UpLift- The Central Iowa Basic Income Pilot

After 3.5 years of community-driven research, learning, and collaboration, UpLift is thrilled to share that our final study findings are here! 🎉

Join us at the Final Findings event to hear directly from the research team, celebrate the connections and impact this journey has inspired, and be part of this exciting milestone with the UpLift community.

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!

We had a great time with Drake Occupational Therapy students and staff last week.
Don’t miss The Crate at Des Moines University April 22 -24.

Last week, our OT Department collaborated with our friends at the Harkin Center and UpLift Iowa to host this interactive exhibit educating the campus community on housing insecurity. OT students took a visit and learned how they might encounter these issues in the community and how they can support their neighbors as healthcare providers 🏡 #communitycrate #harkininstitute #drakeuniversity #occupationaltherapy #healthcare #desmoines #centraliowa #housinginsecurity #drakeotd
