RECkoning with Real Estate – Ep. 28, Pt 2 of 2: Housing in Action is Building Community in Minneapolis

In this episode of RECkoning with Real Estate, we’re once again joined by AsaleSol Young, Executive Director of Housing in Action. This week, we explore another side of Housing in Action’s work – their ever-important legislative and policy efforts. Learn about Housing in Action’s deep understanding of the economic pressures and safety concerns of renters, and how housing policy and development decisions really do shape the landscape of renting here in the Twin Cities.

As we discussed in Part One (linked below), Housing in Action takes a holistic, community-centered approach to housing. In this episode, AsaleSol shares how the organization listens closely to the needs, concerns, and hopes of the community members they serve, ensuring their work supports long-term stability and security. From housing support to new initiatives like homeowner education and other projects aimed at building sustainability for future generations, Housing in Action continues to focus on what it truly takes to create lasting community.
