“Shelter House is putting on a two-week online fundraiser called "Raise the Roof" in hopes of raising $10,000 for a new roof over their Fairweather Lodge training home which provides housing and mental health support for people who have chronic mental illness and are experiencing homelessness in the Iowa City area.

At the end of this 2-week online campaign, HomeBrewed will play a finale benefit concert at the Mill! Mark your calendars now, and plan to join us on May 21st from 4-6:30 to help us cap off the campaign! Suggested ticket price is $10 for adults, and $5 for students.

Raising the funds to replace the Fairweather Lodge roof not only ensures safety of program participants, but also makes it possible for the life-changing support provided under that roof to continue to be available to them. Combining psychiatric services, peer relationships, medication support, supported employment, and permanent supportive housing, the Fairweather Lodge gives clients the chance to rebuild their lives in the context of safe, supportive, permanent housing.
