Community Project Funding

A new community land trust aims to help more low-income families become homeowners by providing affordable housing options in the Des Moines metro. The Central Iowa Community Land Trust will be the state's only one of its kind.

Republican lawmakers from Iowa and Nebraska gave up millions of dollars they requested for projects in their districts when they voted on a bill to keep the government open in March. Constituents and beneficiaries of Community Project Funding worry the money won’t be restored.
