This spring, Madison Commons partnered with UW–Madison’s School of Journalism & Mass Communication to launch a new kind of journalism project—one grounded in collaboration, trust, and the lived realities of Madisonians facing housing insecurity. Throughout the semester, Team Housing student reporters embedded with five local organizations to tell the deeper story of Madison’s housing crisis — and the people working to fix it. To read an overview of Team Housing’s work, funding, and collaborative community journalism practice from our publisher and Team Housing’s project lead, Sue Robinson, please click here.

We’ll continue this work during the 2025-26 academic year, so please check back often for new reporting.
