Abstract: Nigeria, like many other developing countries, faces significant challenges in providing affordable housing for its citizens, particularly in major cities experiencing population growth and urbanization. This study focuses on assessing the feasibility of implementing the Community Land Trust (CLT) model to address this pressing issue. Through a comprehensive review of literature and responses from thirty-one stakeholder interviewed, the study examines the success of CLTs in other countries, identifies opportunities and challenges associated with implementing CLTs in Nigeria, and explores potential partnerships among the government, private sector, and community organizations. Furthermore, the study evaluates the potential impact of integrating CLTs into Nigeria's housing policy, aiming to enhance the provision of affordable housing and improve the quality of life for low-income families. The study concludes that adopting the CLT model into Nigeria's housing policy holds promise as a sustainable solution for affordable housing provision and has significant implications for policy and practice in the affordable housing sector, not only in Nigeria but also in other developing countries confronting similar challenges.
