How does it work? 

These homes are permanently affordable through the Community Land Trust model, stewarded by the Atlanta Land Trust. A Community Land Trust (CLT) is a community-based nonprofit organization that utilizes public and private funds to provide affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households within a specific geographic area. By creating homes that remain permanently affordable, CLTs provide successful homeownership opportunities for generations of lower income families and are an effective strategy to reduce displacement of legacy residents. 

How do I qualify? 

These homes are reserved for households earning less than 80% of the Area Median Income, which is about $91,000 for a family of four.  Specific income limits for various household sizes can be found here: https://atlantalandtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024-Invest-Atlanta-HUD-Income-Limits-and-Rents.pdf 

Buyers must qualify for a mortgage with one of our approved lenders, who also work with Down Payment Assistance providers.

How can I start getting the process started? 

The first step to ALT homeownership is attending a Community Information Session (held the 2nd Saturday of each month). Once you have attended, you will receive a program application.
