Things you can do online

• Help Shape the Future of SR-161!

  Zone In Columbus is updating the zoning map along SR-161/E. Dublin-Granville Road in Northland to support smart growth, create walkable communities, and expand opportunities for new housing and small businesses. This update will introduce modern zoning regulations that reflect community needs while establishing a fair, predictable, and accessible process for all.

  We value your input. Explore the proposal and share your feedback to help shape the future of the SR-161 corridor. (Survey available 3/11 - 5/10)

• (National) Participate in a National Day of Action - Urge Congress to Protect HUD Programs and Staff
  Communities across the country rely on HUD funding for critical housing and homelessness programs, but the Trump administration plans to terminate half of all HUD staff. This will make it impossible communities to access congressionally approved federal investments needed to address their most pressing housing and homelessness challenges.

  Contact your senators and representatives and urge them to protect HUD programs and staff, and click here to add your organization to a national letter to Congress on this issue!
