Housing
supportive Shelter
HEAL House of Iowa provides temporary shelter services to Warren County, Iowa children, families, and adults facing homelessness. HEAL House prioritizes providing shelter to people to end their homelessness. This serves as a launching pad for individuals to pursue personal goals and to improve their quality of life. This approach is guided by the belief that people need basic necessities like food and a place to sleep before addressing less critical issues such as employment, budgeting, securing permanent housing, or attending to health needs.
Education
Furthering Your Potential
For those families with school-aged children, education is embraced as a preventative tool against future homelessness. The staff supports families to encourage school attendance.

Learning To Budget
