Heartland Family Service

Heartland Homes / Transitions

Heartland Homes is a 16-unit, facility-based, permanent supportive housing service. Transitions is a seven-unit, facility-based, permanent supportive housing service. Both are located in Council Bluffs.

The Heartland Homes & Transitions services provide long-term housing and support on-site for individuals and families who are chronically homeless.

These services are specifically for those who have a disability and either have been homeless continuously for a year or more, or who have had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years.

Heartland Homes & Transitions is designed to serve individuals who have experienced long-term homelessness with significant barriers to stable housing. The ultimate goal is to provide safe, stable housing and the opportunity for participants to become self-sufficient. The unique aspect of this program is that supportive services address the root causes of homelessness and help participants maintain permanent housing, as well as prevent any recurrence of homelessness.

Referrals to this program must go through Threshold COC.
