The National Public Housing Museum received a $409,752 Project Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services' (IMLS) Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) program. The grant supports the museum's development of a participatory exhibition and public programming that explores the role of music in the development of public housing communities, and the role of these communities in the creation and celebration of music. The exhibition and programming will be co-curated with current and former public housing residents, and will feature the stories of musicians who lived in public housing as well as showcase the music and dance of public housing artists. The project aims to advance understanding of public housing communities' contributions, develop reciprocity and trust, activate community memory, and support public housing resident musicians. The project will be completed by February 28, 2026.
