“If you want to stabilize these neighborhoods, you really need to get people working and get some decent, affordable housing,” said John Wroten, a community organizer for Common Wealth (left, in photo). “With people living in poverty, they need to meet their daily needs.”
Common Wealth now has a total of 20 affordable housing units in the Meadowood neighborhood. About 1 in 4 of Common Wealth’s residents are disabled, 1 in 3 are people of color, and about half are families.
