The Bolinas Community Land Trust Website: WELCOME!
Why is Affordable Housing Important?
You choose to live in one of the most beautiful and unique communities in the world. In addition to the natural beauty that surrounds us, Bolinas is so special because of our community, because of the people who live and work here.
Not everyone can afford to buy a home in Bolinas, and many people who have lived here for decades are finding it more and more difficult to remain.
Young families who want to raise their children here are increasingly leaving Bolinas because of lack of housing.
Our workforce, the people who fix your house, garden or work at local businesses are also challenged to find rentals they can afford.
The BCLT recognizes how important diversity is to a community and through a dedicated volunteer board and small staff, we work every day to help create affordable housing for our town.

From KWMR:
At $5.12 per Gallon, You Can't Pay More in California, But Bo-Gas is a Valued Service That Supports the Bolinas Community (click to hear radio story).
Bo-Gas station manager Alb Foreman explains to KWMR reporter Katie Kukulka why the prices are so high, yet still worth it, and customers seem to agree. The station is owned by the non-profit Bolinas Community Land Trust, which is dedicated to creating and sustaining affordable housing in Bolinas.
