Community-Controlled Housing

In February 2024, the ENYCLT made history as the first community land trust in New York City to privately acquire a multifamily building. We are now in the process of rehabbing the building and upgrading all building-wide systems. Significant progress has already been made in laying the groundwork for this transformation—we have secured an architect, begun the design process, and are developing plans to ensure the rehabilitation meets the needs of current and future residents.

Through regular meetings, leadership development, and tenant governance structures, we are empowering residents to actively shape the future of their home, ensuring that they drive both the physical and social transformation of the building. Once construction is complete, the building will transition into an HDFC cooperative, providing long-term affordability and resident control.
