Home Allies Inc is a non-profit organization established in August 2021 to address the shortage of affordable apartments in Ames, IA. Their first project involves the construction of two one-story buildings with four studio apartments each, catering to individuals and small families with incomes below 50 percent of Story County's average median income. Home Allies follows the Housing First philosophy and aims to provide stable, long-term homes to those experiencing housing insecurity, prioritizing residents of Story County, individuals with disabilities, and those transitioning from transitional housing programs.
The organization's approach includes flexible evaluation processes for potential tenants, budget-friendly monthly payments that cover rent and utilities, and a commitment to ensuring that housing expenses do not exceed 30 percent of tenants' monthly income. Home Allies also emphasizes the importance of community collaboration and fundraising efforts to support their mission of providing safe and secure housing for individuals with limited resources.
