BE A GUINEA PIG: EYES ON THE DASHBOARD
Here's a beta version of the Portsmouth Housing Dashboardwe're working on. Use your desktop, laptop, or iPad for best effect. The dashboard tries to makes it easy to quickly see the status of Portsmouth's housing crisis, based on live data. It shows how we're doing against unmet need, what % in the pipeline is affordable, an interactive map with every large project in town, and a detailed list of all housing projects in the works. Send us your honest feedback; it's a work in progress.

WHEN HOUSING INCENTIVES DON'T WORK
RKG’s analysis shows why our current bonus policy backfires and lays out workable fixes—from targeting set-asides to bonus units, to smarter rounding, to realistic inducements—plus a frank look at what state law is (and isn’t) letting us do. See our 1-page takeaway from the meeting.
We run on 1,000+ volunteer hours a year and a very modest budget for outreach via social media and subscriptions for the technology we use. $35 buys a weeklong Facebook ad. Please help keep us going. Thanks!
