SacCLT Board Member elections are held annually. Our next election will be held from 5:00 - 7:30 Saturday, June 15, 2024, at Organize Sacramento located at 1714 Broadway, Sacramento, CA 95818.
The Sacramento Community Land Trust was founded by a broad base of community members with shared values of housing justice, equity, inclusion and closing the opportunity gap. They were intentional about developing an organizational structure that would ensure that people who are directly impacted by displacement and gentrification in Sacramento would drive the organization's priorities. To achieve that vision, the founders established a shared governance structure that would ensure that residents and those who identify as being part of a historically discriminated community would self-select their representatives.
