The new community was built on a vacant lot located in the Grandview Commons neighborhood on the east side of Madison, south of Milwaukee street and east of interstate 90, just a few miles from downtown.
‘This is an important day here in Madison, where so many community partners have helped bring affordable, quality, new homes for working families,” said Wisconsin Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes, who helped lead the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “This beautiful new community is a model for how we can support families and bring innovative thinking to how we support them as they build a brighter future.”
“Together with our outstanding partners, WHEDA is continuing its mission to build quality, safe, affordable housing in the city of Madison and Dane County,” said WHEDA Board Chair Ivan Gamboa. “Harmony has a very urbanist feel to its design and has integrated on-site services that are very appealing for residents.”
“At UnitedHealthcare, we understand that some of the greatest barriers to better health are not clinical issues, but rather social and financial barriers, such as access to safe and affordable housing,” said Ellen Sexton, CEO of UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Wisconsin. “We are partnering with other socially minded organizations that understand the value of good health, and how public-private partnerships like these can succeed in helping make a positive impact in our communities.”
