Leaving Chicago this morning filled with inspiration after attending the National Public Housing Museum’s inaugural, “A Place to Call Home” gala. Legendary rapper Roxanne Shanté (and former resident of the Queensbridge Houses) emceed our memorable sold-out event at Morgan Manufacturing in Chicago’s West Loop. We had a blast raising funds in anticipation of our long-awaited grand opening and permanent museum home. If you want to learn more and/or support the only cultural institution devoted to telling the story of public housing in the United States, visit the NPHM site at: https://lnkd.in/ey4At7Qr #PublicHousing #AffordableHousing #NPHM #Chicago #MorganMFG

We're just days away from our A Place to Call Home Gala. We're excited to honor Power of Place awardee, Kimberly Foxx, a former resident of Cabrini-Green Homes and Cook County State’s Attorney. Did you know that we have Kim's oral history recording in our Oral History Archive? In the future, you’ll be able to listen to her memories of growing up in Cabrini-Green Homes on our website, home to the nation’s largest collection of public housing residents’ oral histories! In the meantime, here's a clip!
We're thrilled to announce this year's Civic Love & Demand the Impossible Awardees for our A Place to Call Home Gala! Both Mr. Driehaus and the Driehaus Foundation’s early commitment to community empowerment and cultural preservation have made a deeply meaningful impact on our mission and we cannot wait to honor them. Mr. Driehaus and the Driehaus Foundation began funding the museum the year it became incorporated in 2007 and gave general operating support, allowing the museum to grow and adapt. Former Driehaus Foundation Program Officer and friend of the National Public Housing Museum Richard Cahan remembers, “Their support during those first years was essential to keep the fledgling museum operating.”
