Is it ok that the majority
of homeless are families with children?
Is it ok that your child’s best friend may not have a safe place to sleep?
Is it ok for children to live in an unsafe or unhealthy environment?
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.
