annually was received. The total award for five years is
$636,9,0. The distribution is 20 one Bedroom and 5 two
eedroom units. This award carries an administrative fee of
8.2% of the two bedroom Fair Market Rent (8.2% X 537), which
equals an administration fee of $917 per month.
These Certificates may be used as soon as the contract is

help of the staff, lease up should occur sometime within the
first ninety days from contract Signing. In the past, staff

TO: City Council and City Manager
FROM: ~tf Marianne Milkman, Community Development Coordinator
GlWSteven Nasby, Associate Planner
RE: 1993 CDBG Budget Revision
This revision is done annually after the reconciliation of the budget for the last program year.
The attached CDBG budget, Exhibit A, has been revised to reflect the actual Fiscal Year 1992
program expenditures, receipts and carryovers.
Budget changes on Exhibit A are noted In BOLD. Several adjustments have been made to the
line item expenditures and to the total amount of resources allocated. The following Is a brief
discussion of these Items.
1. Housino Rehabilitation: Adjusted upward by $134,B81 due to tha carryover from
FY92. Much of the money Is obligated. This high figure reflects the projects which
were waiting for the HOME program to begin. At this time the HOME projects are
underway and most of this money will be expended in the near future.
2. LIFE Skills, Inc.: Adjusted upward by $1,038 due to unexpended obligations from
FY92. A staffing change in tha Housing Educational Support program was the reason
for the unexpended amount.
3. Downoavment Assistance Proaram: Adjusted upward by $3,902 due to unexpended
obligetlons from FY92.
4.
General Administration: Adjusted upward by $9,680 due to unexpended funds from
FY92. This was due to staffing changes within the Community Development Division.
5.
Continaencv: Adjusted upward by $22,891 to reflect overall changes In the CDBG,
budget. .
The amounts listed under "Sources of Funds" have also been revised to show the reconciled
figures for FY93.
1. 1992 Proaram Carrvover: $206,977
2. 1992 Proaram Income: $75,415 actuel income, adjusted down from the estimated
figure of $80,000.
3. 1993 Estimated Proaram Income: $70,000
4. Total CDBG Budaet Amount: $1.244,392,lncludlng all edjustments.

From:
Re: EDA Special Disaster Recovery Grant to Assist Funding a Project to Elevate
North Dubuque Street
The Council Agenda includes a resolution authorizing the submission of an application for an
Economic Development Administration (EDA) special disaster recovery grant for the purpose
of funding a project to elevate North Dubuque Street. The purpose of the grant is to provide
financial assistance to communities that have experienced natural disasters, in our instance
flooding. The grant targets flood-related projects that benefit business and industry by limiting
economic losses caused by flooding. Elevating North Dubuque Street would Improve the
economic well-being of businesses In' the Central Business District and the University of Iowa
by ensurJng reliable traffic flow on North Dubuque Street during times of flooding on the Iowa
RJver.
The grant requires that the City provide a twenty-five (25) percent local match for the project.
Preliminary estimates have the project costing approximately $2.5 million; the 'City'S share
would be approximately $625,000. The resolution states the City's commitment to provide
the twenty-five (25) percent local match for the project.
The first step In the grant process Is to submit a proposal brief to the Community Economic
Recovery Coordinator In our region, who is James Crean with the East Central Iowa Council
of Governments. Mr. Crean will then forward the proposal to the Iowa EDA representative,
the EDA Denver office, and the EDA Washington office. Following their review and if the EDA
approves the proposal brief, the City will be requested to submit a formal application to EDA.
A simller revJew process occurs with the formal application.

Attached is the final version of the 1994.1998 Iowa City Comprehensive Housing

last saw the document:

1. Citizen comments have been added on p. 78.
2. A change was mede on p. 48 (last paragraph). taking out Section 8 assistance
as an example of "source of Income." This was clarified because Section 8 Is
not considered a source of Income.
3. The definition of "family" as required for the CHAS has been added in the
Glossary of Terms. on p. 80.

Council approval of the CHAS will be requested at the November 9. 1993 City Council
meeting. Following Council approval, the document will be mailed to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development's regional office in Omaha.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
The City of Iowa City Is preparing a Comprehensive Housing Affordablllty Strategy (CHAS), as
required by the 1992 National Affordable Housing Act for federal funding of most housing
programs. The CHAS Is a comprehensive planning document that Identifies a city's overall need
for affordable and supportive housing, and outlines a five-year strategy and a one-year action plan
to address those needs. The Act requires each local Jurisdiction's CHAS to describe the housing
needs and market condlUons In a community profile; set out a five-year strategy that determines
priorities for meeting those needs; and establish a short-term Investment plan for the coming year.
The CHAS Is more than a prerequisite for funding or a monitoring tool for the Department of
Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) own use. The major purpose of the CHAS Is to
encourage Jurisdictions to develop a comprehensive, long.term strategy for addressing their
affordable and supportive housing needs. The process of developing a CHAS represents an
opportunity to Involve clllzens and community groups In Identifying and assessing the Jurisdiction's
overall housing needs, establishing priorities, and developing a plan to meet the Identified goals.
Once In place, the CHAS serves as a useful tool for guiding the City's housing decisions.
Summary of Identified Needs
Housing In Iowa City Is expensive and there are not enough affordable units. Census data
Indicate that 36 percent of all households In Iowa City experience some kind of housing problem.
_ either unaffordable (costing over 30 percent of monthly Income), overcrowded, and/or
substandard housing. Most of these households have housing that Is un affordable, according to
HUD's deflnlllon. For renter households, this number climbs to 53 percent. The greatest burden
falls on large renter families of five or more people.
Of approximately 6,500 very low-Income renter households (below 50 percent of the Median
Family Income), which Includes many students, thirteen percent, or 820 households, are assisted
with public housing, or Section 8 vouchers or certificates through the City's Assisted Housing
Program. The Program has a waiting list of another 550. For any assisted housing unit, the walt
Is at least nine months; for a three-bedroom unit, the walt averages over fifteen months. Even
If the Public Housing Authority were to acquire enough assistance from the Federal govemment
to meet this need, the actual supply of rental housing units would be Inadequate.
Iowa City also has a substantial homeless population that needs assistance to find permanent
affordable housing. The undupllcated count of homeless persons In FY93 Is 1,201. In the
coming year, some of the need for emergency shelter will be addressed through the construction
of a new 50,bed shelter for victims of domestic abuse, but permanent solutions must be found
for the homeless population.
Five-Year Strategy
Iowa City's affordable housing priorities will continue to be to expand the stock of affordable
housing, maintain existing affordable housing units, and to assist people In staying In
housing. In addition, planning and research activities will be focused on the numerous barriers
to affordable housing In Iowa City, and strategies for assisting the hard-to.house segment of the
population, Including the feasibility of developing more single. room occupancy (SRO) housing.

As In previous years, the primary policy directive of this CHAS will be to serve those most
In need.
Malnlenance of the affordable housing stock Is crucial In Iowa City. Although Iowa City has
relatively few substandard, vacant, or dilapidated housing units, rehabilitation of housing Is
extremeJy Important In order to keep up the units that do exist. New construction of affordable
rental and owner-occupied units Is another priority because of the extremely tight housing market.
Third, assisting those 'organizations that help keep people In housing with support services will
conUnue to be a priority since for many special needs populations, just finding housing Is not
enough. Finally, more work Is needed In researching new ways to overcome the barriers to
expanding the supply of decent, affordable housing units In Iowa City, In particular barriers
associated with a lack of vacant land zoned for mulU.famlly and manufactured housing, financial
and land resources, and community altitudes. .
One-Year Annual Plan
To Implement the goals outlined above, the City and other actors will undertake specific projects
In the 1994 federal fiscal year, In the following areas: acquisition, new construction, rehabilitation,
flood damage repair, rental assistance, homebuyers assistance, support facilities and services
for special needs populations, and research and planning. The estimated number of households
to be affected are:
Acquisition 5
New construction (rental & owner-occupied) 58
Rehabilitation (rentaVhomeowner) 212'
Rental assistance 850
Homebuyers assistance 6
, 80 of these are homeowners that will be assisted due to flood damage.
In addition, support facilities and services will continue to be provided by Systems Unlimited,
ICARE, Youth Homes, Domestic Violence Intervention Program, Emergency Housing Project,
LIFE Skills, MECCA, Elderly Services Agency, and. the Mary O. Coldren Home. Neighborhood
Centers of Johnson County, United Action for Youth and other Human Service agencies and City
groups also provide support services.
Research and planning will focus on the feasibility of development of SRO housing, the location
and zoning for additional manufactured housing sites, affordable multi. family rental housing, and
associated development and zoning Issues.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE 1994-1998 CHAS
.... ~ ~ '" ~ ....---' -. '"
On April 19, 1993, City of Iowa City Department of Planning and Community Development staff
began work on the CHAS with a meeting with approximately 20 human service providers to
discuss methods for collecting data on the homeless. On June 18, 1993, a notice of public
meeting was published Jn the Iowa City Press-Citizen, and a public meeting was held at 6:30 p.m.
on June 23, 1993. The meeting was co-sponsored by both the Iowa City Housing Commission
and the Commlllee on Community Needs. ApproxImately 90 letters of InvItation were mailed to
human service agencies, affordable housing agencies, local lending institutions, housing builders
and developers, and others.
On June 29, 1993, City staff from various City departments met to discuss the sections Jn the
CHAS on lead-based paint hazard reduction. On July 13, August 10, September 21, and October
12, 1993, the Iowa City Housing Commission reviewed and discussed draft sections of the CHAS
during its regular monthly meetings, which are open to the public. On August 1 0, a draft CHAS
was sent to City staff in Planning and Community Development (urban planning, human services,
and rehab), Housing and Inspection Services (assisted housing and Inspections), and the Human
Rights Coordinator.
A notice for the beginning of the public comment period and to announce the availability of the
draft report was published In the Press-ClUzen on October 7, 1993. Also on that day, a summary
of the five-year CHAS was published In the paper. On October 11, 1993 the 30.cJay public
comment period bagan. A public hearing notice was published on October 21, and the Iowa City
City Council held a public hearing on the CHAS at Its regular meeting of October 26, 1993. On
November 9,1993, the City Council adopted the 1994.1998 Iowa City CHAS.

I. COMMUNITY PROFILE
I.B. Market and Inventory Characteristics
l.a.1. Community Descriotlon
I.B.1.I. Background and Trends
For years, Iowa City has had unique housing needs due to the presence of the University of Iowa
as well as Its large medical complexes. The demands created by these Institutions often
negatively affect the elderly, new households and families; many compete with students for
housing In and around the downtown, close to both the University and other main centers of
employment. The University Is the largest employer In the City (21,000) and the student
population accounts for approxlmalely a third of Iowa City's 59,738 residents. The University of
Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) allract patients from well beyond the county limits, many of
whom require long-term outpatient care and, likewise, housing In Iowa City.
In addition to the hospitals themselves, Iowa City Is a regional center for the provision of many
social and supportive services. Even when hospital care Is no longer needed, clients may find
It beneflclalto stay In the City for other services, Families and Individuals often come to Iowa City
to take advantage of the social services available. These persons need housing and often come
with few resources of their own. Quantifying this phenomenon Js nearly Impossible, but the
anecdotal evidence Is abundant.
Demand Exceeds Suoplv
There are several noticeable trends In the history of the Iowa City housing market. The tenuous
balance between supply, demand and affordablllty began to shift with the first major Influx of
university students In the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s. These students came on the GI
Bill, many with young families. The University responded to the students' housing needs by
building 'temporary' housing, some of which was used for several decades. In the private
housing market, developers quickly built small slngle.famlly 'starter houses.' Many older houses
were converted Into rental units to meet the ongoing need for student housing. Over time, these
conversions also lead to deterioration of the Inner city housing stock.
The Cltv Responds
In the seventies, the City responded by Instituting a program of biannual rental housing Inspection
In order to enforce housing codes. The Housing Inspection Program began with a survey of the
City In 1976. The program continues today and Is Instrumental In maintaining decent, safe rental
housing. The 'student ghello' around the University was highlighted as part of the urban renewal
of the late 1960s and 1970s. extensive changes downtown resulted In removal of a portion of
Inexpensive and substandard student housing, Apartment compleXes began to line the streets
of nearby older residential neighborhoods at the expense of slngle.famlly dwellings. Until the mid.
1980s, the University grew continuously. The steady expansion almost doubled the number of
students as well as staff. This Increased the pressure on the housing market, causing prices to
Increase markedly.
The City's Public HOUSing Aulhorlty was organized In the 1970s to meet the diverse housing
needs of the growing community. The PHA has aggressively pursued funding to address the
ever.mountlng need In Iowa City. According to the 1990 Census, over 30 percent of Iowa City

households are In need of housing assistance (see HUD Table lC, page 21A). This figure does
Include student renter households, many of whom are temporarily low-Income. At present there
are nearly 820 households receiving housing assistance and another 550 are on waiting lists.
Preservlna Houses and Nelahborhoods
As the cost of new housing continues to rise, the viability of the existing housing stock becomes
Increasingly important. Continued upgrading and maintenance of the housing stock Is critical.
In some cases, lower-Income homeowners, as well as persons who are elderly or disabled, need
assistance In maintaining their homes and making them accessible. In rehabilitating and
maintaining older homes, consideration must also be given to preservation of historic structures
and to energy conservation measures that will reduce heating and cooling costs. Some
moderate-Income homeowners also need assistance In maintaining older homes. In addition,
there Is a need to help first-time homebuyers with rehabilitation. Frequently, moderate-Income,
first-time homebuyers can only afford those older homes that are In need of considerable repairs..
The City's Housing Rehabilitation Program, which works to preserve and maintain affordable
housing, began In 1976. In addition to assisting homeowners, the program has been committed
to the upgrading and maintenance of the City's rental housing stock. Most of these units are
located In structures In the central part of the City. These structures are generally older, single-
family homes converted to three or more rental units.
The great demand for affordable housing threatens not only the economic viability but also the
architectural Integrity of the Iowa City housing stock. Broad-based historic preservation efforts
In Iowa City were without formal organization or municipal structure until the 1980s. Increased
public awareness of the architectural richness of Iowa City lead to efforts to protect local
landmarks as well as maintain private residences. In 1983, the City appointed a Historic
Preservation Commission and approved a Preservation Ordinance. A Hlstorlo Preservation Plan
was approved by the City Council In 1992.
Today, preservation efforts Include the total neighborhood envJronment. Neighborhoods that
originally rallied In support of historic recognlllon and In reaction to undesired changes began to
organize for ongoing neighborhood advocacy. Currentiy the City has a Neighborhood Services
Coordinator who assists In the organlzr.lIon of the newly-formed neighborhood associations.
Iowa City Is literally growing In size through annexation and development In Johnson County has
also skyrocketed. The local economy Is growing as new businesses locate In the area and
existing businesses expand, and the University Hospitals continue to grow. The strong economic
base of Iowa City has maintained housing prices while elsewhere In the State and In the nation,
the market declined. It has also contributed to the extremely low vacancy rates that translate Into
a shortage of affordable housing In Iowa City.
1993 Flood Damaae
The summer 1993 flood In the Midwest has affected over 270 homes In Iowa City, many of which
are owned by low-Income persons. In particular, the Baculls and Thatcher mobile home parks
and the houses In the 'Showers Estates' area sustained heavy damage.

l.a.1.II. Demographics
General Profile
The University of Iowa and the University Hospitals and Clinics, as well as other local businesses
have an Impact not only on the housing situation but also on the character of Iowa City. In the
last decade, Iowa City experienced an unanticipated population growth of 18 percent. this
Increase has resulted In additional stress on the housing market as It strains to meet mounting
housJng needs.
Iowa City has a predominantly young population. The median age of 24.9, which Is lower than
both the state (34.0) and national level (32.9), reflects the student population. The Increased
number of graduate students, whose median age Is 30 years, contrlbules to a sllghtiy older
median age than In 1980. Approximately 25 percent of the population Is under eighteen or over
65 years, compared to the state and national levels which hover around 40 percent. Although
there are proportionately fewer persons who are elderly In Iowa City, their housing needs are less
likely to be adequately met, because they compete with students for housing, too.
A majority of all households In Iowa City are 'non-family' households and more than half are
renters. Many students are renters, but It Is difficult to discern exactly what number of renters are
students. Only 45 percent of the housing units In Iowa City are owner-occupied. This compares
with a state level of 64 percent, and a national level of 70 percent.
Mlnorltv pooulatlon Trends
Over the last decade, Iowa City exper,lenced an 18 percent growth In population. It Is expected
that Iowa City will sustain some of this population growth In the coming years. Nearly all minority
populations Increased between 1980 and 1990. The percentage of Asian and Paclflc Islanders
In Iowa City Increased by 188 percent. Many people In this group either allend or work for the
University. Percentages of both Black (non-Hispanic) and Hispanic (all races) populations grew
by over 50 percent. According to the 1990 Census, over 50 percent of households In these
minority groups are very low-Income (see HUD Table lA). Overall, minority groups represent 9
percent of the total population In iowa City.
Aae and Household Tvoe
There are several notable f1uctuallons among specific population groups In Iowa City over the last
decade. Using the overall 18 percent population Increase as a measure, It Is possible to note the
age groups and household types that changed. The age cohort of 19 years and under Is the only
group to register a loss as a percentage of the total population. Among households, there was
a four percentage point decrease In total population of both family households and married-couple
households. Female-headed households are stili only six percent of the total population. Many
female-headed households may reside elsewhere In the area due to Iowa City's cost of housing.
Concurrently, there was an Increase of non-family households. This type of household showed
the greatest Increase In the percentage of the total population, with a 3,7 percent Increase In
percent of the population. Presently, 50 percent of Iowa City households are non-family
households. This may reflect an Increase of non-traditional, unrelated 'families', and has
occurred despite a decline In University enrollment.

or with recent graduates who have not found good job prospects. Although many married
graduate students live in Hawkeye Courts (married student housing with 749 units), the University
does not offer designated graduate housing for unmarried graduate students. Graduale students
can apply for limited space In undergraduale dormitories, If desired. Older students commonly
prefer to Itve Independently In more peaceful environments. Affordable and avallabJe housJng Is
aJso a problem for families that relocate to the area while the head of the household allends
school. The situation implies a temporary stay In Iowa City as well as a substantial reduction In
earnings.
The 1992-1993 Fall Enrollment was 27,463 students. Of these approxJmateJy 77 percent, or
21,147, live In Iowa CJty. About 5,500 students reside In UnlversJty housJng, 1000 students live
in fraternity or sorority houses, 749 live In family housing, while the rest of the resident population
(approxlmateJy 13,900 students) find Jodglng on the prJvate market. The UnlversJty anticipates
a slight decline In enrollment over the next few years. Enrollment Is expected to stabilize at
between 26,000 to 27,000 students.
Local Econom~
Iowa City managed to prosper at a time when the national and state economies stagnated.
American College Testing (ACT), a local firm, announced In 1992, plans to expand Its corporate
headquarters In Iowa CJty. The UnJverslty of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics began construction of
the Eye Institute and Family Care Center In 1992 and General Mills Js preparing to 'open a
processing facility that will empJoy between 50 and 60 workers.
These few examples demonstrate the continued growth of the Iowa City area economy. This
growth has kept the unemployment rate low and sustained a livable median Jncome level. In
1989, the median family Income for Iowa City was $39,605. The highest percentage of the total
population falls within the $15,000-24,999 Income bracket (1980: 22.8%, 1990: 18.6%). This
percentage may be Jndlcatlve of the student population and the abundance of part-time, minimum
wage jobs Jn service sector Industries that support the University and Its students such as copy
services, restaurants, bookstores and Clothing and specJalty shops.
While the abundant part. time service jobs are appropriate for the student popuJatlon, they do not
provide a livable wage for many other households. Although difficult to document, It Is the opinion
of many experts that underemployment Is a significant problem In Iowa City, There Is a need to
create more employment opportunities that offer a living wage and utilize the skills and training
of the work force. The City's Community Development Plan for 1993-1998 Indicates that
economic development should be directed In part toward Increasing the affordable housing stock
Jn Iowa City. Local employers complain about hiring difficulties because of the high cost of living
In Iowa City. In addition, a diversified tax base would lessen the burden for low- and moderate.
Income homeowners and renters. These measures would not only Improve Iowa City's job
outlook but also Jncrease the stock of affordable housing.
1.0.1,11I. Areas of Concentration: MInorities ond Low-Income
When considering the minority popuJatlon of Jowa City, It Js valuable to note the low proportions
of mJnorltles throughout the Slate. Jowa Js predominantly White with 1.7 percent Black, 1.2
percent Hispanic, and less than one percent each of Native American and AsJan populations.
Iowa City's academJc, medJcal, athletic and business environments attract a wJde variety of
people. Blacks (non-HlspanJc) make up 2.5 percent of Ihe populallon while Asians (non-Hispanic)

are at 5.6 percent and people of Hispanic origin account for 1.7 percent. The only minority group
less than the State level Is the Native American population.
Concentrations of minority groups are determined to be any tract with a percentage greater than
the citywide proportion. Not surprisingly, the areas surrounding the University show the greatest
concentrations of minorities. Even so, It Is perhaps misleading to label these 'minority
concentrations, ' since the total numbers are so small. Tracts 4 and 6 consist of University-owned
student housing and apartment complexes close to the University. For a discussion of the City's
fair housing policies and activities, see Part lI.c.l.
Concentrations of low-Income populations are defined as tracts where the poverty level Is greater
than the citywide number. Overall, 23.4 percent of Iowa City's population Is living below the
poverty level. The map tilled 'Concentrations of Low-Moderate Income Households' shows that
most of the tracts of high concentration of low- and moderate-Income households are adjacent
to the University campus. There are several reasons that we find minority and Jow-and moderate-
Income households highly concentrated In the same tracts around the campus. First, many of
the low-Income concentration areas are student neighborhoods. It Is expected that many of these
people are 'temporarily poor' and once done with college, will move Into a higher eamlng bracket.
Second, there are more apartment complexes with high tum-over rates In these tracts therefore
attracting the temporary citizens of Iowa City. Finally, It appears that location may be more
Influential than housing costs In these tracts. A quick survey comparing median housing costs
In these tracts with the citywide median housing costs reveals that there Js 1I11le difference
between areas cost-wise.
The only difference between minority and Income concentration Is Tract 9. This area has a high
concentration of Asians and persons of Hispanic origin, many of whom are presumed to be
professionals associated with the University and the hospltaJ because of the value of the housing
stock and the proximity to the University. Thus there Is a high concentration of minority
households without a corresponding low-Income level.

i:a.2. Market and Inventory Conditions
1.0.2.1. General Market and Inventory
Supplv and Demand
There are 22,464 housing units In Iowa City, not Including dormitories and University of Iowa
family apartments. Of that number, only 513 units are vacant. More than half of the vacant units
are for sale. Most three-bedroom units are owner-occupied; the opposite Is true for two-bedroom
units. Overall, almost 80 percent of the two-bedroom units are rental units while close to 50
percent of the vacant two-bedroom units are for renl. Nearly all efficiency and one-bedroom units
are rental units.
Conslruction 01 new housing units nearly doubled In the last five years. In 1992,210 single-family
dwellings were constructed. That number Is up 47 percent from 1991 and the first time that more
than 200 new single-family homes have been added to Iowa City since 1977.

Because the University of Iowa Is the largest employer In the area, many homebuyers are
University employees. Some people afflllaled with the University, such as graduate students or
resident Interns, plan to live here only two or three years. They find It financially beneficial to buy
rather Uhan rent a home.
Other homebuyers come from the West or East coasts, where they sold their homes and need
to reinvest that money to avoid tax liabilities. Stili others are families already established In the
community who move up to a larger home. Another trend Is parents of college students are
buying homes (often condominiums) for one or more of their children to live In while attending the
University.

An altematlve to homeownershlp Is renting. Over half the residents of Iowa City are renters. The
rental market has a cyclical rhythm based on the University calendar. At certain times of the year
such as October when leases have been signed and students have settled Into almost all
available units, It Js nearJy Impossible to find adequate and affordable housing; The highest rents
are for units located wlthJn one mile of the campus. OutlyJng areas are somewhat more
reasonably priced.

Sources: Iowa CIty Rental Housing SurveYi 1982, 1984, 1986, 1989
Note: The surveys used to compile these vacancy rates Included Coralville In the samples. The
percentage of the samples that are from Coralville are different, however, for each year.
1982: not available 1986: 26%
1984: 26% 1989: 16%
The rental housing market In Iowa City has historically had very low vacancy rates, resulting In
high rents. In 1982, the Iowa City Rental Housing Survey showed that the vacancy rate for rental
housing was about 1.5 percent. The 1986 Rental Housing Survey showed a higher rate of about
,5.2 percent. The results of the 1986 Survey reflect the surge of apartment construction.
However, the 1989 rate of about 1.2 percent Indicated room In the market for additional rental
housing, especially apartments larger than one bedroom. The average vacancy rate In 1989 for
two- and three.bedroom apartments, shown In Table 1-3, Is extremely low at about 0.4 percent.
Although computations In HUD Table lB (page llA) show the rental vacancy rate at 2.18
percent, the 1990 Census of Housing figured the rental vacancy rate at 1.7 percent. The laller
number Is considered by experts to most accurately represent the situation. The vacancy rate
for owner-occupied units hovers at ,8 percent.
Apartment construction continues at a great pace In the City, with approximately 500 units built
In the last eighteen months. Hopefully this will help to Increase the vacancy rate, stabilize, and
eventually lower rents. Landlords have Indicated that before the 1993 Flood, their projected
vacancy rate for August 1993 was closer to five percent.

Cost of Houslna
Iowa City has the housing cost problems at a major metropolitan area without the resources to
solve the problem. Both median rent and value of owner-occupied units are comparable to the
nationwide levels. (See Chart C-l, page 12A.)
The median monthly contract rent for Iowa City Is $368 which Is only $6 less than the national
median. The state's median contract rent Is $261. The value of owner-occupied housing repeats
the same scenario. The medJan value of owner-occupied housing In Iowa City Is $79,000;
nationwide, the number Is $79,100 while on the state level It Is only $45,900.
There are very few homes in Iowa City valued at less than $50,000 while statewide more than
half of the homes fall In this category. Sixty-four percent of owner-occupied homes In Iowa City
are valued between $50,000 and $99,999. (See Chart C-2, page 12B.)
In order to afford a median cost home ($79,000) In Iowa City In 1990, the home buyer would have
to earn a mJnlmum annual salary of approximately $32,000 assuming few other debts. The
median household Income Is $24,565, while non-family households, which are the majority of
households In Iowa City, earn $15,270. Taking Into account that many non-family households
quite possibly are students or post,graduale young adults, this Is stili very difficult for first-time
homebuyers.
Renters and homebuyers alike face this housing crisis. If the cost of housing Is more than 30
percent of the households' monthly Income, the household Is considered by HUD to have a
housing problem. Jn Iowa City, 61 percent of all rslated households of five or more members
have some housing problem. Fifty-nine percent of all other renting households are In the same
predicament. Overall, fourteen percent of homeowners and 53 percent of renters encounter
housing problems.
Manufactured homes are some of the least costiy homes to purchase In Iowa City. At present,
there are approximately 1,000 mobile homes In Iowa City. During the 1993 flooding, two mobile
home parks, which are In the floodplain, sustained damages. In addition, a park of approximately
70 homes Is currently being closed.
Condition of Houslno
Most housing In Iowa City Is In fairly good condition. Only one percent of housing, both rental
and owner.occupled, is considered by experts to be 'substandard.' Much of this housing Is In
the City's mobile home parks. Sixty-three percent of owner-occupied structures were built after
1959. The median age of all housing stock Is 26 years.
In Iowa City, the amount of rental housing will consistently be greater than owner.occupled units
because of the nature of the market. Only In the 1950s did the number of owner-occupied
housing units built outweigh rental units for the same period. This may be attributed to the post-
war building boom and federal financing for flrst.time homeowners The University's growth and
subsequent need for housing Is rellected In the large number of rental units built from the 1970s
to the present. .
There Is a significant number of rental units that are among the oldest housing In the City.
However, housing code enforcement has Improved the condition of rental housing overall, and

because of the high demand, units are almost never abandoned, but rather maintained and
Improved to meet the minimum code requirements.
Imcedlments and Occortunltles
There are several Impediments to building low- and moderately-priced housing In Iowa City. First,
there Is limited vacant land within the City boundarJes that Is suitably zoned. Second, land costs
are high and dramatically Increase the price of the home. third, the market demand for upscale,
custom-built homes deters construction of affordable housing. The fourth problem Is complicated
govemmentprograms for affordable housing. Many levels of government try to provIde Incentives
to developers with programs designed to promote the building of affordable housing but these
programs require extra work for the developer and complicated financial packaging. A five- to
20.year commitment to keep rents In the project affordable may enter Into the decision for some
for-profit developers, too.
The housing market has long been off-limIts to low- and moderate-Income families seeking to
purchase a home. The relatively high price of housing, high Interest rates (currently low, but high
Jn the past and possibly again), a limited supply of homes under $100,000, and an Inability to
accumulate the necessary ten percent In downpayment funds have kept most of these families
paying rent to a landlord.

All levels of govemment as well as the private sector are exploring options to Increase
affordablllty of both owner-occupied and rental housing. For a description of programs, especially
those Jocal efforts, see Part I.e., 'Available Resources.' Also see Part lI.c.l., 'Relevant Public
Policies' for a discussion of barriers to affordable 'housing and policies to address them.
Overcrowdlno
Based on the 1990 census, overcrowding Is slightly more of a problem than It was In 1980. The
number of people per household has Increased In the past ten years, especially In rental units.
A substantial Increase Is seen In the number of units with more than one person per room, which
Increased by 93 percent In ten years, but It Is stili only a very small percentage of all units.
1980 2.5 persons per owner-occupied unit
1.7 persons per rental unit
366 units with more than 1 person per room
(2.0 percent of all occupied housing units are overcrowded)
1990 2.7 persons per owner-occupied unit
2.1 person per rental unit
73 owner.occupled units with more than 1 person per room
635 renter-occupied units with more than 1 person per room
(3.2 percent of all occupied housing units are overcrowded)
Source: Census, 1980 and 1990
We can look at relative overcrOWding by race and Hispanic origin by comparing the racial
composlllon of the overall population to the racial composition of occupied housing units. As seen
Jn Table 1-5, Whites are the only group where the percentage of occupied housing units Is greater
than the corresponding percentage of the population, I.e., 90 percent of the white population
occupIes over 91 percent of the total available housing units. Based on this, overcrowding seems

Lead-Based Paint Hazards
The presence of lead poisoning In children Is an Important problem nationally. Iowa City has kept
abreast of lead-based paint (LBP) Issues and regulations through several City divisions Including
Planning and Community Development, Housing and Inspection Services, and the Public Housing
Authority. Lead-based paint has not, to dale, been a significant problem with children In Iowa
City. _
The Community Development Division has done limited testing of children and structures through
Its Housing Rehabilitation Program. Four or five paint tests and three tests on children have been
conducted In the last four or five years. To date all units owned by the Public Housing Authority
have had lead abatement and therefore do not pose a threat to low-Income children In Iowa City.
According to the Johnson County Department of Public Health there have been extremely few
cases of lead poisoning In Johnson County. Statistics are not available however because due
to the lack of cases of lead poisoning In children, they have not been tested on a wider basis.
The Johnson County Department of Public Health also feels that the threat of lead poisoning Is
difficult to ascertain given the lack of quality data. One recent study tested children at six day care
facilities and found only one child wllh an elevated lead blood level. Because of the small number
of cases, no generalizations can be made as to locations or neighborhoods In Iowa City that
might be considered hazardous.
Linn County (an urbanized county adjacent to Johnson County which Includes the City of Cedar
Rapids) conducted a study In cooperation wllh the Iowa Department of Public Health that showed
only two to five percent of children In that county had elevated lead blood levels. This figure Is
significantly lower than the State of Iowa level which Is approximately seven percent and the
natlona' level which Is estimated at ten to fifteen percent.

Iowa City's situation Is unique In lhat a high number of the City's housing units are occupied by
university students who are not at risk of lead poisoning. Many of these housing units, generally
rentals, are also located In the downtown neighborhoods which are the oldest In the City. To
complicate the situation, these students, traditionally, are low- to moderate-Income households.
Because of this, Iowa City shows a large number of low- and very low,lncome persons living In
units with the greatest risk of lead-based palnt hazard due to the age of the structure, as
evidenced by the maps below. This fact skews the focus on LBP In Iowa City. The number of
children actually affected by lead,based paint In Iowa City may be comparable to or smaller than
the numbers obtained by the Linn County study.
Table 1-6 shows the estimated number of units In Iowa City containing lead. This number was
calculated using Census and HUD data. In addition, the table estimates the number of units
occupied by families with children under seven years of age who may be at risk. Also, Table 1-7
shows the census tracts that have a hJgher Incidence of LBP than the citywide average. It must
be noted that these tables show only estimates of lead.based paint hazards In Iowa City
based on national statistics and may not be an accurate reflection of Iowa City's housing
stock.

Income households. As Indicated In the table, 6,385 renters experience housing problems (see
Section I.b.l. for a definition of housing problem).
HOUSing and housing assistance In Iowa City Is currently provided through both publicly and
privately funded programs as follows:
Assisted Houslna: Public Houslna and Section 8
Presently the Assisted Housing Program (administered by the Iowa City Public Housing Authority),
provides rental assistance to 820 units In three programs, Section 8 Certltlcates and Vouchers
and Public Housing, to families and Individuals that are eligible under the 50 percent ot median
Income guidelines. All three programs have operated at 96 to 103 percent occupancy levels.
Assistance under the three programs Is distributed as Indicated In Table 1-8.

The Public Housing Authority owns 82 units scattered throughout the Cily. Twenty units were
purchased In 1992 and 1993. The Housing Authority has applied tor funding to buy and/or
construct 40 additional unils: 30 three-bedroom and ten four-bedroom unils. Twenty of these
units will require the sale of 20 existing public housing unils. All public housing Is In generally
good condition but has modemlzatlon needs. The Housing Authority Is applying tor Comprehen-
sive Improvement money to meel this need. Four ot the unils are handicapped-accessible.
According to ADA regulations, every newly-constructed unit must be accessible and older units
must be adaptable. When older units are repaired, the changes are made In compliance with
ADA.
There Is a great demand for one- and two-bedroom apartments. The average wail for housing
assistance tor two-bedroom units Is over a year. Ailhough there are many unils at this size in
Iowa City, students compete tor them and often live In overcrowded situations In order to make
the rent affordable.
Many housing and human service providers In Iowa City agree that there Is also a shortage of
three- and tour-bedroom units, both In the Assisted Housing Program, and In the market as a
whole. Only 14 percent of all housing units have four or more bedrooms. There are only ten
pubilc housing unils wilh tour-bedrooms or more and twelve families on the waiting list tor these

According to Table 1-9, the longest walt In the Assisted Housing Program Is for three-bedroom
apartments, closely tollowed by the walt for two-bedroom apartments. However, a substantial
number ot families (108) are waiting for units ot three bedrooms or more. In addition, the rental
vacancy rate tor three.bedroom apartments In Iowa City overall was 0.3 percent In 1989. Many
housing advocates feel that one of the greatest needs Is additional affordable rental units ot three
bedrooms. This size unit Is very attractive to students who are only able to afford the rent by
sharing. A recent development ot three- and four-bedroom units has largely been rented by
students. Since there Is a high demand for these units, landlords can aftord to be choosy.

,2 There are three Federal Preferences for Assisted Housln9, Applicants must be enher 1) Involuntarily
displaced, 2) living In substandard housing, or 3) paying more than 50 percent of their Income on rent. The
Iowa Cny Housing Authority has no local preference system. All Federal Preferences are treated as equal
with no Increased preference for munlple Federal Preferences; Qualnled Individuals and families are served
by bedroom size on a flrst.come, flrst.served basis.
Public Housing and Section 8 vacancies are filled from one list. Applicants may choose to wan tor a
specHIc assistance program and are not penalized for refusing an oHer of a certillcate, voucher, or public
housing unn. Public housing oilers are based on social and financial payment histories.
l Assisted households can belong to cne or more categories, such as Male Head of Household and
Disabled; therefore, the househclds In this table overlap and add up to more than the 820 households that
are actually assisted by the Iowa City Housing Authorny.
· Represents household type (which overlaps In this table) as a percentage of the number of assisted
households, which total 820; therefore percentages do not add up to 100 percent (see preVious footnote).
For example, 67 percent of all assisted households are female-headed households. Thirty percent of all
assisted households are considered dlsabied; some of these may also be female-headed,
I According to HUD, the head of household Is that member actually looked to and held accountable for
family needs. A female head of household may be married, tor example,
I For the purposes of the Assisted Housing Program, an elderly household Is one In which the head
of the housahold or spouse Is at least 62 years of age.

Many of the disabled, handicapped, and elderly clients receiving assistance through the Assisted
Housing Program have received some type of supportive services. Ot those receiving assistance,
three handicapped and four disabled Individuals are Identified as requiring assistance In dally
flvlng to the extent that they must have IIve.ln helpers.
Table 1-12 shows racial and ethnic breakdowns ot tam Illes assisted by the Iowa City Housing
Authority. Overall, 85 percent of those assisted are White and approximately twelve percent are
Black.
Table 1-12. Assisted Families by Race and Ethnlclty (Percentages)

(# units) White Black Indian Asian Hispanic.
Public Housing (82) 75.0 22,2 2.8 0 8.3

Section 8 Vouchers (246) 86.5 12.0 0.4 1.1 2.5
All 85.7 12,0 0.7 1.6 3.1
· Persons of Hispanic origin may be ot any race, therefore percentages do not total 1 00.
Since the last CHAS, there has been a notable Increase In the percentage ot Black tam Illes
assisted as well as slight Increases In the other minority groups, resulting In a decrease In the
percentage of White families assisted.
Proportionately, a greater percentage of White persons receive assistance through Section 8
Certificates and Vouchers rather than through Public Housing. However, the small number of
housholds In Public Housing may skew the distribution. In addition, PUbflc Housing Program
requirements dictate the distribution of minority households throughout projects; this can lead to
a higher percentage ot minority households In Public Housing units.
Section 8 certificates and vouchers are valid tor 60 days and are renewable for an addltlonal60
days, I.e., households have a maximum ot 120 days to locate a suitable unit. The local housing
market poses an enormous challenge to certificate and voucher holders, especially those with
special needs. Section 8 housing units must meet HUO regulations and the landlord must be
cooperative. Allhough many local landlords accept vouchers, 40 percent ot voucher or certificate
holders are unsuccesstulln locating housing within the first GO-day period. There are many
possible reasons tor this problem Including the tenant's desire for a specific location and ovorall
availability of housing. The Housing Authority continues to reissue the vouchers or certificates
until all are used.
Family Self,Sufflclency Program. The Assisted Housing Program Is In the process ot
developing the HUO-Inlllated Family Selt-Sufficlency (FSS) Program. The purpose Is to promote
the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of Public Housing and Section 8
programs with public and private resources, to enable eligible tamllles to achieve economic
Independence and selt-sufllclency. Future funding to establish any additional Public Housing and
Section 8 housing units In Iowa City Is dependent upon the Incorporation of the FSS program.

Awards will be based on the effectiveness and success of a comprehensive service delivery
system established through partnerships with other service providers.
In February 1993, the Public Housing Authority created the FSS Program Coordinating
Committee, which Is made up of representatives trom human service agencies, employment
services, Johnson County, Iowa City, and the Public Housing Authority.
In June 1993, a letter was sent to all Public Housing tenants to get an Idea of how many tamllles
might be Interested In participating In the FSS program. The Public Housing Authority, along with
the Coordinating Committee, Intend to submit a proposal to HUO tor the FSS Program within 90
days of being awarded any new units.

I.b. Needs Assessment
I.b.l. Current Estimates/Five-Year Prolectlons
Thirty-six percent of all households In Iowa City experience some kind ot housing problem; either
unaffordable (defined by HUD as spending more than 30 percent of monthly Income on monthly
housing costs), overcrowded, and/or physically Inadequate houslng1. Given that over 50 percent
of Iowa City households rent, and that many of these are low-Income households, It Is not
surprising that 53 percent at all renter households experience difficulty meeting housing costs,
while only lourteen'percent ot owner households d08. ,
Renter households. The most a~llcted group of renters Is large families ot five or more
members; 61 percent (175 households) encounter housing problems (see HUD Table 1 C). Fifty-
nine percent (4,577) ot unrelated renter households (64 percent of all renter households are
unrelated) endure similar circumstances. Forty-one percent ot both elderly and small related
households (339 and 1,303, respectively) also experience a need for more affordable rental
housing.
Ot the 21,964 households In Iowa City, 29 percent or 6,467 households (see HUD Table 1 C, page
20A) are renter households earning 50 percent or less ot the median family Income (MFI) and are
considered very low-Income, and 24 percent ot the total households In Iowa City are very low-
Income renter households with housing problems. For renters, eighty-two percent (5,289
households) of all very low-Income households have some housing problem. Non.famlly
households make up 70 percent (4,559 households) of very low-Income renter households with
housing problems and can be assumed to Include a considerable number of university students.
The other 30 percent, or 1 ,908 households, are family renter households below 50 percent of the
median Income.
Among other low-Income renter households (51 to 80 percent of MFI), 35 percent overall (914
households) experience housing problems, but eleven of seventeen (65 percent) large related
renter households (5 or more persons), even- In this Income category, have some housing
problem. In tact, among moderate-Income renter households (81 to 95 percent ot MFI), two of
every three large related households (fourteen households) have some housing problem, as do
68 percent of elderiy one- and two-person households (21 households) In the same Income
category. This means that high percentages ot large related and elderly renter households have
cost burdens at Income levels as high as 95% percent of MFI.
Ot 6,467 very low.lncome renters (below 50 percent MFI), only thirteen percent (820) receive
rental assistance through the Iowa City Public Housing Authority. This leaves approximately
5,650 very low-Income renter households without any assistance; according to HUD Table lC,
96 percent 01 households In this category, or some 5,420 households, might have excessive cost
burdens (over 30 percent of Income Is spent on housing costs) and might be In need ot
assistance. This number Includes many student households and other one-person (non-elderiy)
1 According to the national CHAS, National Analvsls of Houslna Affordabllitv, Adeauacv, and Avallabllllv:
A Framework for Local Hous/na Strateales (May 1993), of the three housing problems, excessive cost
burden, overcrowding, 'and physical Inadequacy, excessive cost burden Is by far the most prevalent.
I Again, these figures assume that all the households In Iowa Clly wllh housing problems suffer from
the problem of affordablllly rather than overcrowding or physical Inadequacy. The figures may be slightly
high for affordablllly only.

households not currently eligible for housing assistance under the City's program and could be
misleading. In order to better determine the number of low-Income renter households with cost
burdens not receiving assistance, It will be necessary to look more closely at client records In all
programs. It Is also Important to determine how many of the very low-Income households fall Into
the hard-to-house category.
Owner houeeholds. The situation continues to be critical tor very low-Income homeowners.
Fifty-one percent ot this group of homeowners (528 households) have some housing problem,
neariy halt (513 households) pay more than 30 percent 01 their Incomes for housing, and almost
one In'four (250 households) pay more than 50 percent. This may result In deferred maintenance
and deterioration ot the housing stock.
Cost burden affects other low-Income owner households, too, although severe cost burden (over
50 percent ot gross Income on housing) Is negligible. Among moderate-Income elderiy
homeowner households, only seven percent (fifteen households) have some housing problem and
cost burden, although 20 percent of all other moderate-Income owner households (133
households) stili have some housing problem. Further, tor many elderly homeowners, even It
their mortgage has been paid off, reducing their monthly housing costs, a large repair Item, such
as a new root, Is likely to result In a considerable burden. Especially on a fixed income repaying
a loan may be very difficult. Even one In five ot the typical moderate-Income tamlly (81-95
percent MFI) living In Iowa City and owning their own home spends more than 30 percent of their
Income on housing costs.
The next five years. Housing costs continue to rise, placing low- and moderate-Income
households at Increasing risk. Rental costs routinely rise $15 to $25 per unit each year. At the
same time, HUD's Fair Markel Rent Index Is proposed to decrease In FFY94, making the
management 01 affordable rental units less teaslble tor many developers and landlords, and
probably pulling assisted renters In an Increasingly burdensome situation. Also, In one year alone
(April 1992 to April 1993) the median home price rose by twelve percent from $90,000 to
$101,000. Few people find similar Increases In Income In one year. (In Johnson County, home
prices rose by nine percent, from $84,000 to $91,500.)
As Indicated by Increasing demands tor housing assistance, more Iowa ClUans are unable to
afford the housing costs In the City. It an effort Is not made to Increase the stock at affordable
housing, we can expect to see greater numbers of households with housing problems In the
future and a greater number of households will be forced to seek assistance which, If unavailable,
could result In relocation or even homelessness.
The rental assistance that exists must be expanded, too, It we are to meet the housing needs of
the neediest, I.e., very low-Income below 30 percent and especially those below the poverty line.
(For a discussion of poverty In Iowa City, see the Anti-Poverty StrateQV, Part IIl.c.) The priority
will be to lower the rent burdens on very low-Income renters to below 30 percent of their Incomes.
With public housing and Section 8 certificates, we can be sure that Is achieved for those who are
assisted. WIt:1the Section 8 voucher program, It cannot be assured that this goal Is reached; with
this program tenants have some choice of the units they rent and some may voluntarily choose
to pay more than 30 percent of their Incomes. In addition, It Is necessary to detennlne whether
existing assisted housing programs actUally help those most In need, which cannot be done with
Census, figures alone. In the next five years, It will be Important to determine what types ot
housing assistance best serve the various very low-Income households In need.

l.b.2. Nature and Extent of Homelessness
l.b.2.I. Needs of Sheltered and Unsheltered Homeless
Nature of Homelessness. In Iowa City the problem of homelessness has been perceived by
shelter providers as growing over recent years due to many factors that Include an Increasing
population, depressed state and national economies, the availability of social and medical
services, and geographic location. This section will briefly address these tactors as they relate
to homelessness.
As stated In the Community Profile, Iowa City's population Is Increasing more rapidly than many
communities In the mldwest. This Increase can be attributed to the University of Iowa, Including
the UI Hospitals and Clinics, and several major employers. These factors act as a magnet,
drawing In persons trom rural Iowa and out of State. According to national statistics, demographi-
cally the percentage of homeless persons has remained relatively stable; however, because ot
Iowa City's rapid population growth, the number of homeless persons has Increased.
The State and national economy Is stagnant and depressed In many areas. Iowa's economy Is
very slow and may be getting worse due to the poor weather (natural disasters) this year. This
wllllmpacl the rural areas, which In turn will affect Iowa City's economy and population, due to
the additional persons coming to Iowa City In search 01 employment. Iowa City Is fortunate to
have several major employers, as listed In the Community Profile. In addition to these major
employers there are numerous support Industries and service-oriented businesses. These smaller
businesses, typically customer service related, provide a high number ot Jobs, but many of them
are low-paying or minimum wage Jobs. Persons who hold these low-paying Jobs, especially It
they ate heads of households, cannot afford the cost of housing In Iowa City. The combination
of low pay and high housing costs cause many Individuals and families to be homeless or
threatened with homelessness.

Iowa City's wide array 01 social and medical services serve people tram not only Iowa but
surrounding states. A number of the homeless In Iowa City are In town for medical assistance
or with someone who Is In the hospital. These transient homeless persons (who cannot afford
a hotel room) place a burden on the City's emergency shelters. Also, Iowa City and Johnson
County have a comprehensive variety 01 services available that attract persons Into the area.
Many times persons coming to Iowa City for these services are homeless or In need of temporary
shelter.
Last, Iowa City's location along major transportation routes makes It an attractive stopping point
for many travelers and transients. An Increasing number ot persons using the City's emergency
shelters are trom another state. According to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Emergency Housing Project (a homeless shelter) only 31 percent ot their clients come from
Johnson County. A combination of these and other tactors has greatly Influenced the extent ot
homelessness In Iowa City, which Is discussed In the next section.
Extent of Homelessness. In 1992 the number 01 homeless persons served by emergency
shellers In Iowa City Increased from the 1991 level by nearly 60 percent, tram approximately
1,100 to 1,754. Drake University, In Des Moines, has been researching homelessness for several
years and presents an ~nnual study for Iowa counties. The Drake studies have shown a steady
Increase In the number "f homeless persons In Johnson County. In addll/on, the most recent
United Way Vision study (September 1992) shows that the homeless population In Iowa City,

Johnson County, Is 6.81 persons per 1,000 or 652 persons. This figure Is higher than the State
of Iowa rate which Is 5.16 per 1,000.
Shellered Homeless. At present Iowa City h'as three active emergency shelters for homeless
persons and victims of domestic violence.
1. Emergency Housing Project (EHP)
2. Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP)
3. Youth Emergency Shelter (YES)
These three shellers were at capacity or overflowing throughout the past year (July 1992 to June
1993). The IImlls of these shellers' capacities were tested on many nights, housing two to three
times the number 01 persons the shelters are designed to house. At the Emergency Housing
Project there are 30 beds, 13 at Youth Homes, and 20 at the Domestic Violence Intervention
Program facll/ty.
Statistics gathered from Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESGP) final reports from these three
shellers shows that they housed 1,754 persons trom July 1, 1991 to June 30,1992. These same
reports from 1993 show that the shelters housed 1,500 persons from July 1, 1992 to June 30,
1993. This Is a decrease over last year, probably due to a change In, State pOlicy necessitating
the temporary closure ot one shelter by Youth Homes and structural rehabilitation activities at the
Emergency Housing Projecl
Iowa City did not conduct an official Independent homeless count, however, we can confidently
count the number at undupllcated homeless persons trom agency records by following this simple
methodology: 1) Count only single adult men trom EHP; 2) Count only women and accompanied
minor children at DVIP; and 3) Count only unaccompanied minors at YES. With these
undupllcated counts from the agencies' records Wlj can confidently obtain a reasonable,
undupllcBted number of homeless persons who were lioused In Iowa City's shelters. Table 1.14
shows the results of this accurate, but unofllclal, count of the sheltered homeless. It should be
noted that this method ot counting results In an underc:lunt of the sheltered homeless.

Unsheltered Homeless. Although we have been able to count sheltered homeless persons,
there Is a segment ot the homeless populallon that Is nearly Impossible to count __ the
unsheltered homeless. At any time In Iowa City there are a number of homeless persons living
on the street or In places not meant tor human habitallon. During the summer months there are
a large number ot transients passing through Iowa City because of Interstate 80. Additionally,
migrant workers trequently pass through or stop In Iowa City on their way to other parts ot the
country, and many at these persons are sleeping In their vehicles. The combinallon of these
factors makes counting the unsheltered homeless population a difficult task.
Because this unsheltered population Is very difficult to count the City asked the Police Department
to do an unofficial street count. The Police Departmenfs count was conducted while they were
on norrnallate night patrol. They were not asked to seek out this population, but to simply report
the number of (presumed) homeless persons they saw on the City streets. During the late
evening hours on August 13 and August 19, 1993, the Iowa City Police reported seeing live
unsheltered homeless males (four White and one Black) each evening.
The S-nlght count by the U.S. Census Bureau, conducted on March 21, 1993, showed seven
visible unsheltered homeless persons on the streets. This census count Is consistent with the
unofficial Iowa City Pollee Department count.

One thing Is certain, the number of unsheltered homeless persons In Iowa City Is very difficult to
ascertain. Another significant factor that should also be addressed Is the high number of persons
who are attending the free meal programs, currently provided by the Wesley House and EHP six
days per week. As an example, Wesley House's free lunch program serves an average ot 80
meals per day, which Is 24,960 meals annually, and EHP typically served 70 meals per evening
at Its,shelter, more than 21,840 meals each year. The evening meal Is now being served by the
Salvation Army Corps. This may provide a more accurate picture of the unsheltered homeless
population. However, many people eating at these facilities do have shelter. Conducting an
official count Is beyond the resources of the emergency shelters and the City at this time.
Homelessness In Iowa City has not traditionally been an overwhelming problem for this
community, however, as this document has shown It Is an Increasing problem that must be
continually addressed. The City of Iowa City, Johnson County, the State of Iowa, and many
private organizations and Individuals contribute to the operation of the emergency shelters. A
commitment of continued support Is necessary to maintain the existing shelters. Through
numerous government programs and private contributions many Improvements have been
possible. However, due to an Increasing need these shelters must expand. At present the DVIP
shelter Is In the process of constructing a larger facility, and YES Is looking Into acquiring a larger
facility for Its use. In addition, the Salvation Army Is taking over the evening soup kltchen at Its
facility, which Is better equipped to handle the demand than EHP's small home but Is not as
conveniently located. Hopefully these Improvements In Iowa City's emergency shelters will enable
them to better address the needs ot their clients.
Needs of the Sheltered and Unsheltered Homeless. The needs of the sheltered and
unsheltered homeless begin with the baslo necessities of food and shelter. In addition, other
selVlces are necessary for a number of homeless persons In Iowa City, which Include but are not
limited to the following: chlldcare, medical services, psychological treatment, substance abuse
counseling, Job traIning, education, transportation, rent assistance, and financial resources.
There are govemment and local programs that are set up to provide tor some of these needs, but
not all of the service agencies have the capacity or financial resources to assist everyone In need,
In order tor homeless persons to use the services avaltable to them, two primary needs must be
provided--food and shelter. The emergency shelters and free meal programs are trying to meel
these needs for the homeless p~pulatlon; however, a more stable or long-term housing
environment Is needed.
At present the City Is working on a study to determine the need and feasibility ot a transitional
housing taclllty. Many human service agencies teel that Iowa City has a need for Single Room
Occupancy (SRO) units, which may be used to provide housing for single persons or transients.
If one or more SRO buildings are a feasible option, It may ease the pressure on the emergency
shelters and provide for lranslUonal and, In some cases, permanent housing. To provide this
housing for the homeless population the costs for development and operation must be subsidized
and the tenants probably need to be provided rental assistance. The HUD Shelter Plus Care and
Supportive Housing programs may be able to provide assistance In this area.
One trend In the homeless population Is that there are more single parents with children arriving
at emergency shelters. Due to the limited capacities of the shelters and types ot persons served,
the arrival of a large number of children presents another series of problems. Chlldcare Is
becoming one of the fastest growing needs of the homeless. In order for the parents to work,
attend class. counseling or Job training, or to look tor a lob they need to have chlldcare available.
In addition, HUD Table 1 D shows that many of the sheltered and unsheltered homeless are In

need of counseling or services, While services In these areas exist, limits on capacity and
financial resources reduce the number ot persons who can be served.
Job skills and education are other needs of the homeless. Many of these Individuals lack not only
food and shelter, but sufficient education and Job skills that would allow them to become
employed, Iowa City Is fortunate to have numerous educational tacllltles providing for all levels
at job training.
Another subjec1 that has been addressed by Iowa City Is the prevention of home/essness. Many
persons In Ute emergency or homeless shelters are there because they have recently been
evicted or cannot locate a rental unit. Iowa City has used Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) resources to fund LIFE Skills, Inc. LIFE Skills has a hOUSing coordinator who works with
persons receiving rental assistance who are having problems locating suitable housing In the City.
The LIFE Skills program also helps them wlUt budgeting, housekeeping, and social skills that will
enable them to stay In a unit.
As outlined above, there are numerous needs of the homeless population. There Is no one
solution to the problem of homelessness. A combination ot housing opportunities and services
will reduce the homeless populallon. Iowa City will continue to address the problem of
homelessness and provide support tor the existing emergency shelters and human service
agencies.
l.b.2.1I. Subpopulatlons
Homeless Subpopulatlons. HUD Table 1 D Identifies six subpopulallons ot homeless persons
with service needs. Individuals In this group are In need of addlllonal assistance, other than those
listed In the section above, tor their dally living. Three groups In particular have been Increasing
In the last tew years; persons with severe mental Illness (SMI), persons with HIV/AIDS, and
persons abusing drugs or alcohol. Persons who have SMI have typically been released from a
State or private mental hospital and are now on their own with few It any supportive services.
The spread of HIWAIDS In Iowa City has been relatively low, with 41 reported cases, according
to the Johnson County Department of Public Health. This problem, although seemingly small,
may cause severe housing and medical problems, especially among the homeless. Last, the
Incidence of drug and alcohol abuse among persons at the emergency shellers has been
Increasing, which causes problems for the shelter providers and other homeless residents.
The percentages of homeless persons fitting Into these subpopulatlons are Identified In HUD
Table 1 D. These figures/estimates are based on expert opinion and agency records, Again,
arriving at a tigure for the unsheltered homeless Is difficult at best. National stat/sllcs are the only
available resource In the study of unsheltered homeless,wlth special needs.
l.b.2.III. Needs of Persons Threatened wllh Homelessness
Persons threatened with homelessness, as Identllled In the CHAS, are mainly tam Illes and
Individuals who are earning less than 50 percent of the median Income and low. to moderate-
Income persons paying more than 30 percent of their Incomes for hOUSing. The overwhelming
need for persons In this group Is access to affordable housing.
Providing affordable housing for persons threatened with homelessness may be accomplished
t/hrough methods such as new construction, rental assistance, or public housing. Iowa City has
been working on attordable housing Issues for several years. The City has maintained a very

active rehabilitation program, assisted wllh new construction, acquired land for affordable housing,
and moved houses scheduled for demolition. At present the provision of aftordable housing Is
a primary objective of the City's Community Development Division.
Another need for persons threatened wllh homelessness Is the ability to keep their existing
housing. Many Individuals and tamllles are faced with eviction each month, due to disputes with
landlords and neighbors. As mentioned above, the City has used CDBG resources to fund a half-
time housing coordinator at LIFE Skills. The LIFE Skills housing program Is designed to assist
Individuals with housekeeping, budgeUng and other skills betore they are faced with evlcUon.
LIFE Skills has put together a ten-week training and educational course for hard-to-house
Individuals and families. In Its first year, 1992 to 1993, It assisted 31 households to locate
housing and/or participate In Ils housing program. LIFE Skills Is working toward developing a
relaUonshlp with the area landlords so that when problems begin, landlords have someone to
contact who will assist the tenant betore eviction becomes necessary. However, the problems
of the hard-to-house population are not easily resolved, and Increasing federal and local
assistance Is required to assist these households,
l.b.3. Populations with Special Needs Other than Homeless '
Iowa City's excellent services, medical facilities, and the University ot Iowa results In persons with
special needs moving to the community. Because of these factors the need for housing and
supportive services In this area Is always Increasing. As more capacity Is developed or services
offered there Is an Increasing population to be served.
The need for supportive housing Is divided Into six subpopulatlons of persons for the purpose ot
this CHAS. These categories are shown below on HUD Table 1 E. Gathering local data for the
,completion ot this table was difficult, since little comprehensive data Is available locally. The
majority of the figures on this table were generated using national statistics and norms, however,
local data was used when It was available. The numbers that were calculated using national
statistics, In our opinion, may be low tor Iowa City given the factors described In the preceding
paragraph.

II. FIVE.YEAR STRATEGY
11.8. Summary
Iowa City's affordable housing priorities continue to be to expand the stock of affordable
housing, maintain existing affordable housing units, and to assist people In staying In
housing. A fourth priority will be planning and research acllvltles that will be focused on the
numerous barriers to affordable housing In the communIty and how to help the 'hard.to.house'
section ot the populallon. As In previous years, the primary polley directive of this CHAS will be
to serve those most In need.
Maintenance of the affordable housing stock Is Important In any community, but It Is,especlally
crucial In Iowa City. Although Iowa City has relatively few substandard, vacant, or dilapidated
housing units, rehabllllatlon of housing Is crucial to maintain the units that do exist In the City,
Because of the extremely tight housing market In Iowa City, new construction ot affordable rental
and owner-occupied units Is another priority. This tight supply cannot meet the demands of a
range of people, and has many repercussions In the community. Third, asslsllng those
organizations that help keep people In housing with support services will continue to be a priority
since tor many special needs populations, just finding housing Is not enough. Finally, more work
needs to be done In researching new ways In which to overcome the barriers to expanding the
supply of decent, affordable housing units In Iowa City.
lI.b. Priority Analysis and Strategy Development
Expansion of the affordable houslna stock
I. Analysis
Expansion of the affordable housing stock Is a top priority. The affordable housing market In Iowa
City is so tight, the laws of supply and demand work against all efforts to combat other housing
problems, such as discrimination against tam Illes and tenants with poor rental histories, and a
shortage of nursing home space for the trail elderly, which could be alleviated with the creation
of more housing space. At present, landlords, nursing homes, and other housing providers can
afford to be very selecllve. Those who are most In need, the homeless and those needing
supportive services, for example, are most likely to filce discrimination, eviction, or simply be
unable to find a suitable, affordable small unit. Econo.nlc development Issues arise, too; major
Iowa City employers have Indicated a problem attracllng workers because prospectl\e employees
cannot find suitable housing In the City.
There are several tactors that discourage affordable housing development In Iowa City. One
problem that Is not unique to Iowa City, Is that financial resources are few and what doe,S exist
Is either decreasing In amount, not growing with the need, or difficult to access. Iowa City has
another problem In thai very little developable and affordable land at a suitable density for
affordable rental housing exists In the City. The land that does exist Is owned by just a few
people. These barriers are addressed under 'Feasibility studies and planning.'
To help correct the problem, the City will continue to work with providers ot new and affordable
housing, such as nonprofit and for-profit developers, as well as the local lenders and others who
have expressed Interest In this area. A subsidy will be needed for any new construction, so It will
be necessary to pursue as many options as possible to ensure cost-effective new development.
The proposed large decrease In Fair Market Rents for Iowa City makes the financial teaslblllty

for new construction even more tenuous. The options discussed below In the priority 'Feasibility
studies and planning' will also be Important to explore If the City Is to expand the affordable
housing stock when 1It1le available land and shrinking financial resources exist.
Creating rental housing for very low- and low-Income persons and homeless persons will be given
a higher priority than creating affordable owner-occupied homes. The exception to this will be
very low-Income households living In substandard housing, such as substandard manufactured
housing. The priority will be those Individuals and families who are either living In su~standard
housing, overcrowded conditions, or who are payIng more than 30 percent of their gross Income
tor housing. (See HUD Table 1C, page 21A.) It should be noted that supportive housing, tor
persons who are mentally III, for example, would fall under this priority, It new construction were
to take place to house this population. Also, the purchase of additional public housing units will
Increase the number of rental housing units affordable to low-Income households, as will
additional Section 8 vouchers. (Priorities for Assistance, HUD Table 2, can be found on p. 44A.)
lI.b.lI. Investment Plan
See Table 11-1, page 41, Five-Year Investment Plan to Meet Priorities.
Rehabilitation of the exlstlna affordable houslna stock
I. Analysis
Given the tight housing situation In Iowa City, the maintenance of our existing affordable housing
stock Is as Important as new construction. There Is not a need for rehabllllatlon of vacant or
abandoned structures, but for moderate and comprehensive rehab of housing unlls that have
been allowed to deteriorate to some degree. Iowa City has very little substandard housing, and
almost every unit In the city Is rehabable. However, It rehab efforts are not kept up, that situation
could quickly change, leading the affordable housing stock to shrink even further.
Assistance for very low- and low-Income existing homeowners receives a high priority (See HUD
Table 2). The City's Housing Rehabilitation Program continues to be very busy, but Is making
time to explore ways to reach those homeowners occupying the structures most In need of
rehabllllatlon. For example, recently awarded HOME Program funds will be used for a new
program to assist homeowners with little or no equity In their homes. Ills the case that families
with Incomes under 80 percent ot the area median Income can often only afford houses that are
In need of major rehab, but cannot qualify for loans, even through the City's programs, because
they have no equity. Many of these homeowners are elderly living on fixed Incomes which do
not permit them to make major repairs to their homes. The City's Community Development
Division Is also working wllh lenders and realtors on a homebuyer education program. This Is
aimed both at teaching people about the process of buying a house and about maintaining a
home. Efforts such as these will be supported and continued.
Rehabilitation of the rental housing stock Is also Important. The older sections ot the city consist
primarily of rental units Inhabited by students atlendlng the University of Iowa. Many landlords
do not live In these structures, which are not maintained as they Ideally should be. The City's two
programs for rental rehabilitation will be discontinued after June 30, 1994. For the Iowa
Department of Economic Development Rental Rehab Program, the funds will no longer be
available. For the Iowa Finance Authority Rental Rehab Program, the City may choose to reapply
for funds. However, the City's current contract had to be extended for one year because It was

unable to attract landlord partlclpallon and use available funds. This may be due to the low
Interest rates now obtainable via private bank loans, as well as the City's effective Housing Code
Entorcement program, which ensures the Inspection at most rental units every two years. It has
also been difficult to find applicants that met all the eligibility guidelines. It the need arises In the
future, another opllon may be to use COSG funds tor rental rehab. Finally, HOME tunds could
be used for site-specific projects.
One nonprofit organization Is In the process of acquiring and rehabllltallrg eight units of rental
housing In order to keep them affordable to low-Income households In perpetuity. A tor-profit
developer Is working to acquire and rehab (convert) an historic property Into small apartments tor
persons who are disabled or elderiy. ThIs property Is located downtown for easy access to
services and transportatlon.
Rehabllltallon of emergency shelters and various group homes and residential tacllllles Is also a
priority. It should be noted that supportive housing, tor persons who are mentally III, for example,
would fall under this priority, If rehabllltallon ot such a taclllty were to take place to house this
populallon.
II. Investment Plan
See Table 11-1, page 41 , Five-Year Investment Plan to Meet Priorilles.
f. AnalysIs
Although expanding the stock ot affordable housing Is needed In an extremely tight real estate
market, there are individuals and tamllles that would conllnue to be without housing even If
hundreds of new units were to appear overnight. These people need some type of support
service to help them -stay In housing and/or they may need assistance In finding housing.
Needed services range tram basic household skills training, to rental assistance, to those tor
persons with severe mental Illness. The many socIal service agencies In Iowa City do a
tremendous lob with fewer resources every year, and their vital contribution to the provision of
housing for all people cannot be overestfmated. This priOrity Is targeted especially to very low-
Income renters and exlstlng homeowners who are elderly or handicapped.
In addltlon to asslsllng agencies providing support services, efforts to coordinate services tor
people with mulllple problems should also be supported. Just a tew of the current efforts Include
the Family Selt.Sufflclency Committee and the Local Homeless Coordinating Board. Some ot the
goals of these groups are to overcome barriers to finding and staying In housing, working with
families to build basic life skills, and to coordInate services for clients.
Another way to help people to find and stay In housing Is through rental assistance. The City will
contlnue Its efforts at expanding the stock ot public housing (It Is In the process of beginning a
Family Selt-Sufflclency Program In order to be able to do this), and will continue to apply for
Section 8 vouchers and certlflcates. The Public Housing Authority along with some nonprof/ts will
conllnue to work with landlords to educate them and to lend them support with problem tenants.
One nonprofit educates hard-to-house renters In how to find housing. Another nonprofit has In
the past year begun a loan program for rental deposits, and at present has a very good record
of repayments.

II. Investment Plan
See Table 11-1, Five-Year Investment Plan to Meet Priorltles. this page.
Feaslbllltv studies and IllannlnCl
I. Analysis
The greatest emphasis needs to be placed on the tact that expansion of the affordable housIng
stock and the provision of support services to help keep people In housing will not be greatly
Improved If we do not address certain problems and barriers. Theretore, the planning and
research done by the Community Development Division and others must tocus on the barriers
to affordable housing for all Iowa City residents. These barriers range from a lack of financial and
land resources to community attitudes. There may be no way to remove some of these barriers.
Options that staff will focus on will Include land acqulslUon, planned development, the feasibility
of modifications 10 development standards and zoning, additional zoning for manufactured
housing, the feasibility of SROs and other options for addressing the most difficult to house
populations, and enhancing the public/private partnerships that have begun Intormally, through
several projects, with the local financial Institutions.

lI.c. Relevant Public PolicIes
lI.c.l. Relevant Public Policies
Once the City's priorities and strategies for Investment are determined, the City must look closely
at the coordination of policies, goals, administration, and Implementation. This section and the
next, 'Institutional Structure and Intergovemmental Cooperation" will look at these Issues.
Iowa City has Its own unique set ot barriers to affordable housing, many of which can be
addressed, at least partially, through local public policies. These policies are discussed under
the tollowlng categories: 1) Availability of Resources; 2) Development Standards; 3) Zoning; 4)
Building Codes; and 5) Community Attitudes. The City Intends to deal In some way, In the next
five years, with all of the polley options discussed.
AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES
this Is generaYy the most fundamental problem, with a lack of financial resources and available
land at Issue. The Increase In homelessness and serious affordable housing Issues has caused
the creation and limited funding ot state and federal housing programs. Iowa City will continue
to try to capture as many ot these funds as possible, but more private and City funds are needed.
In Iowa City the availability of developable residential land (particularly for multl-tamlly structures)
that Is relatively close to Jobs, schools and shopping Is nearly nonexistent. In addition, developers
who are constructlng housing on the available land are targeting the middle- to upper-Income
owner-occupied housing market, and the student rental market. To turther aggravate the
problem, the land that Is available Is owned by a relallvely small number of landowners, many of
whom are not Inclined to develop their land. This tends to drive up the cost of land offered tor
development.
Polley Options
1. Acquisition of Available Vacant Parcels
Unlike many communities, the City does not own any vacant land available tor hOUSing
development. In 1992, the City Council adopted a polley for property acquisition through an
ongoing lot acquisition program; however, these funds ($75,000) will not allow tor the purchase
of more than five to seven Intllllots. The City has not yet been successful In acquiring any such
lots. The Council also approved $30,000 ot CDBG funds for this actlvlty In the City's 1994 fiscal
year (the 1993 CDBG program year). Even combining these City funds, the resulUng $105,000
will not buy enough land, and additional financial resources are necessary to complement City
and CDBG a1locallons.
--
Possible sources of funding In addlllon to tederal resources are the general revenue fund, general
obllgatlon bonds, revenue bonds, tax abatement, or tax Increment financing. Although the City
Council has recently approved the use of both tax Increment financing and tax abatement, the
use of bonds or general revenue funds seems less likely due to a State-Imposed property tax
freeze for the next two years.

2. Annexation
This has been an option that has been considered very recently. Annexation Is relatively easy;
however, It Involves extension ot Infrastructure and services, end in many cases, environmental
tactors such as wetlands and steep slopes create additional development expenses. Annexation
for affordable housing may be politically Inteaslble due to the additional costs ot development,
such as Infrastructure, which must be subsidized by the City or passed on to the consumer In the
torm of higher home prices.
3. Community Land Trust (CLl)
CL Ts are becoming popular throughout the country and may be organized by the City or other
actors such as a public or private nonprofit organization. The difficulty with CL Ts are that they
require relatively large amounts of Initial capital funding to secure the necessary properties and
maintain available resources tor staffing. CL Ts generally are 99.year leases; a long.term
commltmenlls necessary to ensure the proper sale and resale of proportles. This may be an
option to explore turther.

Polley Options n :-

1. Allowing Development on Non-Conforming Lots
This option would allow for residential development at affordable housing on existing non-
contormlng lots, especially where two or more of these lots are adJoining. An ordinance
amendment regarding this Issue was approved by the City Council In May 1993, for these
situations to be examined on a case.by.case basis. Additional regUlatory barriers will be
addressed as they are Identified.
2. Changing Development Standards for Affordablo Housing
Development standards tor new construction are often expensive, thus prohibiting the construction
of affordable housing. An altematlve to this may be Incentives tor greater use of Planned
Development Housing (PDH), which might allow for narrower stIeets, elimination of curb and
gulter, or sidewalks 011 one side of the street only, and cluster housing. These modifications In
development standards could be Incorporated Into a neighborhood cost effectively while
maintaining high levels ot public satety. The use at the PDH (similar to the Planned Unit
Development) for affordable housing Is currentiy being examined for a particular location In Iowa
City.
ZONING
Municipal zoning laws and comprehensive land use planning are aimed at directing growth. To
assist In the development ot affordable housing, the tollowlng three zoning changes may be
considered.

Policy Options
1. More High Density Zones
There Is very little developable land which Is zoned for high density residential development. High
density zones allow land costs to be oflset by a greater number ot unlls, making them more
affordable. Attractive single and mulll-famlly development, Including manufactured housing, Is
possible at densities from eight to 20 unlls per acre. Another option Is to have developments with
a mixture of housing types.
Community attitudes In Iowa City will have to be overcome In pursuing this option; many citizens
react negatively not Just to housing tor low-Income people, but to higher density development In
general (and not only because the two are sometimes associated). Other Issues recently on the
City Council agenda, such as street wldenlngs, and school bond elections to construct a much-
needed elementary school (many are severely overcrowded) will make Increasing densities In
some areas even more politically unpalatable.
2. Incluslonary Zoning
Incluslonary zoning Is a relatively new concept to the Midwest, where most communities have
housing within the reach of most residents. It requires developers to construct a number of
affordable units proportional to the size of the development. The decision to pursue this polley
would require a study of when and where such a requirement might be appropriate. Considering
the large growth In residential development occurring at the high end ot the scale, It would most
likely stili be possible for market-rate developers to continue to build and to make a reasonable
profit, even wllh an Incluslonary zoning policy.
3. Incentive Zoning
With Incentive zoning, a developer would be granted density bonuses tor providing public
amenllles such as affordable housing, walkways, or chlldcare. Iowa City Is experimenting wllh
this type of zoning with Its PAM and CB-5 zones!2. This Is only a limited use of Incentive
zoning, however; a more extensive experiment of this In the housing area may be Justified. This
option would be one way to Increase the density of certain development wllhout Increasing the
overall allowable density In an area.
BUILDING CODES
BUilding code regulations directly Influence all commercial and residential construction, The main
purpose tor building code regulations Is to protect the public health, satety, and weltare. Changes
In these codes must be met wllh Intense scrutiny because public safety Is the basic responsibility
of a govemlng body. The City's standards are and will continue to be updated every three years
to take advantage of the latest technology In building materials and construction techniques. The
City will need to balance housing affordablllty and the heallh and safety of all Its citizens. The
II The Planned High Dens~y MuUI-Famlly Residential Zone (PAM), In the Near South Side, allows a
density 01 50 dwelling unUs per acre, but contains a provision allowing higher dens~les for one,bedroom
un~s (approximately 62 unlls per acre) and efficiencies (approximately 87 unlls per acre), In the C8-5
zone, also In the Near South Side, resldenllal units that are part of a Cily-approved affordable housing
program are exempt from the minimum parking requirements, provided that those units do not exceed 30
percent 01 the building's total unlls,

City already has some flexibility built Into Its building code regulations, such as regulations
regarding the use of less expensive building materials. The following Issues can be addressed:
. codes and building regulations
. enforcement bodies
. codes that might be Insensitive to older housing stock
· possibly antiquated requirements
. environmental and state regulations
. rehabilitation guidelines
Policy Options
1. Modify Codes Related to Building and Development
Overly restrictive building codes can hinder efforts to provide affordable housing. Such Is the
case In Iowa City when a house Is moved. Existing codes require moved houses to meet new
construction codes, which In some Instances Is not feasible, and In other cases results In such
extensive rehabilitation that the house becomes unaffordable. Health and safety concerns must
be carefully weighed against the dire need for affordable housing. Additional flexibility In Iowa
City's building code regulaUons may be needed to allow for a balance between satety and
affordablllty. Also, the City will work with the Board of Appeals to Increase awareness In the
building community of the need for aflordable housing and the flexibility In th~ current building
,code that may not be common knowledge.
COMMUNITY ATTITUDES
A more subtle barrier to affordable housing Is the attitude of the community. Rules and
regulaUons concerning housing and discrimination can be passed by govemlng bodies, but a
persistent, untavorable stigma Is attached to public and low-cost housing projects and the people
who live In them. If higher densities are used to foster affordable housing development, the
greatest concern of existing residents will be that property values will be lowered. Concern about
property values Is also raised with the development of certain housing types: housing for persons
with severe mental Illness, single-room occupancy units, and low-Income rental complexes.
In addlUon, community attitudes affect the decisions of the City Council and Influence the strength
of commitment to resolving affordable housing problems. If community attitudes are going to
change, the City Council must encourage broad measures tor educating the community, and be
prepared to experiment with unpopular solutions.
.,'
Policy Options
1. Continued Commitment from City for Affordable Housing Opportunities
Reaffirming Iowa City's commllment to Increasing affordable housing opportunities may be the
simplest method of addressing negative attitudes. Some residents may be willing to have more
of an open mind about housing for low-Income people If the City Council demonstrates that
affordable housing Is a top prtority. The commitment of the private sector Is also Important. The
City will continue to work with local financial Institutions and private nonprofit and for-profit
developers In creating affordable housing opportunllles. These Joint ventures have Increased In
the last year or two, and will continue to be the most Important way In which the low-cost housing
stock Is expanded.

2. Dispersion of Low-Cost Housing throughout Clly
Some ot the policies discussed above will be helpful In changing the negative perception of
affordable housing as this type of housing Is blended with other single-family and mulll.tamlly
units throughout the city. As much as possible, new development of affordable housing will be
dispersed throughout different sections ot the City.
3. Fair Housing Polley
The City will continue Its efforts to address discrimination that people confront In seeking housing
In Iowa City. In the State ot Iowa, access to housing, and equal housing services, may not be
denied because of race, color, creed, sex, religion, national origin, physical/mental disablll-
tylhandlcap, or familial status/presence at children. The City of Iowa City has added to this: age,
marital status, sexual orientation, and public assistance,
The Iowa City Human Rights Commission and the TenanVLandlord Association both report that
a number of housing discrimination complaints deal with family size. For a large, lower.rent
apartment, landlords would often times preter to rent to a group of students than a large family
on rental assistance. There Is also the perception that Section 8 assistance comes with a great
deal of paperwork or added Inspections. The Human Rights Commission tollowed through on five
official complaints last year, but they received numerous calls on this and other fair housing
Issues,
One Issue that the Human Rights Coordinator hears complaints about Is racism encountered
when trying to rent an apartment In Iowa City. According to the Human Rights Commission, there
have been only one or two complaints In the last tour years about discrimination based on
disabilities. It Is not the case that some areas of the City are Ignored by local lending Inslltutlons.
It Is not known whether members ot the real estate community 'steer' renters or purchasers to
certain areas. Since Iowa City has neither areas of bitght nor high concentrations of minority
groups, It Is likely that little steering would occur. This Is extremely difficult to document In any
case.
As mentioned betore, the tight market In Iowa City, especially for lower-cost rental units,
encourages discrimination by making It possible tor landlords to be highly selective. The high
demand tor few units means landlords will tollow the path of least resistance __ that Is, choose
tenants that will not require additional paperwork, will pay rent on time, will not upset the other
neighbors, etc. Populations that require some flexibility or understanding will lose out. The
number one way to address this problem Is through the expansion ot the affordable housing
stock.
The City has attempted to deal with these talr housing Issues, some that are unique to Iowa City
(relative to the rest of the state), by legislating against certain types ot discrimination that are
perceived to be widespread (such as discrimination based on public assistance, e.g, AFDC
assistance). The City, through the Human Rights Coordinator, will continue to monitor and
Investigate all housing discrimination complaints, review housing advertisements, distribute
Intormatlon to local realtors, landlords, tenants, and housing developers, and provide Input Into
City actions that may have an Impact on speclllc populations. Housing discrimination problems
' are best attacked through education, changes in local policy, and follow-through on complaints.
The City will continue to do all three, as It has In the past.

lI.d. Institutional Structure and Intergovernmental Cooperation
The Inslilulions described below are only those Involved In a direct way with the provision of
housing In Iowa City, either through programs, projects, or financing. There are dozens of enlitles
that are Involved In providing services that Indirectly (but no less Importantly) keep people from
losing housing or allow them the opportunity to look tor housing In the first place. Many ot these
services are catalogued In Part l.a.2.1II.
The largest provider of affordable housing In Iowa City Is the Iowa City Housing Authority.
Through public housing units and Section 8 assistance, over 800 persons are currenUy assisted
with rental housing (see Part l.a.2.II). The City's Department of Planning and Community
Development Is a major actor, too, with Its Housing Rehabilitation Program, planning and research
acUvlUes, technical assistance for housing providers, some housing development, and the
admlnlstraUon of Community Development Block Grant funds, many ot which go to housing-
related projects.
The Greater Iowa City Housing Feliowshlp (GICHF) Is currently the only nonprofit organization
devoted solely to housing low-Income persons, and It has so far concentrated on very low-Income
renters. This relatively young organization has grealiy Increased Its capacity In the last year,
hiring a full-time housing specialist and receiving $650,000 In HOME Program funds In FFY93.
Now the GICHF Is proposing to work on a joint venture with Robert Burns and Associates, a
private developer that has recently completed a 48-unlt complex of affordable rental units. The
City will be Involved In this new project, as It has with these two developers' previous projects.
This new three-way partnership, however, Is a very exciting new opportunity for affordable
housing In Iowa City.
The local lending InsUtutions have played an Increasingly Important role ot late In the development
of affordable housing. A consortium ot lenders assisted the GICHF In a project last year and
again this year agreed to assist with Its current project (which will use $326,000 In HOME funds
and $75,000 In CDBG funds). A group of lenders, along with the City and the Board of Realtors,
presented a tree Homebuyer Education Seminar In July 1993, which will be continued due to Its
Initial Interest and success.
The Importance of the emergency shelters In Iowa City goes without saying. These tacllltles
provide a much-needed service and do so with resources that are always shrinking. (This year
Iowa City shelters received a total ot $18,770 from the Emergency Shelter Grants Program, as
opposed to last year's total at $46,770 -- a 60 percent reducUonl)
Supportive housing providers playa vital role serving special needs populations In Iowa City.
These agencies deal with not only dwindling resources, like the emergency shelters, but
philosophical changes In the way they are mandated 10 serve their populations (such as the
Slate's shill away from group homes for persons with developmental disabilities).
Finally, the community's housing rehabilitation programs are extremely Important In maintaining
the City's affordable housing stock as well as upgrading It, as Is the case with accessibility
Improvements. The City's Housing Rehabilitation Program has a total budget of about $700,000
($250,000 was recently awarded from the HOME Program, and some $350,000 comes from
CDBG funds this year). Elderly Services Agency runs the Small Repair Program, which assists
persons wllh physical handicaps and/or elderly with small repairs to their homes. These repairs
are small enough that they are too expensive to administer through the Clty's Housing Rehab
Program.

tax Increment financing trom the City of Iowa City. The developer has several new projects In the
works, Including one with a housing nonprofit.
Locallendlng Instltutlons. With the City's Involvement, several ot the local lending InsUtutlons have
tormed consortia to help fund several recent projects by the Greater Iowa City Housing
Fellowship, tor affordable rental housing rehabilitation and new construction. They have Indicated
Interest In continuing assistance for rental and owner-occupied housing projects. Several lenders
were also Involved In starting up a homebuyers educational seminar, begun In July 1993.
lI.d.lI. Overcoming Gaps
ASSESSMENT AND ACTIONS
Public Sector. The public sector Includes many very different organizations, but, In general, the
strength of public Institutions Is that they are made up of Individuals with technical expertise.
They develop and administer successful housing programs, have knOWledge of what the housing
needs and programs are, and have experience working In a political setting. Govemments, In
addition, have regulatory power, taxing capabilities, and often have capital assets, such as land.
However, as already mentioned, the biggest gap In adequately sheltering the residents of Iowa
City Is simply the lack ot affordable housing. The number of households with Incomes 95 percent
of the median or below who are paying more than 30 percent tor housing Is 7,158 or 54 percent.
Creative solutions to the lack of land available tor affordable housing development Is needed,
most likely In the form of modification to zoning (see Relevant Public Policies. above). In addition,
the state has Imposed a property tax treeze for the next two years, which will hurt the City's ability
, to carry out certain activities, Including housing activities.
At the federal and state levels, especially, resources In the form of funding and staff are being
cut. Perhaps the greatest weakness ot publiC Institutions Is the Inability of localities to rely on
them In the development of a long-range strategy. The Inflexibility of state and federal regulations
and funding has been Identified by local nonprofit agencies In Iowa City as a deterrent to the
efficient provision ot their services. The largest port/on ot funds tor housing stili come from the
federal government and will probably continue to do so. Although the uncertainty surrounding
some federal programs has eased with the current administration, the push to address the
country's debt, plus a tew natural disasters, could put federal housing programs In Jeopardy.
The State provides less In funding, but could potentially be of great assistance to localities In the
coordination of housing delivery on a regional basis. Regionally, the City has discussed hOUSing
strategies on a regional level with several groups and will continue to do so. These groups
Include: the Institute tor Social and Economic Development; Ecumenical Consultation; East
Central Iowa Council of Governments; Johnson COUllty Council of Govemments; the Local
Homeless Coordinating Board; and the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity.
At the locailevel, the Departments of Planning and Community Development (PCD) and Housing
and Inspection Services (HIS) are responsible for preparing and monitoring the CHAS. PCD is
also the coordinating body to which local flnanclallnstltullons came In 1992 and 1993 In order to
pool funds to assist a private nonprofit agency to rehab and construct aftordable rental units. HIS
admlnlslers the Public Housing Authority; It Is active In Public Housing acquisition, the Family
Selt-Sufl'clency Program, and a Drug Elimination Grant.

Private For.Proflt, Private for-profit Institutions -- lenders, developers, contractors, and local
corporations -- have tremendous resources that could be put toward affordable housing, but they
have certain weaknesses as well. The government's need to provide affordable housing comes
from the private sector's Inability or unwillingness to do so. The provision of affordable housing
Is not the primary mission of these Institutions, so they will not undertake that activity unless It
results In a sufficient profit. They also tend to have limited knowledge about the housing needs
of low-Income families and the special needs of persons with physical and mental problems. A
lack at suitable land on which to build hinders the private sector as well as the public sector.
The private sector's strengths and resources are many and Include financial resources,
undelWritlng capabilities, community recognition, tund raising ability, skilled people, tax credits,
and technical skills In finance and construction. The private sector Is an essential component In
any affordable housing strategy In Iowa City. All sectors at a community need to participate In
the provision of affordable housing for lis clllzens. The resources and expertise ot for-profit
Institutions should be tapped, perhaps In the form of a public/private partnership.
Recently the City and the private sector have Increased efforts at cooperation. In 1992, several
financial Institutions Joined to assist the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) to acquire
and rehab affordable rental units (see part I, "Description', above). In 1993, these Institutions
came together again to help the GICHF acquire eight lots for the construction of eight more rental
units to be available for very low-Income families on Section B rental assistance. Several banks,
In conjunction with the City and the Board of Realtors, have also begun a series of homebuyers '
education seminars. The GICHF and a tor-profit developer are also working on a project tor new
rental construction. Local lenders have shown their Interest In assisting with this project, and the
City will also be Involved In some way. One lender has provided a no-Interest loan to the GICHF
for Its Rental Deposll Loan Program, to be used as a revolving loan pool.
Private Nonprofit. Iowa City's nonprofit agencies have many advantages; they are run by
knowledgeable and committed Individuals. Many agencies have successfully run programs for
housing and supportive services for long periods of time and often have reputations that reach
far beyond the city limits. The nonproflts have experience In fund raising, and In dealing with
persons with special needs - the elderly, persons with disabilities and mental Illness, runaway
youth and single, teen parents, and people who have been abused. The GICHF Is one nonprofit
housing developer that has been steadily gaining a great deal of experience and making a strong
and successful reputation with local lenders. lis staffing capability has been Increased In 1993,
to help administer the $650,000 In HOME funds that II has been awarded.

Nonprofit organizations are struggling and scrambling tor funds more than ever before. Limited
resources mean that there are severe shortages of time, staff, funding, and space. As this
happens, more people who need help go wllhout II, making bad slluatlons even worse. The City
will work with these agencies to assist In the coordination of tundlng source Information, review
ot certain regulations and other actions. For example, a Securlly Bill (SF 398) was recenUy
passed by the Iowa Legislature that allows landlords to collect two-month security deposlls on
rental units In the state and allows Increased Interest on late payments, up to $40 per month.
Other. First, resources should be made available for emergency needs, funds tor problems that
cannot be met any other way. One such resource that exists already Is the Common Fund, an
emergency fund administered by the Ecumenical Consultation that can be used for needs that
can't be met through other sources of tunds. Also, the Greater Iowa Clly Housing Fellowship has
started a loan program tor rental deposits. Approximately $2,000 Is available each month for a
maximum loan ot $400. Thus far, their repayment rate Is very high.

Second, work needs to be done toward better communication with local landlords once Section
8 tenants are In place. There seems to be the perception that many landlords are reluctant to
accept Section 8 vouchers and certificates. The state-mandated Local Homeless Coordinating
Board Is currently looking at barrlors to housing and Is greatly concemed with better coordination
and cooperation with landlords to encourage them to accept Section 8 vouchers and certificates.
However,.there Is 100 percent use ot Section 8 vouchers and certificates with additional landlords
participating In the program every year; the problem appears to relate more to the difficulties of
hard-to-house tenants In finding housing (I.e. It Is their vouchers and certificates that are not
being accepted). There Is a housing gap for these households.
For low- to moderate-Income potential first-time homebuyers, there Is a gap In Intormatlon
regarding 1) what assistance for downpayments (as well as rehab) exists; 2) how to know what
Is affordable to them; and 3) how to purchase and maintain a home. All three of these Issues are
addressed In a new homebuyers education seminar Jointly offered by local lending Institutions,
the Board ot Realtors, and the City. The first seminar In July 1993 was extremely successtul, and
more are planned.
lI.e. Public Housing Improvements
lI.e.l. Management and Operation
The Iowa City Housing Authority Is facing a changing public housing program. HUD Is no longer
developing large complexes and Is stimulating PHAs to sell public housing units, Under the
tenant Initiatives of HUD, homeownershlp will Change the mixture of housing units within the
program. Through the Stlction 5 (h) and HOPE programs the Iowa City Housing Authority Is
working toward transferring some ot the existing property. These Changes will create a
management task tocused on single tamlly and seml-detached housing units. Over the next five
years, the strengths of the tenants and management will be used to Improve the program.
lI.e.lI. Living Environment
The living environment ot the public housing and Section 8 tenants Is higher than one would
expect In the financial climate of Johnson County. Although the County has one of the highest
median Incomes In the State, the scattered site nature of the Iowa City Housing Authority units
provides the tenants and participants the same living environments of the larger population. With
little segregation of public housing units, there are no major activities planned for this segment
of the CHAS.
lI.f. Public Housing Resldenllnltlallves
The Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA) Is committing to ahomeownershlp program that will entail
the transfer of units from public control to private ownership. The program Is driven by
replacement awards provided by HUD. The Initial offering under this program will be replaced
by newly constructed public housing units. There will not be a net decrease In the number of
public housing units available to very low-Income taml/les. The mix of units will gradually change
to scaUered site single or duplex units.
The ICHA's plan will recognize the choice of the tenant to participate In the management ot the
complexes In which they live. For those tenants for whom homeownershlp Is an option, tenant
groups have been started at the two major complexes of the ICHA and plans are laid for tenant
or condominium associations to be torrned at other apartment units operated by the Housing

Authority. As the transfer of property begins, staffing efforts will be refocused on the complexes
and other multi-tamlly units. The first-year objective Is to begin the program with 20 slngle-tamlly
and duplex units; the second year will begin the transter of the multi-tamlly units to the control and
operation of the tenants. The third and subsequent years will continue the transfer ot the old and
!he replacement units In tho program.
For tenants not wishing homeownershlp options, programming will be directed toward creating
tenant suwort groups and family selt-sufflclency programming to support them In their tenancy.
Il.g, Lead.Based PaInt Hazard Reduction
The reduction of lead poisoning In children and abatement ot lead based hazards Is a task with
so many tacets that a community-wide effort must be Instituted. The strategy ot the City Is to
organize a public/private partnership to seek solutions for this problem. The education of City
residents as to the actual problem will need to parallel efforts to organize the community response
so that a responsible plan may be obtained.
Current abatement of lead-based paint hazards on a systematic level has only been achieved
through the Iowa City Housing Authority. The public housing stock of the City of Iowa City Is
certified as being tree of lead-based paint hazards. In recognition, local owners and contractors
have on their own Initiative abated some other properties. The demolition of older houses stili
remains as the operative method of lead-based paint abatement In Iowa City. Housing and
Inspections Services In the Rental Permit Program identifies and cites rental units with chipping,
peeling, crackJng paint and requires abatement of the problem. Prior to Issuance of a rental
permit, Housing and Inspection Services also requires the owner to certify that the property
complies with 24 CFR, Part 35 as It applies to lead-based paint. There are no requirements for
mandatory testing and abatement ot older hOUSing stock.
The tollowlng Is a five-year plan for the reduction of lead-based paint hazards In Iowa City.
YEAR 1. Organize a committee of public and private Interests to address the community's
response to lead-based poisoning hazards. This committee could consist of representa-
tives from the Iowa City Department of Planning and Community Development, Housing
and Inspection Services, the Iowa City Community School District, the Apartment Owners
Association, the Johnson County Department of Heallh, the' Housing Commission, and
one or more citizen representatives.

This committee will torm the foundation at a larger community effort tocused on the results
of the first year. The goals that are Identifiable are organizational In nature. During the
first year attention should be given to tacllltatlng the Identification and organization ot
testing services for both people and property. Concurrently material tor public dissemina-
tion can be studied and approved. Use of schools, cable, television, radio, and wrltlen
material will expose the general publlo as to the risks and the prevention ot lead hazards.
Collect/on of data as to the size ot the problem would lead to an understanding of the
resources that will eventually need to be commltled to this problem.
YEAR 2. The second year would be characterized as the response ot the community to
the problem. Subgroups would need to work on local responses In such areas as lead-
based paint reduction In privately owned homes, In rental property, In manutacturlng,
waste disposal and other Identified areas of lead.based poisoning hazards. A community-
wide effort would be required to assert universal testing ot all children. Coupled wllh this

actlvlty would be an Inventory of possible lead-based hazard properties that are not _
abated, so that the community can assure the prevention of future or prolonged poisoning
of children. ('i .

I
Voluntary compliance with abatement requirements will be assisted by the committee
Identifying or developing tundlng sources. Random testing of, property and community
common spaces such as parks, City properties, and private areas will need to be Identified
to understand the scope of lead poisoning hazards. These activities would complete the
Inventory ot problems the community faces.
YEAR 3. Statutory responses of local jurisdictions would characterize the third year of the
lead-based hazard abatement plan. Responses of the different overiapplng Jurisdictions
can be addressed as the Rehabilitation Program, Public Health Department, and Housing
Authority come under more stringent state and federal requirements and guidelines. The
City Council may wish to entertain local ordinances tor the Identification, testing, and
abatement In housing and structures within Iowa City. City departments and services may
move toward mandated lead hazard abatement In their activities.

YEARS 4 AND 5. Begin to Implement standards and ordinances for all lead hazard
problems Identified by community organizations. Identify targets for the continuing effort
In ameliorating the problems.
lI.h. Monitoring Standards and Procedures
Federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) come through
CDBG, the HOME Investment Partnership Program, and the Emergency Shelter Grant Program.
These three programs are monitored on a regular basis by the Community Development Division
of the City's Department ot Planning and Community Development according to ttle procedural
guidelines outlined by HUD. The Assisted Housing Program, Elimination ot Drugs In Public
Housing Program, and Youth Sports Program are administered and monitored by the Department
of Housing and Inspection Services.
Monitoring of the City's subreclplents of the first three grant programs by the Community Develop-
ment Division also occurs regularly. Subreclplents are required to submit monthly reports on the
number of people and households assisted, and frequent site visits are done by members ot the
Community Development Division. The Division's accounts are audited by the City's auditor on
an annual basis. and HUD field representatives make regular vlslts as well.

lII.a.lI. Geographic Distribution
All of the above objectives for the Federal Fiscal Year 1994, unless otherwise noted, will occur
citywide. Iowa City has no blighted neighborhoods, and land for new ettordable housing
development Is scarce. The City must balance new construction where It Is possible with the
City's policy of dispersing low-cost housing.
lII.a.lII. ServIce Delivery and Management
In Section lII.a.I., each activity In the annual Investment plan describes who will deliver and
manage each Identified program.
lII.a.lv. HUD Table 3A . Investment Plan
See HUD Table 3A, page 62A.
lII.a.v. Table 38 . Goals for Households and Persons to be Assisted with Housing
See HUD Table 3B, page 62C.
III.b. Other Actions
lII.b.l. Public policies
In the Five-Year SlrateQV, the effects of public policies Impacting on the availability of affordable
housing were assessed. The annual plan for ameliorating these negative effects Is described In
this section.
Iowa City has a unique set ot barriers to affordable housing, many of which can be addressed,
at least partially, through local public policies. In FFY94, the City Intends to deal with the specific
policy options discussed here.

Unlike many communllles, the City does not own any vacant land. In 1992. the City Council r
adopted a polley for property acqulslllon through an ongoing lot acquisition program; however, L
these funds ($75,000) will not allow for the purchase of more than five to seven Infllllots. The
Council also approved $30,000 of COBG funds for this activity In the City's 1994 fiscal year (the CoO,
1993 CDBG program year). Although this $105,000 will not buy enough land, and addlllonal
financial resources will be necessary In the future, acquisition of available vacant parcels will be
done In the next year, If appropriate lots become available. n
...
,/
2. Use of revenue bonds for affordable housing projects.
Possible sources of funding In addlllon to federal resources are the general revenue fund, general
obligation bonds, revenue bonds, tax abatement, or tax Increment financing. Although the City
Council has recently approved the use of both tax Increment financing and a tax abatement, the

use of bonds or general revenue funds seems less likely this year, due especially to a property
tax freeze tor the next two years, but they will be kept In mind as a possibility, this year and In
the future.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
OVerly stringent development standards can Increase the land costs ot residential developments.
Because times, technology, and needs change, updates and revisions In development standards
may be appropriate.
Policy Options
1. Allowing Development on Non-Conformlng Lots
This option allows for residential development of affordable housing on existing non-contorrnlng
lots, especially where two or more of these lots are adJoining. An ordinance amendment
regarding this Issue was approved by the City Councllln May 1993, tor these situations to be
examined on a case-by.case basis. Existing situations like this will be examined In FFY94.
2. Changing Development Standards for Affordable Housing
Development standards for new construction are often expensive, thus prohibiting the construction
of affordable housing. An a1tematlve to this may be Incentives for greater use of Planned
Development Housing (PDH), which might allow tor narrower streets, elimination ot cum and
gutter, or sidewalks on one side of the street only, and cluster housing. These modifications In
development standards could be Incorporated Into a neighborhood cost effectively while
maintaining high levels of public satety. The use ot the PDH (similar to the Planned Unit
Development) tor affordable housing Is currently being examined for a particular location In Iowa
City. The Urban Planning Division will be reviewing options to encourage affordable housing as
part of Its FY94 work program.
ZONING
Munlclpal zoning laws and comprehensive land use planning are aimed at directing growth. To
assist In the development of affordable housing, the following three zoning changes may be
considered.
Polley Options
1. More High Density Zones
There Is very lIU1e developable land which Is zoned for high density residential development. High
density zones allow land costs to be offset by a greater number of units, making them more
affordable. Attractive single and multi-family development Is possible at densities trom eight to
20 units per acre. City staff will look Into this option In the coming year, as well as the possibility
of additional land zoned for manutactured housing parks.
2. Incluslonary Zoning
The decision to pursue this policy will require an In-depth study of when, where, and how
Incluslonary zoning might be appropriate In Iowa City. Considering the large growth In residential

development occurring at the high end ot the seale, It would most likely stili be possible for
market-rate developers to continue to build and to make a reasonable profit, even with an
Incluslonary zoning polley.
COMMUNITY ATTITUDES
Community attitudes are a subtle barrier to affordable housing, and must be dealt with at all times
every year -. they cannot be addressed In some years and not others. Rules and regulations
concemlng housing and discrimination can be passed by governing bodies, but a perslslent,
untavorable stigma Is attached to public and low-cost housing projects and the people who live
In them. In addition, community attitudes affect the decisions of the City Council and Influence
the strength ot commitment to resolving affordable housing problems. It community altitudes are
going to change,the City Council must encourage broad measures for educating the community,
and be prepared to experiment with unpopular solutions.
Polley Options
1. Continued Commitment from City for Affordable Housing Opportunities
Reaffirming Iowa City's commitment to Increasing affordable housing opportunities may be the
simplest method of addressing negative attitudes. The City will conllnue to work with local
financial Institutions and private nonprofit and tor-profit developers In creating affordable housing
opportunities. These Joint ventures have Increased In the last year or two, and will continue to
be the most Important way In which the low-cost housing stock Is expanded.
2. Dlsperelon of Low.Cost Housing throughout CIty
Some ot the policies discussed above will be helptulln changing the negative perception of
affordable housing as this type ot housing Is blended with other single-family and multi-family
units throughout the city. As much as possible, new development of affordable housing will be
dispersed throughout different sections ot the City.
3. Fair HousIng Polley
The City will continue Its efforts to address discrimination that people confront In seekJng housing
In Iowa City. In the State of Iowa, access to housing, and equal housing services, may not be
denied because 01 race, color, creed, sex, religion, national origin, physlcaVmenlal dlsabl/l.
tylhandlcap, or familial status/presence of children. The City ot Iowa City has added to this: age,
marital status, sexual orientation, and source of Income.
III.b.lI. Institutional Structure
The Instllutions described In the Flve.Year Strateov are only those Involved In a direct way wilh
the provision of housing In Iowa City, either through programs, projects, or financing. There are
dozens 01 entities that are Involved In providing services that Indirectly (but no less Importantly)
keep people from losing housing or allow them the opportunity to look for housing In the first
place. Many of these services are catalogued In Pari l,a.2.1II,
The largest provider of affordable housing In Iowa City Is the Iowa City HousIng Authority.
Through publlo housing units and Section 8 assistance, 820 persons are currently assisted with
rental housing (see Part l.a.2.1I). The City's Department of Planning and Community Development

Is a major actor, too, with Its Housing Rehabilitation Program, planning and research activities,
technical assistance tor housing providers, some housing development, and the allocation ot
Community Oevelopment Block Grant funds, many ot which go to housing-related projects.
The Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) Is currently the only nonprofit organization
devoted solely to housing low-Income persons, and It has so tar concentrated on very low-Income
renters. This relatively young organizallon has greatly Increased Its capacity In the last year,
hiring a tull-tlme housing specialist and receiving $650,000 In HOME Program funds In FFY93.
Now the GICHF Is proposing to work on a Joint venture with Bob Bums and Associates, a private
developer that has recently completed a 48-unlt complex ot affordable rental units. The City will
be Involved In this new project, as It has with these two developers' previous projects. This new
three-way partnership, however, Is a very exclUng new opportunity for affordable housing In Iowa
City.

The local lending Institutions have played an Increasingly Important role ot late In the development
ot affordable housing. A consortium of lenders assisted the GICHF In a project last year and
again this year agreed to assist with Its current project (Which will use $326,000 In HOME funds
and $75,000 In COBG funds). A group of lenders, along with the City and the Board of Realtors,
presented a tree Homebuyer Education Seminar In July 1993, which will be continued due to Its
Inltlallntsrest and success.
.~
The importance ot the emergency shelters In Iowa City goes without saying. These facilities
provide a much-needed service and do so with resources that are always shrinking. (This year
10IYa City shelters received a total ot $18,770 trom the Emergency Shelter Grants Program, as
opposed to last year's total ot $46,770 - a 60 percent reduction I)
Supportive housing providers playa vital role serving special needs populations in iowa City.
These agencies deal with not only dwindling resources, like the emergency shelters, but
philosophical changes In the way they are mandated to serve their populations (such as the
Slate's shift away from group homes tor persons with developmental disabilities.
Finally, the community's housing rehabilitation programs are extremely Important in maintaining
the City's affordable housing stock as well as upgrading It, as Is the case with accessibility
Improvements. The City's Housing Rehabilitation Program has a total budget of about $700,000
($250,000 was recently awarded from the HOME Program, and some $350,000 comes from
COBG funds this year). Elderly Services Agency runs the Small Repair Program, which assists
persons with physical handicaps and/or are elderly with small repairs to their homes. These
repairs are small enough thattheyare relatively too expensive to administer forthe City's Housing
Rehab Program.
For a description ot public, private, and nonprofit agencies dealing with housing and support
services In the Iowa City area, see Part Il.d.l.
ONE.YEAR ACTIONS
Public Sector. As already mentioned, the biggest gap In adequately sheltering the residents of
Iowa City Is simply the lack ot affordable housing. The number ot households with Incomes 95
percent ot the median or below who are paying more than 30 percent tor housing Is 7,158 or 54
percent. Creative solutions to the lack ot land available tor affordable housing development Is
needed, most likely In the form of modification to zoning (see Public Policies. above). In addlUon,
the State has Imposed a property tax freeze tor the next two years, which will hurt the City's

ability to cany out certain activities, Including housing activities. The City's need to address the
1993 flood In Iowa City will certainly hurt Its ability to Increase tundlng for other activities, very
possibly tor new affordable housing.
The Inflexibility ot state and federal regulations and funding has been Identlfled by local nonproflt
agencies In Iowa City as a deterrent to the efficient provision ot their services. The largest portion
at funds tor housing stili come from the federal government and will probably continue to do so.
Although the uncertainty surrounding some tederal programs has eased with the current
administration, the push to address the country's debt, plus a few natural disasters, could put
federal housIng programs In Jeopardy.
This year the Community Development Division ot the Department at Planning and Community
Development will specifically concentrate on addressing the Issue 01 the 'hard-to-house' segment
ot the population. These are families and Individuals with multiple problems, Including very low-
Incomes most often, who do not receive Section 8 or public housing assistance _ those who
would very likely be without housing even If a unit they could afIord opened up magically tor them.
For single Individuals, the feasibility at building or converting an single-room occupancy building
will be examined. For tamil/es, more programming such as that provided by LIFE SkJlls will be
considered, as well as additional transitional units or other housing with support services attached.
Private For.Proflt. All sectors of a community need to participate In the provision of affordable
housing tor Its citizens. The resources and expertise 01 for-profit Institutions should be tapped,
possibly In the form of a public/private partnership.
Recentiy the City and the private sector have Increased efforts at cooperation. In 1992, several
tlnanclallnstltutlons Joined to assist the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) to acquire
and rehab affordable rental units (see part I, 'Description', above). In 1993, these Institutions
came together again to help the GICHF acquire eight lots for the construction of eight more rental
units to be affordable tor very low-income families on Section 8 rental assistance. Several banks,
In conjunction with the City and the Board of Realtors, have also begun a series of homebuyers
education seminars. The GICHF and a for-profit developer are also workJng on a project for new
rental construction. Local lenders have shown their Interest In assisting with this project, and the
' City will also be Involved In some way.
, Private Nonprofit. The GICHF Is one nonprofit housing developer that has been steadily gaining
a great deal of experience and makJng a strong and successful reputation with local lenders. Its
staffing capability has been Increased In 1993, to help deal with the $650,000 In HOME tunds that
It has been awarded.

Nonprofit organizations are struggling and scrambling for funds more than ever betore. Limited
resources mean that there are severe shortages of time, staff, funding, and space. As this
happens, more people who need help go without It, makJng bad situations even worse. The City
will work with these agencies to assist In the coordination ot funding source Intormatlon, review
of certain regulations and other actions.
The City will conllnue to support and be a part ot the Local Homeless Coordlnallng Board and
the Family Self-Sufficiency Coordinating Committee, both of which address the gaps In the system
and aim to better coordinate housing and support services. It will also continue to support the
Johnson County Council ot Government's Human Services Coordinator and the work done
assisting human service agencies In the area.

Other. Flrs~ resources should be made available for emergency needs, tunds tor problems that
cannot be met any other way. One such resource that exists already Is the Common Fund, an
emergency tund that can be used for needs that can't be met through other sources of funds.
Also, the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship has started a loan program for rental deposits.
Approximately $2,000 Is available each month for a maximum loan of $400. Thus far, their
repayment rate Is very high. Second, work needs to be done toward better communication
between the Housing Authority and other human service agencies, and local landlords. There
seems to be the perception that many landlords are reluctant to accept Section 8 vouchers and
certificates. The state-mandated Local Homeless Coordinating Board Is currently looking at
barriers to housing and Is greatly concemed with better coordination and cooperation wllh
landlords to encourage them to accept Section 8 vouchers and certificates. However, there Is
100 percent use of Section 8 vouchers and certificates with additional landlords participating In
the program every year. The problem appears to relate more to the difficulties hard-to-house
tenants have In finding housing. There Is a housing gap for these households.
For low- to moderate-Income potential first-time homebuyers, there Is a gap In Information
regarding 1) what assistance for downpayments (as well as rehab) exists; 2) how to know what
Is affordable to them; and 3) how to purchase and maintain a home. All three of these Issues are
addressed In a new homebuyers education seminar Jointly offered by local lending Institutions,
the Board of Realtors, and the City. The first seminar In July 1993 was extremely successful, and
more are planned.
lII.b.lII. Public Housing Improvements
The first public housing units built are now reaching twelve years of age. Maintenance costs are
Increasing and the Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA) will be seeking Comprehensive
Improvement Assistance Program (ClAP) funding. this grant from HUD will allow the ICHA to
replace and remodel those Items that are cost-prohibitive on an ordinary maintenance budget.
The adaptation of the older public housing units tor accessibility will occur under ClAP, as will
general Improvements and site Improvements. The ICHA adapts units as requested by
prospective and In-place tenants.
lII.b.lv. Public Housing Resident Initiatives
The one-year plan for the ICHA recognizes the choice of the tenant to partlclpale In the
management of the complexes In which they live. To begin the program, single-family dwellings
will be used 10 assure the tenant that continued occupancy Is not based on homeownershlp. The
first year obJecllve Is to begin the program with 20 units. Transfer of units will precede when
readiness for homeownershlp Is achieved by the tenant.'3
For tenants not wishing homeownershlp options, the annual plan Is directed toward family sell-
sufficiency programming to support them In their tenancy.
13 The ICHA Is contemplating a homeownershlp program that will entail the transfer of units from publlo
control to private ownership. The program Is driven by replacement awards provided by HUD. The In"lal
offering under this program will be replaced by newly constructed public housing un"s, There will not be
a net decrease !n the number of public housing un"s available to very low-Income families, The mix' of
un"s will gradual~ change to scattered sHe single or duplex un"s,

III.b.Y. Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction
The reduction of lead poisoning In children and abatement of laad based hazards Is a task with
so many facets that a community-wide effort must be Instituted. The strategy of the City Is to
organize a public/private partnership to seek solutions for this problem. The education of City
residents as to the actual problem will need to parallel efforts to organize the community response
so that a responsible plan may be obtained.
Current abatement of lead-based paint hazards on a systematic level has only been achieved
through the Iowa City Housing Authority. The public housing stock of the City ot Iowa City Is
certified as being free of lead-based paint hazards. In recognition, local owners and contractors
have on their own Initiative abated some other properties. The demolition ot older houses stili
remains as the operative method of lead-based paint abatement In Iowa City. Housing and
Inspections Services In the Rental Permit Program Identifies and cites rental units with chipping,
peeling, cracking paint and requires abatement ot the problem. Prior to Issuance ot a rental
permit, Housing and Inspection Services also requires the owner to certify that the property
complies with 24 CFR, Part 35 as It applies to lead-based paint. There are no requirements tor
mandatory testing and abatement of older housing stock.
In the first year, a committee would be organized of public and private Interests to address the
community's response to lead.based poisoning hazards. This committee could consist of
representatives from the Iowa City Department of Planning and Community Development,
Housing and Inspection Services, the Iowa City Community School District, the Apartment Owners
Association, the Johnson County Department of Health, the Housing Commission, and one or
more citizen representatives.
This committee will torrn the foundation of a larger community effort focused on the results at the
first year. The goals that are Identifiable are organizational In nature. During the first year
attention should be given to facilitating the Identification and organization of testing services for
both people and property. Concurrently material for public dissemination can be studied and
approved. Use ot schools, cable, television, radio, and written material will expose the general
public as to the risks and the prevention of lead hazards. Collection ot data as to the size at the
problem would lead to an understanding of the resources that will eventually need to be
committed to this problem.

lII.c. Anti-Poverty Stmtegy
Analvsls of Poverty In Iowa City
Poverty status was evaluated tor 51 ,701 people In Iowa Clty'4 Twenty-three percent, or 12,074
persons, were found to be living In poverty. Poverty thresholds In 1989 by size of family unit
were:
Annual Income
One person
Two persons
Three persons
Four persons
, , Five persons
Six persons
Seven persons
Eight persons
Nine or more persons
$6,310
$8,076
$9,885
$12,674
$14,990
$16,921
$19,162
$21,328
$25,480
Households. Poverty data tor three types of households were analyzed: married-couple, temale-
headed, and male.headed family households. Of the married-couple households, seven percent
were living below the poverty level. Of temale-headed households, however, 27 percent were
living In poverty, more than the citywide average. Among male-headed households (no spouse
present), 21 percent were below the poverty level.
Children In Poverty. Table 111-1 shows the distribution of poverty by age group. A full 20 percent
of children undsr the age of five live In poverty In Iowa City. ,This Is not unlike the naUonallGvel
(19.7%); but might come as some surprise to people that believe poverty Is not a big problem In
, Iowa City. " ,
14 The tolal population of Iowa Clly Is 59,738. Poverty status was delermlned for all persons except
Inslllutlonallzed persons, persons In mllllary group quarters and In college dorrnllorles, and unrelaled
Individuals under fifteen years old. In Iowa Clly,lhe majorily of this 8,037 difference Is made up of college
students In dorrnftorles.

By far the largest age cohort living below the poverty level Is the 18 to 24 group, though this
represents undergraduate students atthe University ot Iowa to a very large extent. As Table 11I-1
also shows, a substantial number of f1ve-year-olds and six- to eleven-year-olds also live In poverty
(15.8 percent and 12.31 percent). In fact, overall 14 percent of children under the age of
eighteen, or 1,362 children, were living below the poverty level In 1989, when the Census was
done.
When analyzing children In poverty by household type, there Is a slgnlncant difference In poverty
rates between children In married-couple households and those In female-headed households,
especially among children five years and younger (see Table 11I-2). When looking at children five
years and younger In female-headed households, the percent living In poverty rises to a startling
62 percenU This would seem to Indicate the difficulties ot surviving In today's economy In a
household with only one Income. ' '

Students. The University of Iowa students have a significant Impact on the population of Iowa
City. There was a 1992-1993 enrollment of 27,463 students. Using the University's statlstlcs on
student age and place of residence with the 1990 Census data, It Is estimated that approximately
6,900 students residing In Iowa City are living In poverty; these students account tor almost 57
percent of all persons living In poverty In Iowa City. Although most students are likely to be single
undergraduates, almost 800 of them are 25 years old or older, and may be In need ot housing
assistance and/or supportive services, particularly If they also have tamllles.
Elderly. There were a total of 3,923 persons aged 65 years and older living In Iowa City In 1989.
Of those, 252 or six percent were living below the poverty level. Broken down by household type,
only tour percent of elderiy persons In married-couple households were below the poverty level,
while twelve percent of elderiy persons living alone were below the poverty level. However, while
about tour percent of elderiy aged 60-74 were below the poverty level, for elderly aged 75 and
older this level rises to almost ten percent.
Causes of Poverty-Related Problems. In 1993, Interviews were conducted with representatives
from seventeen local agencies specifically for this portion ot the CHAS. The agencies were
chosen based on the range ot services they provide, the size ot the agency, and tor a mix ot
private and govemmental entities. The agencies that were Interviewed provide a number of
services for people with specie: ~eeds. These services Include:
. housing
. youth services
. medical services
. domestic violence assistance
. legal services
. crisis Intervention
. services tor persons with physical and mental disabilities
. elderly services
. services tor persons with chemical dependency
The agencies work with households living at or near the poverty level on a dally basis. The top
contributing causes cited as being most Influential In the development of poverty-related problems
were: unemployment or underemployment; lack of aftordable, decent housing; negative Images
of people who are program recipients; the lack of available funding: and polley and widespread
community support for poverty Issues (this Includes the lack ot addlllonal tederal and state funding
programming to address \he problem of poverty). Other Important causes of poverty cited were
the lack ot affordable chlldcare, health care, education, disability, age, domestic abuse, and
chemical dependence.
Exlstlno Proorams and Policies
There are many programs that exist to assist people living In poverty. As tor the City's programs
and policies, the City assists human service activities through Its annual budget allocations from
the General Fund and CDBG to the Aid to Agencies Fund. These supportive funds assist local
human service organizations with their operating costs. For \he City's fiscal year 1994, this
amounted to $331,211. The City has also assisted with aftordable rental projects through tax
Increment financing, tax abatement, and tax exemption.
Other funds trom the federal and state governments pass through the City to human service
agencies. Through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Iowa

City Housing Authority assists a great many people each year, all below 50 percent of the median
Income, with subsidized rental housing, either with City-owned public housing units or with Section
8 vouchers and certificates. The scope of Housing Authority services will expand In FFY94 with
the start-up of the Family Selt-Sufflclency Program (see Part l.a.2.1I.). '
Community Development Block Grant funds, also from HUD, go to benefit low- to moderate-
Income persons every year. In 1993, approximately $1 million were allocated to projects such
as homeless shelters, a soup kJtchen, housing support services, research and planning tor
housing for persons with HIVlAIDS, new construction for low-Income rental housing, and a
program tor youth business training. A complete description ot 1993 CDBG projects Is In
Appendix 1, and gives a good Idea of the types of projects undertaken each year with block grant
funds. A considerable amount ot these monies go to people near or below the poverty level.
Communltv Needs
The community needs/gaps that were most apparent from Interview responses are: affordable
housing, chlldcare, tamlly preservation, education~ob training, and community attitudes. These
are the major needs to be met In order to decrease the number ot persons living below the
poverty line. Many agencies serve low-Income populations, but some do not set out to
specifically serve people below the poverty level. 01 the seventeen agencies Interviewed, seven
target low-Income people, and the other ten target a particular clientele, such as persons who are
elderiy, dlsalbled, or substance abusers. However, nine ot the agencies reported that at least 90
percent at their clients were below the poverty level, and several others responded that they
assumed that the clientele they serve Is moslly below the poverty level. Many agencies do not
keep track of Income because It Is not a requirement tor service.
While agencies may be serving poor populations, some very poor persons and families may be
unintentionally overiooked. For example, financially distressed persons or tamllles may fall
through the cracks because ot Ineligibility tor assistance from the Johnson County Department
of Human Services. Not only does this agency require Its clients to meet certain Income level
qualifications, but In order to receive certain kJnds of assistance, they may, for Instance, be
required to be unmarried, female, and a parent. In other words, a single male who Is unemployed
and Ineligible for entitlement programs may not quality to receive any assistance. There Is an
urgent need to Identity those persons that are Slipping through the system and to develop and
provide equal and comprehensive services tor them.
Some agencies reported that they have waiting lists for their services and some have to tum
people away due to lack of available funding and/or staff. They also listed some non-financial
constraints such as burdensome administrative tasks and a lack of willingness on the part 01
those In need to accept services (because they do not wish to be stigmatized).
Goals. Policies. and Proarams
Again, the greatest needs In addressing the problems of those living In poverty appear to be;
. affordable housing
. chlldcare
. family preservation
. educatlon/job training
. community altitudes

Affordable housing. HUD has mandated that the CHAS be coordinated with other programs and ...
services Intended to reduce the number of households with Incomes below the poverty threshold. 1""1'
The majority of agencies Interviewed tor the Anll-Poverty Plan cited the lack of affordable housing
In Iowa City as one of the most significant contributors to the problems taced by their clients. ...
, I
This CHAS describes the City's affordable housing polley to help those with the most need first.
That Includes the homeless, persons with special needs, the very low-Income, and those In ...
danger of becoming homeless (Including existing low-Income homeowners). , '
Chlldcare. The lack ot funding for decent, aftordable chlldcare Is a major problem that prevents ...
many low-Income people from making efforts at becoming selt-sufflclent. Chlldcare Is not " I
affordable for many It they choose to conllnue their educallon, and It simply does not pay tor a
single parent, or even a married parent, to take a Job paying minimum wage when child care Is ...
an Issue. According to the Human Services Coordinator for Johnson County, chlldcare Is a real
gap and a very basic problem tor the very poor. ' , i

...
At the moment, there Is some progress being made In the Iowa City area. Handlcare Is an ; I
Integrated daycare setting and a model nationwide that cares for children with disabilities as well
as those without. In some traditional setllngs, some Inroads are being made tor children who are " ~
poor, disabled, or abused. II can be disastrous for a single parent or for married pare~ts who ... /!
both work, and need to work, when a child becomes sick. Many daycare facilities will not accept ~ .. II
sick children, and many parents cannot take time off work to care tor sick children without k' I: ii

The key to solving this problem Is financial resources. The country as a whole, however, Is not I,
}~I I ri
quite prepared yet to tunnel the needed resources to chlldcare. For so long, child care was taken I
care of by a stay-at-home parent, a grandparent, and the like, and the economy did not 'pay' for "'1
, , \ I
the services provided by these people. Now that many low-Income married-couple households , I
i.-J I
must send two parents to the workplace, and many other households are single-parent
I 'I
households, the funds must come from somewhere to pay for the Job of taking care of children. '4 : t
In this way, chlldcare Is a 'new' economic cost, and It Is being addressed at the tederallevel very I:
slowly. to<
1;,1
Public Investment In chlldcare Is cost-effecllve when compared to the greater costs of Job ' '
: '
absenteeism, unemployment, and weltare dependence. The City of Iowa City, State Department t'j
of Human Services, and local agencies are not In a position to provide the needed tunds. There i-I
are, however, Iowa Wellare Reform proposals that recommend extending chlldcare and child : I
, ,
support programs after AFDC eligibility ends. This could be an Important first step In assisting ,..,
many poor children and their tam Illes. '1
; I
Family preservation. The 1990 Census Indicates that a significant number of tam Illes, youth, and '"
children are living In poverty. The agency Interview responses also tocused on the need for more II
services for families and children. There are currenlly many programs that provide many types ,
: i
ot assistance, and many 01 them could be Improved by focusing more on preventive Intervention ...
and outr€~ch. There Is again, however, the problem of limited and restrictive funding sources. ~,.",I, i

Two programs In particular, the Johnson County Head Start Family Service Program and the
Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County, are aimed at the needs of families, youth, and
children. The Head Start Family Service Program provides comprehensive child development and
family support services to high-risk families with preschool-aged children. This program also uses
an Interagency case management system for tam Illes. The Neighborhood Centers provide a
range of supportive services for families living In the Pheasant Ridge and Broadway Street
neighborhoods. They provide a variety ot services such as parent education, financial
management, chlldcare cooperallves, teen groups, family Intervenllon, and preschool groups. The
Centers also assist families In finding other resources. In addlllon, Youth Homes provides
translllonal sheller tor homeless parenting youth, and UA Y has a program for teen mothers.
These programs are In great demand In the community and often have waiting lists tor certain
services. Expanding nelghborhood.based services throughout the community and creating more
case management Interacllon would assist In earlier, comprehensive Intervenllon, Eariy and
expedient comprehensive Intervention will contribute to Improving and maintaining nuriuring family
environments.
The Iowa Child Welfare Oecategorizallon ProJect Is a demonstrallon project with the purpose of
developing family-oriented and communlty.based services that are not restricted by tradlllonal
deflnlllons and funding IImltallons. One main goal ot this project Is to enhance the availability of
tamlly-centered preventive services. Another Is to deliver services driven by client needs Instead
of categorical criteria. II successful, this demonstrallon project could provide many significant
recommendations to enhance the provision of family services In Iowa City and Johnson County.
Educatlonl/ob training/self-sufficiency skills. Assistance provided to people In poverty tends
to be more oriented toward managing crises that arise rather than prevenllon of poverty or more
long-term Intervention that Invests In a person's tuture. However, there are some Important
services available In Iowa City aimed at addressing the long.range goals of assistance-free,
Independent living.
The development of selt-sufflclency skills Involves promoting programs for, among others, general
Job training, general and vocational educallonal opportunities, health care and nutrition, self.
esteem enhancement, budgeting/money management, food management, family and parental
counseling, skills development, chlldcare, and communication skills. Many of these are already
avallable In the Iowa City area. Many limes the difficulty lies In getting the people who need them
to the appropriate program, agency, or course, or In providing adequate financial support for the
services.
The City will continue to tacllllate and enhance the development of self-sufficiency programs such
as LIFE Skills, Inc.'s program and HACAP's Transitional Housing Program. Togelher these two
programs provide a range ot services to families and Individuals Including personal child and
parent counseling, employment opportunities, financial education, housing, dally living assistance,
and semi-Independent living services to persons with physical disabilities, mental Illness or mental
retardation. In addition, the Public Housing Authority Is In the process of establishing a Family
Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program tor households In public housing or on Section 8 assistance. (For
more Intormation on the FSS Program, see Part l.a,2.II..)
CommunIty allltudes, The agencies Interviewed often said that the lack of adequate Information
regarding the extent and existence of poverty In Iowa City creates mlsperceptlons. Persons living
In poverty are often dllflcult to distinguish visibly, therefore many people In the community do not
realize the extent of poverty In Iowa City. Iowa City as a whole Is seen as a well-educated, well-

off city, when In tact there are two populations In Iowa City, one of which fits that description.
Iowa City also attracts many people looklng for work, who hear (sometimes from hundreds of
miles away) of the City's low unemployment rate. What they don't hear about Is the Intense
competition for a handful of professional jobs, and the many jobs paying minimum wage, with
which workers cannot find affordable housing In town. Often the problem of poverty Is associated
with the University student population, however, Census data show that a considerable number
of non-students also live In poverty.
There Is often a negative stigma attached to people who receive assistance from local agencies.
Some people avoid seeklng assistance that could significantly Improve their lives because of
negative attitudes, which In tum hampers agencies' ability to serve clients In the eariy stages ot
a problem because people walt until their situations are more desperate. In order to begin to
eliminate this stigma, citizens must be educated about poverty In their community. This can be
a very difficult job. Currently, funding Is the primary way that the City Is choosing to deal with the
problem of poverty. City Council support of tundlng for affordable housing and human service
agencies, however, shows residents that It Is Important to address poverty Issues, and that It
benefits the community as a whole.

basic housing skills tor low-Income Individuals and families. The GICHF also received a second - II
commitment trom several local flnanclallnstltutlons to assist with the new construction of eight : '
i' 'I, I::
,
two- and three-bedroom duplex rental units for very low-Income families. The lenders' assistance ,"" I ,

CDBG tunds for this program through the City's lending Institutions. Coordination between the ,
City and these Institutions Is working well In this second year of the program. -
Lender Partlcloatlon In Affordable Houslna Activities. In FFY93, City staff met wllh several l'
representatives of local financial Institutions to discuss their Interest In participating In several I'
,..
specific affordable housing activities. Interest was strong In general. One activity that came trom
this was the Homebuyers Education Seminar, the first one of which was held In July 1993, with ' ,
excellent attendance. More seminars like this, presented by several lenders and the Board of -
Realtors, are planned for FFY94. () I:

3. EHP serves a diverse population. Many single men and women with children, persons
In transition or In crisis situations, and users of human services are clients of EHP. He
said at this time many ot the persons at EHP are experiencing a need to stay longer at
EHP because they need to come up with the money to pay for rent and utilities and/or
deposits to live Independently elsewhere.
4. He said the needs are Increasing In the county and city. He also stated that although 31 %
ot the residents at EHP were from Johnson County, approximately 2.1% of the budget
comes trom City funds and 3% comes from County funds. He stated that he sees a need
for Increased funding trom City and County resources because of the decreases In other
areas, especially from state and/or tederal sources.
Jean Mann, Director of Elderly Services Agency, spoke about the problems ot housing the elderiy.
1. She congratulated the City for continuing to fund the Small Repair Program, which was
designed to assist elderiy persons with minor repairs or with accessibility Items so that
they could stay In their homes.
2. She said that ESA Is receiving more requests trom families for assistance so that they can
house or elderiy persons In their own homes.
3. She said that low Income elderly and mentally III elderiy are In need ot support tor
housing. And she stated that some are now In HUD subsidized housing; however, they
fear losing that housing because they need more care than a regular tenant. However,
these people are not quite ready for a nursing home. They need something between
Independent living and a nursing home.
4. Mann stated that the needs for In-home care are Increasing.
5. ESA and Ecumenical Towers did a survey that was mailed to 600 elderiy persons In a
random sample from the 6,000 elderiy people who get their newsletter. ESA will share
the results with the Housing Commission, and CCN members when It Is completed. They
hope that the survey will Identify housing gaps.
Nursing home beds are In short supply and due to this, nursing homes are not taking
persons who are In need of heavy care. However, she teels that the situation has been
Improving over the past year.
6.
7.
She said there were four Inquiries from private for.proflt developers to build elderiy
housing. However, these developers did not want to put In too many accessible units
because ot the Increased cost.

City.

I,
Graham Dameron, Director of the Johnson County Department of Health, addressed the Housing
Commission and CCN.
1. Dameron feels there Is a gap In residential facilities that have supportive services or In-
house care. He believes that there Is only one. These services are tor frail elderiy or
mentally III persons needing supportive housing. These persons need a higher level of
care but not a tull-tlme nurse or nursing home environment
2. Dameron also stated that HIV/AIDS patients are seeking medical treatment In Iowa City
because of the facilities that are located here. He also teels that many of these persons
who come to Iowa City may experience housing problems. At present, he believes there
are 47 persons that are HIV-posltlve now In Iowa City and that the number will be steadily
Increasing In the future.
3. Dameron also stated his concems regarding lead-based paint and the cost of rehabilitation
or abatement. He stated that HUD Is very Interested In lead-based paint but abating this
may affect the affordablllty of homes In Iowa City.
Rick Weber, a private citizen and former resident of Emergency Housing Project, spoke about
EHP.
1. Weber believes there Is something political going on at EHP because one person has
been the director there and doing all of the work, as well as pitching In and paying out
some of her own money when the sheller ran short. Now that person Is no longer going
to be the director because a new lull-time director has been hired.
2. He belteves that 80% of the residents come from someplace other than Johnson County
and that the composition of EHP residents has become more transient and will continue
to do so.
3. He believes that the EHP board Is made up of 'Sunday Christians.' These are people
who contribute or donate their time and/or resources when they teel It will best suit them.
However, he does not feel this Is humanity, II's Just people looking down on other people.
4. He has questions on the delegation of authority given to certain people at EHP. He
menUoned the head cook. He also believes that some members or residents of EHP are
spying on other residents at EHP and giving Information to the board and/or the directors.
5. He also stated that from time to time some persons that come through EHP are unruly.
However, this group Is not reprimanded.
6. Weber stated that most meetings like this are full of double talk and that nothing Is being
done. He also stated that In larger cities some shelters are closing. He does not believe
this Is a humane way to treat persons In need of help.
7. He said In Its eariler years EHP was doing better than It Is now. However, they do a good
Job and should be a model to other shelters.
S. He believes that the human need Is a real Issue and needs to be met with a helping hand.
9. He believes that there Is a bad attllude among some people at EHP.

, Deb Keller, VISTA volunteer working at EHP and the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship,
spoke about the GICHF. (See printed letter from Charile Eastham and Intormatlon regarding
GICHF's Security Deposit Loan Program).
1. Keller stated that the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) had started the
security deposit loan program arid It was sponsored by the GICHF and First National
Bank.
2. The lending of money for security deposits ana utility deposits started in February and at
present they have 21 outstanding (7) loans totalling $6,275.
3. She said that this has been a need for a lot of people and that they had a large number
of people applying for these loans.
4. She stated that some persons cannot make loan repayments and need grants. However,
the program provides just loans.
5. She stated that Governor Branstad signed a mobile home bill, Senate File 398, and within
that bill there Is provision that may allow landlords to charge up to three months' rent as
security deposit Instead of just the first and last month. This would have an Increased
burden on people seeking housing.
Mary Kelley, representing Systems Unlimited, spoke about that agency.
1. Systems Unlimited serves people with developmental disabilities.
2. The top priority for Systems Unlimited Is for three- and four-bedroom units because their
clients would like to have room for a group of Individuals (for example, two persons with '
developmental disabilities each In their own bedroom with a care provider In a third
bedroom). She said that most persons need someone living with them.
Wilfreda Hieronymus, representing the Chamber of Commerce, spoke about the problems for
housing developers, and some other Issues.
1. She believes the City has too many restrictions on developers so It Is virtually Impossible
tor them to develop affordable housing.
2. She believes the Sycamore View projeclthat was completed by the City for affordable
housing cannot be duplicated by developers since the City subsidized this development
with the Intrastructure.
3. She believes the City should look at higher density and encourage higher density housing
developments within Iowa City.
4. She also believes that the taxes are too high In Iowa City and maybe the City should look
at giving the developers Incentives and/or subsidies to build affordable housing.
5. She stated that she does not like trailers because they are not uniform and, as Jean Mann
pointed out, are difficult to gel repaired.

6.
She believes tho 'CIty should give tax breaks to developers and/or put In streets and other
Intrastnucture so that developers can construct affordable housing.
7. She believes that young people who are In trouble are kept In detention by the State unlll
they reach age 18 and then they are released. She believes that these young persons
need something to do and/or jobs and Job training, but these people will also be In need
ot h(ilJslng,
S. She grew up during the Depression and believes that people should not be given things
but they need to be allowed to eam them so they have a greater Investment In their job,
housing, etc.
9. She would like to expand the downpayment assistance program because It Is a loan and
when It Is repaId It goes back Into the program.
10. She believes that shared housing tor the elderiy may be helptul.
Ben Moore, Chairman of the Housing Commission, stated the City had been exploring a number
of avenues for affordable housing and he listed the downpayment assistance plan, the land
acquisition, the Press-Citizen building and several other programs the City was Involved In to
facilitate the development of affordable housing.
MaryAnn Dennis spoke on behalt of Ellen McCabe, Director of the Iowa City Crisis Center.
McCabe was unable to attend the meeting: however, she wanted these points to be placed Into
the record.
1. She believes that LIFE Skills Is worklng very hard tor the persons that are hard or
Impossible to house and that the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship's security deposit
loan program Is a very good Idea and needs to be expanded.
i
2. She would like to see addressed In the CHAS the contusion regarding the Secllon S
program. She acknowledges that there Is a lengthy wailing list and It Is unclear whether
any Incentlves exist for landlords to accept vouchers. She aIso stated that more frequent
Inspections and other HUD regulations are disincentives to landlords. She also wished to
make a point thai landlords are unclear about the process used for collecting security
deposits and/or collecting monies In the event that a tenant damages a unit. She believes
that these aspects of the Section 8 program need to be clear so landlords know the
process.
3. She believes that the vacancy rate tor rentals In Iowa City, which Is extremely low, shows
a need for Increased rental housing.
Keith Ruff, CCN member, said he believes that elderiy and other persons with dlsablllUes are not
getting enough Medicare waivers to allow for personal care, for people to come Into their homes
and give them assistance. He said he Is working on getting these waivers and/or getting help for
some at these people.

BI/I McCarty, Director of Youth Homes, Inc.
1.
He said that there are a lot ot young, single parents and their needs should continue to
be represented In the CHAS document as they were In the last one. Also, unaccompa-
nied adolescents who are without either a GED, high school diploma or jab skills need to
be addressed. He stated that some youth have jobs, but still cannot afford even the
smallest rental units or the security deposits to get those units.
2.
A new problem, which should be added to this CHAS Is that the Slate Is reducing Its
funding commitment to children. McCarty slaled that the Stare Is reducing 1he sIze ot
foster homes; therefore, many youth are released without support and are In need of
assistance. He believes that the Increase In the number of youth released trom toster
homes will put more pressure on already strained County and local resources.
Moore asked If there were any other questions or public comments. Hearing none, the meeting
was torrnaily closed at 7:25 p.m. '

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date: Novamber 5, 1993
To: City Council ~CPJt?
From: Assistant City Manager
Re: TCI Refranchising Proposal
On October 21, 1993, the City received from the cable company e proposal for a renewed
franchise agreement. The proposal is labeled ,as an "intormal" proposal submitted under
Section 6261h) of the 1984 Cable Act. While the cable company has the option of seeking
informal negotiations at any time and while that process may run in tendem with the formal
process, the City has made it clear throughout this process that we were In the formal
procedure for renewal. Neither staff nor Council has ever agreed to proceed informally. In
fact, as recently as September 27, 1993, by way of direct response to an inquiry from the
cable company, Assistant City Attorney Anne Burnside clarified that issue in writing. The City
Attorney has also made this clear In communications with various TCI representatives.
The proposal received Is essentially non-responsive to many of the terms set forth In the
request-for-proposel as requirements of the City and/or as requested considerations. Since
the submittal Is an informal proposal, it requires that the City give "public notice" and give
"opportunity for public input", after which a decision is made to grant or deny renewal In
response to the Informal submittal. Informal negotiations may also occur if agreed upon by
both parties. Staff will probably request that TCI withdraw Its informal proposal in the
interest of completing the formal process.
Because of the necessity to keep the formal process moving elong, you are asked to consider
a resolution on your agenda to reiterate the City's request as franchise holder for a formel
proposal. In the opinion of our consultant, this renewed request, along with a time frame of
45 days to respond with a formal proposal, is both reasonable and consistent with that which
is required ot the City under federallew.
The City Attorney and I will both be present et your meeting on November 9, 1993. If you
have questions or would like further Intormetion prior to your meeting, please do not hesitate
to contact either one of us.
