DES MOINES — The Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) recently honored six exceptional housing projects, organizations and leaders through the annual HousingIowa Awards, presented at the 2026 HousingIowa Conference in Des Moines. From revitalizing a long-vacant Veterans Affairs campus to ensuring people who have experienced homelessness help shape housing decisions, this year’s recipients are advancing creative, community-driven solutions to Iowa’s housing needs.
Of those awardees, the single-family development award went to Origin Homes, a subsidiary of Hubbell Realty Company.
The awards recognize programs, projects and professionals advancing creative solutions and expanding housing opportunities for Iowans. During the ceremony, the impact of their work was brought to life through personal stories shared by the Iowans and communities whose lives have been shaped by these efforts.
“These award winners exemplify what is possible when strong partnerships, innovative thinking and a shared commitment to action come together,” said Debi Durham, Director of the Iowa Finance Authority and Iowa Economic Development Authority.
