Data Center Reform Fund
It’s clear that Oregon communities need stronger oversight tools to hold data center development accountable. That’s where we come in. 1000 Friends of Oregon is launching the Data Center Reform Fund to support legal advocacy, public-interest coordination, and community oversight in response to the rapid expansion of data center development across Oregon.
Together for an Affordable Portland

Housing Solutions Center
