Awards

Community Partners Award

In April of 2004, the Alliance was awarded a Community Partners award from the Minneapolis Urban League, "in recognition of steadfast partnership and ongoing collaboration with the Minneapolis Urban League in providing service to our community."  The Urban League has recently asked the Alliance to make a presentation to their community leaders regarding Equitable Development approaches.

National Smart Growth Award

In 2000 the Alliance's Inclusionary Housing campaign was selected by the National Neighborhood Coalition (NNG) as one of fifteen Communities Leading the Way Case Studies, a national report of its Neighborhoods, Regions, and Smart Growth project.  Our campaign was recognized as an excellent example of community-level involvement in regional growth issues.  The Alliance competed in a field of nearly 170 organizations that submitted nominations.  The purpose of NNG's project is to call attention to innovative, community-level efforts that bring the benefits of smart growth to low-income neighborhoods and communities of color.
