After nearly 10 years with Community Land Trust (CLT), Executive Director Tiffany Duzita is saying goodbye to pursue a new opportunity in the private sector. Her last day with the organization is January 31, 2025.
Tiffany Duzita was hired as CLT’s executive director in May 2015 as its first employee. Over the past decade, she has built a team of 38 people (and growing) that build, manage and preserve a portfolio valued at over $1.25 billion, with 2,437 occupied homes, 401 homes under construction, and another 674 homes under development.
“Over the course of the last ten years, Tiffany has built the organization from a modest operation with a single employee to the most accomplished and admired social purpose real estate developer in the entire country,” said CHF BC and CLT CEO Thom Armstrong. “No challenge has been a match for Tiffany’s talent, energy and creativity. She inspired, led and mentored her team and many others in the community housing sector, not only in British Columbia but across Canada in the fledgling Canadian Network of Community Land Trusts. “
Thanks to her considerable efforts, the CLT has a brighter future than any of us could have imagined.

“The last decade working for and growing CLT has introduced me to some of the most challenging and rewarding work I have experienced in the past 25 years of my career,” says Tiffany. “Most importantly, it has afforded me the opportunity to meet and work with an amazing group of people where each one of you has a role in the impact CLT has made. I will look back on my time at CLT with a sense of pride regarding all the great achievements of growing co-operative and non-profit housing in BC. But my most fond memories will forever be captured in being part of the growth of the organization and the people who made that possible.”
A formal executive search for CLT’s next executive director will be announced soon.
