What the land trust will do
The DCLTA will work to create long term affordable housing for residents of Denman Island who are most at risk. In so doing the association hopes to relieve the stress and insecurity resulting from living in housing which requires more than one third of one’s income in rent and where one’s future tenure is precarious at best. By so doing we hope to retain low-income residents as valued and contributing members of our community.
