Homestead Community Land Trust

Homestead Community Land Trust (CLT) empowers individuals, stabilizes families and strengthens neighborhoods by creating and preserving affordable homeownership opportunities for modest-income homebuyers in the Seattle area. Homestead stewards the ongoing affordability of new homes, brings existing homes into the affordable housing stock, assists people in achieving their homeownership dreams and supports our homeowners' ongoing success. We believe that when people have the opportunity to gain stability and create wealth safely through truly affordable homeownership, neighborhoods gain strength and resilience, and our community moves together towards social justice, economic vitality and environmental sustainability. Homestead believes in: * Equal access to housing. Every person in King County should have the opportunity to live in a safe, decent and affordable home. * Increasing the stock of permanently affordable homes. Our commitment to this belief provides the basis for all we do. * Quality service. Providing the highest level of service is a cornerstone of all Homestead activities and programs. * Integrity. Our work is accomplished in a respectful, professional, fair and non-discriminating manner. * Community-wide partnering. Partnerships with the private, public and nonprofit sectors are essential to our success. * Innovation. Seeking and implementing new ways of accomplishing our work is integral to accomplishing our mission.
