What We Do
New Home Construction

Single-Family Homes
Matthew 25 recently built two beautiful new construction homes on the west side of Cedar Rapids. Built with low maintenance and energy costs in mind, these two gems are affordable, sustainable, quality homes.

Net Zero Homes
We’re constructing new Net Zero Homes, which will produce as much energy as they consume by incorporating state-of-the-art solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and superior insulation. They also have a community-focused design with patios and easy access to green spaces.
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.

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.
