This home build, as well as two other builds, has been supported, in whole or in part, by federal award number 21.027 to the State of Iowa by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The referenced award was a result of the American Rescue Plan Act. This was a unique opportunity provided to Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the state of Iowa, thanks to the work of Habitat of Iowa, the state support organization for local affiliates.
Habitat’s affordable home-ownership program is a long-term solution to the current affordable housing crisis. Habitat partner families must complete a minimum of 250 volunteer hours of sweat equity and attend mandatory home-ownership preparation classes with the support of a volunteer mentor. When their home build is finished, partner families purchase the home from Habitat with affordable monthly payments on a zero-interest mortgage.
