Celebrating a Milestone: VSCLT Adds 10th Permanently Affordable Home

We are thrilled to announce that the Virginia Statewide Community Land Trust (VSCLT) has officially added its 10th home! This is an incredible milestone in our mission to provide permanent, affordable housing for families across Virginia. With each home we add to our portfolio, we create new opportunities for individuals and families to live in stable, safe, and sustainable communities.

A Growing Movement for Affordable Housing

The addition of the 10th home to our land trust is more than just a number—it signifies the growing impact of a movement committed to housing security and economic justice. At a time when affordable housing is out of reach for so many, the VSCLT model ensures that homes remain permanently affordable. We don’t just help families become homeowners; we preserve that affordability for future generations.

Each home VSCLT home reflects the dedication of our partners, volunteers, donors, and, most importantly, the community members who have joined us in this mission. From the first home we added to our portfolio to this most recent acquisition, every property brings us closer to making affordable homeownership a reality for more Virginians.

What This Means for Our Community

This milestone home represents another family that will have the opportunity to build wealth, stability, and community ties without the threat of being priced out due to rising real estate values. It also means the land beneath this home will forever belong to the community, ensuring affordability even as neighborhoods evolve and grow.

For the family living in this home, this is a life-changing opportunity. Access to affordable housing has been shown to improve educational outcomes, health, and overall well-being. For the wider community, it strengthens the fabric of our neighborhoods, creating more vibrant, diverse, and inclusive spaces for all.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this accomplishment, we’re also looking ahead to the future. The need for affordable housing continues to rise across Virginia, and we are committed to meeting that need head-on. With the continued support of our partners, local governments, and community members, we aim to add many more homes to the VSCLT in the years to come.

We invite you to join us as we continue to build on this momentum. Whether you’re a prospective homeowner, a donor, a volunteer, or an advocate for affordable housing, there’s a place for you in this movement.

Together, we can create a Virginia where everyone has a place to call home.
