Dear Community Partner,
Are you passionate about affordable housing, community empowerment, and equity? Join us for an informational meeting to explore how community land trusts create lasting, affordable homeownership opportunities and how Aya Community Land Trust hopes to make a difference in Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood.
Aya Community Land Trust is committed to empowering the current and historic residents of the Hilltop neighborhood and centering Black leadership in its governance and operations. As a community-driven organization, we work to create lasting solutions for affordable housing while honoring the cultural and historical legacy of the community we serve.
We are offering an informational meeting on January 16th from 5:30 -7:30 pm. We will provide the physical address of the meeting to those who RSVP.
At the meeting, you’ll learn:
· What community land trusts are and how they work.
· How affordable homeownership can change lives and build wealth for families.
· How Aya Community Land Trust is advancing equity and building a more inclusive future in partnership with the Hilltop community.
We’ll also discuss how you can become a member of Aya Community Land Trust. Membership is at the heart of a CLT—it centers the voices of the community and those served by the land trust. By becoming a member, you’ll help guide decisions, shape priorities, and ensure the Hilltop continues to thrive for generations. Attending one of these information meetings is a requirement for membership.
