Housing First Minnesota, the state’s leading voice for homebuilders and remodelers, has recognized 28 Minnesota Legislators as recipients of the 2018 Housing Leadership Awards. The honor recognizes legislators for their efforts throughout the 2018 legislative session to promote housing affordability and homeownership.

“During the 2018 legislative session, these housing leaders played key roles in helping Housing First Minnesota protect the dream of homeownership for future generations,” said David Siegel, executive director of Housing First Minnesota. “Homeownership is too important to our communities to ignore, and these legislators understand that.”

 

“It is always an honor when you are recognized for your work on issues that are important to Minnesota families, and this is no different,” said Senator Bill Weber (R-Luverne), one of the award recipients. “As the chair of the Senate Committee responsible for housing policy, I am proud of our effort, and I hope it results in more people being able to achieve the dream of home ownership and everything that comes with it.”
