50 years ago, a group of visionary community leaders came together with one goal: to create an affordable, sustainable, and livable Durham for everyone.

Today, that vision continues through the work of Durham Community Land Trustees.

For five decades, DCLT has helped families achieve homeownership, preserved affordability, restored neighborhoods, and strengthened communities across Durham. What began as an idea has become a lasting movement rooted in equity, opportunity, and hope.

As we celebrate 50 years of impact, we honor every homeowner, partner, volunteer, supporter, and community member who has helped make this journey possible. The work continues — and the future is bright. 🏡💙💚

We are also just 10 days away from our 50th Anniversary Gala! 🎉 There’s still time to purchase your tickets and celebrate this historic milestone with us. Tickets are available now at www.dclt.org.

Here’s to 50 years of Bringing Durham Home.

DCLT’s Homebuyer Session was truly a treat. In a room full of attendees eager to understand how close they are to homeownership, our Executive Director, Sherry Taylor, affirmed that the possibilities are very real and within reach.

We were also honored to welcome our special guest, Anna Pittman, who first began her homeownership journey at one of our sessions last year. Anna delivered a powerful testimony about what’s possible when you trust the process—reminding everyone that persistence and partnership can open doors.

We are extremely grateful to Anna and to all who attended last night’s session.
