Every donation stays local and helps neighbors facing temporary financial hardship.

When you think of housing insecurity, you might think of big cities—but right here in Poweshiek County, the struggle is often quiet and invisible. It looks like a family sleeping in their car, a neighbor choosing between buying groceries or paying their electric bill, or a worker unable to save up a down payment for a safe apartment.

The Poweshiek Housing Assistance Fund exists to be the bridge during these hard times. We provide direct financial support for rent, utility bills, down payments, and even emergency short-term hotel vouchers when someone has nowhere else to go.

We can only keep our neighbors safely housed with your help. Every dollar donated goes directly to landlords and utility companies to keep local families safe and warm.

👉 Help us prevent eviction and homelessness in our community. Donate today: https://ahrensfamilyfoundation.org/poweshiek-housing-assistance-fund/
