Re: April 19, 2018 meeting
Thank you for your time and dedication during the funding allocation process. The following
is a short description of the agenda items. If you have any questions about the agenda, or if
you are unable to attend the meeting, please contact Kirk Lehmann at 319-356-5247 or Kirk-
Lehmann@Iowa-City.org.
Item 4: Review and consider recommendation to City Council on approval of Iowa
City Housing Authority 2018 Annual Report
The Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA) prepares an annual report which provides details
about ICHA’s current programs, the resident population served, the annual application for
grants to support public housing improvements, as well as its strategy for addressing the
housing needs of currently assisted families and the larger community. The strategies for
meeting ICHA’s mission, goals, and objective are stated in its 5-Year Plan for Fiscal Years
2015-2019 and are contained in Iowa City’s Consolidated Plan title CITY STEPS 2016-2020.
Be prepared to review and consider recommendation of the ICHA’s 2018 Annual Report to
City Council. Public copies are available in the office of the Iowa City Housing Authority,
City Hall, 410 E. Washington Street, Iowa City.
Item 5: Review and consider recommendation to City Council on approval of FY19
Annual Action Plan – plan available online at www.icgov.org/actionplan
At the January 18 and March 15 meetings, HCDC approved City Fiscal Year 19 budget
recommendations for Aid to Agencies and CDBG/HOME housing and public facilities
projects. Staff will provide an overview of the draft CFY19 (Federal FY18) Annual Action
Plan which incorporates your funding recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year,
followed by discussion, proposed changes, and a consideration of recommending the draft
Plan to City Council.
The Annual Action Plan provides a summary of actions and resources that will help address
the needs and goals in the 2016-2020 CITY STEPS for the City’s 2019 fiscal year. The Plan
includes the budget for CDBG and HOME funds, a description of the projects to be funded,
and several U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-required
documents. After approval by City Council, the Plan is submitted to HUD for approval. Final
CDBG and HOME entitlement amounts are currently unknown, and the City cannot submit
an Annual Action Plan to HUD until the allocation is finalized. However, draft Plan’s
allocations will be adjusted proportionally if the final allocation is within 20 percent of FY18
grant amounts, per the decision at the March 15 meeting.
The Annual Action Plan’s 30-day public comment period began on April 13 and runs through
May 14, 2018. The City Council is scheduled to hold a public meeting and formally approve
the Plan on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. Public copies are available at the Iowa City Public
2
Library, Neighborhood Services Department at City Hall, and online at
www.icgov.org/actionplan.
Item 6: Discussion of projects that have not complied with the ‘Unsuccessful or
Delayed Projects Policy’
Staff will provide updates on projects that have not spent at least 50% of their funding award
by March 15. The ‘Unsuccessful or Delayed Projects Policy’ permits HCDC to recommend
recapturing unspent funds or to allow the recipient to retain the project funds. Currently, the
following projects are out of compliance with the policy:
x FY18 New Creations Daycare
x FY18 Crisis Center Remodel
x FY18 Successful Living SRO CDBG Acquisition
Item 7: Monitoring Reports
Staff or project recipients will provide updates on open projects.
x Housing Fellowship
x Mayor’s Youth Empowerment Program
x Successful Living
Item 8: Discussion of the Community Development Celebration
Be prepared to discuss whether HCDC wishes to form a subcommittee to plan and implement
a Community Development celebration highlighting the local uses of CDBG and HOME
funds.
Item 9: Staff/Commission Comment
The following three members of HCDC have terms that expire on June 30, 2018:

By a vote of 8-0 the Commission recommends that City Council have Staff analyze the neighborhood
stabilization and racial equity impacts of the South District Partnership as it is carried out, including the
use of the racial equity toolkit.
By a vote of 8-0 the Commission recommends to the City Council that should federal funding not be
within 20 percent of FY18 grant amounts, then the HCDC will review the allocations. Otherwise, staff will
proportionally adjust funding as needed to match the CDBG and HOME grants for FY19.
CALL MEETING TO ORDER:
Olmstead called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM.
APPROVAL OF THE FEBRUARY 15, 2018 MINUTES:
Eastham moved to approve the minutes of February 15, 2018. Harms seconded the motion. A vote was
taken and the motion passed 7-0 (Conger not present for vote).
PUBLIC COMMENT FOR TOPICS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
Maryann Dennis (The Housing Fellowship) wanted to announce that their project, Del Ray Ridge Limited
Partnership, was awarded low-income housing tax credits yesterday at the Iowa Finance Authority Board
meeting. The Board received 29 applications, 12 of which were approved. Dennis reminded the
Commission that they recommended to the Council that they receive the $330,000 that they set aside
and now they will move forward to build at 628 South Dubuque Street with 33 units, 29 affordable and 4
at market value, 4 will be ADA compliant and 1 will be adapted for visual impaired and the income
targeted is 60/40/30 percent of median income. Overall it will be $6.5 million project.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING APPLICATIONS FOR FY19 COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM
(HOME) FUNDING - APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT http://www.icgov.org/actionplan:
Lehmann used a spreadsheet to track the discussions and keep track of the recommended amounts. He
noted there was extra monies available, they thought they would have $570,000 total to allocate, and it will
actually be $645,000 total. $570,000 in HOME funds and $75,000 in CDBG.
Eastham noted he had submitted a revised scoring criteria and funding recommendations. Lehmann
noted he updated the funding recommendations but did not realize the scoring criteria had been revised.
Eastham noted he revised the scoring criteria for the Systems Unlimited application, he changed the score
from 17 to 66. Lehmann made that change on his spreadsheet.
Eastham suggested beginning the review by looking at the CDBG funds and reviewing those applications
by the highest score and going on from there, everyone agreed.
Olmstead began with review of the Arthur Street Healthy Living Center Project.
Eastham noted he gave it a score of 66 but does feel it is an interesting project, but to him since it is a
privately-owned entity it will be subject to property taxes and he suggests the applicant and the City, with
this commission’s encouragement, look at a property tax abatement method of doing the necessary
financing.
Housing and Community Development Commission

Olmstead asked how much extra the Commission had, Lehmann replied an extra $75,000 for HOME.
CDBG is still only $75,000 total to allocate.
Eastham moved that no CDBG allocation be made to the Arthur Street Healthy Life Center but that
City Council considers offering tax abatement for the same services as a for-profit provider.
McKinstry seconded the motion.
Olmstead echoed this motion believing it was a great idea.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 8-0.
Olmstead moved to the next application, the Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County (NCJC) siding
project, which has a median proposed allocation of $42,000 and an average of $43,400. The request of
$51,467.
Conger asked about the proposal and noted there was mention of going with a less expensive siding so
on that basis allocated $30,000.
Brian Loring (Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County) said they would not change out the siding
completely but might do some of the unexposed sides in a cheaper siding. He would have to talk with the
contractor on that and what it would look like in total cost.
McKinstry feels that the allocation has to be higher than $30,000 to achieve the project, it is a high need
category and a great organization. Lamkins agreed, noting that using cheaper siding now would result in
replacement needed sooner, so better to go with a higher quality product now. Eastham feels the
organization can do some fundraising or use other funds to contribute to the project as well.
Olmstead moved to the Prelude – Transitional Housing Upgrades project, Lehmann noted the median
proposed allocation is $29,000 and the average is $23,800.
Vaughn noted that the City is the only entity that will fund this type of project for Prelude, it is not
necessarily something people will get excited about and fundraise for, and so for that reason feels the
funding is important. She questioned the water heaters and if the type of water heater purchased might
alter the total cost.
Ron Berg (CEO Prelude) noted the project is for carpeting and stair trends in the transitional housing and
replacing the water heater that serves all 12 apartments. They would like to replace that with two or three
tankless heaters that would be installed in sequence as the advantage to having a couple tankless in
sequence is if one goes down there can still be some hot water in the building. He stated that the total
cost of the project is pretty split between the floors and water heaters, the water heaters will cost $34,665.
Vaughn asked about the carpet cost and the architect fee. Berg said the cost estimates came from the
architects and when they go out to bid the architects would prepare the bid documents, collect them and
make sure all requirements are met. However after learning that they will not have to go out for
construction sealed bids, the cost will decrease and the architect fee will not be needed.
Harms asked about prioritizing and if the Commission was only able to award partial funds, how would
Prelude prioritize carpet over the water heater. Berg said he would move forward with the water heater
first.
Harms recommends $41,000 to NCJC and $34,000 to Prelude so it would allow at least for the purchase
of the water heater. Vaughn agreed. All other Commissioners agreed.
Olmstead moved on to the HOME Eligible allocations. First is The Housing Fellowship – CHDO
Operating. The median proposed allocation is $21,000, the average is $21,400 and the request is
$25,000.
Eastham believes the maximum available is $21,000. Lehmann confirmed. Therefore Eastham suggests
an allocation of $21,000, all are in agreement.

Olmstead moved on to the Habitat for Humanity – Homeownership request. The median was $70,000
with an average of $62,000 and the request was $80,000.
Eastham suggests an allocation of $80,000 due to the additional funds now available and therefore would
allow for the purchase of two lots. Vaughn agreed as did the rest of the Commission.
Olmstead next discussed Mayor’s Youth Empowerment Program – HOME Acquisition. $75,000 was the
median, $75,000 was the average and the request was $75,000. He noted that it appears everyone is in
agreement for $75,000.
Next is Successful Living – four new rental houses. Olmstead noted $155,000 is the median, $124,200 is
the average and the request is for $310,000.
Eastham noted his allocation was based on a response to Tracy Hightshoe’s recommendation to not
allocate funding for housing acquisition projects that are proposing to not acquire all the buildings within
the coming program year. However he would like to come back to this application after reviewing the
rest. Olmstead and others agree. Lehmann noted he will put the allocation at $155,000 since that seems
to be the median and use that as a marker as the other applications are discussed. All agree.
Olmstead moved on to The Housing Fellowship – Rental. The median is $100,000 the average is
$96,000 and the request was $100,000. Eastham suggested moving forward with the $100,000
allocation and all agree.
Next is the City – South District Home Investment Partnership. Olmstead stated the median was $86,000
the average was $57,200 and the request was $100,000.
Eastham noted this project proposes buying two duplexes for housing units on Taylor and Davis Streets
and doing modifications and then selling those units as owner occupied. The application states that the
City would purchase duplexes that are now being rented and Eastham looked at the 2010 Census for the
race and ethnicity for residents on Taylor and Davis Streets and it appears 38% of residents on those two
streets are black or African American households and that is about six times the City-wide average.
Eastham stated that the City Council is in the process of adopting a racial impact toolkit for the purpose of
making sure City policies and practices have a racially neutral impact across the community and he does
not see this proposal as conforming to that upcoming City Council goal. He also does not see this
proposal as being fair for black or African American households; if Staff is convinced there is an
overriding policy need for decreasing the proportion of rental households in parts of the community, there
are plenty of other streets in this neighborhood that have a more balance of white, African American and
Hispanic households closer to that of the city. Eastman also notes the houses are being sold to
homebuyers and it has been documented that black and African American households have a harder
time obtaining financing than white households. Therefore, he does not feel this proposal passes the test
of a reasonable treatment of African American households.
Vaughn noted that if the houses are for sale, then anyone can buy them. Eastham agreed but the notion
is that the City is interjecting themselves into the process. Vaughn is questioning how the racial piece
comes into play. Conger agreed. Eastham said the African American households are being displaced.
Lamkins noted that these programs do help with lower-affordable housing purchasing options and is
similar to the UniverCity Program. The City will purchase these homes, go in and upgrade them and not
pass that charge onto the buyer so they will get a pretty nice home way below the market price.
McKinstry noted he lives in a neighborhood where the UniverCity Program worked, the Northside, and
within a couple blocks of his house there are a number of these homes that he thinks created a significant
positive impact in the neighborhood with increased stability, so he feels there is a positive social good in
the program. He understands Eastham is saying that perhaps up to four African American families may
be displaced out of their rentals, and that the people who buy the homes are less likely to be African
American due to financing challenges, but McKinstry wonders how to avoid that racial bias. Eastham
Housing and Community Development Commission
March 15, 2018
Page 5 of 9
believes they could choose different streets, and not two streets that are predominately occupied by
African Americans.
Conger believes one of the purposes of this program is neighborhood stabilization in the sense of too
many rentals in one area.
Lamkins disagrees that this would be discrimination against African American and based on the numbers
he feels there is more likelihood an African American family would purchase the four homes as well.
Harms feels that if this was put in an all-white neighborhood it could be seen as stabilizing only white
neighborhoods which could also be discrimination. Eastham noted it should be done on streets that have
a better mix of white, African American and Hispanic residents, not in a just white neighborhood. Harms
added that worst case scenario is if all four homes are purchased by white families it will actually help
diversify those streets. Eastham is not worried about diversification he is worried about displacement.
Stan Laverman (City of Iowa City) stated that one of the reasons they chose Taylor and Davis Streets is
because of the high concentration of rentals, the number of nuisance complains, and the success they
have seen with UniverCity Programs to stabilize neighborhoods. An example is Douglass Court where
there were able to go in and purchase a few homes there and really turn that neighborhood around.
Laverman noted that Taylor and Davis are the two streets that need stabilization, and they are looking at
houses where the occupants have been transient in nature, not looking at acquiring homes that have had
long term tenants.
Eastham asked if those occupants that are transient primarily black. Laverman could not say, he cannot
affirm nor deny, they have not looked at that data; they were looking more at types of landlords they would
like to incentivize to sell. Eastham asked why they cannot look at other streets that are more diverse.
Laverman said due to the ratio of rentals the Taylor and Davis area is the place to start because it would
get the most bang for the buck. Lehmann added that those two streets also had more nuisance complaints
than other streets. Eastham stated then because those two streets are majority transient and have the
most nuisances the City wants to move blacks out of there. Laverman stated that was not at all what he
was saying, those are facts and reasons to stabilize the neighborhood.
McKinstry said the focus needs to be on what good the program will do for the neighborhood and weigh
that against if some families will be displaced. Harms noted that no matter where this happened in the city
that would be true. Lamkins agreed and feels it is a good program for neighborhood stabilization and the
UniverCity Program has proven to work over the long term.
Conger noted she is not discounting Eastham’s concerns and feels it should be in the Commission purview
when looking at applications. She would like to move forward in terms of funding while still addressing the
concern. She asked if Eastham was against funding this program completely. Eastham noted that if the
supposed purpose of reducing the percentage of rental occupied housing in an area can be accomplished
without the cost of displacing people of color he is in favor, so the program could be done on other streets
and in other areas so it won’t have the racial disparity.
Fixmer-Oraiz noted that if the current landlords decide to sell the duplexes, they would be displacing these
tenants as well, so fails to see the difference.
Laverman added it is not just the stabilization of the neighborhood, it will be four families that will be able to
buy a home who wouldn’t likely otherwise be able to buy a home. Eastham still feels that can be done in
other areas in such a way. Lamkins understands Eastham’s argument however the only way to
accomplish what he wants, creating affordable home buying opportunities for African Americans is to target
that group which cannot be done when selling houses.
Lamkins recommends allocating $100,000 to this project. Majority of the Commission agrees.
Olmstead notes that this issue is important and wonders if City Council could request that staff might look
at the effects of this program in terms of racial impacts.
Housing and Community Development Commission
March 15, 2018
Page 6 of 9
Conger notes that she would like the City to arrange some sort of follow up study or check in to see what
has happened to the housing and the neighborhood.
Vaughan suggested potentially expanding the study to all neighborhoods and how stabilization has worked
overall for the City.
Eastham adds that it makes sense for City Council to analyze this project using the available racial equity
toolkit. Staff already has access to these analytical tools, and the City is focusing on racial equity.
Conger notes that would be a piece of the analysis, but that she hopes it wouldn’t be the whole follow up.
Conger wants to be sure the City looks at neighborhood and housing improvement as well.
Fixmer-Oraiz notes that she’s not sure what the Commission wants to motion. She suggests having the
City evaluate the impact of this project, and one of the ways to do this is using the racial equity toolkit.
Lamkins states what exactly did the Commission want staff to do, evaluate just this project or all
neighborhood stabilization efforts?
Fixmer-Oraiz said she’s surprised a study has not already been done regarding stabilization for other
neighborhood stabilization programs.
Conger asked whether the City has done other studies already.
Laverman noted that staff has looked at other neighborhoods for stabilization, such as the Douglass Court
area, however it is important for the City to be able to justify actions in these neighborhoods and not take
credit for everything good that happens in the neighborhoods just because the City had some interaction in
the neighborhoods. They keep track of areas with nuisance complaints, and realized with the new
occupancy standards there will be a lot of revisiting of these issues over the next few years.
Eastham suggests that the study be confined to the South District Partnership rather than the City at-large.
Fixmer-Oraiz agrees.
Olmstead adds that the City Council will receive a copy of these minutes, so they should have an
understanding of this discussion.
Conger moved that City Council have staff analyze the neighborhood stabilization and racial
equity impacts of the South District Partnership as it is carried out, including the use of the racial
equity toolkit. McKinstry seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed 8-0.
Olmstead moved on to Unlimited Abilities, the median was $65,000 average was $67,000 and the request
was $200,000
Fixmer-Oraiz noticed the scoring was for this application was low and was curious why Eastham changed
his allocation. Eastham noted he sees this application as basically a MYEP, a home for people with
special needs, specifically for people with intellectual disabilities. Their application was to buy one home
entirely using City funds, so given the total amount of money available for all applications, to fund
Unlimited Abilities as they attempt to establish a group home agency is something he feels he can
support for one home initially using City funds for down payment and financing the rest through private
mortgage lenders. He realizes it is a new program and not established like MYEP but he does think the
federal money available to the City should be used to help establish new organizations where there is a
need.
Angel Taylor (Unlimited Abilities) came forward to answer questions. The home would be for adults with
disabilities so the funding to support the residents would come from Medicaid.
McKinstry noted that with cuts in Medicaid funding that may not be sufficient. Eastham is not concerned
about the Medicaid issues, he feels they have a plan in place to achieve enough income from the three to
four residents in this one house. Taylor confirmed they do have private funding sources as well. Taylor
Housing and Community Development Commission
March 15, 2018
Page 7 of 9
stated the request was for $200,000 however just to get enough for a down payment would be helpful and
they can look to a private lender for the rest.
Fixmer-Oraiz agrees with using funds to support start-ups, especially where there is a need such as
housing for adults with disabilities, however her concern is the application asked for $200,000 and stated
the City was the only source for funding, and then now saying they could seek funding elsewhere is
confusing.
Lamkins is fine with leaving the $39,000 in the Unlimited Abilities allocation, he also likes the idea of
supporting a start-up, but also would be okay with putting those funds into one of the other two larger
project applications, like Successful Living.
Lehmann noted that HOME funds cannot fully fund a project, at least 25% must be matched so the
Commission could not allocate the entire award to fully purchase the home.
Vaughn asked if there would be 24/7 staffing at the Unlimited Abilities home. Taylor said it would be 24/7
staffing so there would need to be two to three staff members supporting the home.
Harms feels there is not enough information with this application to know that they will be stable enough
to be able to fulfill this project. She is concerned that the plan is not developed and that is why she didn’t
allocate any funds to this in her projections.
Vaughn agrees there was not enough information in the application to base an allocation on and seeing a
cash flow in today’s climate. Olmstead is also concerned with the instability of Medicaid and what
happens when it falls through or payments are late.
Eastham stated he will not defend the application, he just felt after thinking about it there was a similarity
to MYEP except MYEP has larger support, budgets, staffing etc., and this is a start-up and should be
supported.
Harms noted that the Commission has been very sympathetic to start-ups in the past (such as Inside Out)
but they had a clearer objective and requests that could be met. It took a couple years for them to show
they could sustain and effectively use the money.
Taylor added that the Foundation will also generate income through rentals. Eastham acknowledged that
is common in group home support.
Harms is leaning towards an allocation of zero this year and placing the $39,000 into another application
that can put the funds to good use this year. Lamkins is also leaning towards zero.
Lamkins suggested moving the remaining $39,000 in HOME funds to the Successful Living allocation.
Lamkins moved to recommend the following to City Council regarding applications for FY19
Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Program Funding:
o $21,000 HOME funds to The Housing Fellowship for Community Housing
Development Organization Operations
o $80,000 HOME funds to the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity for homeownership
o $75,000 HOME funds to Mayor’s Youth Empowerment Program for home
acquisition
o $194,000 HOME funds to Successful Living for new rental houses
o $100,000 HOME funds to The Housing Fellowship for rental acquisition
o $100,000 HOME funds to the City of Iowa City for the South District Home
Investment Partnership program
o $34,000 CDBG funds to Prelude for transitional housing improvements
o $41,000 CDBG funds to the Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County for the
Broadway Center siding improvements
McKinstry seconded.

Eastham noted he will not vote in favor of this recommendation due to the allocation to the City of Iowa
City South District Home Investment Partnership Program.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-1 (Eastham against)
Lamkins moved to that should federal funding not be within 20 percent of FY18 grant amounts,
then the HCDC will review the allocations. Otherwise, staff will proportionally adjust funding as
needed to match the CDBG and HOME grants for FY19. Conger seconded. Passed 8-0.
STAFF/COMMISSION COMMENT:
Lehmann noted the next meeting is Thursday, April 19, and they will be reviewing the Annual Action Plan
for recommendation to City Council. There is a change that the deadline normally followed may be
delayed due to federal funding. At the April 19 meeting they will also discuss delayed and unsuccessful
CDBG and HOME projects from FY18.
Meeting announcement regarding the League of Women Voters on Sunday, March 19 where the panel will
discuss housing in Iowa City.
Sarah Barren of the Affordable Housing Coalition invites interested Commissioners to a panel discussion
on Friday, March 23 at noon at the County Health Services Building. Lehmann reminded the Commission
they need to avoid a quorum if possible so please sign up.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Objectives & Outcomes
The City of Iowa City's Annual Action Plan articulates funding decisions for the next year of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds according
to the long-term goals established in CITY STEPS, the city’s 2016-2020 Consolidated Plan. CITY STEPS was
guided by three overarching goals that apply according to community needs:
x To provide decent housing by preserving the affordable housing stock, increasing the availability
of affordable housing, reducing discriminatory barriers, increasing the supply of supportive
housing for those with special needs and transitioning homeless persons and families into
housing.
x To provide a suitable living environment through safer, more livable neighborhoods, greater
integration of low- and moderate-income residents throughout the city, increased housing
opportunities and reinvestment in deteriorating neighborhoods.
x To expand economic opportunities through more jobs paying self-sufficient wages,
homeownership opportunities, development activities that promote long-term community
viability and the empowerment of low- and moderate-income persons to achieve self-
sufficiency.
Focus of the Plan
As required by the federal government, the identification of needs and the adoption of strategies to
address those needs must focus primarily on low- and moderate-income (LMI) individuals and
households. Consolidated plans must also address the needs of persons with “special needs” such as the
elderly, persons with disabilities, large families, single parents and homeless individuals and families.
Needs and proposed strategies must fit within the following three areas: housing, homelessness, and
community development.
Priorities
Iowa City is committed to allocating funds that serve the needs of low-to-moderate income residents.
Households with less than 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI), especially those with extremely low
incomes (less than 30% AMI), are particular priorities. The City also identified special needs individuals
as among those who face the greatest challenges and who should receive high priority in the
expenditure of federal funds, including at-risk children and youth, low income families, the homeless
and persons threatened with homelessness, victims of domestic violence, the elderly, and persons with
disabilities.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Based upon outreach efforts, the following community development and housing needs were
determined to have a high priority and will continue to be an emphasis of CDBG and HOME funding:
Housing
x Non-student renter households making less than 50% AMI
x Persons and families at-risk for homelessness
x Owner-occupied housing units (elderly, small family, special needs)
Public Services
x Homeless Services
x Transportation Services
x Child Care Services
x Mental Health
x Food Banks
x Domestic Violence (recommended by the Housing and Community Development Commission
10/30/2017)
Public Facilities and Improvements
x Facility improvements to the structures housing the public service providers
Economic Development
x Micro-enterprise development
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to
another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs
assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
Based on guidance provided by HUD, the following performance measurement system is utilized by the
City of Iowa City. Simply stated, performance measurement is an organized process for gathering
information to determine how well programs and activities are meeting established needs and goals.
This information provides a common format to summarize program outcomes at the national level. For
each activity funded, the City must determine the goal of the activity based on local intent, identify one
objective and outcome for each activity, input the data into IDIS, and report on applicable indicators in
IDIS and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). Each activity must have
an outcome statement, which in its most basic form is the activity’s objective plus outcome.

CFY 2019 (FFY 2018)

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Three specific objectives are relative to each activity funded:
1. Creating (or Enhancing) Suitable Living Environments. Applicable to activities that are designed
to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment.
This objective relates to activities intended to address a wide range of issues faced by low- and
moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment to social issues such
as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services.
2. Providing Decent Housing. Applicable to housing programs where the purpose is to meet
individual family or community needs, and not programs where housing is an element of a
larger effort (such as would otherwise be applied under the “Suitable Living Environment”
Objective).
3. Creating Economic Development Opportunities. Applicable to activities that are related to
economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.
Three specific outcomes are relative to stated objectives:
1. Availability/Accessibility. Applicable to activities that make services, infrastructure, public
services, public facilities, housing or shelter available or accessible to low- and moderate-income
people, including persons with disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to
physical barriers, but also to making the affordable basics of daily living available and accessible
to low- and moderate-income people.
2. Affordability. Applicable to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low- and
moderate-income people. It can include the creation or maintenance or affordable housing,
basic infrastructure hook-ups, or services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an
appropriate objective whenever an activity is lowering the cost, improving the quality, or
increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a low-income household.
3. Sustainability. Applicable to activities or services that are aimed at improving communities or
neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to low- and
moderate-income persons or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas.
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or
projects.
The City of Iowa City’s past performance in the administration and implementation of the CDBG and
HOME programs has fulfilled the spirit and intent of the federal legislation creating these programs. The
City has facilitated affordability for decent housing, availability and accessibility to a suitable living
environment, sustainability of a suitable living environment, and accessibility to economic opportunities.
Each year, the City submits a CAPER to HUD, reporting on the activities that were funded with CDBG and
HOME dollars, the amount spent, and the beneficiaries assisted. The City has submitted the required
DRAFT - Annual Action Plan
CFY 2019 (FFY 2018)

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
reports each year, and HUD has accepted the reports each year. Electronic versions of the City's past
CAPER reports can be found on the City's website at www.iowa-city.org/actionplan.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
Summary from citizen participation section of plan.
Throughout the year, the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) holds public
hearings to oversee the operation of Neighborhood Services (formerly the Community Development
Division) and the Iowa City Housing Authority, monitor CDBG and HOME projects, and listen to public
input into these and other programs. Staff also attends events to solicit additional input, such as the IC
Compassion Back-to-School event.
The City of Iowa City’s current 5-year Consolidated Plan was adopted in May 2015. Numerous public
meetings and hearings were held to solicit public comment regarding the development of the Iowa
City’s 2016-2020 Consolidated Plan (a.k.a. CITY STEPS) plan in accordance with the City’s Citizen
Participation Plan. The City ensured broad public participation in the development of CITY STEPS. The
stakeholders invited to participate in the process are detailed in the Plan.
HCDC and the City Council held numerous meetings for the preparation of this Annual Action Plan and
other HUD related documents. The public has been invited to participate in all meetings and efforts
were made to encourage and increase citizen participation. A chronology of the events, meetings, public
hearings and actions taken in relation to the Annual Action Plan and CITY STEPS are contained in Section
A-12 Participation.
5. Summary of public comments
This could be a brief narrative summary or reference an attached document from the Citizen
Participation section of the Con Plan.
A 30-day public comment period regarding the draft Annual Action Plan was provided per the adopted
Citizen Participation Plan. The draft Annual Action Plan was discussed in multiple public meetings of the
Housing and Community Development Commission, as well as made available online and distributed to
subscribers of the City's email listserv. Comments received, if any, and staff response can be found in
Appendix A.

7. Summary
Other Resources and Leverage
Iowa City is fortunate to have active and vital organizations that provide housing and supportive services
within the community. As such, multiple resources (federal, state, local and private) are available for
activities including housing, jobs and human services. In addition to these funds, other resources like
donations and volunteers are utilized.
According to the applications, the City estimates leveraging more than $2.2 million in other funds for the
upcoming fiscal year. In addition, other municipal resources such as general fund expenditures,
infrastructure improvements, and tax exemptions may be used to meet the City’s HOME match liability.
Additional resources include in-kind donations, volunteers, foundations, and businesses. The following
are organizations, groups, and resources identified as contributing to past and current CDBG and HOME
projects:
x Private funds (donations and loans)
x Public funds (federal and state)
x United Way
x Johnson County
x In-kind donations (skilled labor, goods, materials, waived fees)
x Volunteers
x City of Iowa City
x Iowa Finance Authority (Low Income Housing Tax Credits)
Private banks and lending institutions also often provide significant capital to both CDBG and HOME
projects. Both the City and local organizations recognize this mutually beneficial relationship. To
promote the goals and objectives of CITY STEPS, all parties have taken steps to strengthen and expand
our partnerships.
Actual leverage and HOME match figures will depend on the outcomes of the projects proposed in this
annual action plan. Upon completion of this year's projects the exact amount of other resources
leveraged by these projects will be known and included within the CAPER.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
The City of Iowa City consults with a variety of public and private entities during the development and
adoption of the Consolidated Plan and subsequent Annual Action Plans. This includes regular contact
throughout each year with current and past recipients of CDBG and HOME funding who carry out
housing, public facilities, and public service activities. In addition, citizen participation remains integral
to the ongoing management and oversight of housing and community development funds. City Council
appoints nine residents to the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) to assess Iowa
City's community development needs for housing, jobs, and services for low-to-moderate income
residents and to promote public and private efforts to meet such needs. HCDC provides a regular
opportunity for public participation in the planning and management of CDBG and HOME funds. HCDC's
bylaws also require representation, when possible, from persons with expertise in construction and
finance and one member that receives rental assistance.
Because of these open lines of communication, and through participation and leadership in local and
regional partnerships, the City maintains an active understanding of changing conditions, including new
programs and services, changes to existing services and the economy, and current housing needs.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City of Iowa City actively strives to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing
providers and private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies. The following
examples showcase these efforts:
x Public Health: The City of Iowa City recognizes the interconnected nature of community
development, housing, and the physical and mental health of residents. For that reason, the City
helped spearhead the INVEST Health initiative through a partnership with the University of Iowa
College of Public Health, the Housing Fellowship, and University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
INVEST Health emphasizes making changes in low-income neighborhoods to improve resident
health and well-being by bringing community development, public health, housing providers,
and health service providers together to discuss and address disparities in health outcomes for
low income residents. The City especially recognizes the importance of housing for physical and
mental well-being, leading to a collaboration with Shelter House to create the first "Housing
First" homeless shelter in the State of Iowa. This facility will pair 24 apartments with on-site
rooms for case managers and partnering health and behavioral health clinicians. Additional
affordable housing projects often showcase this same interdisciplinary approach.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
x Affordable Housing: The City works with numerous nonprofit and for-profit entities providing
permanent and temporary affordable housing. CDBG and HOME funds directly help nonprofit
and for-profit developers create and improve affordable housing options for low-to-moderate
income residents. These projects typically leverage significant public and private dollars,
including Low Income Housing Tax Credits, private investments, and other resources. Many of
the affordable housing units funded by HOME and CDBG also provide supportive services that
meet the physical and mental health needs of residents due to the high need for these kinds of
housing options. In addition, the City generates affordable housing through its Tax Increment
Financing policies and Inclusionary Zoning requirements in the Riverfront Crossings area.
x Public and Assisted Housing: The Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA) administers housing
vouchers awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from the
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, in addition to managing the City's public housing stock
and other assistance programs. As part of the Department of Neighborhood and Development
Services, ICHA regularly meets with staff administering CDBG and HOME funds to discuss
current needs and issues and partners on community development and affordable housing
efforts.
x Public Services: The City of Iowa City regularly funds agencies that meet the public service needs
of the community through CDBG, HOME, and alternative funding sources.
x Intergovernmental Coordination: The City strives to coordinates efforts with surrounding local
jurisdictions, Johnson County, and regional groups such as the East Central Iowa Council of
Governments.
The City also partners with the following entities to achieve the goals of the Consolidated Plan:
x Charm Homes, Inc.
x Crisis Center of Johnson County
x Domestic Violence Intervention Program
x Goodwill Industries of the Heartland
x Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity
x Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County
x The Housing Fellowship
x Iowa City Transit
x Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce
x Mayor's Youth Empowerment Program
x Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County
x Prelude Behavioral Services
x Successful Living
x Shelter House
x Systems Unlimited, Inc.
x Local lending institutions

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The Consolidated Plan's homeless strategy includes the City undertaking extensive consultation as part
of its consolidated planning efforts, particularly through collaboration with the Johnson County Local
Homeless Coordinating Board (LHCB) Continuum of Care's planning process. The LHCB represents over
25 agencies in Iowa City that provide services to the homeless and low income persons in Johnson
County. The City works closely with the LHCB to increase coordination between housing providers,
health, and service agencies in addressing the needs of persons that are chronically homeless.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The City of Iowa City does not receive ESG funds. Rather, funding for agencies that serve Iowa City
residents access funding through the State of Iowa.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The City of Iowa City greatly values the participation of its residents, organizations, and others interest in community development. To that end, the City adopted a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) to help the public join in the development of the 5-year Consolidated Plan, each Annual Action Plan, Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report, and the City's Assessment of Fair Housing. The CPP includes requirements for the length of public comment periods, when to hold public hearings, and when public notices must be published. As mentioned earlier, the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) plays a key role in the resident participation process. HCDC holds regular public meetings, collect comments, and provide forums for the annual review of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans. In addition, other groups such as the Local Homeless Coordinating Board and the Iowa City Housing Authority are asked to participate in the ongoing planning process. Through these efforts, the City of Iowa City sets its goals and priorities for community development and identifies and funds projects to further these goals. The following is a brief timeline of public involvement for this Annual Action Plan: x Workshop: Aid to Agencies Workshop for potential applicants (8/17/17) x Deadline: Aid to Agencies applications due (9/7/17) x Workshop: CDBG/HOME Workshop for potential applicants (1/4/18) x Public Meeting: HCDC recommended Aid to Agency awards to City Council (1/18/18) x Deadline: CDBG/HOME applications due (1/19/18) x Public Meeting: HCDC discussed CDBG/HOME applications with applicants (2/15/18) x Public Meeting: HCDC recommended CDBG/HOME awards to City Council (3/15/18) x Notice: 30-day comment period began on draft Annual Action Plan and notice was published in the Iowa City Press-Citizen (4/13/18) x Public Meeting: HCDC recommended draft Annual Action Plan to City Council (4/19/18) x Notice: Public meeting notice published in the Iowa City Press-Citizen (5/1/18) x Deadline: 30-day comment period on draft Annual Action Plan expired (5/15/18) x Public Meeting: City Council held public meeting on draft Annual Action Plan, followed by passing a resolution approving it (5/15/18)

Depending on the actual applications received these other leveraged funds could include low-income housing tax credits; local, State, and other Federal funds; and private equity. The City actively encourages applicants and subrecipients to obtain other public and private resources that address needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. For example, most affordable housing acquisition projects include private financing. In FY17, the City of Iowa City and its subrecipients leveraged CDBG and HOME funds at a rate of $2.61 in non-formula funds for every $1.00 of formula funds. The CDBG program does not have federal match requirements, but leveraging for the HOME and CDBG programs helps stretch limited resources for low- and moderate-income populations. The City does not require matching funds for owner occupied rehabilitation projects funded through the housing rehabilitation process. The City currently has a balance of excess matching funds that can be applied to projects in the future. In addition, matching funds are required for unit production activities. These requirements are typically met through the receipt of non-federal grant funds and tax benefit programs by the developers. The HOME program matching requirements are discussed under the HOME section of this report.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
When the City has available property that would be appropriate for redevelopment, from time to time it
offers these lots to other entities for development, including both for profit and nonprofit developers. In
the event land is offered to a developer, the terms of the transfer are evaluated based on the need for
the development, the cash flow of the proposed development, and the ability of the receiving entity to
pay. Depending on the outcome of this evaluation, the land may be sold or donated to the receiving
entity according to terms negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Past examples include the donation of
foreclosed homes to nonprofit groups for rehabilitation and resale, the donation of single family lots for
the construction of affordable homes, and the transfer of commercial land for the construction of
affordable rental units.
The City owns property in the central business district that allows the city flexibility in developing and
encouraging affordable housing units and employment opportunities. Projects currently underway
include developing an existing surface parking lot at Iowa Avenue and Gilbert Street, The Chauncey
project at 404 East College Street, as well as 435 South Linn Street. As a condition of the sale for each
property, the City required affordable housing units in all three developments. The City has also
allocated over $600,000 in general funds for land banking for affordable housing and is in the process of
reviewing properties to purchase.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The primary obstacle to meeting the underserved needs is the limited resources available to address
priorities. Iowa City, like many cities across Iowa, has needs that far outstrip the funds available for
housing and community development projects. However, the City has sought to increase local support
for such projects through policies, programs, and additional local funding and to pursue outside grant
funds as well.

Estimate the
number and type
of families that
will benefit from
the proposed
activities
HUD does not require the reporting of beneficiary data for planning and
administration activities. It should be noted, however, that the housing, economic
development, and public service activities that are undertaken with CDBG and
HOME funds serve, on average, between 1,000 and 3,000 individuals, households,
and businesses per year. Without the planning and administration funds available
to carry out required planning, environmental, monitoring and oversight activities,
none of these activities would be able to receive CDBG and HOME funds and none
of the beneficiaries would be able to be served.
Location
Description
Planning and Administration activities will be undertaken by City staff at Iowa City
City Hall.
Planned Activities Funds will be used to coordinate, administer, and monitor the CDBG program;
prepare reports and plans required by HUD, and to prepare Section 106 and
environmental reviews and historic preservation studies.

Goals Supported Improve/maintain public infrastructure/amenities

Description Improvements to the built environment that enhance the quality-of-life for
residents earning less than 80 percent AMI.
Target Date 6/29/2019
Estimate the number
and type of families
that will benefit from
the proposed activities
Because the beneficiaries are dependent on the area to be served,
beneficiaries cannot be estimated until the areas to be assisted have been
identified. For a placeholder in this plan, three hundred persons per year
has been used. It is important to note, however, that this is only an estimate
and actual number assisted may vary.
In any given year, the ability to complete infrastructure projects is
dependent on funds available, eligible projects coming forward, and
availability of public works staff and contractors to carry out the projects.
Infrastructure projects may not be completed every year. In this plan, a
placeholder of $75,000 is being used to ensure that funds are available in
the event an appropriate project comes forward.
Location Description Funding is available in low-to-moderate income areas, however, because
infrastructure in older parts of the City is older, funds will be concentrated
in these areas. With limited funding available, infrastructure funding will
likely be located in these areas.
Planned Activities Infrastructure and area benefits to benefit low to moderate households and
areas, as allowed by CDBG regulations. This could include (but is not limited
to), blight removal, improvements to streets, sidewalks, gutters, sewer,
alleys, parks, etc.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Though funds are available city-wide, the City of Iowa City strives to invest its CDBG and HOME funds in
areas primarily impacted by non-student low- to moderate-income (LMI) persons. Several of the City’s
LMI census areas are located downtown and include rental housing stock that is predominantly
occupied by University of Iowa students. While resources other than CDBG and HOME funds may be
used in these areas to maintain and preserve housing, infrastructure, and public services, the City’s
CDBG and HOME funds are focused in areas that are home to families, the elderly, the disabled, and the
homeless.
In order to achieve the greatest impact possible from the limited federal funds available, the City
intends to allocate its non-housing community development resources primarily to projects that will
have a focused neighborhood impact, as opposed to infrastructure projects of more dispersed expected
benefit.
The City’s provision of funding for new construction an d acquisition of affordable housing is governed by
its Affordable Housing Location Model. The model mathematically combines three factors, including
distance to existing subsidized family rental housing, elementary school poverty, and crime density, and
sets threshold scores below which funding for new city-assisted rental housing is not be available
(excluding units reserved for the elderly or disabled). This serves three goals of the City:
x Avoiding further burden on neighborhoods and elementary schools that already have issues
related to a concentration of poverty,
x Promoting diverse neighborhoods in terms of income levels, and
x Incorporating factors important to the Iowa City Community School District in affordable
housing siting as it relates to educational outcomes.
The affordable housing location model, now cited as a best practice, has successfully achieved its
intended objective of not placing additional assisted rental housing in areas of concentrated poverty and
other factors. The City does not restrict the location of funding for owner-occupied housing or for rental
rehabilitation, nor does it restrict the location of funding for projects for the elderly or persons with
disabilities.

Geographic Distribution

Citywide 100
Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
In light of the limited amount of funds available to the City, not all of the City’s housing and community
development needs can be addressed over the next five years. Therefore, priorities must be established
to ensure that scarce resources are directed to the most pressing housing and community development
needs. The following two points indicate the rationale behind the City's city-wide availability of funds
with certain restrictions:
1. Neighborhood-Level Focus: Addressing non-housing community development needs in non-
student low- and moderate-income neighborhoods reflects the City's desire to create positive
and lasting living environments despite limited funds. By focusing on non-student areas, those
most in need of assistance can receive it.
2. Specific Geographic Targeting: Targeting new family rental housing to different areas according
to the Affordable Housing Location Model reflects the need to affirmatively further fair housing
by directing this type of development to a broader range of neighborhoods, while combating
existing segregated settlement patterns. This prevents a concentration of poverty from being
reinforced in certain geographical areas.
Therefore, while funds are available city-wide, staff often tries to cluster public facility and services
investment in focused low- to moderate-income neighborhoods for increased effect while locating
additional affordable homes in areas without concentrations of poverty. Applying these priorities city-
wide allows flexibility in selecting projects.
Discussion
The City has some programs targeted to specific geographic areas, but the City does not do so with its
more general CDBG and HOME projects.

Introduction
The City uses both HOME and CDBG funds to create new affordable housing opportunities and to
rehabilitate existing housing units. Special needs populations are often served through the acquisition
and/or rehabilitation of existing structures for rental housing. The homeless population is primarily
served through assistance grants to local service providers. Because of this, homeless populations do
not have easily quantifiable housing goals.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA) works to improve the quality of life for clients, acting as a
community leader on affordable housing by providing information and education, housing assistance,
and public and private partnership opportunities. ICHA was established in 1969 to administer housing
assistance programs throughout Johnson County, Iowa County, and Washington County north of
Highway 92. Today, it is part of the City of Iowa City's Department of Neighborhood and Development
Services.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
ICHA has several actions planned during the next year to address the needs of public housing. ICHA
targets its available assistance to the disabled, elderly, and families with children under 18 residing
within its jurisdiction. Tenant-based rental assistance such as the Housing Choice Voucher Program
(HCVP) is targeted to those with household incomes under 30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI)
and public housing units to those with incomes under 80 percent AMI. The ICHA strives to maximize
HCVP and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) budget authority and voucher utilization and
lease-up rates for public housing.
The HCV Homeownership program permits eligible participants the option of purchasing a home with
HCV assistance rather than renting. Public Housing tenants are eligible for a Special Admission to the
HCV Homeownership program if they have lived in a Public Housing unit longer than one year and their
total tenant payment (TTP) is higher than $499. In 2017, ICHA administered approximately 1,298
vouchers.
The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program promotes self-sufficiency and asset development by providing
supportive services to participants to increase their employability, to increase the number of employed
participants, and to encourage increased savings through an escrow savings program. This program is
designed to work with households on a 5-year plan to attain financial self-sufficiency as well as provide
rental assistance.
Public housing provides affordable, decent, and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families,
elderly persons, and persons with disabilities. ICHA owns and manages 81 public housing units with the
support of HUD. These units are low-density and constructed to conform to and blend with the existing
neighborhood architecture. They represent less than one percent of the total number of rental units in
the City of Iowa City.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
Timeline and Analysis of the Housing Authority’s efforts to create a Resident Advisory Board (RAB)
In March 2009, ICHA surveyed all active Public Housing tenants and Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS)
program participants (211 families) to identify interest in serving on a Resident Advisory Board (RAB). 26
families responded. In May 2009, ICHA sent the 26 interested survey respondents a copy of the survey
used to collect citizen input for CITY STEPS, Iowa City’s Consolidated Plan for Housing, Jobs, and Services
for Low-Income Residents 2010 – 2015. 8 families responded.
In June 2008, flooding severely damaged ICHA’s Public Housing unit in the 500-year floodplain at 608
Eastmoor, Iowa City. Due to the City of Iowa City’s intent to purchase all properties located the 100- and
500-year floodplains, ICHA submitted a Demolition/Disposition application to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD requires RAB input/comment for Demolition/Disposition
applications. The 26 respondents to the survey were contacted in October 2010 to submit input and
comments, but none responded.
In December 2014, ICHA again surveyed all active Public Housing tenants (75 families) to determine
interest in serving on an RAB. 7 families responded, 3 stating an interest and 4 stating no interest.
Recommendations submitted by Resident Advisory Board (RAB) were analyzed and decisions were made
based on these recommendations.
ICHA-participating families show very little interest in serving on an RAB focusing solely on ICHA
programs and services. Most comments received via the 3 separate survey instruments are beyond the
scope, power, and authority of the ICHA to impact, or other City Departments and Community-Based
Agencies are better suited to meet these concerns. Examples include fixing streets, repairing abandoned
homes, empowering neighborhoods, dealing with perception of City-wide increase in criminal activity,
safety, events, neighborhood development and clean up, etc.
ICHA and the City of Iowa City Neighborhood Services will continue the "Good Neighbors—Strong
Neighborhoods" initiative launched in 2008. The idea is to partner with Neighborhood Associations to
develop strategies that promote the peaceful enjoyment of the neighborhood for all residents. The goal
is increased participation of ICHA clients in activities sponsored by the City of Iowa City's Neighborhood
Associations.
Through the Office of Neighborhood Services, the City of Iowa City supports and encourages
neighborhood action and provides ideas and resources that can help shape the future of a
neighborhood. The City coordinates with Neighborhood Associations to work through their short and
long-term needs that best serve the interests of the neighborhood within the goals of the larger
community. The City of Iowa City also provides assistance by providing information to neighborhoods
through social media and meeting notices.

HUD has continually ranked ICHA as a "High Performance" housing authority and has not designated
ICHA as troubled.
Discussion
In the next year, ICHA expects to take possession of 11 affordable units in downtown Iowa City due to
recent Tax Increment Financing projects that require a portion of the units to be affordable.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
As a participant in the Johnson County Local Homeless Coordinating Board (JCLHCB), the City is a partner
in its plan to address homelessness and the priority needs of homeless individuals and families, including
homeless subpopulations. During FFY2018, the City’s federal funds will continue to support programs to
provide decent and safe living environments for homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless,
through funding such activities as emergency shelter operations, financial assistance for rent, utilities
and other critical expenses, and rapid re-housing. The City will maintain support for JCLHCB, the region’s
Continuum of Care (CoC) organization.
The City will contribute CDBG, General Fund, and utility revenues to help assist local service agencies
provide services. Non-profit agencies will apply through the United Way Joint Funding process to access
these funds. Applicants can apply for Iowa City's Aid to Agency funds, in addition to those for United
Way, Johnson County, and Coralville funds, all under one application. Each funding entity determines
how they will allocate the funds they contributed.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing
their individual needs
The City’s strategies as they specifically relate to reaching out to homeless persons and understanding
their individual needs include:
Advocate human services coordination
x Pursue a single application for service system entry
x Pursue the formation of a local computerized system that connect clients with services, serves
as a database, and provides inter-agency referrals
x Support the Local Homeless Coordinating Board (LHCB)
Increase understanding of issues surrounding Johnson County homelessness
x Conduct a study of rural homelessness coordinated with Metropolitan Planning Organization of
Johnson County (MPOJC) to determine the level of unmet need, formulate outreach efforts, and
support requests for additional funding.
x Conduct a survey to determine community attitudes surrounding affordable housing and
homeless organizations and participants.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
In light of the limited amount of CDBG and HOME funds available to the City, not all of the area’s
homeless needs can be addressed using federal funds. The City does not receive Emergency Solutions
Grant (ESG) or HOPWA entitlement funds from HUD to assist with homeless needs, and it relies on a
variety of community agencies to provide basic needs assistance and other support for the local
homeless population.
However, the City will continue to support the JCLHCB in FFY18, and it will continue to implement
strategies related specifically to addressing emergency and transitional housing needs for the homeless,
including:
Expand/Rehabilitate Emergency Shelter
x Improve and maintain existing shelter facilities
x Support expansion or addition of facilities to meet increased demand
x Expand staff within existing system to provide improved service
x Support the FUSE Housing First project
Support plans for improving day shelter opportunities
x Expand available services such as social/case worker availability, facilities, childcare
opportunities, improved public and private transportation access, and showers
x Supported Training and Access to Resources (STAR) program continuation
Improve transitional housing programs for families
x Continue to develop scattered site, transitional housing programs requiring participation in
supportive services
x Provide transitional housing for single individuals
x Continue to develop Single Room Occupancy (SRO) housing units for persons living alone with
access to supportive services
x Continue support of transitional housing for unaccompanied youth
Provide special needs transitional housing
x Continue to support the development of transitional housing for persons with mental illness.
x Provide services to support special needs populations in non-facility based care environments

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The Continuum of Care (CoC) addresses the housing and supportive services needs in each stage of the
CoC process to help homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent
living. The City will continue to support the CoC strategy to meet the needs of homeless persons and
those at risk of becoming homeless.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
In recent years, Iowa City has allocated the maximum amount of CDBG funding possible to public
services to assist human service organizations. To the extent possible, the City will provide support to
the system of facilities and service providers described in the homeless inventory. ICHA locally
administers efforts that assist in homelessness prevention, including the Housing Choice Voucher
program and administration of 81 units of public housing for residents who are low-income, very low-
income, and extremely low-income.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The City of Iowa City finalized an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice in March 2014. The
impediments identified, along with recommendations to address the impediments, are outlined in SP-
55. In the upcoming year, the City will update the analysis.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The City is actively involved in presenting to organizations in the region to educate persons about what
is affordable housing and who needs it. Presentations will continue during CFY19. The City will also
support the Local Homeless Coordinating Board’s efforts to develop a campaign to educate the
community on affordable housing and put a face on who needs affordable housing.
The City will support the rehabilitation of existing rental units in low income neighborhoods and work
with private property owners to preserve affordable housing throughout neighborhoods in Iowa
City. The City will also continue to review City and CDBG/HOME-supported housing to ensure it meets
the City’s Affordable Housing Design Guidelines. Quality design and neighborhood compatibility will
assist with neighborhood and community acceptance of affordable housing. In addition, the City will
continually reevaluate parts of the Affordable Housing Location Model based on its implementation.
In the Riverfront Crossings district, the City will continue to support higher density development under
the condition that it provides some affordable housing. This, paired with affordable housing
requirements for Tax Increment Financing projects and the new land bank, will help provide additional
affordable housing opportunities.
Finally, the City will work with the Human Rights Coordinator to provide Fair Housing updates to educate
local commissions and boards, especially the Housing and Community Development Commission.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
The following section provides information about the additional actions being undertaken by the City of
Iowa City related to community development.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
Iowa City has a long history of successfully implementing HUD funded programs. Serving the needs of
the City’s various special needs population drives the city’s consolidated planning efforts. Addressing the
needs of the homeless and special needs populations are high priorities for use of resources within Iowa
City.
Due to limited funding and the prospect of reduced funding in future years, the following considerations
will be made when determining whether to fund a project:
1. The project must be an identified CITY STEPS priority. Applicant must document the ability of
the project to address the specific need.
2. The project budget is justified and leverages other financial resources, including human
resources. Applicant must document efforts to obtain outside funding as well.
3. The project has a measurable impact in the community. The project primarily targets low-
income persons, utilizes community partnerships, and provides adequate benefits in relation to
costs.
4. The applicant can maintain regulatory compliance. Applicant must demonstrate it has strong
financial skills, administrative capacity to complete a federal grant, and the ability to complete
the project within the required time period.
The City will continue to work with area social service agencies and providers to address obstacles to
meeting underserved needs. Declining resources have been the key impediment to addressing needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City will continue to support its goals of maintaining and expanding affordable housing by utilizing
its CDBG and HOME allocations to create new opportunities for affordable rental and homeownership
and rehabilitate existing affordable units. The GRIP program will continue providing $200,000 annually
for low- to moderate-income homeowners to rehabilitate their properties. The UniverCity Program will
continue as funds are available, and new programs such as the South District Home Investment
Partnership will further support these goals.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City will continue to ensure compliance with the HUD lead-based paint regulations that implement
Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, which covers the CDBG and HOME
programs, among others. The State of Iowa passed legislation in 2009 to certify renovators who work in
housing and child-occupied facilities and to require all children entering kindergarten to be tested for
lead poisoning.
The City's housing rehabilitation programs will continue to implement all aspects of the lead-based paint
regulations. In its efforts to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards in all of its CDBG and HOME
funded rehabilitation projects, the City provides information and outreach on the dangers of lead-based
paint, as well as guidance in the identification and reduction of lead-based paint hazards to all program
participants. Blood level tests may be paid through the Housing Rehabilitation program for
targeted populations such as children under seven when needed.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City, Housing Authority, and the Johnson County Local Homeless Coordinating Board work together
to address homeless and poverty issues. In addition to the activities outlined in the Annual Action Plan,
the Housing Authority provides supportive services and coordination with the agencies making up the
Local Homeless Coordinating Board to support families and individuals achieve their highest level of self-
sufficiency.
With respect to economic development, the City has had a long-term partnership with the Iowa City
Area Development Group (ICAD) and the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce. ICAD is a private non-
profit organization whose mission is to position the region as a quality place to work. ICAD works as a
confidential advocate for expanding businesses and new industries. ICAD helps businesses pursue state
and local financial assistance and serves as a liaison between the City, the Iowa Economic Development
Authority, the University of Iowa and other entities. The Chamber of Commerce works to enhance the
business climate in Johnson County and provides educational programs on customer service, human
resources, and other issues relevant to small businesses. The City also utilizes the Small Business
Development Center (SBDC) to provide technical assistance for early stage entrepreneurs.
Starting in FY03, the City set aside CDBG funds to promote economic development. Funds primarily
support gap financing or start-up capital to micro-ente rprises or small business creating jobs for low and
moderate income persons. These funds are available throughout the year, instead of a once a year
funding cycle to allow greater flexibility and attract a greater number of applicants. Loans have been
provided to bakeries, restaurants, small construction contractors, craft retail stores, salons, fitness
studios, and more. These are further supported by groups such as the SBDC, ICAD, the Chamber of
Commerce, and local financial partners.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City undertakes extensive consultation as part of its consolidated planning effort, particularly in
association with the Johnson County Local Homeless Coordinating Board (JCLHCB) Continuum of Care’s
planning process. The JCLHCB represents over 25 agencies in Iowa City providing services to the
homeless and low-income persons in Johnson County. The City works closely with the JCLHCB to
increase coordination between housing providers, health, and service agencies in addressing the needs
of persons that are chronically homeless.
The City facilitates coordination among its partner agencies that results in a broadly shared
understanding of community needs, collaborative and complementary approaches to addressing needs,
and responsiveness to changes in conditions. Additionally, resources such as Aid to Agencies and City
General Funds available for economic development indicate a real commitment to leveraging all
possible resources to meet needs.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City created a citizen advisory group, the Housing and Community Development Commission
(HCDC), in 1995, to assess Iowa City’s community development needs for housing, jobs and services for
low and moderate income residents, and to promote public and private efforts to meet such needs.
HCDC leads the CDBG/HOME allocation process to determine what projects will be awarded funds based
on priorities established in CITY STEPS. Each year the City and HCDC reviews applications on a
competitive basis.
Fragmentation and duplication of services in Iowa City is a minor obstacle due to the communication
and coordination of existing service providers. Service providers are members of the Johnson County
Local Homeless Coordinating Board and participate in the local Continuum of Care planning.

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)
1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is
as follows:
The City offers the General Rehab Improvement Program (GRIP) to provide low interest loans to
income eligible homeowners to rehabilitate their homes. Approximately $200,000 in general
obligation funds are allocated annually for this program. The City also continues to administer the
UniverCity program, focusing on neighborhoods located near the University campus that retain a
single family character and a demand for single family housing, but that also have a large renter
population. The City purchases rental homes that are rehabilitated and sold, some of which are
restricted to homeowners under 80% of median income. The City allocated $180,000 for the
program to purchase, rehabilitate, and resell 3 homes in CFY19.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used
for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
Iowa City has adopted the following recapture or resale provisions when HOME funds are used to
create affordable housing. Recapture guidelines are used for any homebuyer activity where the
client receives direct financial assistance (including any assistance that reduces the purchase price
from the fair market value to an affordable price) and resale is used when the homeowner does not
receive direct financial assistance.
Recapture Provision
A recapture provision of HOME regulations pursuant to CFR Part 24 92.254(a)(5)(ii) will be used
when HOME-funded assistance is provided to reduce the selling price of a home from appraised
value to one of affordability for people with incomes at or below 80% of the area median income
(AMI) as determined by HUD. This will include an affordability period based on the amount of HOME
funds used as indicated in the following table. If down payment assistance will be provided, that
amount will be added to the total amount to determine the affordability period.
x Less than $15,000: 5 years
x $15,000 to $40,000:10 years
x Greater than $40,000: 15 years
Upon sale of the home, the net proceeds (sale price, minus superior loan repayment and closing
costs) shall be distributed proportionately between the City, up to the Principal Amount, and the
Buyer (Shared Net Proceeds). The City and/or HUD are not responsible for covering negative net
proceeds. The Principal Amount shall be forgiven after the affordability period identified in the
Recapture Agreement ends if the homeowner remains in compliance with their written agreement.

Resale Provision
A resale provision deed restriction will be used with an affordability period based on the amount of
HOME funds provided per the following table when HOME funds are used for a construction
subsidy.
x Less than $15,000: 5 years
x $15,000 to $40,000:10 years
x Greater than $40,000: 15 years
The affordability period begins with the original HOME-assisted owner’s closing date. If the home
does not continue to be the principal residence of the buyer during the affordability period, then the
housing will be sold only to a buyer whose family income does not exceed 80% AMI. The City will
target homeowners between 60 to 80% AMI. The buyer shall use the home as their principal
residence. The purchase price may not exceed 95% of the median purchase price for single family
housing in the Iowa City MSA as determined by HUD for new or existing housing.
The original HOME-assisted owner is entitled to a fair return on investment (homebuyer’s down
payment plus capital improvements made to the house). The City will determine the original
homebuyer’s return on investment by using the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index
over the period of ownership. The value of capital improvements will be based on the actual costs of
the improvements as documented by the homeowner’s receipts. The City will determine if the sale
price meets said requirements and must approve the price before Buyers accept a purchase offer.
There may be a declining housing market where home values are depreciating. If the home is sold
for less or the same price as the original price, the original homebuyer may not receive a fair return
or any return on their investment. The City and/or HUD are not responsible for covering a loss on
the original homebuyer’s investment.

insured mortgage to HUD. Under the HOME program, certain requirements must be placed on
properties by means of deed restrictions or a recorded note and mortgage.

value to an affordable price) and resale is used when the homeowner does not receive direct
financial assistance. The City prefers to use the recapture provision, though it may use the resale
