About Home Preservation for Heroes

According to the Housing Assistance Council, more than 22,000 Iowa veterans live in homes with one or more major quality problems. 1 in 5 Iowa veterans are cost-burdened by their housing expenses. November 5 – 7, 2025, GDM Habitat will partner with local heroes, including veterans, to complete home preservation projects that will make their homes safer, stronger, and more livable. Projects may include exterior repairs, critical home repair, weatherization, or accessibility improvements.
