Providence Urbanist Network

We take action when it comes to housing affordability in PVD! More housing, lower rent!

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

Come to 4th street at Providence Porch Fest today, and let’s talk housing!

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

New homes for @CrossroadsRI in Providence! These apartments will be for those transitioning from homelessness!

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

@coreydrjones @Provydense Please come out to future meetings with Councilwoman Sue Anderbois about this project to voice support!

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

@coreydrjones @Provydense Correct! MHCC will own this building. 12 units, all income restricted, right on the empty plot that RIPTA used to own.

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

@coreydrjones @Provydense Yes. Same people who organized against 103 Evergreen. Kathleen Murphy is leading it.

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

Today PUN canvassed Mt Hope to talk to neighbors about new housing coming to Camp Street and drum up support!

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

PUN stands against this terrible blockage of much needed new affordable housing.

The residents of Rhode Island are experiencing high rents, high housing prices, and high utilities. Rhodies need housing.

[Joe Polisena Jr. @JosephPolisena]

I would like to thank the Johnston Town Council for granting me the authority to go forward with eminent domain on the 252 unit, 100% low-income housing site. Rest assured, we will provide our first responders and residents with the 21st century facilities they deserve.

PUN is posting a public letter to @JosephPolisena in opposition to his attempt to prevent the construction of 255 affordable units in Johnston.

The housing market is connected in all of Rhode Island. Combating the housing crisis is a team effort!

PUN turns out again! A new development is coming to Camp Street with 12 income restricted units to rent.

PUN members spoke at a Mt Hope community meeting on the importance of bringing rents down and making the city affordable to all!

Lets build! 🔨

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

More housing being built on Providence Street in South Providence! From an empty grass lot to future homes for residents!

You love to see it 🏠

[Providence City Council @pvdcitycouncil]

"We're celebrating a comprehensive plan that was shaped by thousands of voices, guided by the experience of residents, and driven to meet the urgent needs our city faces." - City Council President Rachel Miller at the signing of Providence's new comprehensive plan.

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

Thank you @PVDMayor, @pvdcitycouncil and @CityofProv for signing the city’s new Comprehensive Plan today!

PUN members worked endlessly in supporting the up-zoning and parking minimum changes which will help our city grow. We were proud to show support!

Let’s get building!

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

@FoxPointSteve @JohnGPVD The councilman did a very good job of trying to balance community concerns about parking and waterfront access, and recognizing that this project is “by-right,” and that the city needs more housing!

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

Last night PUN members attended @JohnGPVD’s community forum to voice support for a nearly ~300 unit apartment building in Wayland Square.

Steve’s comment couldn’t have said it better: we need housing at ALL price points! 🔨 💰 🏠

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

Tonight PUN members will be showing up to a Ward 1 meeting to voice support for a new housing project around Wayland Square!

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

A new housing development will soon be finished in Fox Point!

A “Now Leasing” sign hangs over the side!

[Providence Urbanist Network @UrbanPVD]

@BillBartholomew Hey Bill - members of PUN would be interested in talking with you about this on your show.
