About the role
Department Overview:
Bayview Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides affordable housing and supportive
services to residents living in Madison’s historic Triangle Neighborhood. In the middle of the
neighborhood, Bayview operates a comprehensive community center that offers culturally
relevant and responsive educational, social, recreational, and cultural programs and services to
area residents in need. Programs and services aim to support residents in achieving their
aspirations and helping families to thrive.
After years of in-depth planning with residents and community leaders, Bayview is in its final year of a phased, three year plan to rebuild the 6.4 acre property. By early 2025, the new Bayview will feature 130 apartment and townhouse units, providing affordable, dignified housing for up to 500 residents. The campus also features a stunning new neighborhood center that serves the entire neighborhood with programming in the following areas: food access; youth development and education; adult education and skill advancement; social work and resource navigation; senior meals and wellness; art and cultural programs.
