I don’t know what I would have done without it. I really liked working with NEIRHTF administrators. ” Northeast Iowa Regional Housing Trust Fund client from Elma “I wish to thank the NEIRHTF for the opportunity for me to get the shingles replaced on my roof.

I could not have afforded to have it done otherwise. NEIRHTF staff were extremely helpful and were able to answer any questions or concerns I had. ” Northeast Iowa Regional Housing Trust Fund client from Oelwein “My house is once again my home.

My roof was leaking and my chimney was ready to fall over. I was a few years away from affording a new roof. Luckily, someone introduced me to the NEIRHTF program at Upper Explorerland in Postville.

The people and the program made it possible to get the project done in a short time. They were helpful and thorough, also good communicators. I will be forever grateful to the people and the program.

I feel happy and safe in my home now. Thank you. ” Northeast Iowa Regional Housing Trust Fund client “What a wonderful program!

Home improvement and repair projects are stressful and scary. Finding ways to pay for them is sometimes the hardest part. I wish I had known about this years ago!

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity! ” Northeast Iowa Regional Housing Trust Fund client from Decorah “I found that the workers were great! As for the NEIRHTF program, you couldn’t find a better program.

The staff were always so nice to me, and I really appreciated that. ” Northeast Iowa Regional Housing Trust Fund client from Postville “I can’t thank you enough for all your help! Our house looks so beautiful now.

Thank you so very much! You guys are great! We would not have been able to do it without your help!

Thank you so much for being there!!! ” Northeast Iowa Regional Housing Trust Fund client from Oelwein “I am so grateful for this program. My house is considerably old, and the renovations your program has assisted me with are making a huge difference in energy efficiency and look great!

Thank you so much! ” Northeast Iowa Regional Housing Trust Fund client from Lansing “I cannot say enough good things about the NEIRHTF program. I have lived in my home for 20 years and could not afford to do all the things that needed to be done.

The program assures the work done on my house was acceptable and complete. I have learned so much from this program. ” Northeast Iowa Regional Housing Trust Fund client from McGregor “I want to thank the NEIRHTF Board for allowing me to participate in their program to update my home.

This will allow me to be able to have the convenience of having a bath facility on the main floor, and it updated my HVAC and electrical. These programs are a win-win, and I’m grateful I found this opportunity. Thanks to all who helped me.
