Equity Trust Resources

 


   
This page was recently expanded to include the resources formerly distributed by the Institute for Community Economics (ICE). We thank our friends at ICE for enabling these important materials to remain available through our site. The following educational resources, many written by board members and staff of Equity Trust, provide valuable information about affordable housing, small farm protection, and community economic development issues. Also included are technical guides for community land trusts (CLTs) and our small farm protection model. Click on each item to learn more about it. Payment can be made securely by credit card through PayPal.
