“Panel Discussion on Using CLTs to Deliver Energy Renovation and Permanent Affordability to Existing Housing”As a follow up to the September webinar, join us and our previous webinar presenters for an hour-long panel discussion where we will continue to build on last month’s case studies working with non-CLT homeowners to upgrade their homes and stabilize their tenure while bringing them into the community land trust.In our last webinar, we saw presentations from Virginie Schoëff (CLTB) and Jeanne Mosseray (VUB) regarding the Upcycling Trust Partnership-a collaboration between five European CLTs and local authorities-and Staci Horwitz regarding Project Sustained Legacy from the City of Lakes CLT in Minneapolis. This discussion will provide the you with insights and actionable takeaways on how CLTs are approaching working with, educating, and organizing with non-CLT homeowners to stabilize tenure, bring circular and sustainable upgrades to their homes, while bringing them into a CLT. Interpretation in English and French will be available in this session.
