HOST HOMES

Every Iowan deserves the independence they need to thrive. Host Homes is an innovative way LSI is serving adults with disabilities. Through this program, an individual moves from Supported Community Living into a private family home with a carefully selected mentor. This program is built entirely around an individual’s goals and interests, and LSI’s extensive matching process ensures the mentor and mentee are a great fit.

The People’s Law Library of Iowa is meant to be an easy-to-understand, basic information website about the law. The website can be a good starting point for understanding some legal issues. It connects users with cases, statutes, and administrative rules, so anyone can read the original text being summarized. It also connects users to other important sources, like the Iowa Judicial Branch or Iowa Attorney General websites.

The People’s Law Library is not legal advice, nor is it a replacement for a lawyer. The contents should be read as providing basic, introductory information only. The law can be complicated and many aspects of the law change regularly.

RSVP is part of the national AmeriCorps Seniors network of programs which recruits adults 55 and better to use their skills, talents and life experience to help meet community needs through volunteer service.

Call if you want to volunteer or call if your organization is in need of volunteers.
