Tiff Beatty began working with us in early June. Prior to joining our staff as program director, Tiff worked with the Chicago Humanities Festival as the director of programming. In 2019, she was named a Chicago United for Equity Fellow and received the Field Foundation's 2019 Field Leader Award.
A native of the Pacific Northwest, Tiff is also a spoken word artist, emcee, educator, and the founder of Art Is Bonfire, which takes place on the last Sunday of the month (June-September) at Promontory Point Park in Chicago.
What excites Tiff the most about working with NPHM is our mission.
“The story of public housing in the United States is of personal and professional interest to me,” she said. “Without public programs to provide basic necessities like housing, food, and medical care for families living in poverty, I simply would not be here today.”
