What’s in it

AI summary Iowa will create a new program to help fix up homes in certain urban and rural neighborhoods. People who live in the homes they are fixing can get loans that might be forgiven, meaning they may not have to pay them back. The state will set up a special fund to pay for these loans and repairs.1
