USICH Federal Strategic Plan to End Homelessness

Housing & Shelter · Iowa · Free

Federal interagency plan to prevent and end homelessness, LGBTQ+ inclusive. A starting point for case management, emergency vouchers, and longer-term placement. Case managers help navigate Section 8, public housing, and rapid-rehousing programs while you're stable in shelter. Domestic violence shelters increasingly accept LGBTQ+ survivors, including trans women — ask before assuming you're not welcome. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Iowa residents and the people supporting them.
