POLICY IDEAS

Our Ideas for Portsmouth

In 2025, by way the most important challenge facing our city is the lack of affordable housing for all but the affluent. We are entirely focused on advocacy that will urge the City government to intensify and accelerate its efforts to address this crisis. The demographics of our city are changing with every new real estate transaction. Most severly affected are the 50% of our residents who rent their homes. Every month, more residents become rent-burdened. Some are forced to leave the city and those who would like to live here are hard-pressed to get a foot on the bottom rung of the ladder.

If you would like to stay up to date on the housing issue and how the city is addressing it, or not, you can sign up for our regular Housing Update newsletters here.
