Any contribution the Commission makes for this event would help defray the cost of the event and any remaining funding will go to the UN Trust Fund To End Violence Against Women and Girls.

Motion passed 5-0. k, Municipal Identification Cards Finnerty reported that the proposal at this time is that Johnson County would be the issuer of the card. The card has received great support from the County including the Auditor's Office, Supervisors and County Attorney. Municipal identification cards are now being referenced as community identification cards to support community accessibility. Eastham added that the Board of Directors for the Center for Worker Justice recommends that the County issue the cards and administer the program. Equipment costs, non-profit versus for -profit models, security of personal information, the risks to undocumented persons, and other counties in the country that have implemented similar programs was also part of the discussion. Commissioners thanked the Center for Worker Justice for all their hard work. Motion: Moved by Coulter for the Human Rights Commission to recommend to the Council that: The City of Iowa City support the adoption and implementation of the Municipal Identification Card ( now referred to as the Community Identification Card) by Johnson County; Upon adoption of the Community Identification Card the City of Iowa City formally recognizes the validity of the card.

Racial/Ethnic Equity Roundtable No report. Education No report at this time. Bowers will send an email to Retish asking him to convene a meeting of the subcommittee. Building Communities (Housing) Townsend has been communicating with Steve Rackis, Director of the Housing Authority, requesting that the Housing Authority add language in its brochure (Who We Are & What We Do) that explains that the Housing Authority has its own investigative process for allegations of criminal misconduct for participants of the program. Townsend provided Rackis with a written suggestion for what to write in the brochure: There may be situations where questionable actions may occur and it is necessary for the Housing Authority to initiate actions that will have a negative impact on the consumer maintaining their housing benefits. When such situations occur the individual has the right to appeal Housing Authority's decision to terminate, or take other actions related to their benefits. It is important that individuals be aware that in such situations Housing Authority conducts it's own investigation and any decision such as termination of housing benefits, or other actions is based on the outcome of Housing Authority's investigation and not the outcome of the individual's involvement with the legal system. Rackis responded that the Housing & Urban Development regulations are very specific and will not fit in the remaining space in the brochure. Rackis stated the following language will be inserted in the brochure: HEARING PROCEDURES (Termination of Assistance) The Federal Regulations regarding Hearing Procedures for Housing Authorities is in Title 24 Federal Code of Regulations (CFR) 982.555. The Iowa City Housing Authority Informal Hearing procedures are in the HCVAdministrative Plan: Section 15.4 C. Hearing Procedures, Page 71. A copy of our Hearing Procedures is available upon request or viewed online at: http:11www.i gov.orz1?1d=1213 Townsend believes that most people are going to get lost in this wording and that assumption and misinformation can be very dangerous. Townsend feels that when you have an opportunity to put the information out there-- that would clearly address the issue it is a plus. When it is in the brochure it is out there in plain language that anyone can understand and now it becomes accessible. Bowers will do some follow up. UI Center for Human Rights Ghoneim attended a workshop sponsored by the Center on 03/07/14. Commissioners Ghoneim will be a presenter in two upcoming University events in April. Olmstead was recently appointed Vice Chair on the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights Board. Coulter will be a presenter at Building An Inclusive Community One Neighborhood At A Time Seminar on April 23rd in Cedar Rapids. Staff Bowers mentioned the official Council policy regarding abstentions in voting that could be instituted to apply to all Boards and Commissions. Bowers noted that abstentions should only be used when a Commissioner has a conflict. The conflict should be stated as the reason for the abstention when voting. Motion to Adjourn: Townsend moves to adjourn, Hanrahan seconds. Motion passed 5— 0. Adjournment: 19:15 Next Regular Meeting — April 15, 2014 at 6 pm.

Rackis Page 2 Iowa City Housing Authority The Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA): A division of the City of Iowa City, administers and manages federally funded Section 8 and Public Housing programs. The ICHA covers an area which encompasses Johnson County and half of Iowa and Washington counties. Funding is provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Devel- opment (HUD). Established in 1969, the ICHA serves over 1,200 families a year. Participants qualify based on income guidelines. Of the program participants, approximately 50% are disabled or elderly. The ICHA has managed Public Housing units since 1981. Section 8 The Section 8 program provides long-term rental assistance. Under this program, assistance follows the client to any eli- gible rental unit; however, clients are responsible for fording their own rental unit. Section 8 does not offer immediate as- sistance. For immediate housing contact the Shelter House at 319-351-0326. Public Housing (effective September, 2011) Under Public Housing, assistance is unit specific. The City of Iowa City owns 81 public housing units; the ICHA serves as the landlord. CHANGE OF ADDRESS It is essential that the ICHA is notified in writing of any change of address. Names will be removed from the waiting list if any correspondence is returned. Page 3 Iowa City Housing Authority CATEGORIES (Adopted June 19, 2012) The Housing Authority may admit an applicant for participa- tion in the program either as a special admission or as a wait- ing list admission. All applications will be maintained in the following order of preference and then in order of date and time of application. The Iowa City Housing Authority will select families based on the following preference **: A. Displaced: Individuals or families displaced by gov- ernment action or whose dwelling has been exten- sively damaged or destroyed as a result of a disaster declared or otherwise formally recognized pursuant to federal disaster relief laws.

If HOME Investment Funds received from the State of Iowa and City of Iowa City to provide Tenant -Based - Rental -Assistance are depleted, participating families will be admitted into the HCV program. NOTE: The use of a residency preference will not have the pur- pose or effect of delaying or otherwise denying admission to the HCV program based on the race, color, ethnic origin, gender, reli- gion, disability, or age of any member of an applicant family.

The ICHA will verify all information and conduct a criminal background check. This process takes approximately 30 to 180 days. Once a family is deemed eligible, they must attend a briefing (orientation) session. Applications are available at the ICHA. Public Housing applicants must also supply housing references. HOW MUCH WILL I PAY? If qualified for rental assistance, clients generally pay 30% of their adjusted monthly income for their portion of the rent. Monthly incomes are adjusted if specific deductions apply: this could include elderly, disability, child, childcare or med- ical deductions. Minimum rent is $50. At the initial lease - up or any move once on the program, a client is not allowed to pay more than 40% of their monthly adjusted income to- wards their rent. The ICHA cannot pay rental assistance un- til a client's unit passes inspection and they reside in the unit. INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS NEEDED All applicants must provide the following information or documentation for all household members: • Income and assets • State -certified birth certificates • Social Security cards • Declaration of Citizenship • Photo ID (if over 18 years old.) for identification only. Page 8 Iowa City Housing Authority If applicable, clients must also provide: Disability or Handicap information Marriage certificate or Domestic Partnership certifi- cate Divorce decree WHERE PARTICIPANTS MAY LIVE The ICHA's jurisdiction covers Johnson County and parts of Iowa and Washington counties. Within these areas, clients may live in any unit that meets the following criteria: • The landlord participates in the Section 8 program • The unit passes inspection. • The unit complies with program bedroom size guide- lines • The unit's rent is such that the client does not pay more than 40% of their monthly adjusted income to- wards rent. PORTABILITY Section 8 assistance can be transferred to another location. To transfer your Section 8 assistance to another city, you must have been on the ICHA's program for one year, or you must have proof that your legal residence at the time you ap- plied for Section 8 assistance was within the ICHA's juris- diction. Page 9 Iowa City Housing Authority FAMILY SELF-SUFFICIENCY PROGRAM (FSS): FSS is a voluntary program open to all families receiving Section 8 or Public Housing assistance through the ICHA. This program is designed to help families become self - supportive and to move off of public assistance. When a cli- ent's portion of the rent goes up due to an increase in earned income, HUD matches the amount of the increase and the ICHA places it in an escrow savings account. When the cli- ent meets specific goals, the client receives the accumulated funds with interest. Goals must be met within five years or less. HCV HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM: The HCV Homeownership program permits eligible partici- pants in the HCV Program, including participants with porta- ble vouchers, the option of purchasing a home with their HCV assistance rather than renting. Eligible participants for the HCV Homeownership Program must have completed at minimum a one-year lease term with HCV rental assistance. HCV homeownership assistance payments may be used to purchase new or existing single-family units, condominiums, cooperatives, lofts, and, or manufactured units within John- son County: AFFORDABLE DREAM HOME OWNERSHIP PROGRAM (ADHOP): The Affordable Dream Home Ownership Program operated, managed and funded solely by the ICHA. It offers an oppor- tunity for income eligible families to purchase newly con- structed or newer homes. Page 10 Iowa City Housing Authority OTHER FEDERAL PROGRAMS HUD also provides Section 8 funds to some privately owned apartment complexes: Pheasant Ridge, USDA Rural Devel- opment (formerly Farmers Home Administration), and some elderly complexes. For more information about any of these developments a person must contact them directly. The ICHA does not maintain, manage, or administer these prop- erties. TERMINATION OF ASSISTANCE DUE TO CRIMI- NAL ACTIVITY (24 CFR 982.553 & 982.555): The ICHA may terminate assistance for criminal activity by a household member as authorized in HUD regulations if the ICHA determines, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that the household member has engaged in the activity, re- gardless of whether the household member has been charged, arrested or convicted for such activity. The ICHA must give a participant family an opportunity for an informal hearing to consider whether the termination de- cision due to criminal activity is in accordance with the law, HUD regulations and ICHA policies. Evidence may be con- sidered without regard to admissibility under the rules of evi- dence applicable to judicial proceedings. The Iowa City Housing Authority Informal Hearing proce- dures are in the HCV Administrative Plan: Section 15.4 C. Hearing Procedures, Page 71.
