The Council Bluffs Community Alliance started in August 2007 when a group of ten advocates met on the deck of a home on the east end of Council Bluffs.

The mission statement developed by those advocates:

The Council Bluffs Community Alliance will promote the city of Council Bluffs as a developing gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender family community, and will help assure the equality of all Council Bluffs’ residents.
