‘Evicted’ exhibition in Chicago humanizes the housing crisis
For millions in the U.S. and around the world, access to a safe, reliable, and permanent home remains out of reach.
Thousands of Chicagoans — tens of thousands by one measure — are experiencing homelessness in Chicago. The city continues struggling to find shelter for the more than 35,000 migrants who have arrived in Chicago since August 2022. And more than half of U.S. tenants can’t afford their rent.
Evicted, a new exhibition at the National Public Housing Museum in Chicago brings visitors into the crisis of low-income renter eviction, shining a light on national policies and tenants’ rights.
Reset goes behind the scenes of the exhibition and learns more about its call to action.
GUEST: Lisa Yun Lee, executive director, National Public Housing Museum
