Amherst Community Land Trust

The Amherst Community Land Trust (ACLT) is a private, non-profit, 501(c)3 that seeks to acquire and hold land in the town of Amherst for the purposes of offering affordable home ownership and maintaining the family character and economic diversity of Amherst’s residential neighborhoods. We support affordability using the community land trust model of shared ownership, with ACLT holding title to the land and the resident owning the home with an inexpensive long term lease for the land.
