The André Apartments in Madison, Wisconsin
We were honored to attend the grand opening of The André Apartments in Madison, Wisconsin last fall, alongside our member IFF and partners Movin' Out, Inc., and Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA). This incredible 70,000-square-foot property, which received funding through our Affordable Housing Program (AHP), features 38 housing units, with nine specifically designated for residents with disabilities.
The ground floor of this property features an Early Childhood Education (ECE) center operated by Red Caboose. With the new facility, Red Caboose has been able to triple its enrollment and offer more comprehensive programming. The ECE center includes flexible community rooms, a commercial kitchen, multiple classrooms, and a nature-based playground.
