Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP)

Energy Assistance program provides energy crisis and bill payment assistance to elderly, disabled, and low-income households. Lead-based Paint Services: HACAP's state certified inspectors can provide you with services to know if and where your home has lead-based paint concerns. (This service is usually free, but in some cases there is a fee based on one's income.) HACAP's Assessment and Resolution Energy Counseling program (A&R Program) is established in order to provide energy efficiency education, budget counseling, and incentives for qualified households.

Today, Shelter House operates a 70-bed emergency shelter in addition to four homes and an apartment building through which we provide 47 permanent supportive housing units.
