How Affordable Homeownership Works
Hattie McDaniel homes are offered through Elevation Community Land Trust.
Under the CLT model:

- The home remains affordable for future buyers.
- Housing costs remain more predictable and accessible.
- Homeowners build equity through ownership.
This innovative approach creates opportunities for families who may not otherwise be able to purchase a home in today's market.
