Who is Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity?

We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to establishing stability, opportunity, and hope within communities. This is done primarily through the promotion of homeownership–but it takes more than bricks and mortar to build a resilient neighborhood. We employ a holistic approach that considers the needs of the homeowners, neighborhood organizations, and local businesses. Our mission is to guide these communities to build not just houses, but robust infrastructures that can withstand challenges, and create neighborhoods that endure and thrive.

Our Focus Neighborhoods

Church Row Neighborhood

The Church Row Neighborhood is located between W 6th street and US 63, and extends from Hwy 218 to Kimball Ave.

Walnut Neighborhood

The Walnut Neighborhood is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and borders the northeast edge of downtown Waterloo.

Our Commitment to Belonging and Opportunity
At Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity, we believe every person deserves a place to call home—and a community where they are welcomed, respected, and empowered to thrive. Rooted in our faith and guided by our commitment to Koinonia, we work to expand opportunity and foster belonging through every aspect of our mission—from how we build and who we serve to the culture we cultivate within our team. As an equal opportunity employer and housing organization, we reject discrimination in any form and strive to model a world where compassion and opportunity lead to lasting change. We welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities—including members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, people of all faiths or none, and people of all abilities—because when we unite through God’s love, we build more than homes—we build community and hope for all.
Non-proselytizing policy 
Habitat for Humanity and its affiliate organizations will not proselytize. Nor will Habitat work with entities or individuals who insist on proselytizing as part of their work with Habitat. This means that Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
