Because meaningful change starts with listening, learning, and taking action.

As a child, Jason experienced homelessness after moving to Iowa.
So when he later saw families in Ames struggling with unsafe and unaffordable housing, he organized with AMOS and other (tag) Ames UCC leaders to do something about it—helping launch the Story County Housing Trust Fund Task Force, which now supports dozens of families each year with critical housing repairs and stability.
Watch Jason’s story and see how lived experience can drive lasting change.
