Partnership In Property Commercial Land Trust

PIPCLT works to explicitly address racial, gender and economic disparities in our community. Commercial land trusts (CLTs) define land as being community owned because the last is entirely owned and managed by a community -based membership. PIPCLT believes that truly participatory community engagement involves shared learning and that decision making builds trust community will be engaged throughout the development process from property selection to business selection. Displace of community-owned businesses has a psychological impact on residents. We will use our resources to preserve and create affordable commercial spaces indefinitely. CLTs uses long-term community ownership of land through a 99-year ground lease agreement, which has demonstrated effectiveness in combating displacement of occupants. In 2022, the organization acquired its second property in March 2022.
