Explore Community Land Trusts as an innovative solution to create sustainable pipeline of affordable housing in Edmonton.

Are you passionate about creating a sustainable and affordable future for housing in Edmonton?

This is your chance to be part of the solution! Edmonton is facing an affordable housing crisis, with 46,155 households in Core Housing Need, but together, we can drive change.

Join us for an exciting and insightful workshop on Community Land Trusts (CLTs)—a bold, innovative strategy to transform Edmonton’s housing landscape.

In alignment with the City of Edmonton's Affordable Housing Strategy (2023-2026), the Northern Alberta Co-operative Housing Association (NACHA) is exploring CLTs as a game-changing solution. CLTs empower communities by holding land in trust to preserve affordability for generations. CLTs offer a sustainable, community-driven approach to tackling Edmonton’s urgent housing needs—working toward affordable homes in every neighbourhood.

This workshop is part of NACHA’s broader vision to bring CLTs to Edmonton, and we’re inviting you to be part of this journey!

Who Should Attend?
This event is open to affordable housing advocates, policymakers, co-op members, community leaders, city planners, developers, and anyone interested in exploring innovative solutions to Edmonton’s housing affordability crisis.

Featured Guest Speaker:

We are thrilled to welcome, Thom Armstrong, CEO of the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC, to lead this conversation. With over three decades of trail blazing experience in the co-operative and affordbale housing sector, Thom will inspire us with real-world success stories from British Columbia. From large-scale projects to dynamic partnerships, learn how CLTs are redefining housing affordability and discover how Edmonton can take bold steps in the same direction.
