VISTA Corridor Flood Recovery, a program of Central Cedar Rapids Weed & Seed, was established in June 2008 to assist with flood-relief efforts and expand poverty-fighting programs in the Cedar Rapids-Iowa City area.
Central Cedar Rapids Weed & Seed is an initiative of Community Corrections Improvement Association (CCIA).
CCIA  is a 501(c)(3) private foundation established in 1991 to build solutions for safer communities in the state of Iowa. Over the past fifteen years CCIA has become a local, state, and national leader and continues to redefine the critical issues and provide solutions for safer communities. CCIA remains at the forefront as a powerful and innovative organization by:

• Delivering proactive and preventative programs that put youth first,

• Developing and securing funding for community partnerships with law enforcement and corrections,

• Hosting thought provoking public forums and policy conferences,

• Redefining the way we address mental health issues in corrections, and

• Being the first to create low-income housing for reunifying families of offenders.

CCIA’s goal as a working foundation is to provide critical services now, and to provide visionary leadership for the future. Visit http://www.iowacbc.org/ccia.
