Organization Summary: TapRoot Community Land Trust (CLT) is an affordable housing nonprofit organization serving Ulster County, NY. TapRoot CLT provides significant subsidies to lower the cost of homes so they are affordable to folks with modest incomes. The homes are owned by individuals or families, and the land underneath the homes is owned by the land trust. Each home placed into the trust is sold at an affordable rate, permanently removed from the speculative market and designated to remain affordable for all future residents. The homeowner benefits from the below-market price and the community benefits because they know the homes will remain affordable, preventing gentrification and displacement of valued community members now and in the future.
