The affordable housing crisis is growing in Ames, and AMOS is taking action. On January 23, 70 AMOS leaders gathered at Ames United Church of Christ to officially launch the Ames Housing Organizing Campaign. Community members shared powerful stories of housing struggles and committed to hosting a series of Housing Civic Academies to educate and engage residents.

This is just the beginning. Built on the belief that housing is a fundamental need, this campaign recognizes that when families have stable, affordable homes, entire communities thrive. We will continue engaging in conversations with community members to deepen our understanding, share knowledge, and get more people working together to ensure all Ames residents have access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.
