“…Community land trust (CLT) separates ownership of the land and the building with the intention of helping low‐income participants become homeowners (Davis, 2006). Skobba and Carswell (2014) interviewed 20 CLT participants. The participants reported receiving help to repair credit and gaining access to affordable homeownership were positive aspects of CLT.…”

The Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal (FCSRJ) is a multidisciplinary journal which includes housing and interior design as one of the eight topic areas. To increase the visibility of housing and interior design, this review focused on housing research by presenting a summary of the 27 housing and interior design articles published in FCSRJ between 2008 and 2022. The following categories emerged: history, culture, housing counseling, issues and trends, affordability, renting versus owning, college students, and older adults. The results of each published study were timely and productive, and many of the authors called for additional research to explore the topics in more depth.

“…A biographical approach examining the experiences of 20 CLT homeowners conducted in Athens Land Trust in Clarke County, Georgia and Community Home Trust in Orange County, North Carolina, reflects a positive change in each resident’s life (Skobba and Carswell, 2014). However, the absence of a full ownership scheme – the lack of land plot ownership – could mitigate the positive CLT residential experience (Skobba and Carswell, 2014).…”

Purpose In pursuit of affordable housing, the Sustainable Urban Development Act of 2021 contains regulations for community land trusts (CLTs) in Peru. This study aims to assess whether the CLT model can be an effective tool for low-income housing generation in the Peruvian context. Design/methodology/approach This study draws upon information collected from qualitative research and official statistical data to identify the main problems in the Peruvian housing sector. The authors gathered evidence from specialised literature to examine the benefits and drawbacks of CLT implementation and functionality as experienced in the USA, England and Canada in contrast to Puerto Rico and Brazil. To assess the potential effectiveness of the CLT model in Peru, the results from the examination of both groups of countries are analysed and contrasted with the evidence from the Peruvian experience. Findings Through micro-scale interventions in places with a consolidated sense of community, the CLT model can be an effective tool for affordable housing generation. However, no robust evidence suggests that the CLT model could be an effective tool for large-scale intervention in cities with disorganised and accelerated growth. Moreover, the level of housing affordability defined by the CLT model may be insufficient for people from the lowest-income percentiles. Originality/value Peruvian CLT adaptation will require a shift in individual property mind-sets. Furthermore, the model should be enhanced by governmental support through public subsidies and backed by mortgage loans and land grant programmes.

“…These future housing decisions may be of interest to researchers who concentrate on various households' housing careers, or the progression of housing choices made over time (Skobba, 2016;Skobba & Carswell, 2014). This may alleviate any potential adjustment problems, which may occur during this transitory period in a young person's life.…”

Compared to previous generations of students, today's college‐bound students have found that their housing situation offers demonstrably more amenities. These amenities can be offered either through university‐provided housing or through private student housing providers specializing in high‐amenity housing. This study is based on research on residential satisfaction, housing adjustment theory, and housing careers to help understand the effects that these amenities have on the students’ overall well‐being. The sample is extracted from a database collected by a private student housing provider covering multiple university settings across the United States. The results of data analysis suggest that while amenities such as resort‐style pools and fast Internet speed increase housing satisfaction, other amenities such as computer rooms and coffee shops have a negative effect. However, several variables measuring quality of customer service have positive effects on housing satisfaction. The results suggest that the students’ experiences in these environments may help form their housing norms as they leave college.
