The Rental Property Ministry of St. Andrew's is a ministry to bring affordable, quality housing to the community. Ames is one of the most expensive communities in the state of Iowa in which to rent or purchase housing. A building boom has added hundreds of new apartments and houses to the area in recent years but has not lowered rental prices. There is a segment of the local population that does not qualify for any city, state, or federal housing assistance and yet are unable to afford to live in Ames.

Our goal with this ministry is to reach out to those people who are marginalized in the housing market and provide for them safe, affordable housing. The Rental Property Ministry Team takes on all aspects of property managment from coordinating repairs and maintenance to finding renters. Currently we have three properties that are part of this ministry.
