Organization Information


Organization: CommonBond

Sector: 501C-3 Non-Profit

Organization Mission: Our work comes from a simple notion: Home is the foundation for everything in life. And when life throws a curveball, the home should be a safe place to land — not another source of worry. Having a place to call your own is a basic right for everyone. We were founded in part as a response to racial and economic injustices in the communities we serve. Since the early 1970s, CommonBond Communities has provided homes and supportive services for those most in need. Now, nearly 50 years later, injustices still exist and our mission is more relevant than ever. Our expertise ranges from interacting with officials on complex legislation and developing properties, to making sure a child has a safe place to do homework and caring for homeless populations and veterans. In spite of the obstacles and systems that exist to hold people back, we persevere in order to create equitable housing that’s affordable for all.

CommonBond’s newest senior housing development opened recently in Rochester, Minnesota. Towne Club Senior Apartments provides 40 units of affordable housing for seniors aged 62 and up.

The building is designed to facilitate integration of the senior residents into the surrounding neighborhood and encourage interaction among residents within the development. 

Apartments are designed to accommodate the needs of residents becoming less mobile and the building includes a large community room and kitchen, staff offices, and a number of smaller multi-purpose rooms.

About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
