City of Bridges CLT is an independent, nonprofit community land trust. We develop and steward permanently affordable homeownership in the Pittsburgh region.
Who can become a CBCLT member?
Who can become a CBCLT member?You don’t have to be a CBCLT homeowner or tenant to be a part of our organization and shape our work! City of Bridges encourages all residents of our partner communities to join and to play an active part in our movement.
CBCLT membership exists to properly represent the diverse communities of our region and the individuals we serve. We center the voices and leadership of populations who have been systemically and historically disenfranchised; including BIPOC, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and any other minority population.
Membership is open to all individuals who are 18 or older and live in a community that CBCLT currently serves.
