Interfaith Housing Services brings the housing needs of individuals to the attention of the community at large and then organizes the manpower, abilities, expertise and donations of those that want to "make a difference" so that help is provided where it is  needed most. IHS serves to provide housing solutions to those least likely to find housing assistance in traditional means. This includes extensive work in providing both rental housing and ownership opportunities to people and families with both physical and developmental disabilities.

To fulfill its mission, IHS operates four programs

bulletHomeowner Occupied Repair
bulletFirst Time Home Ownership
bulletSpecial Needs Rental Program
bulletIndividual Development Accounts

IHS programs serve children, youth, seniors, families, individuals and the community in a variety of ways. Through the years, our grants and private donations brought over $7,000,000 into the counties we serve all of which positively affected not only the housing industry, but the economic development of the towns and cities in those counties as well.

We watch neighborhoods improve because we repair one house therefore inspiring neighbors to work on their homes. The greatest joy is seeing someone who had essentially given up all hope once again enjoy a positive outlook on life because they have a home they are proud of--a home where the roof does not leak, a home where there are no holes in the floor, a home where the furnace and water heater work again. The pleasure of helping someone live in a home that is a safe harbor when the going gets rough, is a blessing to staff, volunteers and the client.
