Our Priorities

01

Zoning And Land Use Reform

Princeton lacks housing that is affordable to people who would like to live here and contribute to our community. To provide more housing for our neighbors in an environmentally responsible way, we need to reform our zoning and land use rules to permit and prioritize the construction of a diverse housing stock, including more multi-family and affordable housing.

02

Renter Supports and Protections

Making Princeton a more inclusive community requires us to offer assistance and enforce legal protections for our renting households. We support the establishment of relocation assistance funds, a tenants’ association, and eviction diversion programs.

03

Social Housing

Housing is a human right – a basic human need that should be guaranteed for all. We support the provision of shared equity housing and public housing to help accomplish this. Namely, we support the establishment of a community land trust in Princeton along with redevelopment and expansion of public housing in Princeton.
