Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity focuses on home ownership as its solution to affordable housing. By offering zero interest mortgages and accepting sweat equity as a down payment we are able to offer affordable home ownership opportunities to families who would otherwise not qualify for a mortgage. Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses in partnership with families in need. Habitat has built more than 500,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1,500,000 people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter. Habitat for Humanity International has been building homes around the world since 1976. Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity was established in 1990 and has built or renovated over 100 homes in the affiliate service area of Black Hawk, Bremer and Butler counties.⁠​

House of Hope provides two-year transitional housing and support services for single mothers and their children in homelessness. Women receive individualized case management to identify and overcome barriers to independence, such as, aging out of foster care, domestic violence victimization, lack of education, limited work experience, poverty, etc. 86% of women who successfully complete the House of Hope program never return to homelessness.

You & I Care seeks to build a virtual global village where people can support one another in their journeys towards physical, emotional, and social well-being. Engaging in small, safe caring circles allow members to truly connect with others from diverse backgrounds and experiences. YOU And I Care provides a place for people to come and be apart of what we call Deep Listening. Deep listening to a type of listening that is deeper than empathy and creates safety, healing, growth, and better overall well-being.

Love INC of the Cedar Valley is an organization who networks partner churches and local businesses to meet the tangible needs of the community and inspire lasting change in those they serve.⁠ At their office, they do intakes with clients over the phone and set up appointments at local churches to meet tangible needs. They recognize, however, that their responsibility to the community must extend beyond meeting immediate needs and address some of the ongoing cycles that keep many in poverty. As a result, they host an evening learning environment called "Begin Now" for both participants and volunteers. Participants attend "Begin Now" to find community and build skills necessary to find a greater level of stability. Volunteers learn how to become thoughtful, present, long-term, holistically-minded, healthy givers and servants in the community.
