About Us
The Irvine Community Land Trust (ICLT), founded in 2006, develops high-quality housing that remains affordable for residents and working families. Originally focused on serving Irvine, ICLT expanded its mission in 2017 to support communities throughout Orange County while maintaining its close connection to the City of Irvine. By acquiring land and building thoughtfully planned communities, ICLT helps expand access to stable housing while preserving long-term affordability. Through careful planning, responsible development, and strong community partnerships, ICLT supports housing opportunities that strengthen communities today and for generations to come.
Building Housing That Lasts
Housing affordability is one of the most important challenges facing communities throughout California. ICLT was created to help address this challenge by developing housing that remains affordable forever. Through the community land trust model, ICLT helps ensure that homes built today remain accessible to future residents as well.

Founded in Irvine, ICLT maintains a close connection to the city while expanding its mission across Orange County. Each development is thoughtfully planned to support stable neighborhoods, responsible growth, and housing opportunities for residents and working families.
