MACLT 25th Anniversary Celebration Event will take place Tuesday, Nov. 15, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Urban League of Greater Madison, 2222 S Park St, Ste 200.

MACLT has been making homeownership affordable for low-moderate income homebuyers in Madison for 25 years. Join us as we celebrate our accomplishments, acknowledge partners who have be key to our success, and look ahead to our next quarter century of service to the community.

As part of this anniversary event, MACLT is bringing internationally known affordable housing and community land trust expert John Emmeus Davis to Madison. Mr. Davis lives in Burlington, VT, where he was the city’s housing director under Mayor Bernie Sanders, and now works as a consultant traveling throughout the U.S. and to Europe and Australia advancing the understanding of community land trusts.

Davis will be talking about his documentary “Arc of Justice: The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of a Beloved Community,” which traces the remarkable journey of New Communities, Inc. and the struggle for racial justice and economic empowerment among African Americans in southwest Georgia in the ’60s.
