Homeless Assistance

Helping Iowans get back on their feet and gain successes not only in housing, but also in employment, health and a fresh start.

If it hadn’t been for YSS, my life might have taken a drastically different path during my darkest moments. Their support was instrumental—I obtained my CNA certification, honed my budgeting skills, and prioritized my mental well-being. Without question, YSS not only changes lives but saved mine.

Thanks to Frontier Co-op’s Breaking Down Barriers program, I’ve found my footing again. Today, I have my own home, a reliable vehicle, and a sense of stability. The prospect of owning a house, something I once only dreamed of, now feels within reach. Frontier has truly transformed my life, and I’m forever grateful.

I was an alcoholic and got into some trouble. I was at my lowest and even spent some time in jail. My time at The Heal House changed my life – I’m now a better person – I’m sober, gainfully employed and looking forward to advancing in my career – and best of all, my children are back in my life.
