Our Mission
Common Wealth Development revitalizes and sustains Madison neighborhoods through safe and affordable housing, sustainable land use, business incubation, and meaningful adult and youth workforce development with a human-centered approach rooted in racial equity and community well-being.
Our Vision
We envision thriving communities supported through common wealth, where every resident has the resources to build fulfilling lives, and our neighbors have the collective power to shape their own futures free from violence.
Our Values
Common wealth, not commonwealth.
Local investments at the grassroots level sustain social diversity and grow wealth that belongs to the many, not the few.
Common wealth,
not commonwealth.
Local investments at the grassroots level sustain social diversity and grow wealth that belongs to the many, not the few.
Community is a verb.
We build and make community. The voices of the community lead the solutions in everything we do.
Prevention, not reaction.
Improving collective well-being disrupts the conditions that produce violence.
Thriving, not surviving.
People have what they need to build fulfilling lives and pursue their dreams.
The spirit of Common Wealth is love and love for community.
- Justice Castañeda, Executive Director
