County and local service area

Cedar Rapids and the broader East Central Iowa region. The organization’s August 27, 2026 statement names Linn, Benton, Jones, Iowa, Johnson, Cedar and Washington counties as part of its regional work; this is broader than the three-county metro recorded in the legacy directory.

The seven named counties come from the organization’s regional-work statement, not a uniform program eligibility boundary. The legacy three-county project crosswalk is not a complete service-area definition.
