Oakridge Neighborhood Services

Neighborhood Finance Corporation - NFC recently hosted a Journey to Homeownership class on our campus - a great opportunity for residents to learn how they can achieve homeownership. Last year, eight families we serve who participated in the training purchased their own homes! 👍

A home is so much more than just a place to live. It's community, stability, and opportunity. As Iowa's largest affordable housing community, we are providing pathways to prosperity for families across Central Iowa through our stable housing and wraparound services.

Thanks so much to the Urban Bicycle Food Ministry for stopping by our campus! This amazing group of volunteers comes over on Thursdays to bring fruit, sandwiches, and smiles to our young people. 🥪

Today, we're honoring and remembering those lost in service to our nation. 🇺🇸
