Housing in Action is Building More Community in Minneapolis

In this episode of RECkoning with Real Estate, REC agent Meghan Howard sits down with AsaleSol Young, Executive Director of Housing in Action in Minneapolis.

Listen in to explore Housing in Action’s mission to build not just housing, but community. From developing and owning apartments, advancing policy work, to creating pathways to homeownership, Housing in Action operates from a clear belief that housing and “home” is a human right. As AsaleSol shares, “stabilization is foundational,” and that principle shapes everything they do.

Learn about Housing in Action’s “Homeownership Pathway Program,” which connects individuals not just to a house, but to a supportive community that helps them to thrive. With more than 100 homes built across Minneapolis and new efforts underway, like a housing cooperative and cluster developments, this much-needed conversation highlights what it looks like to create lasting, community-centered change.
