About Us
Story County Community Housing Corporation (SCCHC) - A Community Land Trust - is a county-wide, community-based, non-profit corporation working to create and maintain affordable rental and family-owned housing.
To promote home ownership, the SCCHC uses the community land trust model. Through this model, the SCCHC can provide affordable housing for families, and maintain that affordability into the future for our community. We partner with local organizations with similar missions to reach these goals. We are a member of the National CLTNetwork
