Advocating for More Housing: Advocate for funding and land with our anchor institutions. Identify property for sale or new funding opportunities. Help secure grants, building permits, and financing by going to the public meetings where these decisions are made. Future residents are almost never present at this early stage and will have a powerful voice.

Community Programs and Events: Help plan social events, workshops, and community meetings about nonprofit development, living affordably and sustainably, and fostering strong neighborhood social ties.

Why Does A2CLT Need Membership
Fees?
A2CLT's start-up phase was funded by $650,000 in loans from individuals in the community to purchase seven parcels and kickstart its first development, The Townie Homes.
Now it's time to invite everyone to join the movement and get more homes in the pipeline. We'll use membership fees for down payments on land, predevelopment expenses such as surveys and site plans, and the day-to-day operations of a small development company.
An inspiring example of community investment is the Commongrounds Co-op in Traverse City, where 489 residents invested $1.37 million to seed construction of a mixed-use community co-op with affordable apartments, retail, child care, and arts & performing space.
A2CLT is working to build the financial reserves and track record to qualify for commercial loans for larger projects. Join now and support development for Ann Arbor, by Ann Arbor.
