Housing Options
There are times that for various reasons, people need an opportunity to live at no cost or at nominal cost in order to recover financially and re-establish independent living. MCSA provides a home and direction during that time.
Emergency Family and Single Women's Housing
The Family & Individual Housing Units provide a secure living space for families with children, as well as single women.
There are 8 private rooms available and accommodations can be made for any size family. Each unit includes beds, bedding and pillows, towels, and basic supplies. Additional beds or cribs are available as needed.
The units share a large open living space, kitchenette, bathroom, and laundry.
There is always space available for those in Muscatine County needing a place to stay.
Emergency Men's Housing
Overnight housing is available for single men. At 9:00 pm each evening, our gymnasium converts into a sleeping space. The gym can accommodate up to 45 men, but solutions can be made if we have more than 45.
