Anchorage Community Land Trust

Anchorage Community Land Trust (ACLT) was launched in 2003 with a seed grant from the Rasmuson Foundation. The organization was formed to help develop healthy and prosperous communities in Anchorage. ACLT soon decided to target a geographic area of high need, focusing on revitalizing Mountain View.

ACLT acquired key pieces of property to promote positive community development in keeping with the vision of a vibrant arts and culture district and to improve the quality of life for Mountain View residents. ACLT is committed to long-term, sustainable neighborhood revitalization rooted in community-based efforts. Today, the organization invests in sustainable economic and community development projects that create real opportunity. It has often been said that “a rising tide lifts all boats.” ACLT is part of Mountain View’s rising tide of residents, community organizations and businesses who are coming together to create a vibrant future for this very diverse Anchorage neighborhood.

Mission
Anchorage Community Land Trust strives to develop healthy and prosperous communities in Anchorage by acquiring, developing and planning for the land and projects necessary to bring about sustainable neighborhood revitalization and economic development.

As a “hybrid” organization, ACLT works both as a land trust and as a community development organization. The organization leverages public and private resources to acquire and develop properties that are strategic to redevelopment efforts. The goal is to improve the quality of life in the community by addressing issues important to Mountain View residents.
