    <description><![CDATA[<p>This is a three-part documentary podcast series about community land trusts and credit unions in Ontario who are working together to solve a stubborn problem: the equity gap that prevents communities from acquiring land collectively to keep it permanently affordable. The series follows the people behind a solutions lab in Ontario led by the Canadian Credit Union Association and Scaled Purpose as they ask: How can credit unions leverage innovative financing tools to help community land trusts overcome the equity gap to deliver more affordable housing?</p>]]></description>
