The Downtown Davenport Partnership team is continuing to monitor the resources that are being made available to residents and businesses impacted by the disaster at 324 Main St. We will continue to update this page as we are made aware of new resources.
Message from DDP
Our hearts ache for those impacted by the tragic 324 Main St. collapse, and our deepest sympathies go out to the families who are experiencing unimaginable loss.
We’ve seen incredible acts of heroism by first responders, a community rallying to help one another, and the balancing act of making sure everyone is safely accounted for as the structural integrity of the building is continuously monitored.
As our community grapples with moving toward resolution, know that the Downtown Davenport Partnership extends our support, love, and empathy as we navigate through this profound sorrow.
The Quad Cities community always comes together when people need help; our phones have been lighting up with offers to help residents and businesses affected. The Quad City Community Foundation has launched a fundraiser in conjunction with Red Cross to help those affected find new housing. We've included a donation link below if you would like to offer financial support.
Additionally, Governor Reynolds signed a disaster proclamation that activated the Iowa Individuals Grant Assistance and Disaster Case Management Program. We've included details below, please share with anyone you may know who has been affected.
While there are unimaginable losses still being understood, we’re thankful for the generosity and outpouring of support from our community when it's most in need. DDP will do its own assessment soon to address the loss of business and technical assistance for housing.
Downtown Davenport is chock-full of property owners, businesses, residents, and local officials who care deeply about this place and investing in its well-being. Please continue to help where you can for those most in need, and thank you for being part of our deeply-connected community that makes this a place we all love and call home.
We’ll need that strong fabric to carry us through this tragedy and lift up our neighbors.
