Winneshiek County is designated as a community of opportunity for military veterans

Winneshiek County will be designated as one of the counties in the Home Base Iowa Community initiative, a program that designates communities as centers of opportunity for military veterans.

Home Base Iowa is a one-of-a-kind program which connects veterans and transitioning service members with resources in Iowa, including job openings.  The program helps connect Iowa businesses with qualified veterans looking for career opportunities.

Countless resources are available to help veterans and their families with education and in transitioning to a new community with focused support and individuals who want to help. Home Base Iowa's private-public partnership provides a high level of commitment for our veterans, transitioning service members and their families.
