As a community land trust, our mission is achieved through two primary things; bringing land and housing under the control of our organization, and building a large, active, empowered base of members in the communities we serve who can democratically decide how that land and housing is used. Key to achieving both of those things are Member-Leaders, people who have relationships, connections, and history in the community, are dedicated to the mission of our organization, and are able to take on leadership roles and responsibilities within City Roots and throughout the community.
