Heather Moore+FollowFresno’s new path to affordable homeownershipA renovated two-bedroom home in Central Fresno is up for grabs, but here’s the twist: you buy the house for $215,000, not the land. Instead, you lease the land for just $75 a month, locking in long-term affordability and stability for families. This is Fresno’s first Community Land Trust (CLT) home, aiming to keep homes out of the hands of flippers and in the hands of real residents. With strict resale rules and a focus on lasting renovations, this model could reshape who gets to put down roots in our neighborhoods.
