Stable homes. Strong futures. Vibrant communities. A safe, stable, and affordable home is the foundation for everything in life. It’s the place where each person can find what they need to meet their goals and build their best life. In other words, a CommonBond community. CommonBond is an affordable housing nonprofit organization that creates communities throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and South Dakota to help people of all ages and walks of life meet their goals and thrive. With five decades of working with vulnerable populations as an affordable housing organization, we know that when people have stability in their homes, children do better in school, teens graduate, adults find jobs with wages to support their families, and older adults maintain their independence. For those experiencing poverty, access to affordable housing is the most fundamental indicator of long-term success. And more importantly, for each of these people, lack of access to a home can be overwhelming, and potentially isolating. This is why we’ve built a comprehensive approach to affordable housing, creating proactive partnerships with CommonBond residents to help them navigate complex systems that disrupt positive outcomes. This array of life-changing programs and services demonstrates time and time again that, given the right opportunities, every person can flourish. Supporting our residents is so much more than building stronger economic outcomes for the neighborhoods we work with; it’s the right thing to do. Programming is available to all CommonBond residents and is tied to four strategic priorities: Stability & Independence; Health and Wellness; Education & Advancement; and Community Building & Engagement.
