State College Community Land Trust

The State College Community Land Trust (SCCLT) believes everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home. For 30 years, SCCLT has created and stewarded permanently affordable, energy-efficient homes so that working individuals and families can put down roots in the State College Borough. By partnering with income-qualified first-time homebuyers, SCCLT makes homeownership possible in a market where rising costs have placed it out of reach for many teachers, healthcare workers, service employees, and young families. Our model ensures that homes remain affordable not just today, but for generations to come. When local residents give to SCCLT, they are investing in lasting affordability, neighborhood stability, and a community where people of diverse backgrounds and incomes can live, work, and thrive together. Strong homes build strong neighborhoods — and strong neighborhoods sustain the vibrancy and character that make State College special.
