-
Over 45% of households in Iowa are spending more than 30% of their income on housing costs.
-
We have the lowest housing stock of the past 10 years.
-
There’s a shortage of over 57,000 homes for extremely low-income renters.
-
Mortgage rates are near 8%.
-
2,653 individuals on a single given night in 2023 were homeless.
For those reasons and many more, we're reaching out to Iowans to hold conversations with them about how they feel about hosuing in their community! We need more action on housing issues locally, statewide, and definitely federally, but we don't just need action. We need action rooted in what communities are saying they need. So we're holding these conversations and asking folks to sign our petition to Iowa's congresspeople to let them know what Iowans think of housing.
