May Community member meeting: chat with Portland, Oregon zoning experts

Four-plex and duplex in St. Paul

Our board supports zoning reform, and we have very special guests from Portland speaking about zoning at our May meeting!
Neil and Henry are leaders at Portland: Neighbors Welcome, an organization that advocates for pro-housing and pro-tenant policies in Portland. In partnership with a coalition of grassroots organizations, their advocacy resulted in sweeping reforms to Portland's zoning code, which have legalized four units of housing on every residential lot in the city, and up to six for projects that meet affordability benchmarks. Neil and Henry will share insights and lessons learned from their successful campaign in Portland; we expect that their wisdom will help inform our advocacy for zoning reforms through Saint Paul's ongoing 1-4 unit housing study.

Join us on Zoom and stick around after their presentation for Saint Paul-specific updates!
