Housing and Community Development

The last remaining building of the Jane Addams Homes is the biggest artifact in the National Public Housing Museum's collection. Architectural encounters that invite the public to reimagine a more inclusive future of the preservation field, worker cooperatives to build a solidarity economy, contemporary art that grapples with history and unleashes radical imaginations about our collective futures, everyday objects and labels written by public housing residents, cultural work that contributes to more just public policies and reparations, collective joy and civic love. Learn about the work of the National Public Housing Museum and how a cultural institution contributes to the ongoing struggle for housing as a human right.
