Since 2012, our LULI program has trained over 200 emerging land use leaders. The future of Oregon's land use system depends on it.
Oregon is in the midst of a 155,000-unit housing shortage. See what 1000 Friends is doing to close the gap without creating sprawl.
We litigate cases to enforce and uphold the land use planning system, craft and promote farm and forest preservation policies, provide technical assistance with land use planning matters, and find creative solutions to support our rural economy.
We work with a network of agencies, landowners, and communities to ensure a thriving future for Oregon's forests and for the people who depend on them.
It's the issue of our lifetime. Learn more about how and why land use planning and climate change mitigation go hand-in-hand.
1000 Friends of Oregon plays a unique role in advocating for transportation systems that create healthy, livable, climate-resilient communities through land use and transportation planning.
Oregon's abundant agricultural industry feeds not just Oregonians, but the world. See how we partner with farmers, ranchers, and food networks to keep this tradition going--and growing--strong.
From the Residential Infill Project to Better Housing by Design, we led this successful 4-year campaign to bring about affordable housing solutions for every Portlander.
