announced in spring 2019 by City of Portland, and Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, is a bundling of programs including two residential code update projects -- '''Better Housing by Design Project''', and '''Residential Infill Project (RIP)''' -- and the '''Anti-displacement Action Plan'''.
= Better Housing by Design
<blockquote>''"We know we need more multi-unit housing. These buildings and our mixed-use corridors will accommodate most of the population growth over the next two decades. And they’ll be housing not just single millennials – but families with children and a higher proportion of people of color. We need to design multi-unit buildings with them in mind. And Better Housing by Design begins to do that.'' ''"The [https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/71903 '''Better Housing by Design Project'''] ensures that new multi-family construction will provide more comfortable, healthy and family-friendly units with diverse housing options, safe and attractive outdoor spaces, as well as better pedestrian connections to neighbors and streets. An affordable housing bonus provides an incentive to create even more housing for Portland’s lower income households." '' [City of Portland 2019]</blockquote> ▼

see main article: [[Residential_Infill_Project|Residential_Infill_Project]].
<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>
