🏘️ Housing is one of our agency's three focus areas. While the need is HUGE in southeast Iowa, we continue to help people and change lives in regard to their housing. 🏘️

Sometimes changes are small and sometimes they are big. Sometimes it takes a small amount of effort while at other times changes are seen over time, after much effort, collaboration, and money is spent.

Find more information about housing help on our Resource Webpage: https://caofseia.org/resources/
