Forever Affordable.
Forever Ontario.
Ontario’s community land trust working to steward land for affordable housing, social enterprise, food security, and community benefit — permanently.
Communities succeed when people lead.
We work to remove land from speculative markets and protect it for affordable housing, nonprofit spaces, social enterprise, and shared community use — ensuring long-term stability for generations to come. Through strategic partnerships, community governance, and sustainable land stewardship, OCLT is building a province-wide model that keeps land accessible, inclusive, and rooted in community purpose. Land for people. Community for generations.
What is a Community Land Trust?
A community land trust (CLT) is a nonprofit model that acquires and holds land to ensure community access to housing, gathering spaces, local services, and social enterprise sites — keeping affordability and community benefit at the core.
What We Are
