This House Is Home:
An Initiative to Advance Affordable Home Ownership
in America
This two year initiative influenced policy debate on housing and
educated the general public about affordable home ownership. "This
House Is Home" began in March 2002 with a mobile gallery in
San Antonio, Texas, that noted photographer Bill Bamberger used
as a community arts laboratory exploring the issue of home affordability.
The resulting photography comprised an exhibit that opened at the
National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., in March 2004. The
initiative's intellectual capstone was a multidisciplinary national
conference on affordable home ownership held on the UNC campus October
30 through November 1, 2003, featuring a keynote address from former
HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros and attendees with a wide variety of
backgrounds.
