ARPA funds aid Dream City ownership and local grants
The $3 million Iowa City ARPA grant helped Dream City buy its building, hire staff, and renovate, with renovations due spring 2025. Iowa City's ARPA program totals $18.3 million in funding, while Cedar Rapids and Linn County allocated funds to nonprofits and housing. Authorities say ARPA supported mental health, housing, and workforce projects across the Corridor with lingering effects expected beyond 2026.
