CHA Seniors Visit the National Public Housing Museum

CHA seniors from Minnie Riperton Apartments enjoyed a memorable field trip to the National Public Housing Museum (NPHM), where history came alive through stories, exhibits, and the voices of passionate leaders.

NPHM Board Member Crystal Palmer and Executive Director Lisa Lee welcomed the group, sharing how this long-awaited project became a reality in the last remaining building of the Jane Addams Homes.

As part of the day, seniors received a beautiful limited-edition blanket designed by Chicago artist Liz Flores, whose work celebrates belonging, womanhood, and human connection. After the guided tour, residents returned home for a delicious lunch — filled with smiles, conversation, and a deep appreciation for the experience.
