Affordable housing is a contribut- ing factor to stabilizing families. Stable families are better equipped to take advantage of educational opportunities. Opportunities for and access to ad- vanced education and training increases employabil- ity. Sustainable employment offers opportunities to attain self-sufficiency. Economic self-sufficiency leads to a better society and strengthens the "sense of community." 1 yI /~~ Through our Self-Sufficiency programs, the Housing Authority is helping low income families bridge the economic gap by building assets, improving employ- ment opportunities, and transitioning from renters of units to owners of homes. The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program: Promotes self-sufficiency and asset development by providing supportive services to participants to in- crease their employability, to increase the number of employed participants, and to encourage increased savings through an escrow savings program. Current FSS Enrollment Data: • Total FSS participants = 137 • Participants with an escrow savings account = 93(68%) • Average monthly escrow savings deposit (participants with an escrow balance) _ $247 • Average escrow savings account balance (participants with an escrow balance) _ $1,605 • Highest escrow savings account balance = $20,751 Workshop Accreditations: • "A Framework for Understanding Poverty -Bridges out of Poverty": Na- tional Association of Social Workers Continuing Education (NASW CE) Approved. • "Money Smart": Federal Deposit and Insurance Corporation (FDIC). FSS Workshops Conducted: • Spring 2008: "Are You Getting Ahead, Or Just Getting By" • February 2009: "Show Me The Money". Collaborated with Credit Counsel- ing Services. Page 10 Annual Report-2009 Promoting Self-Sufficiency (Continued) Homebuyer Education Classes Conducted in Partnership with the Iowa Area Association of Realtors: • October 2008 • March 2009 FSS Homeownership: Through our FSS program, many families have used their escrow savings accounts and private mortgages to attain homeownership independent of the Housing Authority programs. Fifty-eight (58) FSS gradu- ates have moved to homeownership; forty-six (46) independent of the Hous- ing Authority Homeownership programs and twelve (I 2) participated in Hous- ing Authority Homeownership programs. Since 1998, one hundred and twelve (I 12) families became homeown- ers through their participation in the four (4) Iowa City Housing Au- thority Homeownership programs.

Johnson County Agencies (e.g., Community Mental Health, STAR Program, Elder Services, etc.) make referrals for applicants based on the following eligibility criteria: I . Applicants must meet income guidelines (at or below 60% of the area median household income) and provide written income verifica- tion. 2.

American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) -Total Grant Award = $191,853: The Federal Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) has agreed to provide ARRA assistance for the purpose of assisting the ICHA in carrying out Public Housing program capital and management activities. .These funds will supplement our existing Capital Fund Grants.

Housing Counseling Assistance Program -Grant Amount = $48,750: The Iowa City Housing Authority applied for and received grant funding in the amount of $55,384 from the Iowa Home Ownership Educa- tion Project (IHOEP) to create a Housing Counseling Assistance Program. This program supplements the existing Homebuyer Education Program operated in partnership with the Iowa Area Association of Realtors. The objectives of the program are to expand homeownership opportunities, improve access to affordable housing and preserve homeown- ership. These programs will result in participants becoming better informed and educated I st time homebuyers. Participating lenders have commented that it is obvious which homebuyers have parcicipated because they are prepared and knowledgeable, from the loan application to the home closing. The primary goal is to provide information regarding the "pros & cons" of homeownership, various loan products, fair lending/housing laws, how to identify and avoid "predatory lending" and the importance of a fair home appraisal. Page 14 Annual Report-2009 Calendar Year End Report: The ICHA achieved "High Performer" status for both the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) & Public Housing programs. The ICHA attained a year-end lease-up rate of 98%for both the HCV program and Public Housing programs. . Page I S Annual Report - 2009 Housing Authority Cash Balance Summary as reported in the FY2008 Audited Financial Submission to HUD.
