Mission Statement
We strengthen community and diversity in Yellow Springs and Miami Township by developing permanently affordable and sustainable housing through our community land trust model.
Description
Yellow Springs Home, Inc. is a private, nonprofit corporation. Our purpose is to build and acquire affordable housing for persons who are poorly served by the prevailing housing market. Home, Inc. is also a member of the Ohio Community Development Corporation Association (OCDCA) and the National Community Land Trust Network.
Community Land Trusts are community-based membership organizations whose missions include permanent stewardship of land for community benefit and perpetual preservation of the affordability of housing on that land.
The Community Land Trust model was designed to balance a community's need for a stock of permanently affordable housing with wealth creation opportunities for individual families.
