Orlando Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost, a Democrat, recently accepted the Bruce F. Vento Award at the National Homelessness Law Center’s 2024 Annual Human Rights to Housing Awards.
This award recognizes individuals and institutions with proven leadership in the fight to end homelessness and poverty. It celebrates the legacy of the late Congressman Bruce F. Vento, whose advocacy left a positive impact in the fight to help Americans experiencing homelessness.
“I came to Congress with a mission to fight for a nation where housing is not just a commodity but a fundamental human right, and to receive this recognition within my first term is both humbling and a reminder of the work still ahead,” said Democratic Representative Maxwell Frost. “Thank you to the National Homelessness Law Center for this honor and your unwavering commitment to this cause. Now more than ever, the work we are doing to build a future where no one is left behind, where no one is punished for their poverty, and where housing is a reality for all—not just a privilege for some, is more important than ever.”
Earlier this year, Congressman Frost also received the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s 50th Anniversary Emerging Leader Award for the Central Florida Representative’s trailblazing work in Congress and his efforts to advance legislation promoting racial equity and housing justice for all.
