Book excerpt: This dissertation looked at Community Land Trust (CLT) as a potential partial solution to poverty, upward mobility, and displacement and identified the possible extent of economic and civic mobility amongst CLT participants. Case Studies, relevant literature research, public documents/reports, and interviews from DCLT stakeholders were used to discover the factors contributing to DCLT start-up ability to create social/spatial equity via Policy Interpretation, Community Land Control, Preliminary Resident Engagement/ Leadership Fostering, DCLT Structure/Capacity, and Collaboration Dynamics. An extensive qualitative/descriptive quantitative case study analysis of DCLT start-up phase was conducted. Findings: The factors that affected DCLT start-up were: Robust and cohesive board, The public's lack of CLT knowledge, CLT Skepticism, Lack of legislation or substantive partnership with the City, and DC's expensive and limited land/housing stock.
