A safe place to call home is the foundation for thriving individuals, families, and communities. But last year, roughly 5,000 individuals in Polk County experienced homelessness– depriving them of the safety, security, and foundation they need to succeed.
At Homeward, we believe the Polk County community has a collective responsibility to support residents experiencing homelessness by providing a variety of housing options and services. Together, we can ensure our neighbors have access to the resources they need not just to survive– but to thrive– in stable, permanent housing.
