A huge thank you to all of the landlords, community members, and Homeless Taskforce Committee members who joined us yesterday to discuss the housing crisis Polk County is currently facing. We had an incredible group of individuals who are eager to be part of the conversation and are committed to helping create real solutions for our community!

It is encouraging to see so many people willing to come together, share ideas, and work toward positive change!

If you are a landlord or someone interested in helping address housing needs in Polk County, please reach out to our Housing Coordinator, Lauren, for more information on how you can get involved!
