About Scott County Housing Council
Scott County Housing Council’s recent giving is dominated by large affordable-housing grants to local providers and developers in the Quad Cities, including a $215,000 grant to Vera French Housing Corporation and a $188,430 grant to Humility Homes and Services Inc. The council’s grantmaking sits inside a broader housing mandate: it manages a grant pool and revolving loan fund for not-for-profit housing service providers and developer members of the Quad Cities Housing Cluster, with support tied to housing development, rehabilitation, and related activities. Its stated mission is to provide resources for creating housing opportunities that promote economic and community development. Recent awards show a recurring focus on housing providers serving low- and moderate-income households, renters, families, seniors, and first-time homebuyers through project-based funding, capital support, and policy and advocacy support. The council also funds housing-related capacity work, as seen in grants to organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and Ecumenical Housing Development Corporation. Across its recent grants, the emphasis is on safe, decent, affordable housing in the Quad Cities area.
What Scott County Housing Council Funds
Affordable housing development is the clearest theme in the council’s recent grants. It gave $172,572 to Habitat for Humanity for affordable housing and $140,619 to Muscatine Housing Trust for the same purpose. Housing rehabilitation appears alongside new development: Rejuvenate Housing received $49,707 in 2025 and $35,000 in 2024, both tagged affordable housing. The council also supports organizations working at the intersection of housing and community services. Family Resources Inc received $59,997 in 2023 for affordable housing, and Community Action of Eastern Iowa received $51,639 in 2023 for the same purpose. Support for housing providers is reflected in awards to Ecumenical Housing Development Corporation, including $74,256 in 2024 and $25,739 in 2025. The recent grant list also includes legal and interfaith organizations, such as Iowa Legal Aid and Quad Cities Interfaith, both funded for affordable housing.
How Scott County Housing Council Gives
Typical grant size is mid-range for a local funder: the 25th percentile is $11,077, the median is $33,000, and the 75th percentile is $88,648. The recent grant list shows repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Vera French Housing Corporation, Humility Homes and Services Inc, Habitat for Humanity, Muscatine Housing Trust, Ecumenical Housing Development Corporation, Community Action of Eastern Iowa, and Iowa Legal Aid. That pattern fits a grant pool and revolving loan structure rather than one-off charitable gifts. The council’s active programs show both grantmaking and loan capital for member organizations in the Quad Cities Housing Cluster. One program accepts unsolicited applications, while another is limited to not-for-profit housing service providers and developer members.
