Lauren Marie Lefebvre (born 17.XI.1693 AN) is a New Alexandrian politician and urban planner serving as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development since 1739 AN. A member of the Federal Humanist Party, she has represented Islas de la Libertad in the Federal Assembly since 1739 AN. Born and raised in Ciudad de Howard, Lefebvre studied urban planning at the University of Punta Santiago and worked as a city planner for the Ciudad de Howard municipal government from 1715 AN to 1725 AN, where she developed expertise in zoning reform, affordable housing development, and transit-oriented development. Her innovative approaches to increasing housing supply through regulatory reform and public-private partnerships earned her recognition as one of the Federation's leading housing policy experts.
Lefebvre was elected Mayor of Ciudad de Howard in 1729 AN on a platform of making the city more affordable for working families. During her two terms as mayor (1729 AN–1739 AN), she implemented aggressive housing reforms including streamlined permitting processes, zoning code modernization to allow higher-density development near transit corridors, inclusionary zoning requirements for new developments, and creation of a municipal land bank to facilitate affordable housing construction. Her administration also pioneered mixed-income housing developments that integrated subsidized units within market-rate projects, reducing concentration of poverty while expanding affordable housing stock. By the end of her tenure, Ciudad de Howard had been recognized as the most affordable major city in Nouvelle Alexandrie, with housing costs as a percentage of median income declining by 23% despite strong population growth. Her success attracted national attention and made her a sought-after advisor on housing policy.
When her second term as mayor concluded in 1739 AN, Lefebvre was elected Deputy in the 1739 general elections as part of the Federal Humanist Party slate from Islas de la Libertad. Premier Juan Pablo Jimenez immediately appointed her as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. As Secretary, Lefebvre has focused on replicating successful elements of the Ciudad de Howard model at the federal level, including incentive programs for regional governments to reform restrictive zoning codes, federal financing mechanisms for affordable housing development, and coordination between housing policy and transportation infrastructure investment. Her tenure has emphasized increasing housing supply through regulatory reform and market-based solutions. She has worked closely with the Department of Civil Works and Transportation on transit-oriented development initiatives and with regional governments on implementation of federal housing programs.
