Another home on the move! 🚛🏠

Our move crew is awesome and makes moving a home look easy! Moving a house takes planning, precision, teamwork, and a whole lot of skill. From the building site to communities across Iowa, it’s always impressive to watch these homes hit the road.

Every move represents more than just a house delivery, it’s another opportunity for housing, workforce development, and a fresh start for an Iowa family and community.

This home was moved to the City of Rock Valley to replace a flood damaged home during the 2024 flooding disaster. We are thankful we could partner with the owner to rebuild on the property.

Today we remember.

On this Memorial Day, Homes for Iowa honors the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice allows us to live, work, and build stronger communities together.

As we reflect on their courage, we’re reminded that every home we build represents a piece of what they fought for — opportunity, stability, and hope for a better future.

We honor their memory and express our deepest gratitude.

This week’s showcases an incredible part of our process — craning a Homes for Iowa home into place.

By working with skilled third-party crane operators, we’re able to deliver homes efficiently and safely, even on difficult or unique lots. This flexibility allows us to serve more communities statewide and keep costs affordable for buyers.

From the Newton Correctional Facility build site to foundations all across Iowa — every lift represents another step toward building careers, homes, and second chances.

🏠 – Left or Right? You Choose!

Every Homes for Iowa floor plan is available in both left- and right-hand layouts, giving buyers flexibility to fit their lot, lifestyle, or future plans. It’s one of the few customization options we offer — but it makes a big difference in helping each home truly feel like your home.

Whether it’s to match your driveway location, take advantage of the sunlight, or plan for a future addition, this small but meaningful option helps each home fit both the land and the life it’s built for.

Honored to attend and speak at Leadership Iowa last week about one of Iowa’s most critical challenges: HOUSING! 🏠

We were joined by Iowa State University Extension Community and Economic Development and Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity to chat about how housing impacts workforce attraction and retention, economic growth, healthcare, schools, and the long-term sustainability of communities across our state.

Simply put: 🏠 Housing = 👩‍💼 Jobs and 🦾 Stronger Communities.

Solving Iowa’s housing challenges will take collaboration between leaders, investors, employers, developers, and communities working together toward practical solutions.

📣 👏 We’re proud that Homes for Iowa can be part of that effort by helping create attainable housing opportunities while supporting workforce development and second chances across Iowa.

🏠Communities across Iowa are facing housing challenges that no single organization can solve alone. It takes local leaders, employers, schools, developers, nonprofits, lenders, and community stakeholders all sitting at the same table — planning together for long-term solutions.

We appreciate the Economic Development and everyone involved in bringing stakeholders together to have these important conversations around housing, workforce needs, and community growth. Forums like this are exactly where meaningful progress begins.

At Homes for Iowa, we believe attainable housing is one important piece of that puzzle helping communities create quality workforce housing opportunities while also supporting job training and second chances through our program.

If your community is interested in organizing a housing planning session, stakeholder forum, or discussion around attainable housing solutions, we would love to be part of the conversation.

Because solving Iowa’s housing challenges takes partnership, collaboration, and communities willing to plan for the future together.
