$1 Million Donation to the National Public Housing Museum Will Help Illuminate Public Housing’s Formative Role in the American Experience
Amplifying the voices and stories of current and former public housing residents — a central focus of the Chicago-based National Public Housing Museum— will be made possible by a $1 million donation from the Joseph and Bessie Feinberg Foundation. The funds will support a permanent exhibition showcasing diverse public housing residents’ everyday objects. Paired with captions in their owners’ own words the show will illuminate how seemingly ordinary items can and have had a significant and often transformative impact on their lives
