Fideicomiso Comunitario Tierra Libre (FCTL) is a non-profit 501.c.3 organization serving as community land trust that aims to provide opportunities for low-income residents of Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles to secure decent and permanent affordable housing.
Our organization was formed in 2019 by predominantly women, immigrant families, activists, and community-based organizations in Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles, who made a strategic decision to pursue housing justice and work on an alternate pathway towards sustainable and affordable housing by choosing a community land trust model.
FCTL is dedicated to actively pursuing innovative housing solutions in Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles. As displacement pressures escalate, we are strategically exploring approaches for housing preservation and development over the next 5 to 10 years. Deeply rooted in the neighborhoods we serve, FCTL's membership continues to grow. Together, we are envisioning a brighter future—one where homes transcend mere commodities, becoming spaces that foster community, empowerment, and enduring stability.
