Housing is at the heart of financial well-being — and credit unions have a critical role to play.

The Iowa Finance Authority is hosting the HousingIowa Conference September 3–4 in Cedar Rapids, bringing together leaders to explore how housing fuels opportunity for families, communities and local economies.

As trusted financial partners, credit union staff can bring valuable insight to the conversation. Consider attending and engaging to help shape solutions that support Iowans at every stage of life.

ICUF Impact in Action

2025 Warren A Morrow Scholarship recipient Caitlin Zuercher shares: "This scholarship provides me with financial support, allowing me to attend university so I can achieve my dreams of getting my degree in nursing! Without a degree I could never get my dream job to help others in my community! Without this opportunity, the financial cost of college becomes very difficult to afford. Scholarships like this are crucial to helping the future generation achieve their dreams and goals!"
