Beverly-Vermont Community Land Trust

The Beverly-Vermont Community Land Trust in Los Angeles, CA is dedicated to empowering working-class communities of color in Koreatown and surrounding areas through permanent affordability and democratic community ownership. They advocate for the decommodification of land and create just, equitable, and ecological housing developments while centering the leadership of those most impacted by gentrification and displacement.

Unlike traditional affordable housing organizations, BVCLT ensures long-term affordability by using the community land trust (CLT) model, retaining rights to the land to keep housing prices accessible beyond initial ownership. Located three miles west of downtown Los Angeles, BVCLT's mission is to combat the effects of racist housing policies and provide sustainable solutions for community members.
