<blockquote>''In order to meet the demands of our growing city and ensure that future generations of Portlanders can live and thrive here, we need to take advantage of our entire housing area. Single-family zones make up 43% of our housing land supply while multi-dwelling zones cover 8%. Our single-family neighborhoods can provide housing options that improve the quality of life for current and future residents – our teachers, bus drivers, retail clerks, construction workers and students. We believe that RIP is one tool to achieve that vision.'' ''The '''[https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/67728 Residential Infill Project] '''has been amended by the Planning and Sustainability Commission to deliver even more smaller scale, less expensive housing in Portland’s single-family neighborhoods. By offering homeowners and home builders the opportunity to create up to four units on a single-dwelling lot (at a smaller scale and height than is currently allowed), the Residential Infill Project allows the return of attractive, popular and more affordable middle housing types to Portland’s residential neighborhoods.''</blockquote>
= Anti-displacement Action Plan. =
<blockquote>The new '''Anti-displacement Action Plan''' will create a community-led task force to provide leadership on the implementation of anti-displacement policies. Building on the previous work of community organizations, the effort will develop a toolkit of strategies and accountability measures to address the root causes of displacement to inform decision-making and action. The result will be an action plan and formal agreement between City bureaus and community partners that holds us all accountable for positive results as the city continues to grow.</blockquote>
