About

HOME, Inc. is the oldest nonprofit housing organization in Des Moines. We are a local non-profit that has been serving Des Moines since 1967, when less than a dozen citizens were fed up with all the talk yet lack of action from the Government and took matters into their own hands. It started with a simple idea of families helping families and has now grown into who we are today – a nonprofit HUD certified Housing Counseling Agency and Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). We’re very proud of our history of rising to the occasion, and of being nimble and flexible enough to be able to change our programming to deal with the issues that people are facing right now.

Our Mission is to empower our neighbors by helping them overcome the barriers to obtaining and maintaining safe, stable, affordable housing. We do this through education, housing counseling, neighborhood revitalization, and affordable housing development.

Our Vision is that every person has a place to call home.
