Our mission is to build more homes in Rhode Island so that our friends, family, and neighbors can afford to live in the Ocean State.

Rhode Island builds the fewest new homes of any state, per capita, a lack of supply that drives up prices and pushes people out of their communities, or even into homelessness. The state’s outdated laws make it difficult to increase homebuilding in response to demand.

In response, we at Neighbors Welcome:

· Advocate for reforms that would help Rhode Islanders to build more homes

· Research how a strong and sustainable housing market can improve residents’ quality of life

· Recruit, train, and support residents advocating for more homes in their city or town.
