Why SCCLT?

Everyone involved with the land trust comes from varied backgrounds, but all embrace its mission. Below, some of the founding advocates describe how and why they devoted so many volunteer hours to the SCCLT.

Happy Family State College Community Land Trust

Homeowners
Mary and Mark Wilson

SINCERITY of those involved in the mission of the Land Trust
COURAGE to restore neighborhoods as well as people's lives
COMMITMENT to overcome financial and physical hazards 
LIMITLESS possibilities to live close to work and school, and to neighbors witnessing the positive impacts on their neighborhoods
TRUST extended to those in the Land Trust program, as they take flight with a simple, gentle hand to set them free.

The possibilities of homeownership energized not only the potential homeowner but also volunteers, staff, and even neighbors watching a property being revitalized. Volunteers did yard work, painting, and whatever it took; and many donuts and pizza were passed among the enthusiastic volunteers, rain or shine.

Terry &

Susan

"When Terry's mother passed away we were tasked with the responsibility of closing her estate...After meeting with several of the SCCLT members we decided that we wanted to sell to them. We had other interested parties because of the prime location of her property, but were most interested in her home being purchased by the SCCLT in that it would always be a home for a family that otherwise may not be able to afford one. Everyone we came in contact with helped us through the process and offered us help for what is not a fun ordeal, dealing with the death of a loved one. It was very comforting having so many good people behind us helping with the tasks at hand."
