International Commentaries on Preserving Affordable Homeownership

This collection of six global commentaries reflects on the Preserving Affordable Homeownership Policy Focus Report published by the Lincoln Institute in partnership with the International Center for Community Land Trusts in 2024. Featuring perspectives from Australia, Canada, Brazil, Europe, France, and the United Kingdom, the commentaries describe experiences and evolving projects from each area and share insights on what those experiences and projects have in common with—and how they differ from—community land trusts (CLTs) in the United States. The collection reflects a growing international movement committed to reimagining ownership, affordability, and community resilience worldwide.
