Preserving, promoting, and propelling the right of all people to a place where they can live and prosper - a place to call home - the National Public Housing Museum found its own permanent home in 2025. Located in the last remaining building of the Hanes Addams Homes public housing complex, this new institution brings together exhibitions and apartment tours through powerful storytelling centered on housing justice and how we imagine the future. Tour these remarkable spaces and hear the inside perspective from Executive Director Lisa Lee and Lead Exhibition Designer Amy Reichert about the design decisions and building process over the years that brought the museum into reality.
