Community Land Trust

The Maggie Walker Community Land Trust (MWCLT) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that develops and stewards permanently affordable homeownership opportunities to foster racially equitable communities. Our Community Land Trust model helps people attain homeownership goals while keeping their homes affordable for other families in the future.

Founded in 2016 by a coalition of affordable housing professionals and concerned citizens, our vision is that the communities of metropolitan Richmond will be inclusive, affordable, and healthy places to live. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, made up of partners, community members, and our very own homeowners. MWCLT serves in the City of Richmond and the Counties of Chesterfield and Henrico.
