The Lopez Community Land Trust is a 501(c)3 non-profit, building a diverse, sustainable Lopez Island community through affordable housing, sustainable agriculture, and other dynamic rural development programs.
LCLT’s purposes are to acquire and hold land in trust in order to provide for permanently affordable housing; to build homes and use lands in an environmentally sensitive and socially responsible manner; to provide permanently affordable access to land for such purposes as quality housing, sustainable agriculture and forestry, cottage industries and co-operatives by forever removing the land from the speculative market; to develop and exercise responsible and ecological practices, which preserve, protect and enhance the land’s natural attributes; and to serve as a model in land stewardship and community development by providing information, resources and expertise.
