Residential Update
“The Rondo Community Land Trust allowed me to achieve my dream of home ownership. I did not think this was something I could achieve in today’s housing market. However due to receiving grant funds and the support of the amazing Rondo CLT staff I am now building equity and increasing my net worth with the hopes of building generation wealth for the future.” - Kayla Swanson

Please Consider Supporting our Work
Rondo CLT builds community wealth and neighborhood stability through the development and stewardship of perpetually affordable homeownership opportunities, rental housing, commercial space, and other community assets.
Each new property that enters the community land trust starts a cycle of affordability for generations of low to moderate income earning families and local small business owners. Your donation makes all of this possible. Thank you.
