Re:
FY93 Annual Performance Report for Comprehensive Housing Affordability
Strategy (CHAS)
Last year an annual CHAS for FY93 was submllled to HUD. This document outlined the City's
'," planned housing activities for the City's fiscal year (July 1, 1992 to June 30, 1993). The allached
qHAS Annual Performance Report (APR) reports on those housing activities.
Overall, nearly $15 million from a number of funding sources was made available for housing and
housing supportive services during FY93, Approximately $7 million of Federal funding was
awarded to the City of Iowa City and other recipients, Over a thousand persons and hundreds'
of households benefilled from some type of housing assistance or supportive services, Data on
the actual number of persons assisted by some of the human service agencies was not available,
however, a composite of known households and Individuals assisted is found on Table 1.

Some of the highlights of the many housing activities undertaken this year follow. The PHA
added 15 units of Public Housing and applied for 50 Section 8 vouchers and certificates. Over
90 owner-occupied rehabilitation projects have been started with 76 completed. Many of these
units are occupied by elderly persons who are enabled to continue living safely and independentiy
In their own homes. A house was moved, rehabilitated and sold to a lower income family for
$57,000, The Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship purchased and rehabilitated two duplexes
for affordable rental housing. Robert Bums & Associates has plans for 18 units of elderly and
disabled housing to be located In the old Press.Cltlzen building, LIFE Skills, Inc. worked with
over 30 families to help them locate or stay in housing. Numerous homeless persons were
assisted by the City emergency shelters, and many members of special populations also received
assistance,
Although the City of Iowa City was successful with a majority of Its activities there were some
which were not completed for a variety of reasons. First, the City's attempt to work with the
private sector to construct 48 units of scallered site housing was unsuccessful due to lack of staff
time, the high cost of land and a lack of funding. Second, the Rental Rehabilitation Program, that
may be used to address code violations or provide handicapped accessibility, did not generate
a great deal of Interest among landlords. This was probably due to a combination of the low cost
of private funding and the City's effecllve code enforcement activities. For FY93 the Rental
Rehabilitation Program did commit funds for three projects containing 10 units. Third, the
rehabilitation of the O'Reilly Hotel for affordable housing stalled because of the owner's frustration
with the HOME program's regulations and delays, The O'Reilly Hotel was rehabilitated at the
owner's expense, however, the affordability aspect was lost. Fourth, the Family Self-Sufficiency
Program, Instituted by the Public Housing Authority, was delayed by changing federal regulations
and requirements. Fifth, a Single Room Occupancy (SRO) study for Iowa City was delayed due
to staff turnover in the Community Development Division and lack of time because of the flood,

Finally, the City's acquisition of vacant land for the development of affordable housing has been
slowed due to the unavailability of land,
In other words, we made some progress in Increasing the availability of affordable housing, but
there's a long way to go, and the obstacles are many. If you have any questions prior to the
Council meeting, please contact Steven Nasby at 356.5248.

from 2 primary sources: the federal Rental Rehabilitation
Program and the Iowa Finance Authority Housing Assistance
Fund.

$60,000 in federal Rental Rehab funds for FFY91. These
funds were received through the Iowa Department of

contributions. In FY93, $11,051 in federal dollars and
approximately $15,200 in private dollars have been
expended on one 3-bedroom project. This project is also in
a target neighborhood and the tenant household is low-

Salvage Building For the past two years, the City has had a program to
salvage materials from homes scheduled for demolition,
These materials have been stored in various locations and
used for rehab projects to reduce costs. Savings due to the
program have amounted to approximately $10,000, The
City committed $37,000 in FY92 (expended in FY93) for
the construction of a building to house the salvaged
material, as the program has grown so much. The building
was com'pleted in FY93. The salvage program is run jointly
with a local nonprofit historic preservation organization.
This building also houses the "Furniture Project" which
makes used furniture available to homeless and other very
low-income families. '

CDBG funds in the amount of $8,232 were available at the
beginning of fiscal year 1993 for downpayment assistance
for low-income first-time home buyers in Iowa City. This is a
match for homebuyers' contributions (up to $ 2,000 of
assistance per household). At the end of FY93, $3,902
were still uncommitted. In FY93, two low-income
households were assisted. The City committed another
$15,000 in CDBG funds to this activity in April, 1993.
Greater participation is expected as local lenders become
familiar with the program.
During the fiscal year, $213,173 in CDBG funds were
expended for a variety of owner-occupied rehabilitation
projects, Nine comprehensive rehabilitations for low-income
owners were completed, most of them in the City's Urban
Revitalization Area, In addition, four homes were made
accessible for owners with physical disabilities, three
households received a loan for exterior repairs, and ten
homeowners were assisted with emergency repairs.
Although only 9 of the 16 projects were cumprehensive
rehab projects, the other 7 low-income households could not
have remained in their homes without assistance. Another
ten projects are underway, and funds have been committed.
The Rehabilitation Office coordinated the move and reheb of
a single-family home for a low/moderate income family who
provided 1300 hours of sweat equity. The City provided
$57,000 (the appraised value and sale price) for this project,
most of which was repaid to the City upon sale of the
property.
In FY93, the PHA applied for 20 new construction units for
replacement. This program is schaduled to begin in FY94
and the goal is to sell 20 units of Public Housing.

PRIORITY: RESEARCH AND PLANNING ACTIVITIES
Actlvltv/Proaram
Educetlonal Activities Five staff members of the Community Development Division
attended various workshops, conferences and seminars in
FY93: Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention meetings (Linn and
Johnson Counties); Federal Home Loan Bank Workshop on
Affordable Housing Financing; Iowa NAHRO conferences;
Housing Inspection workshops; CHAS workshops; HOME
and HOPE workshops; NCDA Legislative Conference; APA
Conference; Historic Preservation and Affordable Housing
workshop; and IAHO meetings,
!: Lot Acquisition Polley In April 1992, the City Council adopted a policy for the
;', purchase of vacant lots for the purpose of providing
affordable housing opportunities in Iowa City.
Approximately $75,000 of General Fund monies are I
" ~
earmarked to be invested for the purchase of between five I
I ,
and seven lots, Specific criteria will be used to determine if ,I !I
!', lot acquisition is appropriate, and the suitability of a lot for I!
;:' new construction or for the relocation of an older structure. Ii if
" On any lot purchased and sold in this way, afford ability will
be maintained for at least 15 years through resale I,:
r: agreements. No funds have been expended to date, t~ 11

The Iowa City Zoning Ordinance was changed in FY93 to
allow special exceptions for development of a single-family
house on infilllots that fail to meet the minimum lot area
required in that zone. This will potentially allow affordable
homes to be developed In places where none could be

C, HOUSEHOLDS AND PERSONS ASSISTED WITH HOUSING (COMMENTS ON TABLE 1)
This report only includes persons and households who moved into a unit/shelter in FY93,
Families who lived in Public Housing last year and continue to do so are not counted, for
example: the goals for assistance in Table 3B of the FY93 CHAS Annual Plan are compared
here with the actual number of families assisted,
Renters
Elderly Households. For elderly renter households, the figure in Table 1 is considerably smaller
than the figure in the CHAS Annual Plan for FY93 (2 as opposed to 80) for basically two
reasons, First, for the actual figures for FY93 we did not break down PHA-assisted
households by household size; that information was not available, Out of the 442 households
assisted by the Public Housing Authority, some were elderly households -- approximately nine
percent of households currently assisted are elderly households. Second, the estimates done
last year included the one-bedroom units that will be provided in the Press-Citizen Building
.renovation when it is completed. It was expected that it would be done in FY93, but that did
not happen. The building has been purchased by the developer.
Other Renters. In general, assistance for renter households far exceeded last year's
estimates, 529 assisted versus 168 estimated. The estimate was low because last year it
was not anticipated that Section 8 would be counted. Renters were assisted in FY93 through
four programs as follows:
Public housing units 18
Section 8 424
Villa Garden Apartments 83
Rental Rehab 4
Owners
Existing Owners. This category consists of households receiving rehab assistance from the
City of Iowa City and elderly and handicapped households assisted by Elderly Services
Agency's Small Repair Program, which makes small emergency repairs for low-Income
homeowners using CDBG funds.
Flrst-Time Homebuyers. Only two households were assisted with down payment assistance
funds through CDBG In FY93, less than expected. Most of the funds from the 1992 CDBG
year were expended before the beginning of FY93, and funds for the 1993 CDBG year (July
1, 1993 through June 30, 1994) were not available before the end of FY93. It Is expected
that this number will be higher In the next performance report.
Homeless
The difference between the 1992 estimates and the 1993 actual figures Is accounted for in
part by the fact thet the estimates were based on duplicated figures from the City's
emergency shelters. The actual figures for FY93 are fairly reliable. The shelters were asked
to report to the City monthly for FY93 on the number of undupllcatod households and
Individuals who entered the shelter during that month. Individual shelters' figures are
a's~.,

therefore reliable, and any overlapping between the three area shelters is minimal (one shelter
is just for victims of domestic violence, one is just for youth, and the third has no restrictions).
In addition, the estimate is for individuals only, whereas Table 1 separates individuals and
families. Some homeless families may have five or more persons, which would considerably
increase the total number of homeless individuals.
Assistance bv Race
Data for assistance by racial and ethnic group show that assistance for minority groups
exceeded the proportion of very low-income households in the population for Blacks (non-
Hispanic), Hispanics, and Native Americans, but was below the proportion for very low-
income Asian and Pacific Islanders. This might be explained by the large Asian student
population at the University of Iowa. The figures are:
Racial/Ethnic Overall % in % Below 50% % Persons % Households
Group Population MFI Assisted Assisted
Hispanic 1 2 6 2
White 91 84 71 79
Black 2 3 21 11

D.
OTHER ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN
1. Public Policies
Iowa City has its own unique set of barriers to affordable housing, many of which can
be addressed, at least partially, through local public policies,
AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES
I
I
i
,
r
,
t
t
~

~:
~
t
.
I:
!
The availability of resources is generally the most fundamental problem, with a lack of
financial resources and available land at issue. The increase in homeless ness, and
serious affordable housing issues, has caused the creation and limited funding of state
and federal housing programs. Iowa City will continue to try to capture as many of
these funds as possible, but more private and City funds are needed,
In Iowa City, the availability of reasonably priced developable residential land
{particularly for multi-family structuresl that is relatively close to jobs, schools and
shopping is nearly nonexistent. In addition, developers who are constructing housing
on the available land are targeting the middle- to upper-income owner-occupied housing
market, and the student rental market. To further aggravate the problem, the land that
is available is owned by a relatively small number of landowners, many of whom are
not inclined to develop their land. This tends to drive up the cost of land offered for
development.
Unlike many communities, the City does not own any vacant land available for housing
development. In 1992, the City Council adopted a policy for property acquisition
through an ongoing lot acquisition program which was adopted with $75,000 in
acquisition funds attached, The City has not yet been successful in acquiring any lots.
The Council also approved $30,000 of CDBG funds for this activity in the City's 1994
fiscal year (the 1993 CDBG program year), The scarce availability of hind has
prevented these monies from being used in FY93,
Possible sources of funding in addition to federal resources are the general revenue
fund, general obligation bonds, housing revenue bonds, tax ebatement, or tax
increment financing. In FY92 and FY93 the City Council approved the use of both tax
increment financing and tax abatement for specific housing projects, Bonds or general
revenue funds were not used and will probably not be used in the near future due to
a State-imposed property tax freeze for the next two years,
Annexation has been considered very recently. One annexation project for affordable
housing is currently under review; the proposed housing will be for families at 80%-
100% of medien income and above. Also, an ordinance amendment regarding
ellowing development of single.family housing on a non-conforming (smalll infilllot
was epproved by the City Council in FY93 to be examined on a case-by-case besis.
Iowa City Is experimenting with Incentive zoning with Its PRM and CB.5 zones. The
Planned High Density Multi-Femily Residential Zone (PRMI allows a density of 50
dwelling units per acre, but contains a provision allowing higher densities for one-
bedroom units (approximately 62 units per acrel end efficiencies (approximately 87

units per acre), In the CB-5 zone residential units that are part of a City-approved
affordable housing program are exempt from the minimum parking requirements,
provided that those units do not exceed 30 percent of the building's total units. This
is only a limited use of incentive zoning, however; a more extensive experiment in the
housing area may be justified.

Building code regulations directly influence all commercial and residential construction.
The main purpose for building code regulations is to protect the public health, safety,
and welfare, Changes in these codes must be met with intense scrutiny because
public safety is the basic responsibility of a governing 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, The City will need to consider
housing afford ability with the health and safety of all its citizens, The City already has
some flexibility built into its building code regulations, such as regulations regarding
the use of less expensive building materials.
\'
!i
A subtle barrier to affordable housing is the attitude of the community. Rules and
regulations concerning housing and discrimination can be passed by governing bodies,
but a persistent, unfavorable stigma is attached to public and low-cost housing and the
people who live in them. There are also fears of drug and gang activity. 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.

The City has continued its efforts to address discrimination that people confront in
seeking housing in Iowa City. In the State of Iowa, access to housing, and equal
housing services, may not be denied because of race, color, creed, sex, religion,
national origin, physical/mental disability/handicap, or familial status/presence of
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 Tenant/Landlord Association both
report that a number of housing discrimination complaints deal with family size, For
a large, lower-rent apartment, landlords would often times prefer 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 followed through on twelve official complaints last year.'
The City has attempted to deal with these fair housing issues, some that are unique
to Iowa City (relative to the rest of the state), by legislating against certain types of
discrimlnetion that ere perceived to be widespread (such as discrimination based on
public assistance, e.g. AFDC assistance),
In addition, community attitudes effect 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 for
educeting the community, and be prepared to experiment with unpopular solutions.
Council discussions on these matters are continuing,

The City has continued to work with local financial institutions and private nonprofit
and for-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. Institutional Structure
The institutions described below are only those directly involved with the provision of
housing in Iowa City, either through programs, projects, or financing. There are
dozens of 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,
~
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 currently assisted with rental housing. The City's Department of Pianning and
Community Development is a major actor, too, with its Housing Rehabilitation
Program, planning and research activities, technical assistance for housing providers,
some housing development, and the administration of Community Development Block
Grant funds, many of which go to housing-related projects.

organization devoted solely to housing low-income persons, and it has so far
concentrated on Section 8 renters. This relatively young organization has greatly
increased its capacity in the last year, hiring a full-time housing specialist and receiving
$650,000 in HOME Program funds in FY93, In FY93, the GICHF proposed to work on
a joint venture with Robert Burns and Associates, a private developer who has recently
completed a 48-unit complex of affordable rental units. The City agreed to 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,
~'~

Apart from this, Robert Burns & Associates was awarded $30,000 in CDBG funds,
$400,000 in HOME funds, $150,000 in tax abatement (over ten years) from the City
of Iowa City, and $900,000 Low-Income Housing Tax Credits for his conversion of the
Iowa City Press-Citizen Building to 18 one-bedroom units for elderly persons and
persons with disebilities. The firm has recently purchased the building and is beginning
rehabilitation.
The local lending institutions have played an increasingly important role of late in the
development of 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 CDBG funds), A group of lenders, along
with the City and the Board of Realtors, presented e free Homebuyer Education
Seminar in FY93, which will be continued due to its initial intarest and success,
The importance of 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. IThis year Iowa City shelters received a total of $18,770 from the

Emergency Shelter Grants Program, as opposed to last year's total of $46,770 -- a 60
percent reductionll
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 State's shift 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, primarily through the Housing
Rehabilitation Program, as well as upgrading it, as is the case with accessibility
'improvements. Elderly Services Agency continued to run the Small Repair Program,
which assists persons with 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 City's Housing Rehab Program,

However, as already mentioned, the biggest gap in adequately sheltering the residents
of Iowa City is simply the lack of affordable housing, Approximately 7,650
households, with incomes 95 percent of the median or below, are paying more than
30 percent of their income for housing. Creative solutions to the lack of land available
for affordable housing development is needed, most likely in the form of modification
to zoning. In addition, the state has imposed a property tax freeze for the next two
years, which wiil hurt the City's ability to carry out certain activities, including housing
activities.

Intergovernmental Cooperation
~'
!!
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. Governments, in addition, have regulatory power, taxing
capabilities, and often have capital assets, such as land.
I
I
/
,
~
!
I
!
,
At the federal and state levels, especially, resources in the form of funding and staff
are being cut. Perhaps the greatest weakness of public institutions is the inability of
localities to rely on them in the development of a long. range stretegy, The inflexibility
of state and federal regulations and funding has been identified by local nonprofit
agencies in Iowa City as e deterrent to the efficient provision of their services. The
largest portion of funds for housing stiil 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 few natural disasters, could put federal housing programs in Jeopardy.
The State provides less /n funding, but could potentially be of great assistance to
localities in the coordination of hOUSing delivery on a reg/onal basis. The City has
discussed housing strategies on a regional level with soveral groups and will continue
to do so. These groups include: the Ecumenical Consultation: East Central Iowa

Council of Governments; Johnson County Council of Governments; the Local Homeless
Coordinating Board; and the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity,
At the local level, 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 financial institutions came
in 1992 and 1993 in order to pool funds to assist a private nonprofit agency to rehab
and construct affordable rental units. HIS administers the Public Housing Authority;
it is active in Public Housing acquisition, Section 8 rental assistance, the Family Self-
Sufficiency Program, and a Drug Elimination Grant.
Private For-Profit. The private sector's strengths and resources are many and include
financial resources, underwriting capabilities, community recognition, fund 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 of a community need to participate in the provision of affordable
housing for its citizens. The resources and expertise of 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, Several
financial institutions joined to assist the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (G1CHF)
in FY93 to acquire eight lots for the construction of eight rental units to be available
for 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 GICHFand a for-profit developer are also
working 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,
One lender has provided a no.interest loan to the GICHF for its Rental Deposit Loan
Program, to be used as a revolving loan pool.
Private Nonprofit. 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, Its staffing capability has been increased in 1993, to
help administer the $650,000 in HOME funds that it has been awarded.
Nonprofit organizations are struggling and scrambling for 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 without it, making bad
situations even worse. The City will work with these agencies to assist in the
coordination of funding source information, review of certain regulations and other
actions. For example, a Security Bill (SF 3981 was recently passed by the Iowa
Legislature that allows landlords to collect a two-month security deposit on rental units
and allows increased interest on late payments, up to $40 per month. This bill
potentially makes rental housing even less affordable.
Other. First, resources should be made available for emergency needs, funds for
problems that cannot be met any other way. One such resource that exists already
is the Common Fund, this emergency fund is administered by the Ecumenical
Consultation and can be used for needs thet can't be met through other sources of

rental deposits. Approximately $2,000 is available each month for maximum loans of
$400.

I:
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 barriers to housing and is greatly
concerned with better coordination and cooperation with 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 of hard-to-
house tenants in finding housing, There is a housing gap for these households.
~
i~
For low- to moderate-income potential first-time homebuyers, there is a gap in
information regarding 11 what assistance for downpayments (as well as rehab) exists;
21 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.

4. Public Housing Improvements
The public housing stock in Iowa City is relatively new, with most of the units
constructed since 1985. It is not in need of rehabilitation or demolition at this time.
In addition, the Public Housing Authority received $29,000 in FY93 to fund a joint
project with a local non-profit organization for a Drug Abuse Prevention program, The
program provides supportive services to the children living in public housing units.
Activities include recreation and skill building,
6. Public Housing Resident Initiatives
The Public Housing Authority has initiated the development of rosldent associations In
two housing developments (Shamrock and Broadway apartments). These associations
are involved in decision making concerning prospective housing developments, and in
tenant selection.
In FY93 the Public Housing Authority applied for funds to construct 20 new public
housing units. Thirteen new units of public housing will be constructed in FY94,
6. Lead-Based Paint Hazerd Reduction
The City prepared data for FY94-98 CHAS Annual Plan. The CHAS projected a
number of hazardous units based upon avaliable HUD data, and collected relevant
information.

II. ASSESSMENT OF ANNUAL PERFORMANCE
The mission of the City of Iowa City's CHAS is to address housing and related
community support service needs, especially those of families and persons who have
very low, low, and moderate incomes, The goals are to provide and improve
opportunities to secure safe, decent, and affordable housing commensurate with their
income. The fOllowing is an assessment of the City's performance in relation to
meeting its overall five year priorities and in particular its second-year plan.
A. Expand and maintain the affordable rental housing stock and expand rental
assistance.
During the' City's last fiscal year (July, 1992 to June, 19931 there were a
number of rental units developed, The private market built approximately 205
units, which should help ease the rental housing crunch. Additionally, a non-
profit developer has purchased and rehabl!itated two duplexes and plans to
purchase two more duplexes for very low income tenants, A for-profit
developer has purchased the "old" Press-Citizen Building, He will be
rehabilitating, and preserving, this historic structure into 18 one-bedroom rental
units for elderly persons and persons with disabilities, The City's attempt to
work with private developers to construct 48 scattered site rental units was not
successful due to the high cost of land, feasibility problems and the flood.
Attempts will be made by the City to follow through with this goal.
The City of Iowa City's, Rehabilitation Office has a rental rehabilitation program
in place. Landlords can use this program to fix code violations or to make
rental units handicapped accessible, provided that the tenants are income
eligible. The City has funds from the Iowa Department of Economic
Development (IDED) and the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA). In FY93 the Rehab
Office has assisted 10 rental units. Of these 10 units, two are owner-occupied
and the other 8 will be occupied by low-moderate income persons. Response
to the Rental Rehabilitation program has been decreaSing. This lack of interest
may be due to the availability of private low interest rate loans and effective
code enforcement. Private lenders have money available at low rates without
the strings associated with federal and state funding. Because of the lack of
interest, the City of Iowa City has decided not to apply for more funding for
rental rehab from IDED or IFAi however, if interest grows, the City will consider
applying in the future. The rehabilitation of the O'Reilly Hotel into 15 rental
units was recently carried out without federal subsidies due to the owner's
frustration with the HOME program's regulations and time frames. As a result,
the rents, SUbsequently, are not affordable to low income households.
The Iowa City Public Housing Authority (ICPHA) began a Family Self-Sufficiency
(FSSI advisory team in FY93. FSS assists families on rental assistance by using
Sect/on 8 and private funds to enable the household to achieve economic
independence. The FSS team met each month, but its efforts were thwarted
by the Changing federal regulations. As part of the FSS program, the ICPHA
made applications to HUD for additional Section 8 Certificates and Vouchers,
It is expected that the ICPHA will receive some increase in the amount of

Section 8 rental assistance, The ICPHA has also purchased 15 additional units
of scattered site housing to add to the Public Housing stock.
The most effective method of preventing homelessness is to enable persons to
stay in their housing units. LIFE Skills, Inc, is a non-profit organization that has
a housing program designed to assist "hard-to-house" persons with basic
housing skills such as budgeting and housekeeping, The part-time Housing
Coordinator is supported by a Community Development Block Grant from the
City of Iowa City. Last year LIFE Skills, Inc, assisted 31 households either
locate or stay in housing,
Technical assistance was provided to numerous developers, non-profits, and
private organizations by the City of Iowa City's Community Development
Division and Urban Planning Division, One non-profit worked with the City on
a HOME application for the new construction of 4 duplexes. Staff also worked
with for-profit developers on multi-family housing projects and affordable single-
family housing units without tangible results this year. The City is striving for
the creation of public-private partnerships that involve private developers,
lenders, non-profits, and government.
B.
Continue to assist local service providers in providing shelter and semi.
independent living arrangements for persons in need of supportive services.
The City assisted three local shelters and human service providers with
obtaining financial assistance for operations, maintenance and technical
support, During the past year the City applied for $173,230 in Emergency
Shelter Grant Program IESGPI funds and received an award of $18,770. This
award was a reduction of nearly 60 percent from the previous year, The City
will be assisting these shelters with applying for rehabilitation funds from
federal and state programs such as Shelter Plus Care, Youth build, and HOME.
CDBG funds were utilized to provide Elderly Services Agency IESAI with
$47,950 in operational funds for FY93, ESA provides programs and services
for persons over age 62. These programs include the following: Shared
Housing, Chore, Respite, Frail Elderly, Case Management, Low-Risk Elderly, and
Moderate-Risk Elderly. Approximately 826 elderly persons were served by the
Chor Program alone. ESA also operates the Small Repair program. This
program assists seniors with small repairs and maintenance which enables them
to stay in their homes longer. It also provides for a safer living environment for
the elderly. ESA used $16,235 in CDBG funds to assist 60 households with
small repairs in FY93. Iowa City's plan to assist an existing transitional housing
program has stalled due to lack of funding for this program by HACAP and the
flood, Training the new staff, administering the on'going programs, and
addressing the problems created by the flood consumed most of staff's time,
However, staff has begun working on a study of "Options for Some Unmet
Housing Needs in Iowa City". This study, which deals mainly with unmet
housing needs for the homeless, special populations, and persons released from
psychiatric or substance abuse programs, will be undertaken by staff and local
human service providers,

Four local non-profits, with assistance from City staff, put together a
Supplemental Assistance for Facilities to Assist the Homeless (SAFAH) grant
application requesting $45,000 a year for three years, Unfortunately, the
application did not receive funding.
In addition to the items presented in the second year plan, Iowa City has
assisted Youth Homes, Inc., a non-profit, with their Structured Community
Independent Living Services (SCILSI transitional housing program. Youth
Homes, Inc. received epproximately $948,000 in state funds for this program.
Systems Unlimited, a' non-profit specializing in assisting persons with
disabilities, received City support for Section 811 funding. Finally, the Public
Housing Authority worked jointly with Johnson County Neighborhood Centers
on a Drug Abuse Prevention grant, and were awarded $29,000. This program
is designed to assist children who live in the City's public housing units.
C. Expand and maintain affordable owner-occupied housing opportunities for low
and moderate Income households and first.time homebuyers.
The City of Iowa City acquired and moved a house that was scheduled for
demolition. This house was placed on an in-fill lot, which was previously
purchased by the City. Potential homeowners were solicited and a low-income
family was selected. This family used CDBG rehabilitation funds and a sweat-
equity agreement (1300 hours) to fix-up the dwelling. The home was
completed and then sold to this family for $57,000.
During the year the City's Rehabilitation Office began 26 CDSG rehabilitation
projects and completed sixteen. In addition, work began on the HOME Owner-
Occupied Rehabilitation Program that targets ten additional homes for rehab,
Approximately $213,173 of CDBG funds were spent on owner-occupied rehab
projects that included Emergency Repair, Comprehensive Rehab, Energy
Conservation, Residential Accessibility, and Exterior Repair. Most projects are
located in the older part of the City, which is designated as an Urban
Revitalization Area, The Rehab program is designed to maintain the City's
stock of affordable housing. Most of the projects are funded as Conditional
Occupancy Loans which are not repaid until the home Is sold or is no longer the
applicant's principal residence. These funds have traditionally been returned to
the Rehabilitation Program for use on other projects.
Iowa City has used CDBG funds to capitalize the Downpayment Assistance
Program for the past two years, however, the total funding committed has only
amounted to approximately $30,000. Two first-time homebuyers were
assisted with downpayment and closing costs in FY93. Staff expects more
interest in this program in the future due to the active housing market within
the City. In July, the City co-hosted a Homebuyers Educational Seminar with
the local lenders and Board of Realtors. This seminar focused on home
affordability, assistance programs, the loan process, selecting a realtor, and
home maintenance. Over 20 persons attended this seminar and asked
questions of the lenders and realtor. Another seminar is being planned for
spring, 1994,

The Public Housing Authority planned to assist 20 first-time homebuyers via
Section 5(H). In connection with this sale of public housing units the PHA
applied for and was awarded federal funds to replace the units which were to
be sold. Twenty units were acquired, and 20 existing public housing units will
be sold.
To construct affordable housing in Iowa City, ownership of 'and is key, The
City has committed CDBG and General Revenue funds to a land acquisition
program. Infilllots have been targeted for purchase, One such lot, obtained
two years ago, was used for the house move. Due to the high cost of land and
general unavailability, no other parcels have been purchased. Staff has met
with non-profit and for-profit developers regarding affordable housing projects.
One parcel of land was targeted for 8 units of affordable housing but the owner
was unwilling to sell. Finding and purchasing larger parcels of land for
affordable housing projects is difficult and very expensive, Additional public
funding will have to be secured before the City can afford to actively compete
for desirable, developable parcels.

on Barriers to Affordable Housing that addressed several issues Including
development standards and zoning regulations, This document was given to
the City Council for discussion. Staff made several suggestions regarding the
design of subdivisions and how affordable housing could be constructed within
the City. Further discussion with the Council is expected. A more complete
study of development standards was postponed as work began on the new five
year CHAS document. Urban Planning staff coordinated an ordinance change
that would allow for development of affordable housing on non-conforming lots,

The Iowa City Economic Development Division has a site survey of available
land within the City, but it is several years old, A new survey was begun in
FY93 but has not yet been completed. As stated above, there Is only a limited
amount of land evailable for development. Also, the Public Housing Authority
is in search of vacant parcels, they will need 33 lots for construction of
scattered site single-family hOUSing. Staff will work jointly to identify parcels
available for the development of affordable housing.
At the present time the City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission are in
the process of considering a large annexation. The Sycamore Farms eddition
Is sizable and intended to be developed for housing that is affordable to
households at 80-1 00 percent of median income and above. Opportunities for
acquiring land for affordable housing, or for establishing incentive zoning, exist
with this annexation.
Staff continues to work with other local government jurisdictions regarding
development, zoning, and housing issues. This years' flood persuaded several

jurisdictions to work together on flood relief. Cooperation on these and other
issues will be continued.
A Single Room Occupancy ISRO) study, conducted by Community Development
Division staff, has not been started yet. Again, due to the staff turn-over and
the flood, this Issue has been delayed until later in 1993. A large amount of
data was collected for the new CHAS and will be used in this project. The new
information will benefit staff and local human service providers with
applications for funding.
SUMMARY
Overall the City is making progress addressing the goals and objectives of its Five-Year
Strategy as identified in the CHAS. The high cost of housing and unavailability of vacant land
or vacant housing continue to ~Iow the process, however.

APPENDIX B:
SUMMARY OF PUBLIC COMMENTS AND SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS TAKEN
At the December 14, 1993. Housing Commission Meeting a Public Hearing on the Annual
Performance Report (APR) was conducted. No citizens, other than Housing Commission
members and staff, were present or commented on this document. The following comments
were received from the Housing Commission members,
1. A comment regarding the amount of funds received for housing and housing support
services during FY93,
Answer: The sources and programs utilized by the City of Iowa City, non-profit
agencies, and a for-profit devaloper are briefly defined on pages one through four, The
funds listed on these pages total nearly $15 million dollars,
2. Does Table 1 include all parsons and/or households assisted in FY937
Answer: Table 1 does not include all persons essisted during FY93 due to the reporting
deficiencies of several administering agencies, Some programs do not require as
extensive record keeping as HUD, therefore, ,these agencies only have a total number
of persons served (not seperated by race, income, or household size). This being the
case, these persons or housaholds cannot be included in Table 1.

T AUZA TlON AREA
CODE OF IOWA CRITERIA
The Urban Revitalization Act of the State of Iowa grants a City the authority to designate
portions of the City meeting specified criteria, as revitalization areas. On September 28,
1993, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 93.259 finding that the proposed Block 62
Urban Revitalization Area meets the criteria of Sections 404.1 (3) and (41, 1993 Code of
Iowa, and that the rehabilitation, conservation, redevelopment, economic development, or a
combination thereof is necessary in the interests of the public health, safety or welfare of the
residents of Iowa City.

Sections 404.1 !3i and (4) provide that a City may designate an area of the City a
revitalization area if that area is "an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvdments which by reason of age, history, architecture or significance should be
preserved or restored to productive use," or "an area which is appropriate as an economic
development area as defined In section 403.17." Section 403,17 defines an economic
development area as "an area of a municipality designated by the local governing body as
appropriate for commercial and industrial enterprises or housing and residential development
for low and moderate income families, including single or multifamily housing. Such
designated area shall not include land which is part of a century farm."

The City Council has adopted the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS)
which outlines City policy regarding the provision of affordable housing. The first priority of
the CHAS is to expand and maintain the affordable rental housing stock and expand rental
assistance. The CHAS also emphasizes the need for housing opportunities for persons with
special needs, inClUding the elderly and persons with disabilities.

The City Council has also adopted the Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan which outlines City
policy regarding the preservation of historic and architecturally significant bUildings. The Iowa
City Historic Preservation Plan identifies the Press-Citizen Building (319 E. Washington), the
Iowa Building (southeast corner of Linn and Washington), and the Masonic Temple (312 E.
Collegei as key buildings in terms of architectural and historic significance and recommends
the preservation and improvement of these bUildings and other key downtown buildings as
a means of promoting the economic vitality of the City's center. The Commerce Building (325
E, WaShington) is also historically significant in terms of its place in Iowa City history as once
being the home of the Elks Club. In addition, Trinity Church (320 E. College) is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. Five of the six structures located on Block 62 are either
historically and/or architecturally significant to the community. In order to preserve or restore
bUildings such as these, the Historic Preservation Pian promotes the use of local economic
incentives, including property tax exemption.

URBAN REVITALIZATION PLAN OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of this Plan is to encourage the adaptive reuse of historic and
architecturally significant structures in the revitalization area for housing for low and moderate
income households. The revitalization area provides an ideal location in which to provide low
and moderate income housing opportunities because of Its close proximity to downtown
shops and offices, medical facilities, the public transportation hub and intercity bus service,
the Public Library, the Recreation Center, and the Senior Center.
Currently, five of the six buildings in the proposed revitalization area are being utilized, The
sixth building, the Press-Citizen Building is unoccupied. A developer proposes to construct
apartments to be occupied by low-income individuals. The developer's proposed use of this
structure provides an excellent example of how the goals of both the CHAS and the Historic
Preservation Plan can be met through adaptive reuse of a historic and architecturally
significant building by providing low income housing for the elderly and persons with
disabilities. With this project as an example, other similar opportunities exist in the
revitalization area,
Consequently, the primary objactive of this Plan is to encourage the adaptive reuse of historic
and architecturally significant buildings in the revitalization area for housing for low and
moderate income households, To achieve this objective, the City of Iowa City shall undertake
the urban revitalization activities as specified in this Urban Revitalization Plan, pursuant to the
powers granted to it under Chapter 404 of the 1993 Code of Iowa, as amended,
