For 50 years, Durham Community Land Trustees has worked to keep Durham rooted in community, affordability, and opportunity, and on May 16th, we gathered to celebrate that legacy in a room filled with joy, reflection, and hope for the future.

Our 50th Anniversary Gala was a beautiful evening of honoring the people and partners whose commitment to community continues to transform lives across Durham. We celebrated changemakers doing incredible work, shared stories that made us laugh and reflect, enjoyed great food and fellowship, and paused to recognize the impact of five decades of service, advocacy, and community building. This milestone is more than an anniversary, it is a testament to the generations of residents, supporters, staff, volunteers, and partners who believed in the vision of bringing Durham home. As we celebrate where we’ve been, we are even more excited about where we are going. The work continues, the mission remains strong, and the future is bright. Here’s to 50 years of impact, and many more to come. ✨ #DCLT50 #BringingDurhamHome #DurhamCommunityLandTrustees #CommunityFirst #AffordableHousing #DurhamNC
