Fill out the survey by April 27
1000 Friends of Oregon and Sightline Institute are partnering to support cities and towns as they implement a new housing planning & production process known as the Oregon Housing Needs Analysis (OHNA). OHNA is an exciting step for our state because it empowers cities and regions to comprehensively analyze housing shortages, understand who has unmet needs, and create and implement strategies to get housing on the ground.
But this isn’t going to happen on its own: It will take all of us, working together, to ensure that every city is listening to constituents and using the right tools to meet local needs.
That’s where 1000 Friends and Sightline come in. We know this issue is a bit technical and complex, so we want to break it down in a way that is easier for community members to understand. Our goal is to ensure that our neighbors have the tools and knowledge to be able to engage effectively in housing planning in their local community—because that’s where it makes the most difference.
And we need your help: Please take 3 minutes by Tuesday, April 27 to fill out this survey assessing awareness, knowledge, and experience with OHNA and local governance. This information will help our team create education and outreach materials that reflect the needs and interests of all our communities.
