Mission and Accomplishments

The mission of the Clackamas Community Land Trust is to provide permanently homeownership opportunities and related educational resources to people of moderate means.  Our vision is to provide permanently affordable homeownership opportunities, to assist and educate people of low and moderate income to become homeowners and to expand the inventory of permanently affordable, environmentally responsible homes. 

CCLT is committed to using our resources to promote a more sustainable world. Our commitment integrates methods and strategies that nurture and steward our natural capital, promote our community capital and make prudent use of our economic capital.

CCLT is the 2006 national winner of the Award of Excellence for Affordable Housing Built Responsibly, homeownership category, from the Home Depot Foundation.  This highly competitive award recognized the innovative and comprehensive green building approach that exemplifies CCLT’s commitment to sustainability.

Since our founding in 1999, we have created 29 homeownership opportunities in Milwaukie and Oregon City, Oregon. We are currently implementing a buyer initiated program targeting the area around the North Clackamas light rail. We are busy planning our next project, which we hope will be in Oregon City. Our goal is to produce at least 10 homeownership units per year.

In addition to creating homeownership opportunities, CCLT is hard at work educating people to become homeowners. We have provided informationon our program andon the benefits ofhomeownership to hundreds of people since our doors opened, andtake pride in workingone-on-one with families as they prepare for homeownership.

Our Homeownership Resource Center (HRC) serves as a clearinghouse of information on homeownership. The HRC is open to the public, especially those working toward homeownership. We encourage you to visit the HRC, which is also home to CCLT’s offices and provides space for our workshops and meetings.
