<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <div dir="ltr">
<div data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">The Columbia Community Land Trust (CCLT) is pleased to announce the future donation of an existing Benton-Stephens neighborhood home to the CCLT. This generous donation will be made by naming the CCLT as the beneficiary to a beneficiary deed recorded to the property. This future donation is another example of how community land trusts can serve as a tool to preserve existing housing stock, protect affordability and preserve the existing neighborhood character. The CCLT is excited to assist the City of Columbia with this growing need.
