​AICHO Executive Director LeAnn Littlewolf received the Minnesota Housing Partnership Outstanding Advocate Award and was recognized along with statewide housing advocate champions, including Governor Walz, key legislators including Representative Liish Kozlowski, and long-time housing champion Henry Banks, Duluth School Board member. LeAnn has worked in building a response to housing needs since 2000, working directly with youth on the streets living in housing crisis, as a Tribal housing organizer, and policy advocate. She has served on different statewide and local policy groups throughout the years. This past year, LeAnn joined the political committee for the Our Future Starts At Home, a campaign to ensure dedicated housing funding secured through a constitutional amendment. On receiving the award, LeAnn had this to say: “It is an honor to stand in a field of advocates in Minnesota who work their hearts out to move policies and resources to create housing in Minnesota. We are building a Minnesota that speaks through our actions that we will not rest until everyone has a home.”
