5 Ways Policymakers Should Integrate CLTs Into Florida’s Disaster Plans

With more than $4 billion in federal disaster recovery funds on the way — and an affordability crisis already straining communities across Florida — the decisions policymakers and local leaders make today will shape the state’s future for decades. Community Land Trusts (CLTs) offer a proven, fiscally responsible solution to support both disaster recovery and long-term housing stability. Our new fact sheet explains why CLTs should be part of every recovery strategy, helping protect public investments, support working families, and build stronger, more resilient communities. In it, we outline five practical steps leaders can take right now to put them to work.
