Aging and physical disabilities create unique shelter needs that are too often unmet. Barriers to obtaining safe, decent shelter are especially significant for those with insufficient income. Under our Helping Hands program, we work to lower these barriers and meet the shelter needs of seniors and physically disabled residents of Cedar, Iowa, Johnson, and Washington Counties by overseeing affordable home repairs and modifications.
In Support of Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity
We envision a world in which each person has a decent place to live. Locally, we partner with both current and future homeowners, local businesses, residents, and social service organizations to construct and renovate safe, decent, affordable housing in Cedar, Iowa, Johnson, Louisa, and Washington Counties. We also secure affordable financing so that homeowners in our program save thousands of dollars over the life of their mortgage. Globally, we work to remove barriers to decent housing by supporting Global Village trips and tithing to Habitat for Humanity global builds. Together with our community, Habitat homeowners gain the strength, stability, and self-reliance needed to build better lives and stronger communities.
