Facing Eviction and Housing Insecurity: Listening to Community Voices
Sunday, April 23, 2-4 pm, Main Library, Eichelberger Forum
The Facing Project will present a theatrical performance of stories about eviction and housing insecurity from those in our community who have experienced it.
Registration for this event is also suggested.
About EVICTED: Because a family facing eviction is a devastating event in a long chain of problems, the National Building Museum created an exhibit in response to this national crisis. Inspired by the Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name by Matthew Desmond, the exhibit ran from April 2018 to May 2019. Since then, the Museum created a touring exhibit, with current data, that has been visiting smaller venues. DML is proud to be the last stop on its tour.
