Adventure Pass temporarily shut down in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Iowa Adventure Pass program will temporarily shut down in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can still make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. The service will return at a later time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Journey to Homeownership provides educational tools and resources to support African Americans who are looking to become homeowners. The core part of the J2H initiative is a down payment assistance program. Our actions and work are in support of the One Economy Blue Print for Action and the goal to increase African American homeownership in Polk County by 2% from 2020 to 2023.

This program is for:

  • Aspiring African Americans, looking for guidance and support.
  • Community members interested in learning about homeownership opportunities and financial assistance.

NFC as a whole, provides other unique lending programs that have forgivable funds matched with repayable funds, to facilitate neighborhood revitalization. NFC provides home mortgage loans to individuals seeking to purchase or renovate their home in one of our lending areas. Don’t miss this opportunity to take the first step towards owning your dream home!
