Membership in CCLT
CCLT is a member-based organization made up of people who
want to make homeownership a reality for more of their neighbors in Clackamas
County. Our members are the foundation of our organization, and through
the democratic process help determine our focus.
By becoming a member, you help support CCLT's mission to
provide affordable homeownership opportunities for low and moderate income
people in Clackamas County now and for generations to come. The land trust
ensures that homes remain affordable by retaining ownership of the land,
and leasing it to the homeowner.
Financial support from members enables us to reach more
people who may qualify for our homes. Your dollars help us advocate for
affordable housing in Clackamas County, so that homeownership remains
an option for people of low and moderate income. Member support helps
fund our outreach, information sessions and coordination of the homeowner
education workshops. It also helps cover operating costs and staff salaries.
In addition, CCLT pursues grants and other sources of funding.
CCLT members also give of their time and resources through
in-kind donations such as supplies for a tree planting or help with newsletter
mailings. Each member contribution, whether financial or in-kind, helps
establish CCLT's presence - and mission - in the community.
Member Incentive Program Offers Prizes
for Referrals
A new incentive program has been implemented by CCLT for members only.
Here’s how it works: Members who refer potential homeowners to an
information session will be rewarded with such goodies as free tickets
to the Japanese Garden, Pittock Mansion, Bullwinkle’s Family Fun
Center, and the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center.
In order to claim your prize, the person or persons you
refer must attend one of CCLT’s free information sessions and let
us know you referred them.
Please have the person you are referring call Loretta Walker,
Homeowner Coordinator, to express their interest in attending a session
(503-654-1007). Loretta will provide them with the date, time and location
of upcoming sessions. Attending an information session is the first step
to becoming a homeowner through CCLT.
Join us today and help create new homeowners in Clackamas
County!
