What We Do
Maintain a Healthy Home

Tool Library
When working on home improvement projects, tool rental from our Tool Library is an affordable alternative to a traditional hardware store. This collection of rental tools and supplies is available to everyone, regardless of what neighborhood you live in or your income level.

Energy Audits & Home Weatherization
Did you know that LED light bulbs use 90% less energy and last up to 25x longer than typical incandescent bulbs? Learn how to reduce utility costs, use fewer natural resources, and make your home safer year-round by requesting a free energy audit or energy kit from our Green Iowa AmeriCorps team.
What We Do
Our Home Repair Initiatives

Transform Week
For one week each year, Matthew 25 organizes hundreds of volunteers to help homeowners with home repair and maintenance projects they can’t complete on their own. Projects could include anything from window replacement and carpentry work, to painting and landscaping.

PATCH Program
The Providing Assistance to Community Homeowners (PATCH) Program was created to bring disaster relief and emergency repair assistance to Cedar Rapids and Linn County homeowners following the 2020 derecho. If you are in need of help with derecho repairs, contact Waypoint at 319-366-7999.
Rental Housing
Find Affordable Housing
Everyone should have access to safe, affordable housing.
We ensure our rentals in the Taylor and Time Check neighborhoods of Cedar Rapids are not only low-cost, but newly refurbished.
