Review Quotes: "This is a groundbreaking and insightful report. It will make a tremendous difference to practitioners, cities, and policymakers as CLTs are experiencing historic growth and expansion in an increasingly unaffordable housing market. This report powerfully demonstrates the range of tools local governments have to enable and sustain CLTs. The local government role is critical since communities can and do face formidable challenges in establishing CLTs in both high-cost land markets and historically disinvested neighborhoods. The report importantly captures other expanding dimensions of CLTs, including partnerships with local land banks, the incorporation of commercial uses, and their role in climate resilience for vulnerable communities."--Sheila R.
