RELEASE: Rep. Robbins Receives Housing Leadership Award

Wednesday, June 12, 2019

MAPLE GROVE – Housing First Minnesota has recognized State Representative Kristen Robbins (R-Maple Grove) with its 2019 Housing Leadership Award.

“We thank you for your efforts and look forward to continuing to work with you to find solutions that can positively impact Minnesotans by finding the reasonable balance of safety, resource protection and housing affordability,” said David Siegel, Executive Director of Housing First Minnesota.

According to the organization, the award recognizes Rep. Robbins’ “commitment to a vibrant housing market that ties together the communities of our great state. Additionally, it recognizes your work throughout the 2019 legislative session to promote homeownership in communities people love, at a price families can afford.”

"I am honored to be a recipient of the Housing Leadership Award," said Rep. Robbins. "As a former member of a State Working Group on Chronic Homelessness, I have long been concerned about affordability and stability for families and communities. We are seeing a rise in homelessness in other parts of the country and need to address issues that raise the cost of housing and make it hard for families to achieve the American dream."

Housing First Minnesota has a membership of more than 1,200 homebuilding, remodeling, and associated industry businesses.
