How to Start a "Seller-Leveraged" Program for Affordable Housing & Community Land Trusts

Create affordable housing without government subsidies. Learn how your CLT or housing nonprofit can acquire properties below market rate by building relationships with homeowners who want to protect their neighborhood from gentrification, help address the housing crisis by selling their home for a discount while getting a tax benefit. In this peer-learning session in partnership with the Right to the City Alliance, Indianapolis Community Land Trust (indyclt.org) leaders and members share their full "Seller-Leveraged Program" toolkit. We cover the legal framework, the 8-step acquisition timeline, and how to handle the IRS reporting (Form 8283) that makes these deals a "win-win" for sellers and community land trusts.
