Habitat For Humanity Of Iowa, Inc.

Habitat for Humanity of Iowa, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing affordable housing solutions across the state of Iowa. Registered in SAM.gov since 2006, the organization focuses on addressing housing challenges for low-income communities through various housing development and financial assistance programs. As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), Habitat for Humanity of Iowa works to expand affordable housing access, generate volunteer involvement, and strengthen community development efforts in both rural and urban areas of Iowa.

The organization has received multiple federal grant awards primarily from the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, including project grants totaling $675,000 between 2020 and 2024. These grants have supported technical assistance, COVID-19 economic impact response, and organizational capacity building. Habitat for Humanity of Iowa has engaged in significant housing development work through sub-grant partnerships with the Iowa Finance Authority and Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service. Their AmeriCorps program has been particularly notable, with annual goals of deploying 36-42 members to develop and repair affordable housing, with targets of constructing or repairing 100-200 housing units annually and leveraging thousands of volunteers. The sub-grants typically focus on homebuyer acquisition, with specific allocations like 13 HOME-assisted housing units, and emphasize economic opportunity through housing development initiatives.
