Neighborhood revitalization programs will continue through upgrading of the housing stack (minimum housing code enforcement, housing rehabilitation), decreasing deterioration and blight due to flooding (Ralston Creek flood control) and encouraging energy conservation (heat loss identification, housing rehabilitation and winterization). Renovation of the old post office as a Senior Center will be continued, as well as planning for programs and services for the elderly community of Iowa City.

COMMUNITY PROFILE Iowa City is a midwestern community with a population totalling 47,744. The community was originally platted in 1839 and it is therefore not surprising that 40% of the existing housing stock was built prior to 1940. The chief natural feature of the City is the Iowa River which meanders through the City and is fed by numerous creeks. As development has increased, runoff into'these creeks has become an ever greater problem, and the periodic flooding of Ralston Creek in particular demands community development attention. Another dominant feature of Iowa City is the University of Iowa which, with its current enrollment of 22,990 students, strongly - influences the character of the community. These statements provide a general overview of Iowa City's profile. A more detailed description of population and income characteristics, as well as economic and housing conditions, are presented below. POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS 1. Population Growth - The community's population has increased 497.7 percent since 1900, compared to the national population percentage change of 178.0 percent. The University's growth has had a major impact, for example between 1960 and 1970 enrollment doubled. The affect of this fast papulation growth was vividly felt when the demand for housing exceeded the supply. 2. Population Age - The 1974 Census reported age distribution as _J follows: children aged 0-14, 17.7 percent; young adults and students aged 15-34, 58.0 percent; middle-aged adults aged 35- 64, 17.9 percent; and senior citizens aged 65 and over, 6.3 percent. 3. Population Mobility - High .,mobility is a predominant characteristic of Iowa City. In 1970, only 27 percent of the - population five years or older were residing in the same house as in 1965. During that same period 63 percent of the population migrated into or out of -the city. 4. Minorities - Consistent with state-wide population patterns, the *minority population in Iowa City is small. In 1970, only 2.2 percent of the population were classified as other than White. The Black population is the largest minority group in the city and has been growing steadily since 1940. In 1974, 56 percent of the Black population (388) were University students. y 5. Special Population Groups - Because of the unique services available in Iowa City, many groups of individuals with special W MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEnAR RAP IDS- DEs IIo IREs needs have located here. An above-average number of handicapped individuals reside in the city, because of available education and health resources, i.e. 15 percent of the city population versus 13.8 percent in the state. An above- average number of transients, including those drawn to Iowa City for welfare health care, require temporary accommodations. A relatively low proportion of Iowa City population is married, and an increased number of female -headed households exist, i.e. 7.9 percent in the city versus 7.3 percent in the state. INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT CHARACTERISTICS The Iowa City median income ($9,942) was higher in 1970 than the state median family income ($9,018). However, when compared to other cities in Iowa having populations over 10,000, Iowa City's median family income was among the lowest. Among the 9,674 Iowa City families counted in 1970, 692 families (7.2 percent) representing a total of 2,091 persons were considered as having an income below the poverty level. They included 116 families headed by a woman and 101 by a person 65 years old or older. Between 1950 and 1970, the number of families in the lower income groups decreased substantially, while there were very large increases in the higher income groups. In 1970, a large portion, 53.6 percent, of the Iowa City labor force was employed in "white collar" jobs. (This was considerably higher than the national average of 48.3 percent). Although women represented 69 percent of the white collar workers, only 38.5 percent of the professional, technical and managerial workers were women; 68.7 percent of the clerical and sales work workers were women. An example of the higher than average number of professionals in the community can be seen when realizing that 690 medical doctors and 72 dentists reside in the community. 10 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS-DLs MDIJIES IOWA CITY FAMILY INCOME 1970 INCOME RANGE NUMBER FAMILIES.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS There are two major topics that must be considered when reviewing the economic condition of the city. First, the job market and rate of unemployment and secondly, the city's need to levy taxes in order to supply demanded services must be considered. The table below indicates the total labor force in Iowa increased almost 100% between 1950 and 1970 with some variation in job opportunities. Figures are approximate based on U.S. Census of population 1970. One characteristic of Iowa City's economy is that both production J wages and payroll/employees tend to be lower than the state average because of its highly productive, over -qualified, labor supply, and the imbalance of available jobs. Unemployment in Iowa City has remained generally low compared to na- tional figures, however there has been a gradual increase in unem- ployment from 1.2% in 1950 to 1.7% in 1960 and 2.8% in 1970. Because of the dominance of the University of Iowa both as an w employer and as the owner of a large percentage of City property (50% of Iowa City land is tax-free property), Iowa City must levy high property taxes in order to supply quality services demanded by citizens. Iowa City property owners therefore bear a high tax burden ^� since these tax dollars must pay for services for the whole city. HOUSING CONDITIONS The Iowa City housing market is characterized by very low (1 percent in 1975) vacancy rates for rental housing; relatively high housing costs; single family dwellings which have been converted into multi - MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110Itirs LABOR FORCE AND EMPLOYMENT Total Manufac- Wholesale/ Professional Labor Force turing Retail Related Services I.C. 1950 10,960 4.5% 21% 43% I.C. 1960 14,490 7% 15.5% 52% I.C. 1970 20,620 6.5% 19% 55% U.S. 1970 80,051,046 25.9% 20.1% 42%% One characteristic of Iowa City's economy is that both production J wages and payroll/employees tend to be lower than the state average because of its highly productive, over -qualified, labor supply, and the imbalance of available jobs.

According to the 1970 U.S. Bureau of Census figures, 54 percent of approximately 15,500 of Iowa City housing units were renter -occupied and new construction had not kept pace with the population growth. Since 1970, permits have been issued for 2,135 multi -family units, 220 duplexes, and 1,625 single family units. This increase in the amount of housing has been partially offset by the demolitions due to urban renewal, construction of the new post office, and removal of the University's Stadium Park and Templin Park housing. A 1975 survey showed 1,282 (8 percent) housing units in Johnson County were overcrowded (using HUD standard 1.01 persons per room). In addition a high percentage had code violations with 1,088 (7%) lacking some or all plumbing facilities. (Iowa City has approximately 65% of the population of Johnson County). An Exterior Building Condition Survey (August 1977) of most of the older portions of the City indicated that 65% of the structures were in sound condition, 31% have minor deficiencies, 3.8% have major deficiencies and 0.16% should be demolished. Because of diverse housing priorities (for example some University professors seek out historically prominent structures in older neighborhoods for housing) few blighted neighborhoods have developed. Instead there are spots of blight and deterioration scattered throughout the City. The periodic flooding of Ralston Creek and sewer surcharging have r caused deterioration of some neighborhoods along the creek. Many large older houses have been subdivided to provide apartment units close to the University. This provides much needed rental housing but does create some problems in maintenance of the housing stock. Absentee landlords permit some structures to deteriorate, and renters in general do not have the commitment to upkeep of the neighborhood common to families in owner -occupied single family dwellings.

Some of the neighborhoods are deteriorated, others are showing a steady decline. The housing stock is mixed with considerable disinvestment in structures by absentee landlords; and there are problems caused by creek flooding. Economically the City is overdependent on the University of Iowa for employment opportunities and has a very low property tax base because a large porportion of the land is tax-exempt. i A. NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION NEEDS The oldest, central portion of Iowa City (as outlined in the CDBG Project Area map, page 58) includes the area of the City most in need of revitalization. The downtown initially j was identified for redevelopment, and this need has been largely met (Urban Renewal Project Iowa R-14). The rest of the Ij designated CDBG area consists of residential neighborhoods with a mixture of old and new housing. Almost all of Iowa City's 19th century houses are in this area, with most other single family homes dating back to before 1940. As the University of Iowa has expanded, some of these neighborhoods have changed to i accomodate student demand for housing, particularly close to the University. Neighborhood Decline ., Because of a change in the character of these neighborhoods there has been considerable decline. Absentee landlords and a very rapid turnover of student renters have resulted in deterioration of houses and yards. An increase in the number of cars has created traffic and parking problems, and the rapid turnover of residents has made for an unstable community. Flooding s An added problem in much of the area is the flooding threat from Ralston Creek. Three serious floods in the past eighteen years have caused substantial property damage and contributed to the -� blight of some neighborhoods. Housing Whereas housing studies indicate considerable deterioration, housing in most of the area can still be rehabilitated. It should be noted, however, that as older homes change ownership, perceptive developers have assembled parcels to build demanded centrally located apartments thus further altering the character of the neighborhood. 13 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101HCS Rehabilitation and Site Improvements Because the CDBG program area is the home of the majority of Iowa City's population of low and moderate income residents, and because many property owners do not have the financial means to rehabilitate their homes, there is a need for both technical and financial assistance to preserve the existing housing stock, upgrade deficient housing units before they become unsalvageable and prevent further expansion of deteriorated areas. In addition, in order to maintain a viable residential environment, it is necessary to upgrade and revitalize some neighborhoods through site improvements. Such improvements would help to arrest and reverse the incipient decline, as well as provide incentives for private investment in the neighborhoods. Public investment in facilities such as sidewalks, streets, alleys and neighborhood parks is needed to improve substandard conditions and to enhance the neighborhood environment. Such improvement in turn will make the neighborhoods attractive to home owners with families whose presence is important to the vitality and stability of the area. Acquisition/Rehabilitation for Additional Services There is also a need to rehabilitate housing in the CDBG area, where the present owners are unable or unwilling to do so. The City can preserve these structures with public intervention and acquisition. After rehabilitation, the houses can be used to address other pressing human needs in the City such as providing shelters for victims of spouse abuse or providing structures to be rented in the Section 8 Existing Program. Comprehensive Target Neighborhood Improvement In a few areas of Iowa City, a comprehensive strategy of I improvements is needed to promote stabilization. One such area is the one located along the lower reaches of Ralston Creek. Because of periodic flooding, tenure in the neighborhood is characterized by small businesses which regularly change use (one building housed a Chinese food store, fast food restaurant, and insurance office at various times from 1976- 1978) and miscellaneous remaining housing accomodating low income residents. The flooding problems of Ralston Creek are too complex and costly for the private market to overcome alone. A comprehensive strategy and public assistance are needed. Energy Conservation The current situation of dwindling of fossil fuel supplies and the rising cost of fuel is a national problem which is likely to become more severe over the next decade. The impact of this 14 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RANDS•DES 1101RE5 I problem is particularly severe upon low and moderate income families and those with fixed incomes, who are forced to spend an increasing amount of their family budget for heating, and to a lesser extent cooling. Although individuals are anxious to conserve energy, they often do not have the accurate information on the most effective means of insulating and weatherproofing their houses. Thus, there is a need for a program of heat loss identification for homes and the dispersal of information on energy conservation. 15 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MO RIES COMMUNITY -WIDE HOUSING NEEDS Need for new Construction During the last 15 years, University growth and the growth in general population have had a direct impact on the availability of suitable housing units in Iowa City. Precise statistics are ~ scarce, however, there is evidence that the private market has not been able to keep pace with the demand for housing in Iowa City. In 1974, vacancy rates were as low as 2.18 percent including rental and owner -occupied housing and in 1975 the rental vacancy rate alone was 0.98 percent. The problems generated by such a tight market are many -- overcrowding, substandard conditions, housing deterioration, rapid conversion to multi -family units, and overpayment (paying more than 25 percent of household income for rent). A very low vacancy rate points specifically to a need for increasing the supply of housing through new construction. HUD has estimated that 1,000 " or more new units in Iowa City would be necessary in order to balance supply and demand. Need for Upgrading Existing Stock In view of the high cost of new housing and the relative lack of vacant developable land, preservation of the existing housing stock increases in importance. Most housing in Iowa City was built before 1940. A 1977 survey of exterior housing conditions conducted in the central portion of Iowa City showed 32 percent to be structurally deficient. Continual flooding of Ralston Creek has aggravated deteriorating housing conditions and the . high cost of repairs presents many owner -occupants and small property landlords from making repairs despite the need for upgrading existing structures, both rental and owner -occupied. Need for Housing Subsidies According to 1970 Census data, roughly 35 percent of the households in Iowa City had inadequate housing conditions as specified by HUD (overcrowding, overpaying, or lack of plumbing). Eighty-five percent of these were also lower income households. Although housing conditions have improved since 1970, substantial problems still exist. One thousand, three hundred lower income renter households currently require housing assistance. This represents 76 percent of all of the need in the renter household category. While the needs of " homeowners for housing assistance are less, they are concentrated among elderly households who are living on fixed incomes. Thus rental subsidies and construction subsidies are required to provide suitable housing for lower income households. 16 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DFS MOINES Need to Plan for Housing Development Changing land uses, Ralston Creek flooding, housing conversions and the increase in density experienced in some neighborhoods are factors which have generated pockets of substandard housing within neighborhoods. For instance, in the "Armory Neighborhood" area, commercial uses have increased over the last ten years. Some families cannot afford to move from the area, yet because of periodic flooding there are few incentives for owners to maintain or improve their properties. In addition to providing housing units, there is a need to plan on a long- term basis for housing development and efficient utilization of community facilities. Analysis of adequate areas for housing development is essential to create stable neighborhoods and to minimize..housing loss through negative impacts of mixed.uses. Need to Coordinate with other Communities and Agencies Iowa City is the largest city in the county, however, it functions as part of a larger urban area. There is a need to coordinate housing planning efforts with surrounding - communities and area -wide planning agencies in order to provide better housing throughout the area. Due to local market conditions, programs for perspective lower income homeowners j are difficult to implement in Iowa City. The options for addressing this problem are greater in smaller:. communities which, qualify for FmHA programs. Likewise, Iowa City has management capabilities for existing housing programs and expertise in housing rehabilitation programs which it shares with other communities and county staff. In order to provide a high level of housing assistance in the area and to address interjurisdictional housing problems, there is a need to coordinate resources with other communities. Need to Monitor Impacts of Program Development In addition to planning for city-wide housing development, there is a need to monitor the effectiveness of ongoing housing programs to prevent impaction of lower income households and unfair housing practices, and to ensure increased choice of housing opportunities for lower income households. 17 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -r)[5 Mo1NEs r.

COMMUNITY NEEDS FOR PUBLIC`FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS Citizen surveys carried out in connection with the City's S Comprehensive Plan indicated that meeting the needs of the elderly is one of the major concerns of citizens. s Services and programs for the elderly are currently physically ^ at scattered locations throughout Iowa City. Some types of services are provided only by one agency, others are duplicated between agencies. Funding for agencies is limited and variable, and many needs of the elderly are not being met or being met inadequately. F i The building currently housing some of the services for the elderly (SEATS, Meals on Wheels, Council on Aging, Johnson County Health Department) is structurally substandard and 18 poorly located. A centrally located building which can house a I majority of the services for the elderly has been acquired; the building now needs to be remodeled to serve the elderly. In addition a coordinated program involving the elderly and fservice providers needs to be established to insure the best possible planning for space allocation and programs to be j l carried out in the Senior Center. r.

Iowa City's tax base is heavily weighted toward residential lots and buildings. Almost 70% of the total taxable values are residential (as compared to 55% for Cedar Rapids, a neighboring city) with approximately 23% property tax income from mercantile. lots and buildings and 8% from industrial and manufacturing lots and buildings. This places a heavy tax load on the Iowa City property owners. In addition, approximately 50% of Iowa City land is tax-exempt (mostly state owned) which means that the rest of the land must provide most of the City's revenues. An economic development program to increase the City's industrial and commercial tax base is therefore needed. Until now the rapid expansion of the University of Iowa has provided much of the economic growth of the City, largely through professional and related jobs. Now that University growth has stabilized and a possible decline in enrollment is Projected, an economic development program is also essential to insure adequate job opportunities in Iowa City.

GENERAL In this the fifth and last year of Iowa City's hold harmless COBG funding, the development fi will continue to ad- dress thebasareasof need identified anzed throughout the program as follows: Prioritized 1• Neighborhood improvement programs have been the focus of a major portion of the City's commmunity development strategy. In 1977 the City Council designated the central portion A Area a5Cit City the CO8G Neighborhood Improvement Project ( residences for a large P. 58)' This area provides moderate income g Proportion of the City's low and Persons and, because of age and use the neighborhood has many community development needs (See "Needs" Section of this proposal.). The major objectives to be accomplished in this area are: the elimination of slums and blight, prevention deterioration (particularly of further through flooding), conservation and upgrading of the housing stock, upgrading and revitalization through siteimprovements, and elimination of conditions detrimental t0 the health, safety and welfare of the citizens. 2. The needs of elderly and handicapped citizens were given high priority by both citizens and the City Council. An architectural barrier removal program has been carried out during the past three years and a Senior Center has been acquired and will be rehabilitated and programmed to coordinate services and opportunities for the elderly in Iowa City. A Comprehensive Plan for Iowa City was prepared with COBG funding during the past three years and was adopted by the Iowa City Council in May .1978. Further research and Planning are necessary for implementing the Comprehensive Plan and are important for future decisions in the development and redevelopment of neighborhoods. Such activities include detailed area plans for three Council delineated older neighborhoods, and development of a new subdivision ordinance. ZO MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDs•DEs 1401BCS B. NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION STRATEGY NEIGHBORHOOD STRATEGY AREA In 1977 the City Council designated the central portion of Iowa City as the CDBG Neighborhood Improvement Project Area (see map P•58 )• During the past three years the following programs have been carried out in this area: housing rehabilitation, mininum housing code enforcement, neighborhood site improvement, Ralston Creek flood control, architectural barrier removal, energy conservation through heat loss reduction in homes and downtown redevelopment. Some of these programs will continue during the fifth year of CDBG funding, hopefully concurrently with CDBG funding through the Small Cities Program. Other projects will be essentially completed by FY80 (neighborhood site improvements, architectural barrier removal and downtown redevelopment). In order to continue the process of revitalizing the CDBG project area, ensuring the conservation of housing stock and assisting low and moderate income persons to reduce heat loss from their homes, the following programs will be continued in FY80: minimum housing code enforcement, housing rehabilitation, energy conservation, and Ralston Creek flood control. In addition, a small portion of the CDBG project area is being targeted for intensive improvements under the Small Cities Program. This area known as the lower Ralston Creek neighborhood is one of the most seriously blighted areas in the City. Most of the area lies in the flood plain of Ralston Creek and much of the deterioration of structures in the area is due to the frequent flooding of the creek. For this reason improvements in the area have not been undertaken to date. With Ralston Creek improvements upstream now underway (CDBG program 1976-1980) a concerted effort in this downstream area becomes feasible. a, b PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS MINIMUM HOUSING CODE ENFORCEMENT The continuing goal of this program is to monitor the physical quality of housing units within the central corridor of the City to insure that the accomodations are maintained in a safe and sanitary condition in accordance with all the applicable codes and ordinances. ProQT Objectives: The established program objectives in the Housing Code Enforcement Program are as follows: 1. To systematically inspect each renter -occupied dwelling unit within the project area for violations of the Housing Occupancy and Maintenance Code. 21 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAN DS•DES MDIIILS 2. To inspect owner -occupied single family dwelling units on a complaint basis, by request or when the exterior shows ^ evidence of extensive deterioration or neglect. 3. To establish and maintain an inventory of all structures residential units. _ within the project areas containing Records shall include microfilm and computer files as well as paper file systems. 4. To review codes and ordinances regularly amending portions as appropriate or necessary. " 5. To review office procedures and time management procedures is ^ regularly to insure field travel time minimized, inspections are completed efficiently, reports are written „ comprehensively and compliance is actively pursued. 6. To continue to strive for public awareness and acceptance of the Housing Inspection Program by utilizing and media formats to help publications, speakers, workshops in the educational process. 7. To continue to develop staff professionalism and competence by annual in-service training programs. Short Term Objectives: 1. To inspect 1100 structures in the CDBG area. 2. To continue dissemination of Housing Code information to the public. 3. To enforce code compliance for all structures inspected within subsequent twelve-month period. 4. To respond to all citizen complaints of alleged code violations located in the project area within 24 hours. 5. To issue rental permits to all multiple dwellings (three houses complying with existing units or more) and rooming codes and ordinances. The Minimum Housing Code Enforcement Program is closely allied inform with the program for housing rehabilitation. Inspectors loans and also homeowners about rehabilitation grants and provide the director of the rehabilitation program with relevant „ i information. HOUSING REHABILITATION - Emergency Repair and Home Winterization Grant Program: _ The goal of, this program is to provide maximum service, both to larger number of residents than technical and financial, a permitted in a conventional rehabilitation program. A further _ 22 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110IRE5 goal is to complete cases in a timely manner, so that upon completion of FY80, there will be no carry over cases. By assisting low income homeowners to correct deficiencies to the structural and/or mechanical systems in their homes, we anticipate alleviating the major cause of anxiety on the part of low-income home owners who find themselves confronted with costly roof repairs, electrical repairs or deteriorating furnaces. Community feedback indicates that many home owners eligible , for'-CDBG assistance neither desire nor require extensive rehabilitation assistance,. but rather need some help in correcting deficiencies that demand revenues beyond their limited budgets. In addition, a strong intent is to provide energy conservation in the form of winterization programs - a frequent request by elderly home owners, to help them cope with ever -rising energy costs. A major long-term goal is to allow an _ elderly homeowner to remain in their home, where they are comfortable, for as long as they desire. Program Objectives: 1. To offer technical and financial assistance in the form of grants up to $4,000 for emergency repair to the basic j systems of structures, e.g. furnace repairs, plumbing repairs, electrical repairs or replacements. 2. To coordinate information from the Johnson County Social Services Department, the Council on Aging, Housing Inspectors and others in identifying low income homeowners in need of assistance. I 3. To provide home winterization grants to owners of single family homes, who are 60 years or older, and/or have a low or moderate income, and/or are disabled. Short Term Objectives: To make emergency repairs and/or winterize approximately 25 structures. Winterization will include installation of storm windows, caulking of openings, and increasing wall insulation to R-19 and ceiling insulation to R-22 thermal values. y The emergency repair and winterization program is closely coordinated with Code Enforcement, the Heat Loss Identification ! Program, and a variety of City and County programs for the i elderly. ENERGY CONSERVATION: The long term goal of the Energy Conservation Program is to improve the efficiency of energy usage in Iowa City through energy monitoring and insulation programs. Data collected will indicate overall program effectiveness and will serve to identify areas needing action, and will aid in decision making i 23 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES NOIRES re energy nservation concerning not type of future project ect where energy suset is sa concerning any typ P j significant factor. Program Objectives 1. To provide homeowners with specific information regarding the quality of insulation and weather sealing for the outside walls of their houses by an initial exterior scan of the property, followed by a full interior scan if requested by the homeowners in the CDBG project area. 2. To provide homeowners in the project area with photographic information from an exterior scan. The scanning is done from late October until March, weather permitting, and it is expected to take approximately five years to scan every structure in the CDBG Program Area. While the service is available outside of the CDBG Program Area for a fee, the priority is on scanning the homes within the CDBG Program Area. 3. To provide homeowners in the project area with information on the Housing Rehabilitation Winterization Program and energy conservation. 4. To monitor energy usage of the various sectors of Iowa City to provide accurate data for future policy and decision making. Short-term Oba_ecti_ves: 1. To carry out initial heat loss scans with the thermography instrument on 600 structures. 2. To carry out full scale building scans on structures as requested by homeowners. 3. To collect and analyze the energy data derived from the utility records of the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors and from the fuel tax records for the transportation sector and to report it quarterly to the Resources Conservation Commission for use in spotting trends and designing future energy conservation projects. 4. To record energy use for those homes winterized under the Housing or trofitted with a solar collector, before atand afteion srenergy conservation measures are installed. The heat loss identification program is closely linked with the Housing Rehabilitation Winterization Program by providing information on homes requiring insulation. 24 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES Ito RIFs RALSTON CREEK FLOOD CONTROL The continuing goal of this project is to control the volume of water flowing into Iowa City via the north branch of Ralston Creek, by the construction of a dry -bottom dam, storm water detention facility in Hickory Hill Park. Program Objectives: 1. To reduce peak flood flows in the 100 year storm frequency from 3000 cubic feet/second to 500 cubic feet/second directly below the dam. 2. To provide storage for flood waters which will reduce flood s flows in the neighborhood improvement project area from approximately 6600 cubic feet per second (assuming continued development of the upper watershed) to approximately 1400 cubic feet per second. Short-term Objectives: I — { 1. To complete the preparation of engineering plans and specifications for construction of the dams. t 2. To acquire property and easements necessary for the J construction of the dam. 25 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 3. To construct the dam. This continuing program to control the flooding of Ralston Creek will benefit the neighborhood in the CDBG project area by preventing continued deterioration and blight due to flooding. f Once flooding is controlled, houses in the former flood plain can 3 be rehabilitated. i ti. The City's preapplication for a Small Cities Program grant to be used for improvements to the channel of the lower Ralston Creek reaches is closely coordinated with the overall management plan for the Ralston Creek Watershed. AREA PLANNING AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE f The overall goal of this program is to enhance the City's ability to manage development and redevelopment, therefore minimizing opportunity for neighborhood deterioration and blighted conditions. This development management capacity is necessary to maximize the benefits from the City's investment in the Comprehensive Plan. Area plans and a subdivision ordinance will enable more efficient provision of public services and facilities, stronger land use management capability, identification of needed — regulations, and identification of strategies for solving specific neighborhood problems. 25 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Program Objectives: 1. To prepare plans which identify existing and projected — deficiencies in three Council delineated neighborhoods. These plans will provide a reliable information base on which the City Council can make sound policy decisions — regarding each neighborhood's development and redevelopment. 2. To prepare a new subdivision ordinance in order to strengthen the City Council's development management capacity and to efficiently implement the provisions of the _ Comprehensive Plan, and to provide for timely provision of municipal facilities such as streets, sewers, and water. Short Term Objectives: 1. To collect and evaluate data identifying key problems and characteristics for'three neighborhoods. _ 2. To provide detailed area plans with alternatives for ameliorating traffic and other problems, and recommendations for development and redevelopmemt of three neighborhoods. 3. To prepare a new subdivision ordinance which will include provisions for limited access along arterial streets, design of lots in sensitive land areas, spatial distribution of housing (and commercial and industrial) developments, the proper orientation of housing, the design of streets and other infrastructure requirements. -• The area plans and new subdivision ordinance will effectively assist implementation of the Comprehensive Plan by providing more detailed information and the necessary tools. Such plans are also closely linked to the overall Community Development strategy of Iowa City and the plans for improvements in the ' Armory neighborhood under the Small Cities Program. DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The continuing goal of this program is the completion of all downtown redevelopment activities begun as part of the Urban Renewal Project Iowa R-14. _ Program Objectives: To complete all downtown redevelopment activities in accordance with the Urban Renewal Plan and the closeout agreement. 26 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIo1nES - 27 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDs•Drs MDuIEs i Short-term Objectives: 1. To complete the sale of one remaining disposition parcel. 2. To monitor the design and construction of two municipal parking structures. 3. To continue design review procedures for private redevelopment projects. 4. To monitor the Streetscape Improvements Program which - includes construction of streets and amenities in the 6 block Central Business District core area. 5. To settle all pending acquisition appeals. GENERAL PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION The goal of the CDBG program administration is to manage the f planning, program development, and program implementation of s CDBG activities, insuring that they comply with state, federal and local regulations, monitoring them so that they are completed in a satisfactory manner within an acceptable time span, and coordinating them so that activities are not dupli+dted and the end result provides comprehensive improvement in the designated target areas of Iowa City. Program Objectives: 1. To meet the goals, objectives and performance standards for each Community Development Plan project, through sound program administration and management. x 2. To provide an organized process through which citizens have the opportunity to be involved in defining projects, their scope, funding and performance evaluation. ~ Short-term Objectives: y 1. To administer the close-out of all CDBG projects by July 1980. 2. To ensure adequate staffing of all implemented programs and ! review performance regularly. 3. To continue regular monthly meetings of the Committee on Community Needs to review ongoing projects and receive and provide citizen input to the Community Development Program. J 4. To continue neighborhood meetings and meetings of the Ralston Creek Coordinating Committee to ensure active involvement of citizens in neighborhood revitalization and Ralston Creek improvements. - 27 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDs•Drs MDuIEs d.

ANTICIPATED RESOURCES. CDBG Entitlement Funds $671,000 Sale of CDBG Acquired Urban Renewal Property $264,500 g• THE ROLE OF NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS. Committee on Community Needs. The Committee on Community Needs (CCN) is a group of 15 Iowa City residents, representing a cross-section of citizen interests, backgrounds and socio-economic levels. The Committee is appointed by the City Council to gather citizen comments about on-going and proposed community development programs and to make recommendations to the Council about these programs. The Committee holds regular monthly meetings and monitors individual programs. Each Committee member is assigned to one or more projects for detailed monthly review and input. For example, a Committee member residing on the north side of town will talk to his/her neighbors about the housing rehabilitation and site improvement programs, attend neighborhood meetings and be a general liaison between residents of the neighborhood, CCN, City Council and the City staff. CCN also plays an important role in presenting the CDBG program to citizens through radio shows and spot ads, newspaper articles and slide shows. The Committee held two public meetings to solicit comments and ideas regarding community development projects to be included in the 5th year CDBG application, At a further public meeting citizens commented on priorities among the 21 projects proposed. CCN then made a final recommendation to the City Council. - Ralston Creek Coordinating Committee. In 1975, when CDBG funds became available, residents of the Ralston Creek neighborhoods organized to assure that watershed management projects would be planned and implemented withCDBG funds. The Committee has met regularly during the past four Years and been actively involved in every phase of the program from hiring a consultant, through review of the Watershed Management Plan and implementation of interim projects, and the initial phases detention basins on the e e orthand nsouth tbranches ion of sof Ralston ~ Creek. The Committee is also involved in the proposed Small Cities comprehensive grant application for the lower Ralston Creek area which includes Ralston Creek channel improvements. _ Neighborhood Groups for Site Improvements. Residents of five neighborhoods eligible for site improvement programs have played an active part in these projects. In each 30 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110111ES of five neighborhoods, residents organized, and selected the improvements to be carried out, and spent many hours helping to plan and implement the improvements themselves, for example by the construction and planting of a mini -park in one neighborhood. Neighborhood residents will continue to be involved in all neighborhood revitalization programs. h. SUPPORT OF NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION STRATEGY BY HAP. The housing assistance goals, and general locations for implementing the goals, support the neighborhood revitalization strategy in a variety of significant ways. In the past, a CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation program has been operating throughout the Neighborhood Improvement Project Area. The program will be continued as an important element in the strategy to conserve housing stock, and the HAP goals further propose to complement this effort through 312 loan assistance for lower income homeowners. Assistance for rehabilitation of rental properties will be pursued through the Traditional Public Housing and Section 8 existing programs. The proposed goal for rental rehabilitation will help to arrest a trend toward conversion and deterioration of older large single family rental properties in the CDBG project area, thereby increasing the supply of standard housing for lower income families. Goals for new construction of rental units are likewise a part of the overall revitalization strategy. Inadequate housing which is planned to be removed from the creek flood plain through the Small Cities Project will be replaced by new construction on the periphery of the project area. The general approach to providing housing assistance is compati- ble with and supportive of the goals of the neighborhood re- vitalization strategy. Current and proposed subsidized housing units are scattered throughout the City in order to prevent "low - income ghettos", to remove lower income families from hopelessly blighted areas, and to provide mixed income. -neighborhood environments. Past HAP goals were addressed primarily to the acute needs of the elderly and handicapped population. As a result, barrier -free housing for the handicapped is now being developed, one elderly housing complex is under construction, and an additional elderly housing complex will be built in conjunction with the Senior Center. A majority of the new construction goals for the next three years are directed toward families, however, the remaining needs in the elderly and handicapped category will be addressed. In fact, minimum goals were raised to allow increased housing _ rehabilitation for elderly residents who wish to remain in their homes. 31 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RANDS -DES 110111Es COMMUNITYWIDE HOUSING STRATEGY To addressuag ntity shortage. Land suitable for development is relatively scarce. Iowa City will be providing new sewage treatment facilities to correct a system deficiency. This will allow additional development to - take place on the southeast side. In addition, proposed changes in the Zoning Ordinance based on the new Comprehensive Plan will allow higher density development in some areas of the City. It has been a policy of the City to encourage subdivision development within certain guidelines and to assist developers in processing their development plans. Assisted housing programs serve both homeowner and renter needs with new construction. Methods of providing a successful 235 program for low and moderate income prospective homeowners will be thoroughly investigated and assisted new construction for rental housing will be initiated. During the next year, applications will be made for 30 units of Section -8 new construction or Traditional Public Housing. To address qualit maintenance. Code enforcement and housing rehabilitation programs currently operating will be modified, but continued next year, supplemented by a proposed Traditional Public Housing ! acquisition and rehabilitation program for rental housing. In i the past, rehabilitation has been primarily directed to owner - occupied housing and has been confined to areas within the CDBG Neighborhood Improvement area. The CDBG Systematic Minimum Housing Code Enforcement program, directed to rental housing, operates within the CDBG boundaries while City -funded code i enforcement activity takes place outside the CDBG area. Ongoing City -funded activities will continue as a City-wide housing maintenance program after termination of the CDBG Systematic Minimum Housing Code Enforcement program. Actions other than code enforcement which are intended to foster housing maintenance and improvements, specifically tax incentives to promote investment and restoration of deteriorated or abandoned housing, are being considered by East Central Iowa Council of Governments as elements of their multi - county Housing Policy Plan. If such programs are forthcoming, Iowa City would fall within the jurisdiction of implementation and would encourage their development locally. To address need for subsidies. The updated assessment of housing assistance needs of lower- income households clearly points to major categories of need among elderly homeowners (71%) and small family renters (76%). _ Housing rehabilitation goals will serve as the primary mechanism for addressing all lower income owner household 32 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•OF.S M011JES needs. An additional 10 units of traditional public housing acquisition and rehabilitation are proposed to address the larger family rental housing need. Through new construction - projects which are proposed during the next year, rental subsidies could be offered to an additional 30 units. As a third approach to meeting rental housing needs, a 50 unit increase in contract authority for rental subsidies in existing units will be pursued. Planning for housing development City-wide planning for housing development will be accomplished in part through implementation of the Comprehensive Plan, the new zoning ordinance and the Housing Assistance Plan. Community facilities and improvements are currently adequate for the accomplishment of assisted housing goals. Program capactiy to serve elderly needs is being increased by developing the Senior Center facility. Coordination with other communities andlap nning agencies Iowa City will continue to encourage and facilitate development of an area -wide housing opportunity plan, a county housing development policy and a county housing authority. Additionally, the possibility of implementing a regional housing program will be investigated. Monitoring impacts of program development. Iowa City housing programs will continue to be closely monitored in order to improve the effectiveness of housing assistance for lower income households. } Spacial deconcentration. For some time, the development of housing programs in Iowa City has been directed toward i ! achieving spacial deconcentration of lower income families. The existing rental subsidy program with 334 units, encourages lower income families to seek housing at scattered sites throughout the City. Public housing for families now in the process of development, will be constructed in small groups at scattered sites. Proposed new construction will be developed in the same manner. Fair housin . Continued fair housing practices will be ensured by up ating the local ordinance to conform to recent changes in the state fair housing regulations. Changes, if adopted, will prevent discrimination against tenants on the basis of their friends. V Increasing the choice of housing opportunities. In addition to the federally subsidized hous ng goals referenced above, a major project to increase choices of housing opportunities for low income families in Iowa City has been proposed through the Small Cities grant application. A combination of new 33 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition/relocation will ^ provide opportunities for lower income families to seek housing outside the flood plain, to obtain adequate housing near their old neighborhood, or to upgrade housing conditions within the neighborhood. Fifty-five percent of the female -headed households in Iowa City are non -elderly, single women and, as such, are not eligible for most federally assisted housing programs. Housing alternatives for the remaining 28% elderly and 16% family heads are expected to be substantially increased by projects now in development. Minority households comprise only 2.2% of the City population j and minority applicants have comprised a much smaller percentage of the total applicants for housing assistance. To I insure that minorities, female -headed households and other low income households are aware of the possible housing programs available to them, the Iowa City Housing Commission has ~ considered sponsoring the publication of a comprehensive Housing Information pamphlet. Completion and distribution of the pamphlet is expected during the next fiscal year. DisQlacement. As reflected on Table II of the Housing Assistance Plan and the narrative of the community development strategy, the City's proposed Small Cities project will necessarily involve the displacement of 17 households from inadequate housing. Relocation assistance will be available to - these households, and the relocation activities as set forth in the Uniform Act will be strictly followed. In addition, as a i part of the housing strategy and HAP goals to assist residents to remain in their neighborhood, a HUD -subsidized new construction project for 10-20 units has been proposed for development on the periphery of the target area outside the ~ flood plain. 34 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES Mo1Fl Es 1 'y D. STRATEGY FOR PROVIDING COMMUNITY -WIDE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS SENIOR CENTER The long-term goal regarding the Senior Center is to provide a centrally located accessible facility which can house a variety of programs and services for the elderly in the community. i Program Objectives: j 1. To rehabilitate the old Post Office building acquired with CDBG funds for reuse as a Senior Center. (An architect has been hired and is now completing plans for the structure.) 2. To provide leadership in meeting the needs of the elderly i in Iowa City by providing a well designed facility and j administrative staff support for the project. Short-term Objectives: 1. To direct, monitor, and coordinate the exterior renova- tion as the old Post Office structure is preserved. 1 2. To direct, monitor, and coordinate the interior construc- tion as the structure is developed for reuse as a multi- purpose Senior Center. 3. To direct, monitor, and coordinate the interior decorations, furnishings and equipping of the Senior Center to pro- f vide a functional and aesthetically pleasing environment ,I W� 4. To train employees, agency directors, and volunteers to develop management skills to operate the Senior Center in an efficient effective manner. 5.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY — Iowa City's Economic Development Program which is just getting underway, is being locally funded. The program will include an 1 analysis of the City's economic base, with particular emphasis — on identifying local strengths and weaknesses. Alternative economic development strategies will be evaluated in terms of their potential for increasing the tax base and balancing the job market in Iowa City. The Downtown Redevelopment Program is providing opportunities for r new downtown commercial development. The improvement program for the lower Ralston Creek area (under the preapplication submitted for the Small Cities Program) proposes partial acquistion and clearance of a blighted, mixed used area, with assembly of parcels of land to permit the development of land consumptive commercial uses. i y 36 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 1 1: MAPS A.

Definition of Substandard Housing: Substandard housing is defined as those structures which do not comply with major provisions of Minimum Housing Standards (Section 9.30, Municipal Code of Iowa City) especially those that directly relate to the health and safety of occupants. Overcrowded living conditions, faulty wiring, structural hazards, architectural barriers, inadequate heating of units, lack of one or more plumbing facilities, and fire hazards are some of the primary considerations in the designation of substandard structures for this Housing Assistance Plan. Locally, any structure that has any code violation is technically a substandard structure, however, for the purposes of this plan, only those structures which are in violation of one or more significant aspects of the local housing code or have major incipient violations are listed as substandard. 2. Definition of Suitable -for -Rehabilitation: Suitable -for -Rehabilitation buildings are structures which have accumulated defects and deficiencies but not to the point of precluding their economic and physical feasibility of rehabilitation. Structures not suitable -for -rehabilitation include those having (1) excessive repair -to -value ratio, (2) incompatible land use relation- ship, (3) location in floodways, (4) location outside project planning area boundaries. _. 3.

Methodology The total available housing stock in Iowa City (column b, line 7) was calculated from current demolition and construction records maintained by the Department of Housing Inspection Services. Figures included in the remainder of column (b) and in column (c), "all units," were established through analysis of previously collected housing data and by updating portions of the data with information from current surveys. Limitations of available data precluded exact enumeration of figures in each column consequently various projection rate factors were developed to complete "owner" and "renter" categories. Specific methodology for each column is given below. Column (c): All Units Totals Line 7 Housing Stock Available: Analysis of existing demolition and building permits indicates that the current housing stock in Iowa City is 17,911 units. This figure includes 8,555 single family units, 1,417 duplex units, 6,968 multi -family units, 923 mobile home hookups and 48 structures which have rooming units. Among the 48 rooming structures are nine University residence halls and 26 fraternity and sorority houses which provide rooms for approximately 6,500 University students or 30 percent of the current enrollment. Lines 4 and 1 Vacant/Occupied Units: All lines are totals of respective lines in columns (e) and (g). Lines 2 and 5; 3 and 6 Substandard/Standard Units: Substandard structures enumerated on lines 2 and 5 are a total of appropriate lines and in columns (e) and (g). Figures on lines 3 and 6 were computed according to HAP instructions. Column (d): All Units Suitable for Rehabilitation All lines are totals of respective lines in columns (f) and -(h). In August 1977 an Exterior Building Condition Survey of structures within the CDBG improvement area was completed. (See Exhibit A for MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS. DES Mo IHES survey methodology). The survey covered 80 percent of the structures within the improvement area (approximately)51 percent of the total city housing stock) and revealed that 65 percent of the structures are in fairly sound condition, 31 percent have minor deficiencies, 3.8 percent have major deficiencies and 0.16 percent should be demolished. This information was applied to the total number of housing units in Iowa City in order to project units suitable for rehabilitation. Figures in Table I this year were obtained by subtracting the number of units rehabilitated since last year. Column (e): Owner Unit Totals Line 7 Housing Stock Available: Estimates of the total number of housing units were updated from the FY78 HAP by adding housing starts to appropriate columns. Information was obtained from the 1978 Annual Construction and Demolition Report from the Department of Housing and Inspection Services. Lines 4 and 1 Vacant/Occupied Units: Frequent fluctuations in the Iowa City housing market provide a difficult situation for maintaining accurate records on housing vacancies. In the past the overall city vacancy rate of 2.18 percent (1974 Census) and the rental vacancy rate of .98 percent (1975 Rental Housing Survey) was used to compute occupied rental units and the rate of 3.60 percent for owner - occupied housing was estimated from residual figures. The change in instructions for this HAP (computing vacancy rate from a base of standard housing rather than all housing) slightly lowers the vacancy rate for Iowa City. Lines 2 and 5 Substandard Units: Previous estimates of substandard units were derived from various sources, primarily the Survey of Exterior Building Conditions (August 1977) and information provided by ongoing housing code enforcement activities. According to the definition of substandard units set forth in this HAP, it was estimated that approximately 11 percent of owner units were substandard. For this year's HAP, figures were updated by subtracting the number of completed rehabilitation projects from the previous number of substandard units. Lines 3 and 6 Standard Units: Lines 3 and 6 were computed per table instructions. Column (f): Owner Units Suitable for Rehabilitation The number of units suitable for rehabilitation was determined by using percentages developed from the Exterior Building Condition Survey applying the criteria set forth in 77the tRon Cu Suitable-for- 67 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RANDS•Dp. Ido IIIES Rehabilitation. Numbers were updated by subtracting the number of rehabilitation projects completed during the last year. Lines 2 and 5 Substandard Units: A survey of structures within the COBG improvement area revealed that only 0.16 percent of the housing stock cannot feasibly be rehabilitated. This statistic was applied to figures on line 1 and line 4, column (e) to obtain the number which could be rehabilitated. Rehabilitation projects completed over the past year were then subtracted from that total in order to update the estimate. Lines 3 and 6 Standard Units: Units enumerated on lines 3 and 6 in column (e) are exempt from rehabili- tation by definition, i.e., there may be one or more local code violations present among standard structures. However, these violations would be of a type such that the health and safety of occupants is not significantly effected. Column (g): Renter Unit Totals Line 7: iEstimates of the total number of renter housing units were computed according to 1970 Census data percentages for owner and rental housing, and were updated by current construction information. Rental housing constitutes approximately 54.1 percent of all housing units in Iowa City. During the last year 171 units of rental housing were constructed, bringing the total to 9,671 units. Lines 4 and 1 Vacant/Occupied Units: A 1975 Community Development Surve of Rental Housing provided a 0.98 percent vacancy rate for rental housing in Iowa City. This 50 percent sample of the rental units in Iowa City provided specific information on the number of units vacant and the amount of time they were vacant which allowed calculation of an annual unit -month vacancy rate (units vacant multiplied by the number of months vacant as a percentage of all unit -months in which housing could be occupied). This .98 percent vacancy rate was applied to the current number of rental units available in order to compute vacant units and occupied units for all rental housing. Thus, 9,671 rental units x .98 = 94 vacant rental units 9,671 rental units - 94 vacant units = 9,577 occupied rental units With the change in instructions, using standard housing as a base for vacancy rate, the percentage on line 9 decreases slightly. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DFS 110INES Lines 2 and 5 Substandard Units: The Exterior Building Condition Surve and housing code enforcement data were used to estab tsh substandard structures in column (g). Housing code enforcement activities show that approximately 80 percent of rental units have one or more code violations upon j initial inspection. This percentage fluctuates as enforcement ^ activities continue and as violations are corrected, nevertheless, 80 percent of the renter units are technically substandard to local codes at one point in the process. When applying the definition of substandard as set forth in this HAP, that figure reduces to 16 percent. Thus, 16 percent of 9,577 occupied renter units or 1,532 units, are substandard units for the purposes of this HAP. Likewise, 16 percent of 94 units on line 5 computes to 15 vacant substandard renter units. Lines 3 and 6 Standard Units: _ Lines 3 and 6 were computed per HAP instructions. Column (h)• Renter Units Suitable for Rehabilitation The number of units suitable for rehabilitation was determined by using percentages developed from the Exterior Buildin Condition Surve applying the criteria set forth in the de tm tlon o sults a or rehabilitation. Lines 2 and 5 Substandard Units: As stated previously, the survey of structures within the CDBG improvement area revealed that only five substandard occupied structures or 0.16 percent could not be rehabilitated. Applying 1 this percentage to the number of occupied renter units (.0016 x 9407), yields 15 units which are not suitable and 1,490 renter units which are suitable for rehabilitation. All vacant renter units discovered in the survey could be rehabilitated, hence, all 15 substandard vacant units are assumed suitable for rehabilitation. Lines 3 and 6 Standard Units: — Structures enumerated on lines 3 and 6, column (h), are exempt from rehabilitation by definition, i.e., there may be one or more code violations present among standard and marginal structures, however, these violations would be of a type such that the health and safety of occupants is not significantly effected. SPECIAL HOUSING CONDITIONS According to the general instructions, Iowa City does not have special housing conditions which would require a separate detailed description. 69 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES tI01I1CS 11 EXHIBIT 13xterior Building Survey RE: 1977 Exterior Survey Procedures In order to assess the exterior condition of the housing units in the project area, an exterior survey of each structure was taken. Some order was imposed on this process as the Cb BG Neighborhood Improvement Program area was divided into areas. These areas, 1, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 17 were the proposed 1980 census tracts. Within each of these areas then the blocks were numbered. There is a memo that deals with this process in greater detail. The survey form itself allowed for preliminary information such as the house number: area -block -number -side (see memo mentioned above), number of units, number of stories, address, and surveyor's name (see attached survey form).. The other inform- ation at the top of the form was disregarded. The lower portion presented an evaluation of foundations, walls, roofs, porches, painting and walks. The condition of each of these components was then rated as affecting 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of the entire structure. For example, a vertical fault on only one side was rated as affecting 25% of the entire structure, faults on two sides rated 50%, and so on. At the end of each day's surveying the blocks completed that day were then mapped. The purpose of this procedure was two -fold: Cl) it served as a measure of the J project's progress and (2) it provided an accurate map of each block, indicating which lots had structures and also the location of secondary structures such as garages, sheds, etc. I Eventually, a scoring system was devised and points were given for flaws within a structure (see attachment). These points were then totalled to give the unit an overall score. For example, a house with foundation settled on 25% of the structure and a roof ridge sagged to affect 50% of the structure received a score of 10, 2 for the foundation plus 8 for the roof. Structures with an overall score of 0-5 were considered to be sound; 6-20 were minor deficient, having minor code violations; 21-40 were major deficient, needing several repairs; 41+ were structurally substandard, to a point requiring clearance. The results obtained from this procedure were then 1 represented graphically, by mapping, as explained in Allen's memo of 8-26-77. >cl,ssw Attachments i 70 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES tIo INES 1 EXHIBIT A Exterior Building Survey I I I RE, 1977 Exterior Survey Data Ma � pping Procedures Upon completion of the survey of the exterior condition of the Iowa City each structure was scored on a basis of Of black marks in Jacobs, memo of 8-26-77 housing stock tof l overall condition of the cit The results were then ma (outlined Y and to locate pockets Ofsubstandardhousing. the The condition of the structures were grouped into four categories and are as follows: Points 0-S Condition 6-20Struct rallY Sound 21-40 Minor Deficient 41 -up Major Deficient Structurally Substandard Two types of maps were produced to gain a better indication of these conditions, o The first the majorodeficientnandlon of ea struturallytructure substandard housing surveyed and allows for the observance The conditions were color coded (see map key) for eas g and their exact locations, entire lot on which a structure is located being shaded a y identification with the The second type of ma appropriately. block Gond t P indicates the average condition of all structures for each an area.

The block in the far northwest corner of the census tract is assigned number one. The block directly east is assigned number two and so on until the eastern border of the census tract is met. Then the block directly south is given the next number with the block directly west the next. Again this continues to the western edge whereupon the numbering turns around again. E`: © oo ®CJ©L7 This system is straight forward in square census tracts, however, ones discretion is needed in assigning numbers to blocks in irregular shaped tracts. This system was followed as closely as possible on all tracts. STRUCTURES: Structures were numbered with the first primary building in the north- west corner of the block facing north being assigned number one. The building directly east was number two and so on, clockwise around the block. Letters were also assigned to each structure to designate which direction they faced.

The primary source used in calculating estimates of households in need of housing assistance was the HUD Table, Special Tabulations - Inadequate Livin Conditions, prepared for Iowa CThis Table specifies househol s by family size, by age, - by income, tenure and suitability of living conditions. Although the Special Tabulations were just recently available to Iowa City , the data was taken from the 1970 Census. To update estimates to 1979, certain projection rate factors were developed based upon the increase in number of housing units. Income levels were established according to the HUD eligibility schedule for Section -8 housing programs. As instructed, lower income households in Iowa City are those households which have an income lower than 80% of the median income for Johnson County, adjusted for household size. In 1970, the median income for Johnson County -was $9,734, thus, lower income levels by household size are as follows: 76 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIIIES I person - 56% of $ 9,734 = $ 5,451 2 persons - 64% of $ 9,734 = $ 6,230 3 and 4 persons - 76% of $ 9,734 = $ 7,398 5 persons - 85% of $ 9,734 = $ 8,274 9 6+ persons - 95% of $ 9,734 = $ ,247 ALL HOUSEHOLDS REQUIRING ASSISTANCE. (Columns (b-1) through (b-4)) OWNER HOUSEHOLDS Line 3: Owner Households Base data on the number of elderly, family and large family households requiring assistance were taken directly from the HUD Table on Special Tabulations for each household category. Only those households having a lower income according to the above schedule AND inadequate housing conditions were enumerated. Generally, criteria for determination of inadequate living conditions for owner -occupied units include lack of plumbing, overcrowding (more than 1.25 persons Per room), and a unit age -to -value ratio (built before 1939 and valued less than $10,000). According to recent changes in instructions for calculating needs, lower income households having adequate living conditions are not considered by HUD to be in need of housing assistance. This necessarily excludes low income elderly homeowners who are living in adequate housing but want to move to assisted rental housing. Since 1970 there has been a 17.25% increase in owner -occupied housing in Iowa City, thus, households requiring assistance in each household category were increased by a factor of .1725. Non -elderly handicapped households were subtracted from the family category and added to the elderly and handicapped need category. Since 1970, 36 elderly house- holds, 10 small family households and 1 large family household have been assisted through the Housing Rehabilitation Program. These assisted households were subtracted from calculated needs, leaving the amounts entered on Table II: 121 elderly, 22 small family and 28 large family households requiring assistance. Line 2: Displacement During the next three years, Iowa City's proposed Small Cities improvement project, if funded, will result in the displacement of five elderly owner households and one small family owner household. These figures were entered in appropriate columns on line 2. All displaced households will be entitled to relocation assistance as set forth in the Uniform Act, Line 1: Total Owner Households Requiring Assistance All figures are totals of lines 3 and 2 in appropriate columns. 77 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CCDAR RAPIDS -DES t10171E5 Line 4: Percentage of Need by Household Type Pursuant to recent changes in HUD instructions, owner households are no longer included with rental assistance needs. Percentage of need by household category for owners corresponds to previous year HAP estimates, i.e., elderly households comprise the largest (71%) percentage of the need for assistance to homeowners. RENTER HOUSEHOLDS Line 6: Displacement During the next three years, Iowa City's proposed Small Cities ^� Improvement Project, if funded, will result in the displacement of 1 elderly renter and 10 small family renter households. These figures were entered in appropriate columns on line 2. All displaced households will be entitled to relocation assistance as set forth in the Uniform Act. ER MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB croAR RAPIDS•D[S MOINES Line 7: Renter Households Housing needs of lower income renters was calculated according to the same method used to calculate needs for owner households. Base data on the number of elderly, family and large family households having a lower income AND inadequate living conditions were enumerated from the HUD Table, Special Tabulations. Inadequate living conditions for renters, as determined by census data criteria, are: overcrowding (more than 1.25 persons per room), lack of plumbing, and overpayment (paying more than 25% of household income for rent). The method of calculation excludes lower income renters living in suitable conditions, who with assistance could purchase a home, thereby vacating an adequate rental unit for use by a lower income inadequately housed tenant. Since 1970, there has been a 19.85% increase in rental housing, there- fore, housing assistance needs in each household category were increased by a factor of .1985. Non -elderly handicapped household j needs were subtracted from the family category and added to the elderly and handicapped category. Housing assistance provided or committed to lower income renters since 1970 includes 567 units for elderly and handicapped, 204 units for small families and 16 units for large families provided through Sections 8 and 202 new construction projects, Traditional Public Housing new construction, and the existing unit rental program. In addition, 799 lower income small families are assisted through the University married student housing programs and 240 small families and 8 large families are assisted through a 236 housing project. Even though assistance through new i construction projects has not yet been directly provided to households, HUD,.has instructed that these committed units be included as assistance provided. All housing ,assistance provided was subtracted from the needs in corresponding household categories and the resulting housing needs (133 elderly,.. 1,082 small family, 104 i large family) were entered in Table II. Line 6: Displacement During the next three years, Iowa City's proposed Small Cities ^� Improvement Project, if funded, will result in the displacement of 1 elderly renter and 10 small family renter households. These figures were entered in appropriate columns on line 2. All displaced households will be entitled to relocation assistance as set forth in the Uniform Act. ER MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB croAR RAPIDS•D[S MOINES Line 8: Households Expected to Reside Updated instructions for completing estimates of households Expected To Reside (ETR) were not included with other HAP materials. With the understanding that ETR's will be revised at a later date to conform to changes in HUD instructions, new estimates for FY79 ETR's were not calculated for this HAP. Rather, the following estimates are taken — from last year's HAP and are based upon information from the Johnson Count Employers Surve - 1975, prepared by the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission. Number of people working in Iowa City or Coralville and living in small towns in Johnson County 3271 Number of people working in Iowa City or Coralville and living inruralJohnson County 1153 - Number of people working in Iowa City or " Coralville and living outside Johnson County 1144 Total number working in the area but living outside Iowa City or Coralville 5568 In 1970, 38% of all families in the county had incomes below 80% of median income. Assuming that this percentage can be applied to all persons working in Iowa City and Coralville, then 5568 x 38% yields 2116 persons of low income working in Iowa City or Coralville and 1 residing elsewhere. It is further assumed that (a) only the low income workers living outside the county would benefit by moving closer to their work, and (b) if they moved they would locate inside the boundaries of Iowa City, rather than elsewhere in the county. -• ! Commuters to Iowa City from outside the county comprise 20.5% of all commuters, therefore: Low income commuters, 2116 x 20.5% = 434 expected to reside in Iowa City if housing were available. a The percentage distribution of households expected to reside in each family category -- elderly, family and large family -- is a rough i estimate based upon inquiries for housing from new low income ( residents in the City. - The next year is expected to bring no appreciable influx of non - elderly lower income households over last year for two significant reasons: (a) the lack of new employment, and (b) the lack of low cost housing alternatives. For the most part, new employment is either part-time work or is absorbed by unemployed residents within the community. Although University employment has been growing steadily, there have been and will be no significant increases in jobs which would attract lower income households. City plans for economic development may alter the situation within the next three years, however, no significant increase is expected in this next year. 79 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MnuIES FA The large number of University students in Iowa City places heavy demands on the rental housing market. Rental rates and housing costs are higher within the community than anywhere in the county or sur- rounding counties. Hence, it is unlikely that lower income families will have incentive to move into the community from surrounding areas. (According to the local Board of Realtors, the average house sale is currently over $55,000. Likewise, rents have increased to a level where the average rent for a one bedroom apartment is $180 per month.) Line 5: Total Renter Households Requiring Assistance All figures are totals of lines 6, 7 and 8 in appropriate columns. Line 9: Percentage of Need by Household Type The amount of housing assistance provided or committed to elderly and handicapped renter households in the past has significantly decreased the percentage of need found among this household type and consequently, has increased the proportion of need found among small renter households. In the next three years, goals will be set to address the high proportion (76%) of assistance required by small family renters, however it is important to note that according to previous HAP estimates, over one-third of the lower income small families are non -elderly single households who are not eligible for most federally assisted housing programs. ALL MINORITY HOUSEHOLDS Iowa City has a relatively small number of minority households, thus, specific census information on minorities is not available. Base data for housing assistance needs among minorities were taken from the HUD Special Tabulations by subtracting needs among white households from the total household need. Table II estimates for minorities were computed using the same methodology applied to all households in columns (b-2) through (b-4) and subtracting assistance provided. A total of fifteen minority households are currently assisted - three elderly renters, ten small family renters, and one small family owner. According to 1970 census data, there are no minority homeowners requiring assistance, however, this data can be expected to have changed over a period of nine years. ALL FEMALE -HEADED HOUSEHOLDS Income data by age, household size and racial composition is not available for female -headed households, therefore, figures provided in Table II were based on percentages derived from census data. In Iowa City 37% of all families are lower income families and 94% of all unrelated individuals are lower income individuals. These _ percentages were applied to the number of female -headed families and female individuals in Iowa City, and current assistance was subtracted to provide an estimate of the number of lower income female -headed households requiring assistance. Because data on living conditions is not available for female -headed households, figures on Table II include lower income female -headed households who M MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB C.EDAP RAPIDS -DES MoluEs may have adequate living conditions. In addition, 77% of the non - elderly female -headed households in Iowa City are primary individuals. Special Housing Assistance Needs of Lower Income Households. A. MINORITY HOUSEHOLDS In 1970, only 2.2% of the Iowa City population were classified as other than White. The Black population is the largest minority group in the City. In 1974, 56% (388) of the Black population were University students and the rest were integrated throughout the City. Minority households have no particular housing needs or problems that differ or are more severe than the community as a whole. According to the HUD Special Tabulations, minority housing needs are 3.6% of the total needs. Since 1970, 11% of all housing assistance provided has been directed to minorities. B. FEMALE -HEADED HOUSEHOLDS The rise in single parent families plus the high proportion of unmarried people in Iowa City account for the relatively high proportion of female -headed households. In 1970, 7.9% of all �. families were headed by a female. Among all female -headed households in Iowa City 55% are non - elderly primary individuals, 24% are elderly primary Y individuals, 4% are elderly heads of families and 16% are non - elderly heads of families. Very few female -headed households have more than two children. - The housing problems of all female -headed households are largely economic concerns. Mean income for all female heads of families in 1970 was $3,258 less than the mean income for all families ($11,080). Female 1ndlviduals earned a mean income of $2,282, $74 less than the mean for all individuals. In view of this, the types of housing assistance best suited to the needs of low income female -headed households are rental subsidies and housing rehabilitation. C. HANDICAPPED HOUSEHOLDS Iowa City has a higher percentage of handicapped and disabled persons (15%) than the state average (13.8%) because of the availability of education, health, employment and recreational services for the handicapped population. The facilities and services available and the supportive climate within which they function, attract new special need households to Iowa City each _ year. Current information about the Iowa City handicapped population regarding household composition, tenure and income is not available in any consistent form, however, state averages indicate that 21% of handicapped households have lower incomes and 30% live in families of more than two people. 81 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MoIrIES 7 Systems Unlimited, Inc., a local non-profit organization providing housing and transportation services to the handicapped, has expressed a difficulty in finding units to accommodate mobility -restricted individuals. Therefore, they applied for and received approval to develop 48 units of Section 202 scattered site housing for handicapped group living. Because a majority of handicapped individuals in the community currently live outside institutions (except temporarily for health care) handicapped service providers indicate there is no need for deinstitutionalization. D. OTHER SPECIAL HOUSING NEEDS Iowa City has no significant number of special housing needs related to the economic base such as those described in HAP instructions.

First priority shall be given to meeting the needs for tenure, households, or housing types which have ,not been substantially met in prior years. Iowa City made substantial progress toward meeting all assistance goals as originally estimated in 1975, however, a disproportionate percentage of the elderly and handicapped households goals were ..; achieved. Thus, in the next three years, the provision of housing assistance to families remains a priority. Three year housing assistance goals address the needs of each household type (within tenure) in the same proportion as the total lower-income housing needs identified in Table II. A. Goals for Homeowners (70 Units) 1. New Construction. Iowa City has not met with much success in promoting 235 housing. During the next year, the feasible alternatives for implementing the 235 programs will be investigated. 2. Rehabilitation. Iowa City's CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation program supplemented by the 312 loans will provide all housing assistance to homeowners. An expected j 70 units are scheduled for completion in the next three years. B. Goals for Renters (265 units) 1. New Construction for Prospective Homeowners. See number 1 referenced above. 2. New., Rental Units. A goal of 145 new rental units is proposed for the next three year- ;housing _program. The large number of small family renters -needing: assistance, plus the low vacancy rate in Iowa City, indicate a substantial need for new units. Applications will be submitted for Traditional Public Housing as units are advertised and the City staff will continue to encourage developers,to apply for Section -8 construction loans. 30 units are scheduled for first year activities. 3. Rehabilitation. In order to upgrade older single family housing and to provide appropriate units for small and large family housing needs, Iowa City proposed to undertake acquisition and substantial rehabilitation of 20 units through the recently revised :Traditional Public Housing, rehabilitation program. Subsequent to purchase - 84 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 14011JES S and rehabilitation, units will be rented to lower income families. Funding for 20 units will be pursued during the first year of activities. 4. Existing Rental Units. The existing unit rental program in Iowa City is an important element in the overall program theme to provide assistance to small families. It has been successful primarily as a result of efforts of the housing staff to encourage landlords to lower rents. In the next three years an addition to 100 contracts for rental subsidies is proposed, 50 units without repairs and 50 units with funding for repairs. The latter, if approved, will provide funding of up to $1,000 per unit to upgrade available units to Section -8 Existing Housing quality standards without increasing rents above HUD fair market levels. 5. Other Actions. Iowa City is not anticipating undue difficulty in achieving goals not proposed in previous HAP's primarily due to actions taken in the past to facilitate development of assisted housing. These actions include promotional and informational activities, subsidized land sales, zoning changes, modification of local ordinances and land use measures to facilitate development.

EXPLANATION OF SELECTION OF GENERAL LOCATIONS 1. Now Construction General locations were chosen with objectives of furthering community revitalization and promoting greater choice of housing opportunities for lower income households. In addition, areas chosen have available public facilities, developable sites appropriate to HUD -Assisted programs, proximity to schools, transit, recreation facilities, shopping areas and if developed would not create an undue concentration of assisted housing. The accompanying map does not list areas currently being developed per HUD instructions, rather Table IV shows only those areas appropriate for development of goals proposed in Table V of this HAP. 2. Rehabilitation At present, the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation program operates within the boundaries of the CDBG Neighborhood Improvement Area as shown. This area was chosen primarily because it contains a majority of the oldest housing stock in Iowa City, much of which can be feasibly rehabilitated. Within the program area Housing Rehab, Code Enforcement, Site Improvements, Energy Conservation, and other programs function together to provide overall neighborhood revitalization. Housing Rehab outside the project area has not been defined as a priority by citizens or the City Council and therefore, has not been an authorized CABG expenditure.
