The Irvine Community Land Trust (ICLT) is a nonprofit organization that was established in 2006 by the City of Irvine to develop and preserve permanent, low-cost housing for working families and individuals. Over the past two decades, the Land Trust has provided thousands of Irvine families with high-quality affordable housing units.

On September 21, the Land Trust board voted to remove Irvine Councilmember Kathleen Treseder from the ICLT board.

The Board stated that Ms. Treseder was removed for cause after she conditioned her support for a new affordable housing project on the removal of a director with whom she did not get along and then stopped attending Land Trust meetings when the Board refused her demand.
