Building on traditions, not sprawl

We are here to help Greater Portland Area municipalities work to address the housing crisis.

Greater Portland needs 24,000 new housing units by 2030 just to meet demand. Studies have shown that creating more supply is critical for reducing the cost of housing.

The housing will have the least environmental impact if we build it near public transportation and where people work.

Developers will meet demand by building housing in the wrong places — on productive woodlands and farmland located far from where people work and shop — creating more traffic and more auto emissions that contribute to the climate crisis.
