About us

Beverly-Vermont Community Land Trust’s mission is to build community power to keep working class communities of color in their homes and neighborhoods through permanent affordability and democratic community ownership in Koreatown and the surrounding transit-oriented neighborhoods in Los Angeles by:
  •  Advocating for the decommodification of land and removing land permanently from the speculative housing market. 
  • Creating just, equitable and ecological housing developments and alternative community ownership models.
  • Serving as an incubator for member-led programs and campaigns through centering the leadership of those most impacted by gentrification, displacement, and racist, extractive housing policies

​Unlike other affordable housing organizations, BVCLT will ensure that the housing it builds or rehabilitates will remain accessibly priced beyond the first homeowners. This will be accomplished by using the community land trust (CLT) model through which BVCLT will retain the rights to the land upon which the home stands. When a homeowner wishes to sell the house, BVCLT will ensure the selling price is affordable, regardless of current market prices.
