Incubations

Artist Space Trust (AST) is a joint program of Vital Arts and NCLT. It utilizes a CLT model to secure permanently affordable housing and creative space for Bay Area artists and culture bearers.

NCLT, in partnership with Bay Area Regional Health Inequities Initiative (BARHII) and Urban Habitat is providing technical assistance to the Vallejo Housing Justice Coalition (VHJC) to create a new CLT in the City of Vallejo.

NCLT partnered with Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Services (ACBHCS) to incubate the Supportive Housing Community Land Alliance (SHCLA), now an independent CLT focused on permanently affordable supportive housing in Alameda County.

In 2014, NCLT collaborated with PAHALI to obtain two East Palo Alto single-family CLT sites. NCLT initially owned and supported the projects, later transferring ownership to PAHALI, now independently operated in partnership with EPA CAN DO.

NCLT's technical assistance work included co-creating the National CLT Network (now Grounded Solutions Network) and the California CLT Network, collaboratively crafting governance guidelines for equitable representation and sustainability.
