Headwaters Community Trust
ALBANY + CRAFTSBURY + GLOVER + GREENSBORO, VERMONT
Headwaters’ Mission
To care for our neighbors and strengthen our communities by creating permanently affordable homes and access to community-owned land.
Our service area encompasses the headwaters region of the Black, Barton, and Lamoille Rivers (Albany, Craftsbury, Greensboro, and Glover, VT).
Community Land Trust Model
A community land trust (CLT) is a nonprofit organization that holds land on behalf of a community, serving as a long-term steward for affordable housing and other community assets.
Flexible Housing
CLTs support a range of housing models: ownership, rentals, coops, and shared housing.
Lasting Affordability
A resale formula enables homeowners
to build equity while keeping homes affordable for all future residents.
Community Ownership
By holding the land in trust, the community guides development to benefit current and future tenants.
Membership
Community land trusts (CLTs) are membership organizations, which helps keep them accountable to the communities they serve.
Anyone who lives, works, volunteers or studies in Headwaters’ service area is welcome to join!
