How to Apply for City of Lakes Community Land Trust Homeownership
Step 1: Contact CLCLT to attend a buyer orientation. Buyers complete homebuyer education, financial readiness counseling, and a CLCLT-specific orientation before being placed on the buyer list. CLCLT homes are then offered as they become available.
Notes
CLCLT has placed 370+ households into permanently affordable homeownership in Minneapolis. Buyers should expect a longer process than market purchase due to inventory availability.
