KulshanCLT is a private nonprofit corporation that acquires and holds land for community benefit while providing secure affordable access to land and housing for residents throughout Whatcom County. Like more than 200 CLTs nationwide, KulshanCLT avoids speculation and absentee ownership of land and housing, promotes ecologically sound land-use practices, and preserves the long-term affordability of housing. Employing a shared equity strategy to balance the need of homeowners to build equity and gain stability with the need of the community to preserve affordable homes for future generations, KulshanCLT grows a community that is vibrant, diverse, sustainable and a legacy for future generations. With 100 homes in the Trust, KulshanCLT has plans to create at least 12 new homeownership opportunities per year in the next three years.
