SENATOR MILLS HONORED WITH MAE STREET KIDD PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD
FRANKFORT, KY (Aug. 27, 2025) – Sen. Robby Mills, R-Henderson, was honored with the Mae Street Kidd Public Service Award at the Kentucky Affordable Housing Conference, August 20–21 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center in Covington.
The award, presented by Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC), recognizes elected officials who demonstrate exceptional leadership in advancing affordable housing opportunities. Mills received the honor for his work as co-chair of the Kentucky Housing Task Force, which was created in 2024 to address Kentucky’s growing housing shortage.
The task force was formed after KHC released its Kentucky Housing Supply Gap Analysis showing the state needed more than 200,000 homes to meet current demand. Under Mills’s leadership, the committee brought together experts, gathered testimony, and produced a comprehensive report outlining strategies to expand housing supply and improve affordability. The committee reconvened this summer to continue its work.
“I am humbled to receive this award and proud of the work our task force has accomplished,” said Mills. “Housing is the foundation of strong communities, and I will continue working to ensure Kentucky families have greater opportunities to find safe and affordable places to call home.”
The Mae Street Kidd Public Service Award is named in honor of the late Rep. Mae Street Kidd, a pioneering legislator and civil rights leader who championed housing, education, and economic opportunity in Kentucky.
