Muscatine Municipal Housing Agency

The Muscatine Municipal Housing Agency (MMHA) is dedicated to providing safe, affordable, and quality housing solutions for our community. The mission is to empower individuals and families by offering a range of housing programs and services that foster stability, support, and opportunity.

Homeownership

The City of Muscatine Housing Counseling program is a HUD Certified organization that provides a range of resources. These include group classes covering rental and homeownership education, as well as personalized sessions for credit repair, budgeting, and other financial assistance.

Down Payment Assistance Program

The City of Muscatine Housing Counseling program offers two different Down Payment Assistance (DPA) options ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 based on eligibility and need. While the two DPA programs offered by the City of Muscatine Housing Counseling program cannot be combined with each other, they can be combined with other DPA programs outside of our organization.
