Why
this is important:
This program helps recruit and retain veterans to be homeowners in Iowa. By providing a small amount of assistance to buy a home in Iowa, we are keeping veterans here as residents, and we are successfully recruiting veterans to live in Iowa rather than across the rivers.
What we're doing about this:
We are continuously educating veterans about this program. All county service officers have been given information to help educate their veterans about this benefit. We have information on our website and in all our publications.
