Join us on December 13th to celebrate our hard work and wins in 2025! We’ll also preview opportunities ahead in 2026, and maybe even plug you into a small team. In P:NW, we know working together- and having fun together- is the only way to achieve our big goals. Let’s party at White Owl! <3

Today, PNW Board Member @wutherering.bsky.social and @sightline.org's @andersem.bsky.social testified in support of @councilorzimmerman.bsky.social + @councilormorillo.bsky.social's initiative to reform the design review process.

Housing not harassment!

Support not sweeps. We don’t have to live like this.

ACTION ALERT: Join Portland: Neighbors Welcome in submitting testimony to Portland City Council in support of Councilor Morillo's Fall Budget amendment to fund support, not sweeps, for our neighbors. portlandneighborswelcome.org/supportnotsw...

“We have a lot of people who are suffering right now, and I am not seeing that the mayor’s shelter plan is going to adequately alleviate that suffering,” Councilor Angelita Morillo told OPB in an interview. “Our office feels the need to act.”

Great to see friends-of-PNW like @andersem.bsky.social and @maccoinnich.bsky.social quoted in this DJC article to reform housing code for more sunlight suites djcoregon.com/news/2025/11...

One of the many reasons to make small multifamily buildings geometrically feasible on small lots is that they're much safer than the detached homes there today. If people want to live in safer buildings, let's not stop them! www.pew.org/en/research-...

gotta get to 8. 8 is great.

Hello Neighbors! We would love to see you at our next Happy Hour, which will be on Thursday the 6th (this week!) from 6-8 PM at Migration Williams (on the back patio). We are excited that Portland BPS Principal Planner Ryan Singer will be a special guest. This is gonna be a good one folks!

Ten years ago, a Renters' State of Emergency was declared. Today, Oregon has the highest eviction levels in its history. So what happened? @donovanscribes.bsky.social explains where we've been and where we must go in his latest excellent installment of THE BLACK BYLINE.

Check out this super exciting affordable middle housing project in Milwaukie from Shortstack and Proud Ground! We love to see middle housing legalization lead to more homes for Oregon families <3 www.oregonmetro.gov/news/afforda...

I’m at the launch of Oregon’s design competition for sunlight suite buildings - neighborhood-scale mulifamily buildings designed around one central staircase. “This is one of those innovations whose time has come,” says Gil Kelley of @1000oregon.bsky.social.

PNW Board Member @mrtuckerbaum.bsky.social kicking off our event with @strongtowns.org to kickoff the single stair housing design contest!

Portland: Neighbors Welcome urges City Council to reject the proposed camping ban ordinance. Portland must embrace housing first strategies that offer dignity and respect to our most vulnerable neighbors. Let's house all our neighbors, together.

Interested in learning about how you can become a small real estate developer for a project in your neighborhood? Are you an advocate or local leader looking to encourage better buildings in your community? Join us tomorrow for a lecture hosted by the Incremental Development Alliance!

Fantastic rally to end exclusionary zoning organized by @pnwelcome.bsky.social . Let's create an Inner Eastside with housing choices that work for everyone!

Incredible organizing by @pnwelcome.bsky.social in support of the Inner Eastside for All campaign. It's time to relegate exclusionary zoning to the dustbin of history.

We're rallying TOMORROW for more homes for Portlanders in our most opportunity rich neighborhoods!

Show up at city hall tomorrow morning to support @pnwelcome.bsky.social’s Inner Eastside for All campaign. Build homes, not highways!

Come join us in Portland 6pm TODAY at Steeplejack Brewing! We're meeting up with friends @strongtownspdx.bsky.social and @pnwelcome.bsky.social. All welcome! 2400 NE Broadway, Portland, OR 97232 commongroundorwa.org/current-and-...

Portland, it's time to show up for more homes for our neighbors! We are excited that housing champion and Portland: Neighbors Welcome founding board member @candaceavalos.bsky.social will be a special guest at our rally outside of City Hall at 8:45AM on September 25th.

Join our friends from @strongtownspdx.bsky.social for International Park(ing) Day Sat Sept 20 9 to 3PM They'll be set up in parking spots on 11th & 12th & SE Ankeny. Play games, relax, unwind, & reimagine streets. 10% of sales from nearby Workers Tap will benefit @streetroots.bsky.social!

Congrats to Portland legend @citizen-cate.bsky.social!

I’ll be on a train to Seattle. Wish I could be here!

See you next Thursday, Portland! Portland: Neighbors Welcome and our coalition members will be presenting to the committee about why we need more housing on the Inner Eastside! Let's show that the community is behind Inner Eastside for All!

Time to show up for housing Portland!!! 📣📣📣📣📣 let’s gooooooooooool

Portland: Neighbors Welcome hosted our third annual @shift2bikes.bsky.social Bike Summer Inner Eastside for All ride along with our friends @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social and @strongtownspdx.bsky.social a few weeks ago, with Councilor Tiffany Koyama Lane @councilortkl.bsky.social as our special guest!

now that SB 79 has _actually_ passed, let's do it here too

Similarly if you’re interested in some @pnwelcome.bsky.social buttons + stickers hmu! I’m going to be speaking at “How State Zoning Standards Can Push the Envelope on Local Reform” at 11am on Sunday! Excited to see so many housing folks from around the country let’s goooooo

We are beyond psyched to see our City make welcoming people of all backgrounds an explicit focus area. Let’s keep working together to make Portland a place where everyone has a home and can feel at home.

Congrats to P:NW Board Member Indi Namkoong! This recognition for her work on transportation justice is so well-deserved. We consider ourselves so lucky to have her helping to guide our org. Her wisdom, wit, empathy, and strategic brilliance are invaluable to the fight to make housing a human right.

We love to see it! Many of our members testified for this groundbreaking change in 2021.

In 2021, Portland: Neighbors Welcome organized our volunteer base to support the Shelter to Housing Continuum project, which included reforms to legalize tiny homes on wheels. @sightline.org's @citizen-cate.bsky.social shares the impact it's having - and the affordable homes it's providing.

1200 affordable homes underway across the state oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/orego...

Councilor Avalos has a great thread about the potential for social housing to transform the City of Portland:

Join us for our monthly Happy Hour event on Thursday, September 11th between 6-8pm! We’ll be getting together to talk about all things housing-related in the city and state. This month’s event will be hosted at Rogue Brewing in the Central Eastside (look for us under the tent on the patio).

build baby build

kinda wild how our zoning code never lets us build housing in the quietest neighborhoods, instead forcing new homes along busy, loud streets and highways just one of many reasons to support @pnwelcome.bsky.social's Inner Eastside for All campaign www.axios.com/local/portla...

"But the notion that public housing was destined to fail is a myth—one that has disfigured housing policy for generations. The real story is both simpler and more damning: public housing in the U.S. didn’t fail. Rather, it was actively dismantled" shelterforce.org/2025/08/15/p...
