Over the years, we have expanded our organization to aid people in 25 Iowa counties thanks to generous donations and strong leadership from our staff and Board of Directors.

Mission Statement

We are ending homelessness by leading with the Housing First approach, driving systemic change through strong community partnerships, and providing individualized support that prioritizes client choice.

Everyone has a home.
