WASHINGTON, D.C. —
Congressman Dave Loebsack announced that housing authorities across Iowa will receive a total of $1,149,586 to provide funding for communities that create partnerships to help low income families obtain employment that will lead to economic independence. Housing authorities receiving funding to work in communities in the Second District include those in Iowa City, Muscatine and Cedar Rapids.
