Forever Affordable, Forever Muskoka.

The MCLT is a community-led, nonprofit organization that benefits Muskoka by acquiring and stewarding land to develop permanently affordable housing, social enterprise and food security.

Florence Street Project

“The largest green affordable housing development in Northern Ontario.”

Burkhard Mausberg, President of Small Change Fund and Treasurer of the Muskoka Community Land Trust

Bracebridge Arena Proposal

The Town of Bracebridge can invest in community wealth by prioritizing downtown housing that is:

  • Not for Profit

  • Committed to local economic development

  • Governed by community

  • Climate resilient

REPLICATION ACROSS MUSKOKA

The Muskoka Community Land Trust envisions a portfolio of community-owned assets across the region and is working to identify underused land for community gardens, gathering space, community services, and permanently affordable housing. Proposals for sites in Bracebridge and Lake of Bays are in progress, and we welcome the opportunity to get involved in your community.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & GOVERNANCE

Democratic participation and community-led governance are key principles of the Muskoka Community Land Trust. As a membership-driven organization, we are committed to continuously engaging diverse voices, including people with core housing needs, and as a land stewardship organization, we have a responsibility to meaningfully consult with Indigenous rights holders.
