Abstract:
The Equitable Land Initiative (ELI) Capstone Team is investigating issues of housing affordability, availability and equity in the
Springwells community of Detroit. Through an analysis of historical housing practices in Detroit, existing conditions in the
neighborhood and a variety of assessment tools, ELI became interested in exploring the implementation of Community Land
Trusts (CLTs) in Springwells community of Detroit. This Capstone explores if CLTs can be used as a community-led, equity-build
-
ing approach to homeownership and housing stability in Springwells.
