The Museum is proud to receive the support of The Kresge Foundation for our efforts to dismantle structural inequities through the arts, culture, and community-engaged design.
“The work of the National Public Housing Museum aligns with our mission to support cultural organizations as vital community hubs,” said Michelle Johnson, program officer for The Kresge Foundation’s Arts & Culture Program. “By using storytelling, public art and community history exploration as a means to chronicle and analyze issues around housing insecurity, NPHM is developing creative approaches to empower residents to lead, change and restore wellness in their communities. The museum’s deep focus on the empowerment of public housing tenants in their own neighborhoods, and using Creative Placemaking strategies to impact affordable housing policies throughout Chicago, is work we’re very proud to support.”
