The Iowa reentry program and assistance page is a big work in progress. We try to keep our eyes out for more programs to add to the page. If your Iowa reentry program is not listed here, please contact us if you would like it to be. Your program will be reviewed as soon as possible once we receive it. If we feel that it is a good addition to our Iowa reentry programs page, we will add it.
Also, please contact us if there are any issues with a Iowa reentry program that is listed here. We do try to keep this page as up to date as possible, but we’re not perfect. Sometimes we do miss things, and appreciate them being pointed out to us. We will fix issues as soon as we find them or they are brought to our attention.
If you are looking for information on voting with a felony in Iowa, please look on our Voting Rights page. That page has a list of all 50 states’ laws regarding ex-offender voting rights.[line]

My name is Michael Rowe. I’m an Ex offender trying to find housing I’ve been homeless since 2008.
Would it be possible to list Society of St. Vincent de Paul on your website as a prison re-entry resource? We partner with Bridges of Iowa to provide healthy relationship courses to both men and women while they are in the program.
St. Vincent de Paul builds people to self-sufficiency by meeting their basic needs of
food, clothing and shelter and helps them get to the next steps through a variety of educational offerings and community support.
Thank you for considering.
