Working towards a world where housing and higher education are a human right.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, College Unbound, and National Public Housing Museum present storytelling sessions about housing justice and the future of higher education.
Join us for conversations about City Colleges of Chicago’s efforts to end housing and food insecurity, College Unbound’s partnerships and programs to support the learning of housing and house-ers, and college students’ struggles to overcome college debt and achieve home ownership.
Plus, stories from current students on their own experiences advocating for higher ed and housing justice. Before the program, enjoy open hours at the National Public Housing Museum and drinks and bites with fellow community members.
FREE, but space is limited. Please register in advance.
