About the Chinatown Community Land Trust
關於我們

The Chinatown CLT is an initiative under the Chinatown Partnership Lower Development Corporation (CPLDC). We are part of the broader city-wide NYC Community Land Initiative (NYCCLI) and funded by the NYC Council. Today, Chinatown CLT is an extension of a longer history of efforts to establish a CLT in Chinatown, which was proposed as far back as 2013 in a report to the Chinatown Working Group as a tool to preserve affordability and authenticity for the neighborhood.

We continue to listen and learn from other community organizations and build the CLT coalition within Chinatown and across NYC. As our project continues to develop, please join our email list to receive updates and share your thoughts with us!

華埠CLT是「華埠共同發展機構」（Chinatown Partnership Lower Development Corporation ，簡稱CPLDC）旗下的一個項目。我們也是「紐約市CLT運動」（NYC Community Land Initiative, 簡稱NYCCLI）的一分子，由紐約市議會撥款支持進行。早在2013年，「華埠工作組」(Chinatown Working Group）提交的報告便已正式提出社區對於有限淨值房屋的強大需求，CLT正能就此作出回應，成為一個可以幫助保持華埠平價居所與風貌的工具。

我們將繼續聽取其他社區組織的意見並向其學習經驗，在華埠與整個紐約市範圍內建立CLT的聯盟。 隨著我們項目的不斷發展，請加入我們的電子郵件群組以接收最新消息並與我們分享您的想法！

Objectives 

The Chinatown Community Land Trust (abbreviation: Chinatown CLT) strives to:

  1.  Maintain a continuous dialogue with community stakeholders, residents, city officials, private organizations, and non-profit organizations that support CLT's goals.

  2. Participate in the city-wide “NYC Community Land Trust Initiative” to gain valuable governance, legal, and technical assistance.

  3. Obtain funds from the New York City Council and relevant government departments to support the establishment of Chinatown CLT.

  4. Research the legal, financial and regulatory issues related to CLT models, and broadcast the relevant knowledge to stakeholders.

  5.  Talk to Chinatown’s independent small property landlords to discuss the feasibility of converting buildings (or portions of buildings) into shared-equity housing, if conditions are appropriate, so as not to sell to speculators.

  6. Secure funding to preserve existing affordable housing and provide tenants with a new option to purchase the units they occupy at affordable prices and become shared-equity owners of affordable apartments.

  7. Work with Chinatown’s family associations, other long-term property owners, and community stakeholders to design and implement feasible plans to reduce the increasingly burdensome property tax increases, stabilize units of existing affordable housing, and ensure the safety of tenement housing occupants.

  8. Develop feasible solutions to ensure that Chinatown’s small businesses can continue to thrive in the future.
