An Approach to Creating Housing that our Local Workers Can Afford for Generations to Come.
Mill Valley, like all municipalities in California, faces unprecedented challenges and regulatory requirements to affirmatively further fair housing. We also face unique challenges, including topography, climate change impacts, and the fact that  93% of our land is already built upon. While the opportunity to build significant new housing stock in Mill Valley is limited, the opportunity to preserve both single-family and multi-family housing is considerable.
 
That is where the Mt. Tam Community Land Trust (Mt. Tam CLT) comes in. They are dedicated to identifying, acquiring, and preserving properties for residents of all income levels. They are a diverse group of highly-skilled volunteers dedicated to a key community mission. Properties that the trust acquires stay in the trust in perpetuity. By insuring the vibrance and strength that a community can only hold when it takes care of those that take care of it, Mt. Tam CLT has it’s sights set on building a portfolio not only for today, but for generations to come. Leaving a legacy of where our community can continue to thrive is something we can all be a part of!
