A. Discussion - Presentation to the Commission - Community Land Trust (CLT’s)
and Affordable Housing.
Strategic Goal: Productive Government
Background: The City of Deltona has provided down payment assistance for
hundreds of Deltona residents. Over the past twelve years, the City of
Deltona has provided over 250 residents with mortgage and
rehabilitation assistance through the State Housing Initiative Program
(SHIP). Over sixty (60) of those properties have been sold, and the
affordability has been lost . Most have been sold or refinanced and
some may have been foreclosed by the mortgage lender. That is
approximately a twenty percent annual loss of affordability on average.
Florida has become one of the most desired destinations for persons
looking to relocate and Deltona has and will continue to be affected by
increased demand for housing. Anyone in the home construction,
home sales, property management, and rental industries will attest to
an increase in housing prices and rents associated with single-family
homes, townhomes, duplexes, apartments and condominiums. There
are several methods to ensure more long term continued affordability in
the housing market. Over the next year, staff, in coordination with the
Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC), will be exploring

housing continued affordability. One method to afford long term housing
continued affordability is known as a Community Land Trust (CLT). Mr.
Frank Wells, President and Chief Impact Officer for Bright Community
Trust will discuss the mechanics of a Community Land Trust.
