Housing Assistance

If you currently live in Johnson County and need help finding stable housing, please contact us through the Contact section. If you are seeking temporary housing through our Welcome Houses program, please follow the information below.

Requirements

We want to serve as many families as we can, especially those new to Johnson County. To do this, we ask that families only apply if they are:

  • New to the United States and have lived in the country for less than 5 years

  • New to the area and do not have a home in Johnson County

Priorities

Applicants will receive priority on the following basis:

  • Families with minor children will be prioritized over individuals, couples, or families with only adult members

  • Families that have most recently arrived in Johnson County

  • Families that have no pre-existing support systems in the community (e.g., family members living in Johnson County)

  • Families that have little or no personal financial means or that have not received government assistance

  • Families with documents and those without documents will be considered equally

If you are new to the area or planning to move to Iowa City and need housing or support, please fill out the form to the right, and a member of our team will contact you.
