Community land trusts play a vital role in preserving affordable housing in neighborhoods facing gentrification and rising property costs. When affordability restrictions on properties are set to expire, securing preservation funding becomes critical to maintaining housing accessibility for low- and moderate-income residents.

This **Community Land Trust Preservation Funding Application** is designed specifically for land trusts, nonprofit housing developers, and community development organizations seeking grant funding to acquire expiring affordability properties. The form captures all essential information funders need to evaluate preservation projects: property details, acquisition timelines, current and proposed income restrictions, existing resident protection plans, capital improvement needs, and long-term affordability commitments.

Built with Paperform, this application streamlines what is traditionally a complex, multi-document submission process into a single, comprehensive form. Conditional logic ensures applicants only see questions relevant to their specific project type, while calculation fields help organizations accurately project costs and funding needs. The professional, on-brand design makes a strong first impression with funders and demonstrates organizational capacity.

For organizations managing multiple applications or funding rounds, [Stepper](https://stepper.io) can automate post-submission workflows—routing applications to review committees, triggering follow-up tasks for underwriting teams, updating CRM records, and keeping all stakeholders informed throughout the evaluation process. Combined with Paperform's native integrations, you can connect applications directly to your project management tools, shared databases, or grant tracking systems without manual data entry.

Whether you're a community land trust applying for local preservation funds, a nonprofit seeking state or federal grants, or a community development financial institution managing a funding program, this template provides the structure and professionalism needed to secure preservation funding and protect affordable housing for generations to come.
