UpLift- The Central Iowa Basic Income Pilot

Uplift is grateful for the expertise and creativity of our partners at Project7 Design. With their help The Community Crate has welcomed over 1,000 visitors since its opening in July of 2025, allowing community members to engage with historical housing policies, Iowa eviction data, and solutions to Iowa’s affordable housing shortage.
It’s an honor to see this collaborative work recognized!
