The CSH office in Minnesota joined with other affordable and supportive housing advocates for an informational session with US Senator Al Franken (MN) this past Saturday. The purposes of this meeting were to highlight projects that connect housing with integrated health and social services, and to explore opportunities to build on and expand this type of work throughout the nation.
As a result of the meeting, Senator Franken has committed to return to Washington, DC and begin some cross-party conversations with his colleagues, US Senator Collins (ME) and Senator Bill Cassidy (LA), in an effort to engage policymakers and collaborate on priority actions that will promote ideal integrated health/housing services at the federal level.
