mattara. In April, 1988, I was appointed to tho Board ot Directora
ot Tho Emergancy IIousing Projoct and tor tho paat year, I havo
sorvod as the Treasurer ot that organization.
As a rasult ot my work with Tho Emergency Housing Project, I have
developod 0 tairly detailod underatanding as to this aspect ot the
housing situation in Iowa City, However, it has bacomo
increaaingly clear to ma that emergoncy housing is juat ono port

Dear Jehn and Steve:
I ~ppl~ud the Councfl ~nd the CIty H4n~ger for the recently publfcfzed
fnftfatlve towards fncreasfng the supply ef affordable housfng fn Iowa CIty,
I share your concern that over our recent history IlOre and IlOre people are
befng prfced out of the housfng market er befng confronted wfth undersupply of
decent affordable housfng fn some ether way, Because of ~ bollef In the
fmportanco of thIs project, I would feel prfvfloged to werk on a cItIzen's
group addressfng this preblem, I belfove I would brIng tho followIng to such
a group:
" Knowledge of the current workIngs of local gevernmont,
2, PractIcal knowledge of the legal systOlll relatfng te the resl estate
transfer process,
3, Awareness of the legal, polftfcol and flnancfal clfmate for real
estate development and fmprevement,
4, A belfef that, whore government selutfons are requIred for socIal
problems, local gevernment Is by far the most carIng and efffclent
governmont to devise and fmplement a solutfon,
5, A flm convfctfon that wo who are fnvolved fn any way wIth real
estate have a posftlve duty to enhanca the affordabllfty ef tho
basIc hUlllan need ef housIng for all our cftfzons,
Accordfngly, I would bo pleased to serve In thfs fnltfatlvo fn whatever

ReI Task Force on Affordable 1I0using
Oaar John:
I am vOlunteering to work on the Task Forca for Afford-
able 1I0using. There are three particular strategies that I
have on interost in investigating furthor: First is encour-
aging-more development in the townhouse, zero lot lina, and
condominium housing market. It might ba useful to davelop
standards that ore unique to these forms of home ownorship,
A second area that I baliave should be pursued is en-
courlll]ing the "mass production" of dotached, single family
dwallings. In this town, we no longer have any tract
buildera, Somehow, we have ended up with innumerable con-
tractors, mostly building for tho middlo and high ond buy-
ers.
"
A third area that ahould also be pursued is tho remod-
eling and ra-devolopment of the uead housing stock. In thia
market, first-time buyers can receive more value 10r thair
money if they buy oldar homes. We should be lOOking at
whether local policies encourage these purChases.
Please let me know if I can ba of assistanco.
ver~ t~Uly youre,
<It

Dear JOhn,
This ia to inform you of my intoroat in sorving on the Affordable
Housinq Task Forco that tho City Council will soon be appointing,
While I do live outs1do of tho Citi' limits, Stove Atkins tolls me
that you will be including individuals bayond city residento.
As you ore aware, the lCAD Group sponsored a workshop on housing
at tes April conference. We found it to be the most "popular"
issue on our Agenda and betweon 70 and 00 individu,,: ~ took part
in one of the two sessions on housing. We did hove participation
by individuals from outside Iowa City, as this is a problem
facing the entire area. And, as 0 mAttar of fact, a
recommendation came from the workshops to form 0 task force.
You may not know, however, that the League ef Women Voters of
Johnson County io beginning a study of affordabla housing also,
and I will be chairing that study. The Laaque will be lookinq at
housing in the entire county.
No doubt the Council will be appointing representAtives of
various constituencies -- developors, realtors, bankera, those in
noed of housing, I do hope you will also appoint some peraons
who don't repreaent any particular constituency, The perspective
of individuals not as diroctly affocted and without self intorest
ia a valuoblo and nocessory ono,
I thank you and the City Council for its consideration.
Sincerely,
Oft/I a..~ . ./

Renter for over 20 years, having lived in all kinds of dwel-
lings in various cities, and know first-hand what the prob-
lems, pluses, and needs are,
lIava been (technically I homeless three times in my life,
have stayed in a shelter,
My hopes and aspirations in this pursuit are to review any
and all housing-related information, in an effort to maximize
solutions inclUding, but not limited tOI ownership, renting,
emergency/transitional, cooperative, etc,
In this process, we ideally would look at eXisting housing,
financing, laws, zoning/ then look for creative alternatives
where possible, Perhaps we could bring in nationally known experts.

ReI Housing Task Force
I'm writing as a follow-up to our phone cenversatlon concerning the Johnson
County flontal Health Task Force and your plans for creating a Housing Task
Force. I would like to rC<:am1end that a representative fran our task force
bo Included on the housing task force.
TIle HenEal Health Task Force represents a wide Vilriety of human service agencies
In the county who servo the chronically mentally III In distinct yet cooperative
ways. Equal to employment as one of the most critical factors for this pop-
ulation Is housing and with It the ability to live Independently in affordable
housing, The Task Force has been In existence since the early 1980's, meets
monthly and commonly has fifteen se~arate agencies/services represented.
As plans for the Housing Task Force proceed, I urge you to Include a repre-
sentative member fran our body, whlch, in turn lIOuld represent many of the
human service concerns In this comnuni ty. This lIOuld be one way in which those
populations in most need could have a voice.
I applaud your plans for the Housing Task Force,

Dear Stever
I understand you are taking applications for the special
committee to study housing in Iowa City. I know thera is only
room for a limited number of applicants, so I am not applying for
one of the slots.
Howover, I am willing to make a prosentotion to the committee
about the national hOUSing picturo and how it affects the Iowa
City population, os well as the housing situation for public
walfore recipients and others with very low income, I would also
be willing to work with a subcommittee to brainstorm ways that
Iowa City can creatively meet the nead for affordable housing,
In short, I am not applying for a seat on the commission, but I
am Willing to help in any way I can to address this very serious
problem.
Sincorely,
ilin\
