Creating a CLT: Organizational Issues and Options
Whether starting a CLT “from scratch” as a new corporation or grafting a CLT program onto the sturdy trunk an existing nonprofit, a CLT’s organizers must make a number of decisions regarding how the CLT will be structured, how large an area the CLT will serve, what roles the CLT will play, and how a base of community support will be cultivated and sustained. The materials collected (or referenced) in this section of the CLT RESOURCE CENTER examine these organizational and operational choices.
