Nanceny’s Story

Nanceny’s Story is the story of how the cycle of poverty ends at Bayview. For 50 years, we’ve been providing quality affordable housing, essential services and arts and cultural programming in the heart of Madison.

The Corea family

The Corea family's story is a story of resilience. Jose and Amelia fled violence and poverty in search of a better life in the US. At Bayview, they found a sense of peace and calm, and a supportive community to raise their children.

Their story is told in this short video produced as part of the Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) Living in Balance series.
