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).

Our Commitment to Fair Housing

Equal consideration is a fundamental principle at Central Ohio Community Land Trust, where access to housing is based upon personal capabilities and qualification without discrimination because of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, familial status, age, ethnic background, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran’s status, or being a recipient of public assistance, or any other protected characteristic as established by law.
