Susan Scott, Founding Member

After visiting Point Reyes since 1975, in 2003 she moved to Inverness from Sacramento, where she raised children and worked as an attorney for 22 year. She spent 15 of those years organizing, developing and living in one of the first American urban co-housing projects (Southside Park Cohousing) and the first with an affordable financing program for low and moderate income residents. In addition to setting up the co-housing project, her legal career has involved farmworker labor rights, nonprofit formation and taxation, criminal appellate defense and, since 2006, international human rights.

Upon moving to Inverness, Susan immediately began working for affordable housing. She is a founding member of CLAM and has served continuously on the Property Committee since 2002. Susan is active with the California Community Land Trust Network Policy Committee, promoting legislation to facilitate the CLT homeownership model statewide.
