About Home Connection

The Home Connection provides transitional housing and support services for homeless families with children. We have 21 housing units, and typically serve 25 families per year. We provide case management with an emphasis on attaining family economic self-sufficiency, home ownership, and life and living skills.

The Home Connection pioneered transitional housing in Polk County. We have the only program with single family homes and duplexes located in various neighborhoods in Des Moines. We provide as much normalcy as possible for our families. Families are able to live together in an ordinary home in ordinary neighborhoods for up to two years. Families that enter our transitional housing program are homeless when they enter the program and are very low income. Since families live in a home, as compared to an apartment, they learn to take care of a home and yard.
