Community land trusts (CLTs) are a developing trend in community land ownership and stewardship. As American cities continue to grow, gentrification, densification, and displacement are issues that threaten many existing neighborhoods. Using the lens of the South Bronx Land and Resource Trust (SBxLCRT), we will examine the CLT's roots under the leadership of We Stay/Nos Quedamos Inc., a 25-year old community development corporation active in planning and development in Community Districts 1, 2, and 3 in the Bronx, New York City. This will explore the CLT's implications in the formation of municipal policy, environmental resilience, and community equity.
