Dynamic EIA financial model

Six hundred dollars, and a deed at the end of it.

Dollar-for-dollar buy-back policy

If a resident vacates before year ten, the Métis Land Trust executes an explicit equity return. A family leaving after four years receives exactly $12,000 back — $250 × 48 months — in cash. The land title remains permanently with the trust to block corporate speculation, and a new family is placed into the home immediately.
