Look out from Neighborhood House at its Mills Street neighbors and you’ll see the hard-used, bikes-on-the-porch kind of housing that says “college students.”
“We’re surrounded by student housing,” says Zanna Majerle, executive director of the community center that has served Madison’s storied Greenbush area for 93 years. “Our neighborhood has moved away.”
The evolution of the neighborhood poses funding challenges for the center, and its leaders are looking to its location near campus, just a half-mile from Camp Randall Stadium, for a solution.
