In 2021, the North Carolina Community Action Association (NCCAA) commissioned a study to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its efforts to combat poverty and facilitate self-sufficiency in low-income
communities throughout the state.  
​
One of the recommendations from the study was to assess the feasibility and suitability of Community Land Banks and Community Land Trusts to expand the inventory of affordable and workforce housing in Community Action
Agency communities with a focus on communities where the influx of wealthier pandemic refugees has greatly reduced the supply of affordable housing. 
​
Building on this recommendation, in June 2022, NCCAA launched the North Carolina Community Action Land Trust (NCCALT).

​

We keep homeownership affordable across the State of North Carolina by offering Shared Equity Homeownership opportunities using the Community Land Trust model. Our investments ensure that lower-income families can afford to live in their community for generations to come.
