Update Iowa City - Habitat for Humanity
As of 7/31/2008
I spoke to the Executive Director of the Habitat for Humanity -
We have finished phase 1 of de-mucking, and will be continuing with rebuilding and restoring in the future. He recommends political pressure to solve long term needs. Next spring 2009 HFH will need volunteer crews, and they will rank families by income to determine need. Iowa City had 300 homes affected, and a few business. Cedar Rapids had 4000 homes affected 1-2000 will be demolished. They also had substantial disruption of business income and tax base.
