The Disability Trust is administered by the Community Housing Land Trust Foundation (CHLTF). The CHLTF recognized that the co-op housing sector was building accessible units, only to find that people who needed them could not afford to pay the share purchase required for co-op membership.

Recognizing that even a small extra monthly cost can be a hardship for someone on a fixed income, the Trust helps by providing loans with no fee or interest to qualified beneficiaries.
