Since 2012, WestCare Iowa has provided services for Veterans and their families who are experiencing homelessness and are living within the 43 counties that comprise Northern Iowa. All services are provided by way of its Family Alliance for Veterans of America program, made possible by grant funding from Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF).
We devote our best collective and individual efforts towards assisting Veterans and their families who are experiencing homelessness in a variety of supportive services to promote housing stability and long-term independence.
