Home Base Iowa's mission is to make Iowa the state of choice for military men and women as they transition to civilian careers. Home Base Iowa will provide veterans with the resources that can open doors to job opportunities, welcoming communities, and on-going engagement with the military community.

We know that a relocation can be quite overwhelming, whether it be an individual or a family. Our team will do everything we can to make new families feel at home in your new community. Throughout the year, staff will host at least two social gatherings for those new to the community through the HBI program.

CADC expects the addition of both employers and community incentives as this program matures in Carroll County, so check the site regularly. Through a partnership with Iowa Workforce Development, positions will be highlighted throughout the county. We are excited to being work as a Home Base Iowa county!
