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

Today was a great day for Durham as we officially broke ground on Alma Street Commons! 🎉🏡 We were honored to join community leaders, partners, supporters, and neighbors as we celebrated the beginning of a project that represents more than just new homes, it represents opportunity, stability, and a continued commitment to creating affordable homeownership opportunities in our community. Moments like these remind us why this work matters. Alma Street Commons is another step forward in our mission of Bringing Durham Home, ensuring that more families have access to safe, affordable, and sustainable housing. Thank you to everyone who helped make this milestone possible. We look forward to watching this vision become a reality and welcoming future homeowners home. #BringingDurhamHome #DCLT #Groundbreaking #AffordableHousing #CommunityDevelopment #DurhamNC #Homeownership #AlmaStreetCommons

We are just days away from celebrating a major milestone in DCLT History; 50 Years! We can't wait to see all of our friends, partners and neighbors! #50YearsofBringingDurhamHome

50 years ago, a group of visionary community leaders came together with one goal: to create an affordable, sustainable, and livable Durham for everyone. Today, that vision continues through the work of Durham Community Land Trustees. For five decades, DCLT has helped families achieve homeownership, preserved affordability, restored neighborhoods, and strengthened communities across Durham. What began as an idea has become a lasting movement rooted in equity, opportunity, and hope. As we celebrate 50 years of impact, we honor every homeowner, partner, volunteer, supporter, and community member who has helped make this journey possible. The work continues — and the future is bright. 🏡💙💚 We are also just 10 days away from our 50th Anniversary Gala! 🎉 There’s still time to purchase your tickets and celebrate this historic milestone with us. Tickets are available now at www.dclt.org. Here’s to 50 years of Bringing Durham Home. #DCLT50 #BringingDurhamHome #AffordableHousing #CommunityLandTrust #DurhamNC #Homeownership #DurhamCommunity #HousingJustice #50YearsStrong

On March 20, 2026 DCLT celebrated the historic open house in the Hayti Community on Grant Street. The first of its kind; a detached duplex, ada accessible and sustainable. Hear from the Women "the Ladies of Grant Street" that are at the helm of this groundbreaking moment. Ms. Brenda Bradsher, Ms. Vivianne Gunn, Ms. Joanne Brown, Ms. Pam Blake and Ms. Diane Merritt. Thank You for your resilience, perseverance and dedication to the Grant Street Community. Join the Ladies of Grant Street at the screening of their Documentary on April 18 at the Grant Street Community Center.

🏡💚 A day we’ll remember! Our Building Dedication & West End Community Celebration was more than an event—it was a celebration of community, history, partnership, and the people who continue to make Durham HOME. From honoring DCLT’s legacy in the West End to celebrating the neighbors, partners, vendors, volunteers, and supporters who showed up, this day reminded us why we do this work. For 50 years, DCLT has been rooted in Durham—and we’re just getting started. Here’s to continuing to preserve affordability, strengthen neighborhoods, and Bring Durham Home! 🏡 Thank you to EVERYONE who celebrated with us! 💚 #BringingDurhamHome #explorepage✨ #DurhamCommunityLandTrustees #fyp #affordablehousing

🌱 Growing more than a garden, we're growing community. 💚 A huge thank you to RTI International for investing in the future of our Ashe Street Community Garden through a generous grant award! 🌿 Because of partners like RTI, our garden is thriving with blueberries, tomatoes, watermelon, pumpkins, and green beans; creating opportunities for neighbors to learn, connect, and enjoy fresh, locally grown produce.
