A CISS-supported program that helps people outside of Des Moines secure safe, affordable housing in their area so they don’t have to travel to access support.

A hands-on, face-to-face initiative that aims to help the unhoused secure housing, receive guidance and support and begin their journey toward self-sufficiency.
