Hawthorn Hill helps families who are experiencing homelessness in Iowa. Our mission is to establish and
operate housing programs for homeless families with children that help them obtain permanent housing and to provide services to help families achieve economic
self-sufficiency. Hawthorn Hill fulfills its mission through two programs:
New Directions Shelter provides free, temporary, emergency shelter and services for homeless mothers and their children.
The Home Connection provides transitional housing and supportive services to homeless families with children with emphasis on attaining financial independence and home ownership.
