About the Exhibit * Booking Information
			Housing in Texas: A Living Crisis - Texas Solutions is an educational exhibit created in 1998-99 by Texas Low Income Housing Information Service (TxLIHIS), the state's foremost public research, educational and consumer organization working for affordable housing for low-income people in Texas. The purpose of the exhibit is to provide the general public with an in-depth introduction to the realities of low-income housing by combining documentary images with clear information and an informed perspective. The exhibit consists of twelve double-sided panels, designed and produced by museum consultants and some of the states' finest documentary photographers including Alan Pogue, Patricia Moore, and Lillian Salcedo. The photographs and text describe the housing problems faced by low-income Texans while highlighting the stories of successful grassroots directed housing programs that are providing creative solutions to these problems.
			Description of the Exhibition: Twenty Five double-sided 6 by 3 foot educational panels and didactics which include information on both the problems and solutions of the housing crisis in Texas. Through the eyes of the state's finest documentary artists the viewer is taken through striking and unsettling images of Texas and Texans living with the reality of inadequate housing. These photographs also illustrate the more uplifting elements of the housing situation. Half of the panels tell the story of successful grassroots directed housing programs that have improved the problems of housing chronicled in the exhibit.
