OUR VISION

SacCLT is a vehicle fighting to sustain and strengthen historically discriminated neighborhoods using a transparent, accountable shared governance model to drive a sustainable, equitable, and empowered Sacramento metro area.

OUR VALUES

1. SacCLT primarily serves “historically discriminated” communities, defined as [First Nations/Native American, Southeast Asian/Pacific Islander, Latinx, Black, Arab/Middle Eastern, refugee, undocumented and documented immigrants, LGBTQIA, low-income, youth, people with disability, people who are housing insecure, people who are formerly incarcerated].
2. Our primary objective is to preserve affordability and community cohesion by preventing displacement. In so doing, we will stabilize residents, expand homeownership, ensure neighborhood control of assets and opportunities, and build shared community wealth.
3. Our secondary objective is to build community power to ensure more equitable development. As much as possible, SacCLT will seek to convene and build the capacity of resident leaders and community groups that seek to influence activities both within and outside of SacCLT’s control. 
4. SacCLT values smart growth, which means we will try not facilitate sprawl or developments that will negatively impact our environment. We will promote energy conservation, transit-oriented development, and infill as much as possible.
5. SacCLT and all members value diversity and inclusion in all we do. Financial limitations will not prevent someone from being a member. All business of SacCLT will adhere to a code of conduct and non-discrimination provision. All activities of SacCLT will be as transparent as possible to ensure accountability to members.
6. SacCLT must prioritize financial sustainability and strategic investments, and not accept money from organizations that require us to take actions that contradict our values.
