Planning to Stay P2S is a multi-year collaborative effort organizing a grassroots coalition of local stakeholders to create and advance an equity based development narrative and subsequent planning policies in Orange NJ. Over the last two years P2S has grown from the idea of a few organizations mobilizing stakeholders into a resident-led coalition guided by a 10-person steering committee developing equitable policy proposals and demanding to be heard in public forums. With technical support and guidance from the HUUB and its partners the steering committee and coalition are fighting to stay in Orange actively working to slow displacement while both protecting and supporting existing tenants homeowners and small businesses. P2S has benefited many communities in Orange easily reaching hundreds of residents.
