Share Your Story
What stories do you have to share about public housing? Not enough people know about the fashion shows at Cabrini-Green in the 1970s in Chicago or the neighborhood watch at Techwood in Atlanta in the 1990s. Your memories can join our growing collection of oral histories! Fill out the form at the link below and someone will contact you about recording an oral history interview.
#FeelingAtHome Open Call and Campaign

Join our #FeelingAtHome campaign in partnership with My Projects Runway, and celebrate the brilliant efforts of public housing residents to create a lot from a little.
Beyond the conventional exteriors of public housing buildings, there are often apartment units with unique and carefully curated interiors. Colorful fabrics and decor transform the monotony of brick and concrete buildings, green paint, and other public housing elements that residents don’t have a say in.

Post your photo of your stylish public housing home interior, past or present, on social media and tag @thenphm and @my.projectsrunway, and use #FeelingAtHome. Or, submit here.
