Students at the Iowa City Community School District broke ground on an affordable housing unit this fall that they will help construct.
The school district reintroduced its Student Built House Program, which has not run since 2010, to make use of a vacant lot at 724 Ronalds St. that the City of Iowa City acquired in 2016.
The students are helping construct a two-bedroom house throughout this school year, and there will potentially be another house constructed on the same lot next school year, according to a release from the City of Iowa City.
