Backed by the Cambridge, MA-based Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the National Community Land Trust Network’s founding conference, held in Boulder, Colorado in July 2006, was attended by over 300 housing leaders. Already more than 50 community land trusts have joined the network. The group aims to develop a strong system of education and training for the growing community land trust sector.

We have been involved in one project like that for awhile, though it has been slow getting off the ground.
