However, the median sales price per square foot only increased 8.3%, which suggests some of the increase is due to the size of homes.

While DOM increased this past year, these numbers still suggest many homes are selling relatively quickly, and there is a strong demand for housing compared to supply. May 1, Utility Expenses: The cost of utilities is an important 2023 Iowa Water and 2025 component of monthly housing expenditures. The Iowa Wastewater Rates Finance Authority (IFA) recently funded a dashboard that Dashboard, Environmental allows public utility providers in Iowa to compare water Finance Center at the and sewer rates from FY23.

While Iowa City's rates have increased since FY23, this highlights the comparative affordability of Iowa City's water and sewer service.

Item Number: IP5. a CITY OF IOWA CITY "QR T-4 COUNCIL ACTION REPORT May 29, 2025 Memo from Neighborhood Development Services Director: Affordable Housing Fund - Proposed Changes to the Distribution of Funds Attachments: Memo from NDS Director - Affordable Housing Fund - Proposed Changes to the Distribution of Funds CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM Date: May 22, 2025 To: Geoff Fruin, City Manager From: Tracy Hightshoe, Neighborhood & Development Services Director Re: Affordable Housing Fund — Proposed Changes to the Distribution of Funds In FY17 the City established an Affordable Housing Fund which dedicates local General Fund dollars for affordable housing projects and activities. The City uses a distribution formula to outline how funds will be utilized to support housing in our community. The distribution is updated periodically to reflect changing needs or priorities. Staff recommends the following changes to the distribution for FY26: FY2025 Distribution Proposed FY2026 Distribution Housing Trust Fund ($200k set aside for LIHTC) $700,000 Housing Trust Fund (includes LIHTC projects) $650,000 Opportunity Fund $21,000 Opportunity Fund (includes Healthy Homes) $61,840 Healthy Homes $45,000 Housing Placement Services ($80,000 Security Deposit / $30,000 Landlord Risk Mitigation) $110,000 Housing Placement Services ($100,000 Security Deposit / $30,000 Landlord Risk Mitigation) $130,000 Emergent Situation $50,000 Emergent Situation $50,000 Winter Shelter $104,000 Winter Shelter $108,160 Rationale for Distribution: Staff recommends removing the Low -Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) set -aside from the Housing Trust Fund (HTF) award. The set -aside is historically not enough incentive for these types of projects and most developers are accessing larger amounts of funds through the Housing Trust Fund. This would not necessarily require the HTF to change their process, but would eliminate them having to track those funds separately for two or more years. The HTF conducts quarterly allocation rounds. LIHTC developers may apply during any round for funds, but receive priority in the funding round leading up to the 9% LIHTC application deadline with the state. To ensure the HTF has adequate administrative funds, the 8% administrative fee on the entire award would be allowed. Previously, 8% of their regular award was allowed as an administrative fee and 5% was allowed for the LIHTC set -aside. Under this proposed budget their administrative fees would increase from $50,000 to $52,000. A consistent barrier to securing rental housing is the inability to afford upfront move -in costs, particularly security deposits. Local service providers have frequently reported that security deposits are among the most requested, but least funded, types of housing assistance. Funding for this program is chronically depleted before the end of the fiscal year. Staff recommends increasing these funds due to the ongoing demand for this assistance. May 27, 2025 Page 2 A description of the set asides is provided for your reference below Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County Provides no interest or below market loans to support affordable housing projects such as acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of affordable rental, owner occupied, and transitional housing as well as shelter facilities. The Housing Trust Fund accepts applications on a quarterly basis for housing projects that benefit households with incomes less than 80% of area median income. Most actual awards benefit households with incomes well below the 80% area median income threshold. City funds must support projects located in Iowa City and encourage housing and residential facilities throughout all neighborhoods in Iowa City. Loan funds repaid to the HTF are reinvested in new housing projects, maximizing the long-term impact of the City's investment. Opportunity Fund Funds set aside for affordable housing opportunities that arise throughout the year. Prior unutilized land banking funds (from original distribution formula) and unused funds from the Healthy Homes and Emergent Situations set asides are applied to the Opportunity Fund at the end of the fiscal year. The current balance of this set -aside is $254,509. The funds can be spent on the purchase of available land for affordable housing, housing acquisition and may also support activities that address the safety and accessibility of existing homes. Recent examples of housing activities utilizing Opportunity Funds include the construction of the 724 Ronalds St. home for the ICCSD Student Built House to be owned and rented for affordable housing by The Housing Fellowship, relocation assistance to Forest View residents not eligible for ARPA funds, and additional funding to the Security Deposit Assistance program administered by CommUnity Crisis Services during the pandemic. The City purchased a lot in the Lindemann subdivision with the former land banking funds. Partnering with the Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP), DVIP will construct up to six townhomes on the lot for those impacted by domestic violence transitioning to permanent housing using state HOME -ARP funds. In the last few years, we have seen a decline in the number of referrals from the school -based clinics and medical offices for children with asthma or other respiratory problems. Due to the reduced referrals, the City has used Healthy Homes funds for radon mitigation of affordable housing units and to assist CDBG, HOME or GRIP recipients improve indoor air quality if a resident in the home has a lung disorder, as verified by a medical professional. Due to the decreased referrals, these funds will be combined with the Opportunity Fund. When staff identify rehabilitation needs for low-income households that improve indoor air quality, provide accessibility for a person with disabilities, or address another critical need and no other funds are available, these funds may be utilized. Housing Placement Services Dedicated to programs that assist tenants with low incomes and those who find it difficult to find housing due to various reasons such as prior evictions, criminal histories or poor landlord references. Due to recent demand levels, the funds are typically depleted before the end of the fiscal year. Partnering with Shelter House, a landlord risk mitigation fund was capitalized with $60,000 (two years' worth of allocations). The funds provide a protection for landlords willing to rent to tenants with higher barriers to housing by covering excessive damages, lost rent or legal fees incurred beyond the security deposit, up to $3,500. The program began in July 2023 and to date, 24 tenants have been housed due to these funds. May 27, 2025 Page 3 If risk mitigation funds are not utilized in the prior year, the balance is applied to security deposit assistance. For example; if $5,000 is paid out in claims in FY25, in FY26 an additional $25,000 will be allocated to security deposit assistance and Shelter House will be paid $5,000 to restore the risk mitigation fund to $60,000. Emergent Situations Reserved for emergent situations where housing assistance is needed urgently, is the result of unforeseeable or unavoidable circumstances, are of recent origin and other funding opportunities are not available. The funds must go to a non-profit or governmental agency to administer. Individual requests are not eligible. Prior examples include financial assistance to Shelter House to relocate income qualified residents required to move due to a redevelopment project or a mobile home park closure, and funds to Habitat for Humanity to provide winterization of mobile homes. Winter Shelter Provides a temporary, low barrier shelter adjacent to the GuideLink Center for up to 40 additional beds for residents during the winter months. Shelter House operates the shelter for 15 weeks starting in December each year, maintains two employees present for all hours of operations, and has an employee with brain health and crisis services expertise available to serve the winter shelter exclusively. The City entered a five-year agreement with Shelter House for winter shelter that provides an inflationary increase each year. Each year the city will update the distribution to reflect the contracted commitment. Absent City Council direction on changes, Staff intends to move forward with this revised funding distribution, which will go in effect on July 1, 2025.

(Date) CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT October 1, 2024 Resolution approving a purchase agreement for 1002 North Summit Street and 1006 North Summit Street. Prepared By: Sam Turnbull, Grants Specialist Reviewed By: Erika Kubly, Neighborhood Services Coordinator Tracy Hightshoe, Neighborhood Development Services Director Fiscal Impact: The acquisition will encumber approximately $750,000 of ARPA funds. Staff Recommendation: Approval Commission Recommendations: NIA Attachments: Socioeconomic data maps for Summit Affordable Housing Heat Map Resolution Purchase Agreement Executive Summary: The City Council designated affordable housing as an ARPA funding priority. Council set aside approximately $1.7 million in funds for the acquisition of property or land to support permanent, affordable housing. Earlier this month, the City closed on three, three bedroom condos on Herbert Hoover Highway that will be operated as affordable housing and managed by the Iowa City Housing Authority. The City has a purchase agreement, contingent on Council approval, for the parcels located at 1002 &1006 N. Summit St. that would allow for the construction of future affordable housing. The City will exhaust the set -aside for affordable housing with these two purchases. Combined, the two acquisitions may contribute up to 39 units of permanent, affordable housing to our community. Background I Analysis: Staff hired a realtor to help us with site selection to acquire land for a future housing development. The City entered a purchase agreement subject to Council approval for the two parcels at 1002 and 1006 North Summit Street. The parcels meet several of the City's criteria for a site appropriate for City assisted housing. The location is in area that is considered "high -opportunity" for affordable housing through an analysis of socioeconomic factors and local data. On August 6, 2024, Iowa City's Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative Intern, Naomi Mehta, presented information to City Council on repositioning public housing. Her presentation discussed areas of opportunity that would be ideal to support affordable housing development. The properties at 1002 and 1006 N. Summit Street are located in areas identified as having Low Social Vulnerability levels and higher economic mobility for children of households with lower income. Comparative to other areas of the City, this location also has lower numbers of households utilizing Housing Choice Vouchers and lower numbers of public housing properties. Additionally, these properties fall outside of areas with concentrations of City subsidized housing based on the City's Affordable Housing Heat Map. The maps are attached that depict the location of 1002 & 1006 N. Summit Street relative to this data. Site considerations also include proximity to amenities, developability, and alignment with City priorities. City Council established guidelines to determine what land is appropriate for affordable housing. The following factors were considered for this particular site: 1. Zoning: The parcels are currently zoned RM12. Based on this zoning, the maximum allowable number of dwelling units is 28. As they will be affordable housing units, a density bonus is an option that would increase the number of units allowed at this site. The maximum height is 35', but could also be increased with an affordable housing height bonus. These items would be considered during the design phase. No rezoning is required for this site. 2. Proximity to planned or existing transit: The site will be served by public transit. The City's North Dodge route currently has multiple stops on North Dodge Street which are within 1/4 mile of the properties. 3. Proximity to neighborhood services: The properties are less than 1/4 mile from Happy Hollow Park and Hickory Hill Park. They are within easy and safe walking distance of a gas station, grocery store, medical offices, and a coffee shop. Students living in this future development would attend Mann Elementary at the intersection of North Dodge Street and Church Street which is approximately 0.6 miles away. 4. Pre -Development Costs: This is infill development with close access to City water and sewer. The streets and sidewalks are established. 5. Floodplain: Neither property is in the floodplain. 6. Project leverage: The City has several funding options that could be utilized for design and construction. The purchase agreement identifies a possession date of October 18, 2024. Once acquired, staff will start to identify funding sources for design and construction and begin pre - development activities. Once completed, the Iowa City Housing Authority will manage as permanent, affordable housing.

CITY OF IOWA C]Trgnrvr COUNCIL ACTION REPO[liiiiii�iiiiifi August 1, 2017 Resolution Adopting Iowa City's Land Banking Guidelines late HandetitsDistributed Prepared By: Tracy Hightshoe, Neighborhood Services Coordinator Reviewed By: Doug Boothroy, NDS Director Geoff Fruin, City Manager Fiscal Impact: N/A (Date) Recommendations: Staff: Approval Commission: Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) recommended approval, 8-0 Attachments: Resolution Exhibit A — Land Bank Guidelines HCDC 6115/17 Preliminary Minutes Executive Summary: In 2007, the City Council approved the Affordable Housing Action Plan. This Plan included 15 action steps to encourage additional affordable housing in Iowa City. One of the action plan steps was to approve a line item in the budget for affordable housing. Of the amounts deposited in the City's Affordable Housing Fund, 25% is to be held for land banking. The Housing and Community Development Commission approved guidelines to assist the City when considering properties to acquire for affordable housing. Background / Analysis: The purpose of the land banking set -aside from the Affordable Housing Fund is to enable the City to acquire property for the purpose of increasing the supply of affordable housing for households earning up to 80% of median Income. The attached guidelines identify when a property will be disqualified from consideration, but also include what nine factors will be considered to determine If the property would be a good site for affordable housing. These factors include conformance to the Comprehensive Plan, zoning, proximity to transit and neighborhood amenities, pre -development costs, floodplain, blight or nuisance issues, project leverage and other considerations. Once a property is identified and the various factors analyzed, staff will discuss property acquisition with the City Council in closed session pursuant to Section 21.M) of the Iowa Code. The City Council will formally authorize any acquisition by resolution in open session with public comment welcomed. 1q Prepared by: Tracy Hightshos, Neighborlmd Services, 410 E.

All purchases must be approved by the City Council. The Neighborhood and Development Services Department will administer this program. Property Acquisition Considerations The following criteria will immediately disqualify a property from consideration: • More than an incidental portion of the site is in the 100-year floodplain • The site cannot be serviced by utilities • The site is not in the City's designated Growth Area. • There is environmental contamination on the site that prohibits residential development • The site is not in compliance with the Affordable Housing Location Model Answers to the following questions will help the City determine whether or not to purchase a property with land banking funds. 1. Comprehensive Plan: Is the site designated for future residential development in the Comprehensive Plan? Yee or No. If yes, what type: Plan shows rural residential or non-residential development Plan shows single family/duplex development Plan shows low to medium mixed residential Plan shows mixed -use development Plan shows multifamily development 2. Zoning: Is the site zoned for residential development? Yes or No. If yea, what type: Zoning allows for up to 8 unite per acre Zoning allows for up to 8.15 unite per acre Affordable Housing Land Bank Guidelines IlPage Zoning allows for 16-24 units per acre Zoning allows for more than 24 units per acre If no: What zoning classification would likely be determined to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan? Please explain. 3. Proximity to planned or existing transit: Is it likely the site will be or is anticipated to be served by public transit? Within V. mile Within % mile Over % mile 4. Proximity to neighborhood services: Will the site be within safe walking distance to existing or planned schools, parks, bike paths, or neighborhood services? Please explain. 5. Pre -Development Costs: Is the site currently served by utilities? Yes or No. If no: Utility installation programmed in the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CM or anticipated through private redevelopment in next 5 years Utility installation expected in 6-10 years Are the costa to bring utilities to the site reasonable? Please explain Are there other barriers to redevelopment/development (holding costs, remediation, demolition, etc.)? If yes, please explain. 6.

Affordable Housing Land Bank Guidelines 2lPage Housing & Community Development Commission Preliminary Minutes June 15, 2017 RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING LAND BANK GUIDELINES: Byler noted that land banking was part of the Affordable Housing Action Plan and $150,000 was allocated for land banking. Staff has created general guidelines, included in the Commissioner's packets. Byler's general question regarding the document is If anything is binding or If it is all just suggestions. Hightshoe stated they are guidelines, but there are certain criteria that automatically will remove a property from consideration. Boer then asked about the yes/no questions and it seems as if neither answer would disqualify an applicant and Hightshoe confirmed he was correct. Lamkins asked about the disqualllers, it cannot be easily serviced by utilities or not in the City's designated Growth Area, and it seems to make if very hard to find reasonable priced land. Aclrerson stated the Growth Area is based on what can be sewered based on topography so beyond that it would be too expensive to build. Byler agreed with Lamkins and doesn't want to make these guidelines too restrictive for fear of losing a great potential project. Some of the words could be construed In different ways. Whether the site cannot be "easily" serviced by utilities is a judgment call. The section on pre -development costs covers the utility questions. Additionally, stating 'incidental portion" of the site within the 100-year Floodplain. What is the definition of incidental? Hightshoe stated there is a HUD definition for incidental portion. There is an environmental review, basically none of the building can be in the Floodplain. Persson said that at the time they were looking to build the Shelter House they looked at property and the building was not going to be In the Floodplain but a parking lot would be and therefore the site was rejected. Hightshoe believes it means that the building and access to the building can't be in the Floodplain. People must be able to get out of the building safely during a flood event. Vaughn stated the Johnson County Affordable Housing Coalition looked at this and it wasn't clear to them how the form would actually identify a purchase. Is there any weighing of the questions, or anything quantifying on the application. Hightshoe said Staff didn't want there to be a points basis because it is so hard to acquire land for affordable housing. Persson questioned the validity of planned transit, noting that when she bought her property on the southwest edge of town they were told there would be transit within a couple years and it was more like 15 years before it happened. Hightshoe agreed that with land on the outskirts of town it is hard to know how soon transit will get to those locations. Boer suggested removing the first bullet from the disquailfiers and Including that information regarding floodplains to question 6. Additionally the second bullet could be removed because question 5 discusses utilities, as well as the fourth bullet could be Included in question 5 or question 7. Lamkins suggested leaving the fount bullet but removing the wording 'severely limits" and therefore if environmental contamination prohibits residential development then the property is disqualified. Persson doesn't think it is in anyone's benefit to approve anything that was in the 100-year Floodplain. McKinsby likes the use of the incidental portion language, there are often situations where a backyard will flood but not the house or the access to the house and would hate to disqualify low income housing just because a backyard floods. Conger doesn't feel the bullet points are unreasonable Lamkins agrees with Conger, but the first priority has to be getting people a place to live and, yes, maybe deal with rare inconveniences of flooding but at least have options of where to live. Byler noted the bottom line is fear of disqualifying a project because of certain words that can be seen as different meanings from Mn different people. If the Commission wants to keep all five bullets, perhaps they can just be reworded to be more specific (removing "easily' or "severely limits," etc.). The Commission discussed language changes and agreed to keep all five bullets but remove the language from "easily" from bullet two and "severely limits" from bullet four. Lamkins moved to recommend City Council approval of the draft Affordable Housing Land Bank Guidelines with the following language to replace the criteria that would disqualify a property from consideration: • More than an Incidental portion of the site is in the 100-year floodplain. • The site cannot be serviced by utilities. • The site is not in the City's designated Growth Area. • There is environmental contamination on the site that prohibits residential development. • The site is not in compliance with the Affordable Housing Location Model. Persson seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 8.0. Item Number: IP6.

Washington Street, Iowa City, IA 52240 2024 Permit Activity Iowa City requires building permits for new building construction and most existing building repairs and remodel projects. Data regarding the type of project and its valuation is collected at that time. Valuation is not building permit fee revenue or market value, but the estimated average construction cost of a project based on a standardized per square foot estimate using typical construction practices. Building permit activity is tracked and reported on a calendar year basis. In 2024, the total value of construction of permits issued declined. This is mostly directly accounted for by the complete lack of any permits for new multi -family dwell- ing units being issued. Housing that contains more than two dwellings on a single lot is considered multi -family construction. These dwellings may be owned or rented such as townhomes, apartments, or condominiums. In 2013-2014, the City initiated several rezonings to implement a master plan for the Riverfront Crossings area and the adoption of the Riverfront Crossing Form Based Code. This resulted in an increase in new multi -family construction permits and valuation in the subsequent years as developers used the new zoning available to them to redevelop near downtown. The Riverfront Crossings Form Based Code also continued to encourage the trend for multi -family housing to be combined in multi -story buildings with other uses such as retail, office, or hotel and categorized as "mixed -use" structures. The valuation of multi -family or mixed -use projects is more dependent on the scale or location of a development project. Such projects often take more than one construction season or permit year to complete with developers finishing one before beginning another resulting in a 'lumpiness' or rise and fall of valuation from one year to the next. The lack of permits in 2024 may be another lump or it may signal that redevelopment has run its course in the Riverfront Crossings District. In 2022, single family building permit activity and lot creation both slowed. In 2023, lot creation increased while single-family building permit activity decreased further. In 2024, single family building permit activity rebounded but lot creation has not yet been studied. Unless lot creation keeps pace with building permit activity, the period of time that the current supply of lots will last will diminish. In 2023, it was estimated that the City would only be able to accommodate 77% of its projected development potential forecasted through 2030. While redevelopment of existing lots can provide additional housing through increased density, the City will still likely experience unmet demand and deplete its supply of all vacant lots in the process. www.icgov.org/NDS City of Iowa City 11 Anticipated Dwelling Units Accommodated by Lots Platted 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Single -Family Detached 252 207 169 31 105 79 56 65 18 105 Single -Family Attached 2 52 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9 Duplex 2 18 0 14 12 0 0 12 0 44 Multi -Family 7 144 98 279 206 204 108 32 140 380 Total 263 421 267 324 323 283 164 109 158 538 Permits Issued for New Residential Units IN I 3 I 2016 2017 2018 2014 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 ■ SF Dwelling Units Duplex Dwelling Units ■MF Dwelling Units Total Value of Construction (in millions) CY 2015 CY 2016 CY 2017 CY2018 CY2019 CY2020 CY2021 CY2022 CY2023 CY2024 10-year Average = $194.9 $138.3 $388.4 $216.8 $192.8 $231.5 $87.3 $135.5 $152.7 $275.4 $130.4 -9% 181 % -44% -11 % 20% -62% 55% 13% 80% -53% 12 City of Iowa City 410 E.

The City of Iowa City recently updated aspects of its Zoning Code to improve housing choice, increase housing supply, and encourage affordability. These changes will help the City meet its housing needs as a diverse and growing community. • Partnership with the Student Build House project in the 700 Block of Ronalds Street for the completion of the first of two homes to be constructed. In collaboration between the City of Iowa City, the Housing Fellowship, the Iowa City Community School District, Sueppel's Building & Remodeling, the Housing Trust Fund, C-Wise Design and Consulting, Axiom Consultants, First Interstate Bank, the Greater Iowa City Area Home Builders Association and Vocational Training Council, local trade partners, and other community organizations, the project provided an opportunity for local high school students to learn about construction and building science while actively participating in the construction of the home. The finished two -bedroom, 2-bathroom 1,035 sq ft house is located in the Brown Street historic district. It was built to reflect the style y.

Washington Street, Iowa City, IA 52240 Issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) and selection of a consultant to facilitate the Comprehensive Plan update. Successful application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) Grant. Iowa City received a $3.75 million first round award to expand housing supply and lower housing costs. This grant funding will be used to identify and remove barriers to affordable housing production and preservation. PRO Housing funding will enable Iowa City to evaluate local regulations and land use policies, develop and update regional housing plans, and create pilots to support affordable housing development. HUD received considerable interest in the first round of PRO Housing funding. Applications were submitted from more than 175 communities — representing a wide variety of demographics, geographies and population sizes — across 47 States and territories. Successful applicants demonstrated a commitment to eliminating barriers to housing and progress toward creating more housing forward communities. Iowa City was one of only 21 awards totaling nearly $85 million. The PRO Housing grant funding acknowledges Iowa City's commitments to actively taking steps and demonstrates progress in addressing local housing barriers such as outdated local regulations and land use policies, inadequate infrastructure, lack of available financing for development, and risks associated with extreme weather and an aging housing stock. www.icgov.org/NDS Development Services Successful Pro Housing Round I applicants across the Country M•pcpPYW [ou M1L VrAft MHI Mrere. ua•PL.n Co�nULLMAi� Rhotrd 1Mand N- Yark NY il N—iyw �{ Phil•tltlphl•., PA,1 Nctrn. yrashlnf[gn Oi Gow.nm�n}s MBirO. taWCrhry1lnS el Naehvllle 8 "Vlften Gvunty Mnrltgwn•ry, A L City of Iowa City 15 01210I0192101010 The Neighborhood Services Division is respon- sible for the administration of various housing services, housing programs and revitalization efforts that focus on sustaining healthy neighborhoods. The Division provides housing inspection services and administers federal, state, and local programs related to housing and services, including the Housing Choice Voucher program. Housing Inspection Services Housing Inspection Services (HIS) works with property owners, managers, and tenants to ensure rental units are in conformance with the Iowa City Housing Code. There are close to 20,000 rental units in Iowa City that get inspected annually or over a two-year period. Housing Code language establishes minimum health and safety standards necessary to promote the welfare of tenants and the general public. HIS also enforces certain zoning ordinances and responds to complaints of nuisance -related ordinance violations such as tall grass and weeds, snow, or inoperable vehicles. Housing Code Changes — Radon In January 2020, the City of Iowa City announced a new policy requiring all single family detached and duplex rental properties to be tested for hazardous radon levels as a step towards improved public health. The ordinance, set to go into effect on July 1, 2020, was delayed due to COVID-19 and began July 1, 2021. The Iowa Department of Public Health identifies radon as the No. 1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Iowa's indoor radon average of 8 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) is more than six times the national average. The EPA recommends that all Iowa homes be tested for radon and homes with indoor levels of radon over 4 pCi/L be mitigated. Our preliminary numbers indicate that approximately 2,100 single family and duplex structures were subject to the ordinance. About 25% of those had existing radon systems or needed to install mitigation systems as they tested over the EPA limit. Radon exposure was reduced to within EPA thresholds for approximately 525 households. Neighborhood Stabilization Efforts in Universit-Impacted Neighborhoods The State Legislature prohibited cities from adopting or enforcing any regulation or restriction related to occupancy of residential rental property that is based upon the existence of familial or nonfamilial relation- ships between the occupants of such rental property, effective January 1, 2018. This was the principle tool that many cities, including Iowa City, used to address the occupancy of rental properties, especially in neigh- borhoods surrounding the university. In response to this change, the City implemented various measures to 1) ensure single family detached structures and duplexes provide healthy and safe living environments for all occupants; 2) maintain neighborhood characteristics and housing options suit- able for attracting a diverse demographic in our older SF home rental throug The Housing Fellowship CY2023 HIS Stats 29218 neighborhood complaints 93% resolved in 14 days. 199958 units) New land use software implemented in FY21 allows for more accurate tracking of properties. The new system allows multi -family condo buildings to be tracked for rental license purposes and removed from the rental license rolls when no rental units are present in those buildings. This resulted in a slight decrease in reported rental units. 16 City of Iowa City 410 E.

The City started tracking the number of rental permits for single-family and duplex dwellings in University -impacted neigh- borhoods in November of 2017. January 1, 2018, was the effec- tive date of the State prohibition on any regulation or restriction related to occupancy of residential property by familial status. As of June 2023, the City has not seen a significant increase in the number of rental permits for this housing type. The City also started tracking how many bedrooms were added in these neighborhoods. By June of 2023, approximately 32 bedrooms had been added to properties in these neighborhoods since The City monitored single-family and duplex rental permits in our university -impacted neighborhood for six years (2018-2023).

The acquisition or construction of SRO or group housing would remain supported due to the lower average public investment per assisted unit and to increase the supply of accessible homes in our community. 5) Removed the Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County (HTF) from the competitive Aid to Agency process and moved it to a contractual relationship where the HTF uses 8% (changed from 5% in FY22) of the funds allocated to them through the Affordable Housing Fund for administrative expenses. They will remain as a "Legacy Agency" in City Steps 2025 in case they do not get funded orfunded at levels lowerthan their past funding awards in subsequent years through the Affordable Housing Fund. Incorporated the following energy efficiency and health/safety measures into our housing programs: 1) All housing rehabilitation projects, except emergencies, must complete a free home energy audit by Green Iowa AmeriCorps staff prior to funding approval based on AmeriCorps availability. The audit measures the level of air coming into the home and provides basic weatherization, if necessary, to reduce air leaks. During the audit, participants receive LED light bulbs, low flow aerators in kitchen and bathrooms, pipe insulation for the water heater, taping of ducts in basement, and extra weatherization based on the results of the blower door test. 2) Expanded housing rehabilitation activities to include landscaping (tree planting) and grading for stormwater management, as needed, as part of a rehabilitation project. 3) The HOME owner -occupied housing rehabilitation program, with up to $90,000 available annually, is now eligible to landlords of rental housing leasing to tenants with incomes at or below 60%of median income. Landlords are eligible for grants for radon testing and mitigation, if necessary, as part of their rehabilitation project. 4) The Neighborhood Improvements set -aside in the CDBG program was converted to a Neighborhood -Based Climate Action set -aside to encourage sustainable, energy efficiency initiatives in our neighborhoods with a higher number of lower income households. 5) Adopted our first radon ordinance, effective July 1, 2021, that requires radon testing, and mitigation, if necessary, to obtain or maintain a rental permit for single family detached or duplex homes.
