Sioux City Community Assistance

Sioux City Community Assistance is a nonprofit agency in partnership with the City of Sioux City with a mission to provide outreach to homeless individuals and families, eliminate barriers to housing, and make the transition into housing sustainable and long lasting, and provide case management.   When an individual or family is newly housed, they typically have nothing except what will fit in a backpack - no bed, no furniture, no dishes, no cleaning supplies, no food.  Our goal is to provide new or like new essential items in an effort to make their housing journey successful.  We rely on donations from the community to make their apartment a "home." To donate, visit https://siouxcityassist.org/.
