An infographic that explains why Community Land Trusts are an answer to our current housing story/crisis. At the top are illustrations are of three houses with the title text 'Current housing story' Below the houses are the following text: House 1: Investors buy up properties and prices increase. House 2: Each time a property is sold the profits leave the community House 3: People are displaced when they can no longer afford to buy or rent. Below that graphic is another three houses with a third space of an empty lot. The title is 'Community Land Trust story'. Under each house and empty lot of land is the following text: House 1: Resident owns the house. The CLT owns the land. House 2: The resale formula keeps a cap on prices, keeping housing affordable over time. House 3: Deposits and mortgage repayments are reduced by around 60%. Empty lot of land: As the community kitty grows, funds are used to build more affordable housing.
