Multiple Toronto neighbourhoods — including Chinatown, Kensington Market, Parkdale, and now Little Jamaica — have found a way to preserve local businesses and protect affordable housing for vulnerable residents in the face of constant redevelopment.are non-profit corporations that hold land on behalf of a place-based community, while serving as the steward for affordable housing, civic buildings, and other community assets to avoid the displacement of vulnerable residents and businesses.
The organization was created in response to the negative impacts faced by the Little Jamaica neighbourhood as a result of the delay-plagued Eglinton Crosstown LRT construction, which led to a"significant decline in the local ecosystem.
The LJCLT also seeks to increase the participation of Black people in community development to advance their collective cultural, economic, and social interests in the neighbourhood. The community is just the latest Toronto neighbourhood to protect the needs of local residents and businesses through a community land trust model.was officially launched to ensure the needs of the community were met by leasing land to non-profit partners who could provide affordable housing, furnish spaces for social enterprises, as well as offer urban agriculture and open space.
The TCLT is now a community-controlled effort to build an inclusive and ever-evolving Chinatown in Toronto, working to hold resources and assets for working-class people in the neighbourhood.
