| Mission Statement |
The mission of the Maggie Walker Community Land Trust (MWCLT) is to develop and maintain permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for low and moderate-income households in the Richmond region. In partnership with the region’s community development corporations (CDCs) and affordable housing providers, the MWCLT helps to advance a vision of the Richmond region where communities are diverse and inclusive with safe, attractive, and sustainable housing choices for everyone. MWCLT is the state’s second community land trust; its purpose is to: (1) provide opportunities for low- and moderate-income people to secure housing that is decent and affordable; (2) preserve the quality and affordability of housing for future low- and moderate-income residents of the community; (3) steward the Trust’s resources so that they complement other community resources for affordable housing and low-income residents; and 4) achieve these purposes in a way that respects the natural environment and is compatible with current land use patterns and development standards. |
