1000 Friends of Oregon is a public policy organization based in Portland that focuses on land use planning and its effects across the state. Founded in 1975 by Governor Tom McCall and Henry Richmond, it began as a citizen watchdog to ensure local decisions reflect Oregonians' voices rather than special interests. Carrying forward this mandate, the organization defends productive Oregon landscapes and promotes the qualities of community, economy, and environment that those landscapes sustain.

With statewide reach, it engages communities from Eugene and Portland to Bend, La Grande, and Ashland to shape land use outcomes. A recent development is the launch of the Housing Solutions Center, a public online resource that translates housing data, policy, and land use laws into an advocacy toolkit communities can use.
