The Resilience Agenda

2023 legislative agenda

  • Three people planting flowers in a flower bed outside a brick building, with gardening tools and plant pots around.

    PASSED: Community Resilience Hubs

    OJTA’s 2020 Listening Tour led us to focus on community needs to recover from and prepare for climate-related disasters such as wildfires, droughts, and floods. This year, we advocate for the creation of essential infrastructure that protects our most vulnerable communities from climate harms.

    PASSED: Affordable, Abundant Housing

    Many people in Oregon struggle to find a home they can afford in a neighborhood with good-paying jobs, green spaces, and walkable neighborhoods. It doesn’t have to be this way. We advocate for increasing the number of affordable homes built in our state while making sure they are built in a way that will most benefit frontline communities.

    PASSED: Building Resilience Package

    Building resilience means building smart from the start, so new homes and buildings run on clean energy. It also means electrification and efficiency upgrades to make them healthier, more affordable, and better for the environment. Moving toward clean energy and away from methane “natural” gas is a win-win-win for Oregonians.
