The NYC Community Land Initiative (NYCCLI) is an alliance of social justice and affordable housing organizations working to advance Community Land Trusts (CLTs) to address root causes of homelessness and displacement. NYCCLI members include emerging and established CLTs and other grassroots and citywide groups organizing for deeply- and permanently-affordable housing, commercial and community spaces, and other neighborhood-led development.

NYCCLI members conduct community education, organizing, capacity-building training, applied research, policy advocacy, and more to expand CLTs and non-speculative housing in New York City.
