizers\, and housing practitioners. \n\n\n\nA Community Land Trust Digest brings together a selection of these previously published articles — appearing in print between 1982 and 2023 — for the first time in a single volume. Tracing the CLT model’s roots in the US Civil Rights Movement through its modern applications\, the book features contributions from scholars and practitioners at Columbia\, Yale\, Notre Dame\, UT Austin\, UC Irvine\, Vermont Law\, NYU\, Boston College\, the University of Puerto Rico\, and more. \n\n\n\nCo-edited by Kristin King-Ries\, Eliza Platts-Mills\, and John Emeus Davis\, the Digest is aimed at readers being introduced to CLTs for the first time as well as experienced practitioners looking to go deeper. \n\n\n\nPurchase the eBook using discount code ICCLT30 for 30% off.
