COCLT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Central Ohio Community Land Trust (COCLT) Advisory Committee is an independent group of stakeholders that share their expertise related to affordable housing. They represent banks, non-profit developers, governments, foundations, and COCLT homeowners. The Advisory Committee meets quarterly to discuss COCLT initiatives and provide feedback to the COCLT staff.
The Advisory Group is not involved in issues that pertain to the administration of the COCLT, as a rule, leaving such matters to COCLT’s parent company, the Central Ohio Community Improvement Corporation, Board of Directors (cocic.org).
