Who We Are

About Us

Circle Community LandTrust was founded to protect and invest in some of the last affordable family-sized homes in Toronto.

Our Vision

Quality, family-sized, perpetually affordable homes in inclusive communities to serve today's tenants and future generations.

Our Mission

To protect and invest in our scattered house portfolio to foster stability, opportunity and community for our tenants and to grow Toronto's affordable housing stock.

Our Founding Objectives

Affordable Forever

As a land trust, we will ensure the homes remain affordable in perpetuity.

Stand Together

Circle will use the scale of our operations to ensure no tenant and no house is left behind.

Tenants at the Centre

A quality home is one that promotes each tenant's well-being. We will support that well-being by offering tenants a say in the repair and improvement of their homes, making homes truly livable, and creating opportunities for training, employment, community, and participation in Circle's governance.

A Stronger Non-Profit Sector

We will collaborate with other non-profit organizations to make the most effective use of the sector's strengths to the benefit of all.

A Foundation for Growth

As the houses are brought into good repair, we will begin to apply operating surpluses to grow Toronto's affordable housing stock.

CHFT has been working with land trusts for over 30 years. They are one of the best ways to ensure housing stays affordable in the long term. I am proud to be a Director of Circle LandTrust.
