Land trust sells off housing for the poor to finance new complex, and not everyone is cheering

When Bill Sulzman, 82, noticed people circling his small cottage carrying tape measures, cameras and clipboards last summer and fall, he knew something was up. He didn’t know then, but he’s since found out, that his home for 32 years, for which he pays nominal rent, was sold in October without his knowledge. That sale and others are part of a plan to liquidate many of Ithaka Land Trust’s roughly two dozen rental properties. Most were built 100 or more years ago and were acquired through donations and purchases financed by nuns and the city. Over the years, though, Ithaka’s maintenance bills grew while rents barely budged. With limited operating funds, the nonprofit has cooked up a plan to monetize the mostly Westside properties so it can fix up some of its rentals and build a low-income housing project southeast of downtown.
