MADISON, Wis., July, 28, 2025 — The City of Madison recently celebrated the completion of six new townhomes on Theresa Terrace, bringing much-needed affordable housing to the city’s west side. Replacing two aging and long-vacant duplexes, the new three-bedroom homes—each over 2,000 square feet—are permanently affordable to households earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income. This redevelopment reflects years of collaboration between the Community Development Authority (CDA), city leaders, and neighborhood residents, with strong support from Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway and Alder Barbara Harrington-McKinney.
Lutheran Social Services is proud to be managing these properties on behalf of the Madison Revitalization and Community Development Corporation (MRCDC), the CDA’s nonprofit partner. This project, funded in part by the City’s Affordable Housing Fund, not only showcases the potential for “missing middle” housing in established neighborhoods but also represents a concrete step toward building a more inclusive and economically diverse Madison. The first families are expected to move in within the next month.
