What UNR does, and why

Portland grassroots group United Neighborhoods for Reform seeks to stem the demolition of viable, affordable housing. Our demolition/development resolution, developed through significant neighbor outreach, gathered endorsements from 43 neighborhood associations citywide. We also regularly take our message to City Hall, starting in December 2014, continuing in 2015 on Feb. 12, June 3 (UNR presenters start at 51:20), Oct. 14 (UNR at 1:07:35), and Nov. 25 (UNR at 1:05); in 2016 on Feb. 17, Nov. 9 and 16, and Dec. 7; in 2017 on May 17; in 2018 on Feb. 1; and many dates since.

Woodlawn Neighborhood Association points the way

Last night Woodlawn voted to support the United Neighborhoods for Reform demolition/development resolution. Hooray for them, and hooray for the movement to curb the city's record-breaking loss of unique affordable housing and to request more positive development in the neighborhoods.

Thank you, Woodlawn neighbors, and thank you to all Portland residents pressing to hear and support the resolution at their next neighborhood meeting.
