Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity of Iowa brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
Habitat for Humanity of Iowa is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all. Habitat makes homeownership a reality for low income families (incomes are 30% to 60% of median income) living in substandard housing by selling at 0% interest, community sponsored and volunteer built/rehabilitated homes to families unable to secure a traditional mortgage from a financial institution. Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. AmeriCorps members in our program lead new home construction and neighborhood revitalization projects to increase organizational capacity at HFH locations across Iowa, primarily by engaging more community volunteers. Members assist affiliates through recruitment, management and retention of volunteers as well as increasing the affiliate's organizational capacity to serve more families by recruiting and managing eligible families and developing organizational systems and procedures.
