SUMMARY:Inclusionary Housing and the Role of CLTs: Cross-Regional Perspectives on Land Policy and Long-Term Affordability
DESCRIPTION:Recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\nSlides from Jean-Marie Halleux\n\n\n\nSlides from Rick Jacobus\n\n\n\nSlides from Dev Goetschius\n\n\n\nSlides from Jean-Baptiste Debrandt\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Description\n\n\n\nAs cities around the world face deepening housing affordability crises\, inclusionary housing policies are increasingly used to expand access to affordable homes. Yet key questions remain: how are these homes stewarded over time\, and how can affordability be protected beyond initial regulatory periods? \n\n\n\nThis international webinar co-hosted by the European CLT Network and the International Center for CLTs explores how inclusionary housing (or inclusionary zoning) policies can be paired with CLTs to secure lasting affordability\, strengthen long-term stewardship\, promote social cohesion\, and expand access to stable\, community-controlled housing. Inclusionary housing policies take many forms—some require developers to include a percentage of affordable homes in new projects\, while others offer incentives such as density bonuses or fee reductions to encourage voluntary participation.  \n\n\n\nDrawing on experiences from both the United States and Europe\, the session examines how CLTs can serve as long-term stewards of homes created through inclusionary housing programs—and why this partnership is critical for preserving affordability across generations. Speakers discuss key challenges and opportunities\, including administrative complexity\, lessons learned from US inclusionary zoning practice\, and the potential for adapting these tools within European policy frameworks. \n\n\n\nModerated by Eduard Cabré (Spain)\, speakers include: \n\n\n\n\nDev Goetschius\, Housing Land Trust of the North Bay\, Executive Director (USA)\n\n\n\nJean-Baptiste Debrandt\, City of Lille\, Head of the Housing Department (France)\n\n\n\nJean-Marie Halleux\, University of Liège (Belgium)\n\n\n\nRick Jacobus\, Street Level Advisors\, Principal (USA)\n\n\n\n\nDesigned for CLT practitioners\, policymakers\, housing advocates\, and municipal officials\, participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how inclusionary housing policies work\, what makes them effective\, and how CLTs can partner with public authorities to steward units\, embed equity\, and ensure long-term community benefit. The webinar will be conducted in English\, with French and Spanish subtitles added to the recording when it is published on YouTube. \n\n\n\nSupport this work\n\n\n\nThe CLT Center convenes practitioners\, researchers\, and communities from different regions to share experiences and strengthen the CLT movement globally.

SUMMARY:CLTs as a Step Towards Decolonizing Our Relationships to Land
DESCRIPTION:Recordings\n\n\n\n\n\nEnglish Recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrabación en español\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Resources\n\n\n\n\nSlideshow presentation from Autumn Ness\, Lahaina CLT\n\n\n\nSlideshow presentation from Norm Leech\, Downtown Eastside CLT\n\n\n\nSlideshow presentation from Corrina Gould\, Sogorea Te’ Land Trust\n\n\n\nENGLISH Transcript\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Description\n\n\n\nFor thousands of years before the invasion and colonization of the Americas\, the Caribbean\, and the Pacific Islands\, Indigenous peoples across these regions lived in deep relationships with the land\, understanding it as sacred and shared. The imposition of private ownership\, capitalism\, and extractivism over the past five centuries has profoundly disrupted that relationship\, disconnecting communities from the land and environment. \n\n\n\nThis webinar brought together representatives of Indigenous-led CLTs in the US and Canada to share how CLTs can serve as a step towards decolonizing our collective relationship to land\, returning sacred land to Indigenous stewardship and resisting disaster capitalism. \n\n\n\nSpeakers and Panelists\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAutumn Ness\, Executive Director\, Lahaina CLT (Hawai’i\, US) \n\n\n\nAUTUMN NESS serves as LCLT’s Executive Director\, accountable to the past and future generations of Lahaina\, nurturing the long-term vision of a community-owned land base that redefines homeownership and economic systems outside of extractive capitalism and more in accordance with ‘ike Hawai’i (the values and wisdom of this place). She has intimate experience with post-disaster displacement\, and its permanent effects on environment and culture\, after being displaced after the Japan tsunami and nuclear meltdown. As a settler on Maui since then\, she has worked on land\, water and agriculture justice issues from a systems change lens\, working arm in arm with community to take those systems back in ways that build local power and collective well being. She previously served as Senior Affordable Housing Policy Advisor for Council Member Johnson\, chair of Affordable Housing. They worked with Maui County Council to implement a progressive package of affordable housing bills that include the strongest anti-displacement policies in Hawaiʻi\, and increased funding mechanisms for infrastructure and affordable housing. She is also the founder of the Maui Food Hub\, a response to COVID that has now become vital and permanent farm-to-consumer infrastructure. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCorrina Gould\, Co-Director\, Sogorea Te’ Land Trust (California\, US) \n\n\n\nCORRINA GOULD (Tribal Chair for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation) was born and raised in the village of Huichin\, now known as Oakland\, CA. She is the Co-Founder and Lead Organizer for Indian People Organizing for Change\, a small Native run organization and the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust\, an urban Indigenous women-led organization within her ancestral territory. Through the practices of rematriation\, cultural revitalization\, and land restoration\, the Land Trust calls on Native and non-Native peoples to heal and transform legacies of colonization\, genocide\, and to do the work our ancestors and future generations are calling us to do.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNorm Leech\, President\, Downtown Eastside CLT (Vancouver\, Canada) \n\n\n\nNORM LEECH is the President of the Downtown Eastside CLT (DTES CLT). DTES CLT is moving toward a more Indigenous relationship with land that is sustainable\, responsible\, and healing. This can help preserve affordable housing by sheltering property from the global market that is increasing housing costs around the globe. \n\n\n\nNorm speaks widely on inter-generational trauma due to colonization. He grew up in East Vancouver\, with ancestry in the T’it’q’et community of the St’at’imc nation where he has served as Chief and also Administrator. He draws on his experiences as a recovering alcoholic/ addict\, inter-generational survivor\, and spiritual explorer to inform his current work which includes several boards and committees.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmber Khan\, Postdoctoral Scholar\, University of Washington \n\n\n\nAMBER KHAN\, PhD\, MPH is an applied interdisciplinary disaster scholar focused on community-led solutions to the climate crisis\, centering on community-led land use and policy\, affordable housing\, and preventing displacement and gentrification. In her current role as a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington\, she leads an international study with the International Center for CLTs on the application of CLTs in building climate and disaster resilience. In her role as a participatory action research fellow at the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC)\, she designs and conducts research on climate displacement\, migration\, and resettlement with Indigenous-led organizations.

By linking sustainability in the built environment to the creation of permanently affordable housing\, CLTs can simultaneously respond to the housing and climate crisis in ways that ensure justice and equity. \n\n\n\nThis 75 minute webinar will highlight innovative CLT approaches to deliver just and equitable solutions that respond to these challenges by featuring two exemplary CLT initiatives from Europe and the United States: The Upcycling Trust\, a partnership between five European CLTs and local municipal authorities in France; and the Sustained Legacy Project from City of Lakes CLT in the city of Minneapolis\, MN. The Upcycling Trust partnership works at delivering sustainable housing renovations while bringing existing housing into community ownership. The Sustained Legacy Project from City of Lakes CLT uses the CLT as a way to assist low-income elderly homeowners facing significant housing rehabilitation challenges while deeding the land to the CLT. Our presenters will provide overviews of their respective projects\, while addressing the specific challenges they face and the strategies they employ to overcome these obstacles\, providing valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers alike. After the presentations\, there will also be a short Q&A to give you the opportunity to ask questions to our panelists. \n\n\n\nPresenters\n\n\n\nJeanne Mosseray\, Post-Doctoral Researcher\, Cosmopolis Centre for Urban Research\, Vrije Universiteit Brussel\n\n\n\nJeanne was trained as an anthropologist and pursued studies in Urbanism and Strategic Planning.
