We provide a home, a community, and a transformation for homeless, single-mother families and women ages 18-24 who age out of foster care.
Resources—time, money, and energy—are finite things. We know there’s only so much to give, and it’s a leap of faith to give it all, because they are valuable commodities. We’re happy you’re considering our organization.
House of Hope can help you empower single mothers and give them and their children a chance at self-sufficiency. Break the cycle of poverty and homelessness by providing:
The effects of homelessness on children are devastating—they often suffer physical, psychological and emotional damage. However, research shows these effects can be reversed. Be part of the solution.
Raising children is hard enough with two incomes and a village. Yet, these women often come to House of Hope without either, and are still expected to raise their children and pay the bills.
Every woman is expected to obtain a degree or employment to work towards independence—there is no coasting. We have high expectations because we know that these women are capable.
It’s nice knowing that people actually care about me and my son, because I didn’t have that for so long. You’re more than your past and you’re more than the things that have happened to you.
If you’re interested in helping us empower women, here’s what you can do:
We’d love to discuss our goals with you and show you around House of Hope. Contact Dusky via email or call 319-232-3823 to set up a time to come see us.

Without your help, homeless single, mothers will continue to struggle in our community. They won’t have a chance to come up for air and breathe. Their children will continue to suffer the devastating effects of homelessness and no one will help them break the cycle of poverty.
