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.”

 

“Nothing encapsulates the American Dream quite like owning your own home — the work that goes into it; the sacrifices it requires, and the pride that follows,” said Senator John Jasinski (R-Faribault), one of the award recipients. “This is what America is all about. I am honored to be recognized for our work promoting home ownership this year, and I hope that it helps more hard working men and women achieve their own American dream.”
