BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Howard Winebrenner, is requesting final plat approval of W.B. Development,
an eight-lot, 40.27 acre commercial subdivision on property located south of the Highway
l/Highway 218 interchange. This property was recently annexed and rezoned to C1-1,
intensive commercial, to allow this development to occur within the corporate limits. The City
will be extending a water line to the property, and a private lift station is to be installed for
sewage disposal until such time as the Southwest Interceptor sewer is extended to serve this
area.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed final plat appears to be in general conformance with the City's subdivision
regulations and the approved preliminary plat for this property. Construction drawings have
been approved by Public Works. Legal papers are under review and must be approved prior
to Council consideration. The legal papers should obligate the owners of Lots 1-8 for
maintenance of the proposed storm water detention basin.
The plat contains a note which restricts development on Lot 8 until such time that Naples
Avenue is improved to the south property line of the subdivision. The developer of Scott's
Second and Fourth Additions, located directly west of this subdivision, is responsible for the
improvement of Naples Avenue from Highway 1 south to Alyssa Court. The County is
responsible for enforcement of this requirement. It is anticipated that the improvements will
occur this spring. Development of Lot 8 would require that paving be extended south from
Alyssa Court to the south line of Lot 8.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the final plat of W.B. Development be approved, subject to the
approval of legal papers prior to Council consideration of the final plat.

CONSULTANT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 8th day of DqCernber .... 1995 , by and
between the City of Iowa City, a municipal corporation. hereinafter referred to as the City and.
Howard R. Green Comeany. of Cedar RapidS, lowel . hereinafter referred to as the Consultant.
WHEREAS the City of Iowa City desires to secure the services of an engineering consulting firm to
provide assistance in implementing the Hydrologic Monitoring System Plan in order to remain in
compliance with the IDNR landfill permit requirements.
NOW THEREFORE. it is agreed by and between the parties hereto that the City does now contract
with the Consultant to provide services as set forth herein.
I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Consultant agrees to perform the following services for the City, and to do so in a timely and
satisfactory manner.
GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE MONITORING
The CITY of IOWA CITY will be responsible to perform the following tasks in a timely manner for Fall
1995 and throughout the years 1996 and 1997:
Collect quarterly and semi-annual water samples from all monitoring points identified in the
Hydrologic Monitoring System Plan (HMSP) and the Amended HMSP, as approved by IDNR. yield
data, such as well depths and well level measurements, pH, specific conductivity, and temperature
measurements will be recorded and IDNR sampling forms 542-1322 and 542-1324 will be
completed.
HOWARD R. GREEN COMPANY (HRG) will provide the following services:
Provide assistance in implementing the sampling program; review the analytical data and field
measurements; discuss with landfill representatives any findings that may negatively impact the
landfill operation. Draft a letter to be submitted by the City of Iowa City with the IDNR forms and
analytical reports to the IDNR office in Des Moines and the IDNR field office in Manchester. Iowa.
FEES: Forthe engineering services related to the Fall 1995 sampling event and all sampling events
throughout the years 1996 and 1997, the fee is $15.550.00.
ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORTS for 1995, 1996, and 1997
HOWARD R. GREEN COMPANY (HRG) will provide the following services:
This Scope of Services covers engineering fees and expenses required for the completion and
submittal of the Annual Water Quality Reports (AWQR) which will address the effect, if any, the
landfill is having on the environment. The report is to be submitted to IDNR by November 30, of
each year to fulfill the requirement of the landfill permit, Special Provisions 5e. and 5j.
The reports will contain statistical analyses of all existing sampling data collected through November
of each year in 1995, 1996, and 1997, at the Iowa City Sanitary Landfill.
Specifically, the reports will provide documentation of the statistical procedures utilized in the
evaluation, and will conform to the standards of [567] Iowa Administrative Code, Chapter 103.2(6)
and (8). All results will be summarized in text form, with conclusions and recommendations
presented. The actual statistical analyses output, including graphics and a digital record, will be
provided in an appendix.
The AWQRs will also address the requirements of the Monitoring Well Maintenance Performance
Reevaluation Plan and will discuss each well depth and monthly water levels.
For the 1995 AWQR, a Howard R. Green Company staff hydrogeologist will review all available
information about the site geology and hydregeology to gain a complete understanding of the five
strata monitored at the site. Only with this knowledge can a correct interpretation of the sampling
data be accomplished. At this time, it is very difficult to estimate the engineering time required to
generate the report, all pertinent tables and graphs, and to make recommendations for future
sampling events. Subsequent AWQRs should be less costly.
Since all data is not yet available at this time and some must be entered manually before the
necessary computer calculations can be pe~ormed, the November 30, 1995 submission date will
not be met. HRG will submit a request for an extension of this date to April 15, 1996 to IDNR. All
subsequent AWQRs will be delivered on time to meet the IDNR requirements.
FEES: The estimated fee forthe 1995 Annual Water Quality Report is $8,000.00 to $10,000.00. For
the 1996 and 1997 Annual Water Quality Reports, the estimated fee is $6,000.00 for each,
subject to change pending further development of the landfill and subsequent changes of the
Monitoring System.
ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORT 1995, DATA ENTRY
HOWARD R. GREEN COMPANY (HRG) will provide the following services:
Since the sampling data from vadous previous sampling events are not readily accessible
electronically, they must be entered manually before the statistical analyses can be accomplished.
HRG employees will complete this task, to be invoiced on a "Time and Materials" basis, since it is
impossible to judge how many hours will be required for data entry, checking the entries for accuracy
and completeness.
To the best of our knowledge, the "old" data from April 1990 to October 1993 consist of
approximately 3,000 data points which must be entered manually from various sources. We
estimate 100 to 250 man-hours for this task.
From January 1993 to October 1993, NET laboratories performed the analyses for most parameters.
These data represent at least 4,200 data points which can be transmitted electronically, but will still
require verification of accuracy and completeness. We estimate about 70 to 140 man-hours for this
task.
For sampling events conducted in 1994 and in January through September 1995, we have not yet
reviewed any data, if they are at all available. We cannot make an estimate on man-hours required
for this part.
FEES: The fee for the data entry and checking for accuracy and completeness will be invoiced on
the basis of "time and material" for the labor and expenses incurred.
I1. TIME OF COMPLETION
The Consultant shall complete the following phases of the Project in accordance with the schedule
shown.
Sampling Report to IDNR within 30 days of receipt of data provided by the City of Iowa City for each
individual sampling event.

Dear Pat:
On February 2, 1996, the City Clerk forwarded the fully executed agreement between the City
of Iowa City and Johnson County for transfer of ownership of the Iowa River Power Dam. We
chatted briefly about this agreement, and you noted that there were some delays. I note that
the County has authority to transfer such ownership to the City. by reason of a resolution
passed by the County Board of Supervisors in February 1996. I would appreciate your. looking
into this. or having someone in your office look into it - so that we may consummate transfer

months.
Thanks for all your help, and I remain

MEMORANDUM
Date:
January 12, 1996
To: City Council and City Manager
From: ~ Marianne Milkman, Community Development Coordinator
Re:
Reallocation of FY95 HOME and Associated Funds
Background
In FY95 the City received 9500,000 in HOME Investment Partnership Funds through the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are intended to increase
housing opportunities for low income residents, mainly households below 65% median
income. Incidentally, HOME js not an acronym, just the name of the program.
HOME funds can be used to provide incentives to develop and support affordable rental and
owner-occupied housing through acquisition, new construction and rehabilitation.
Downpayment assistance and tenant-based rental assistance are also eligible expenditures.
A City is required to set aside 15% of HOME dollars for Community Housing Development
Organizations (CHDO). CHDOs are private, non-profit organizations whose purpose is to
provide decent housing that is affordable to low and moderate income persons. Iowa City has
two certified CHDOs - the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) and the Hawkeye
Area Community Action Program. Up to 5% of a community's HOME funds can be allocated
to CHDOs for operational expenses.
Need for Reallocation of FY95 HOME Funds
Each annual allocation of HOME funds can be expended over a period of five years, but must
be committed with legally binding agreements within two years. If no such commitment of
funds is made, the City loses the money, which is reallocated to another community. The
deadline for committing FY95 HOME funds is May 1, 1996.
In FY95, Burns and Associates (a private, for-profit architect and developer) and the GICHF
were allocated 9150,000 in HOME funds and 9150,000 in Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds for development of affordable rental housing for low income households.
The partnership made great efforts over the past 18 months to develop an acceptable project,
but came up empty-handed for a variety of reasons, As a result, in November 1995, staff
proposed three alternatives for use of the 9150,000 of HOME funds, which must be
committed by this May. The Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC)
recommended and the City Council concurred, that staff pursue a project to provide Single
Room Occupancy (SRO) housing for working persons living alone. A description of this
project is provided later in this memo.
CHDO Set Aside
Since the GiCHF was no longer going to be the recipient of FY95 HOME funds, staff reviewed
options for use of the 15% set aside required for these funds. For FY95 this set aside is
975,O00. To date, 935,000 of the set aside has been expended by HACAP which purchased
two mobile homes for use in its Transitional Housing Program. There is another 940,000 in
FY95 HOME funds that must be allocated to a CHDO for a housing project. Our two CHDOs
(HACAP and GICHF) were asked to submit proposals for the commitment of these funds.
Only GICHF submitted a proposal which is discussed later in this memo. HACAP decided not
to submit a proposal due to the tight time constraints for the commitment of these funds.
CHDO Operating Funds
In addition, we have had requests from the two CHDOs (GICHF and HACAP) for operational
funding. Since funding sources for CHDOs (administrative fees and rental income) can be
erratic, depending upon the status of various projects and the number of units managed by
the CHDO, the HOME regulations allow cities to use some of the funds to assist with
operational expenses and capacity building.
Iowa City has not specifically reserved funding for this activity; however, HUD allows us to
use up to 5% of our annual HOME funds for CHDO operational expenses. In short, 945,000
(f~25,000 from FY95 and 920,000 from FY96) could be used for CHDO operational expenses.
Enclosed in this packet are proposals from GICHF and HACAP requesting such funds.
HOME Match
One other requirement of the HOME progrant is that the City must provide a 25% match fnr
the federal funds. For the 9150,000 in FY95 HOME funds being reallocated, this amounts
to 937,500. The match must be from non-federal funds and the money must be used for an
affordable housing project eligible for HOME funding, but not necessarily the specific project
being funded. Last year the City provided money from the general fund for the two owner-
occupied affordable homes at 1109 5th Avenue and 451 Rundell Street. These monies more
than cover the required match.
The rest of this memo describes the three projects which have been recommended by the
Housing and Community Development Commission to the Council for use of the $150,000
of FY95 HONIE funds (some CDBG and FY96 HONIE funds have been added as necessary),
These projects are:
Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Housing for Working Persons Living Alone:
~85,000 FY95 HOME + $42,000 FY95 CDBG = (~127,000
Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) Affordable Rental Housing Acquisition
$40,000 FY95 HONIE
Operational Funding for HACAP and GICHF:
$25,000 FY95 HONIE + $20,000 FY96 HONIE = $45,000
SRO Housin~l for Workinq Persons Livinq Alone - $127,000
CITY STEPS, Iowa City's Consolidated Plan for Housing, Jobs and Services for low
income residents, identified the lack of housing affordable to single persons as a major
gap in the "continuum of care" for homeless persons, Many individuals in the
Emergency Housing Shelter have jobs, but since these jobs are usually part-time and
at minimum wage, these individuals cannot afford to rent a room at approximately
$250 a month. Single persons (other than persons who are elderly or have a
disability) are not eligible for Section 8 housing assistance under Iowa City's program.
It is also clear that most persons transitioning out of homelessness need both housing
assistance and supportive services to help them become self sufficient.
In FY96 $100,OOO of HOME funds was allocated to a potential SRO project with the
proviso that details of how such a project would operate must be fleshed out. The
City's proposal raised interest in the private sector, and for the past six months staff
has been working with Pat Jordan, Director of the Emergency Housing Project and
Theresa Kopatich and Lynn Detweiler, owners of D&K Properties, on this project.
D&K identified a 9-bedroom existing rooming house near downtown and have been
working with the staff on an agreement that details management, financing, rent
structure, support services and the affordability period.
The plan is to provide t, 125,000 in FY95 HOME and CDBG funds (formerly allocated
to the Burns/GICHF project) for acquisition of the property. Five of the nine rooms will
be set aside for 15 years for working persons living alone with preference given to
homeless persons. Rents for the five rooms will start at approximately 9125 a month.
The entire building will qualify as affordable rental housing and no rents will exceed the
HUD established Fair Market Rents which are currently $233 per month. Occupancy
is expected in March 1996.
D&K Properties will be able to keep the rents low because the 9125,O00 provided up
front greatly reduces their debt service payments over a period of 15 years. Even so,
the cash flow is very tight on this property, but D&K Properties plan to provide many
services such as snow removal, mowing, interior and exterior repairs, etc. themselves.
(Mr. Detweiler also owns a construction business.)
Persons renting the five rooms will receive supportive services and will be required to
follow a personal action plan which will help them to become self-sufficient. Once their
income reaches a level where they can afford a market rate room, they will be required
to find other accommodations to make room for other homeless persons. A separate
memo from Steve Long to the Housing and Community Development Commission
explains the supportive service component of the program. As the memo states an
additional 92,000 will be required to fund the supportive services from March I - June
30, 1996. Programming and continued funding of such services over a period of years
is currently being developed by a group of homeless shelter and supportive service
providers.

Staff and HCDC recommend funding for this project as follows:
Activity
Acquisition of properties
Funding Source Amount Total
FY95 HOME $85,000 $125,000
FY95 CDBG $40,000
Supportive SeNices
FY95 CDBG $2.000
2,000
$127.000
We view this project as a pilot project which, if successful, could be used to provide
additional SRO housing to help individuals to become self-sufficient.
2. Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowshil~ Affordable Rental Housing AcQuisition - t/40,000
On January 4, 1995 the GICHF submitted a proposal to the Housing and Community
Development Commission (HCDC) for use of $40,000 in FY95 HOME funds to acquire
two existing homes for affordable rental housing. The proposal is included with this
memo. At the HCDC meeting, GICHF provided additional information on two units for
which they had accepted purchase agreements. One unit is a two bedroom
condominium at $50,000 on the west side of town, the other is a four bedroom single-
family home at $90,000 on the east side north of Highway 6. GICHF estimates the
total cost for both units including minor rehabilitation will be $143,O50. Other funding
for the project will be a conventional mortgage from one or more local lenders.
As with all of the Fellowship's properties, the units will be rented at or below fair
market rent until the debt is retired. After that rents are set to cover operating and
reserve replacement costs. The units are intended to continue as affordable rental
housing in perpetuity.
HCDC has recommended approval of this project which will permit the City to commit
the remaining 840,000 of its FY95 HOME set aside for Community Housing
Development Organizations (CHDO).
Operational Funding for HACAP and GICHF - 845,000
Proposals from both organizations are attached to this memo.
One of the biggest problems for CHDOs is ensuring a constant stream of funding for
operational expenses. Until a CHDO owns and/or operates 80-1OO units the income
stream from its units is insufficient to cover operational expenses. In the past three
years, GICHF has received administrative funds for the development of additional
affordable rental housing units. These administrative funds provided part of the
organization's operating funds. Because GICHF (in conjunction with Burns and
Associates) have been unable to acquire a suitable site for development of traditional
affordable rental housing units, their operational funds for the 1996 calendar year are
severely reduced. GICHF requested $39,500 and HDCD has recommended allocating
835,000 in FY95 and FY96 HOME funds to assist GICHF with operating expenses.
HACAP's operational funding needs resulted because all but four units of the Broadway
Public Housing units were vacant at the time of purchase in December. HACAP had
anticipated that many of the units would have public housing tenants who would
remain in place, and would slowly be replaced with graduates of Phase I of HACAP's
transitional housing program. Because so many units are empty, many will be filled
5
with families entering the transitional housing program and requiring considerably more
counseling time than anticipated. HACAP requested f~ 18, 171 for operational expenses
and 94,800 for lot rent for the new mobile home units in its program. The latter
expense is ineligible. HCDC recommended $10,000 of FY96 HOME funds to assist
HACAP with expenses for the additional counseling.
Staff Recommendation
While the HCDC felt that the GICHF had demonstrated a greater need in their proposal than
HACAP, staff feels that a more equitable distribution of funds is appropriate. It is vital that
adequate supportive services be provided to transitional housing families in order to help them
become self-sufficient. Also we feel that it is important that GICHF not depend solely on the
City's federal allocation to meet the shortfall in its operating budget. The staff recommends
allocating (;30,000 to GICHF and ,~15,000 to HACAP.
We will be discussing these items at your informal Council meeting on January 15, 1996. If
you have questions prior to the meeting, please call me at 356-5244.

Re:

Steve Long, Associate Plann~,/
Supportive Services for SRO Housing Project
As you know, it often takes time for a person who is homeless to become independent and the
process involves much more than housing assistance. For this reason, the provision of
supportive services is an important element to the success of any "transitional" housing project,
The proposed SRO housing project will require a supportive services component. Below is a
summary of the proposed services that will be offered to this project, initially coordinated through
the Emergency Housing Project's Early Bird Program.
The Early Bird Program will provide supportive services with a hands-on approach. A coordinator
will work with the residents in the pursuit of their goals, and through weekly meetings they will
examine the individual's work, housing and medical situations, working together to develop a plan
to access the appropriate community services. In some cases the residents may already be tied
into existing community services; in those cases the coordinator will work with the appropriate
case worker to determine a personal action plan. Early Bird will strive to assist the client in an
esteem-building environment that suppods the achievement of stable housing and employment.
In general, the first meeting will provide the opportunity to outline personal goals. The coordinator
will then collaborate with the individual to examine the feasibility of the proposed goals and
develop a personal action plan that consists of specific steps which move toward fulfillment of the
goals. During this first meeting, appropriate service referrals will be made by the coordinator, and
the responsibilities of both resident and coordinator will be agreed upon. Subsequent
appointments will track the individual's progress according to his or her personal action plan.
Necessary modifications and further goals will be proposed. The coordinator will document the
progress of each case by logging the results of each meeting. The frequency of the resident's
Early Bird meetings will depend on their level of need and the complexity of their personal plan.
Some examples of initial topics that arise include budgeting, job skills, general living skills, and
coping skills. Although these assessments and subsequent follow-up appointments take a
considerable amount of time and commitment by both the coordinator and resident, it is a proven
and successful element of a project such as the one being proposed.
Although we realize that this is an important element, keep in mind that the funds needed for
supportive services are separate from the acquisition costs and fall under the very competitive
and limited CDBG Public Service cap.
The homeless shelter and supportive service providera are currently working on an extension of
the Early Bird Program to provide supportive services to persons leaving the shelters or a near
homeless situation. If funded, this program could be in place by July 1, 1996. In the interim
(March 1 - June 30, 1996) we are proposing an allocation of $2,000 in FY95 CDBG funds to
provide supportive services.

Maryann Dennis, Administrator
Request for HOME Funds
Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) is requesting $40,000 of City of
Iowa City CHDO HOME funds to acquire property to use as affordable rental
housing. Additional funding for the total project cost will be permanent long
term debt from a consortium of local lenders. City of Iowa City HOME funds
will fill the gap between long term debt financing and the total project cost.
An investment analysis is attached. The project costs are based on the acquisition
of a two bedroom condominium at a purchase price of $50,000 and a three
bedroom single family home at a purchase price of $75,000. These prices are
based on the current MLS and information provided by a local realtor. Rental
income is based on local Fair Market Rents with allowances for tenant utility
payments.
Rehabilitation costs have been included as a safe guard. Properties will be
inspected by a professional, certified by the American Society of Home Inspectors
as part of any purchase agreement and as a means to prepare rehabilitation work
lists. The units will meet HUD Section 8 Existing Housing Quality Standards and
comply with the Construction and Rehabilitation Specifications as outlined by the
Iowa City Department of Planning and Community Development, February,
1995. Volunteer labor will be utilized as much as possible to complete needed
rehabilitation.
This project fits with the priorities outlined in City STEPS, Iowa City's
Consolidated Plan for Housing, Jobs, and Services for Low-Income Residents.
The project aims at providing additional units of affordable rental housing at
scattered sites to very low-income families. It specifically addresses the needs of
renters burdened by housing costs and of households with current HUD Section 8
rental certificates who have been unable to locate decent rental housing.
In the Iowa City area. housing that is affordable is a primary concern.
According to City STEPS, rental costs in this area are very high due to the
number of students attending the University of Iowa. Very low vacancy rates
fuel the increasing cost of rental housing. Simply stated, demand exceeds supply.
Further, of Iowa City households with incomes at or below 30% of MFI, 82%
are cost-burdened. Many of the female heads of households with children are
within the small family (those with two to four related persons) renter group.
Female-headed households with children younger than 18 have a 45% poverty
rate.
Since its beginning in 1991, the GICHF has received more than $1,300,000 in
grants and loans to develop affordable rental housing. Over the past three years,
GICHF has acquired and rehabilitated or constructed 18 units of affordable rental
housing. GICHF owns and manages the units, all of which are occupied by very
low-income households.
Below is a listing of past funding and sources for the Housing Fellowship. All of
the properties owned and managed by the Housing Fellowship have been financed
in part with loans from a consortium of seven local private financial institutions.
Year Source Recipient Amount Form
1991 CDBG G1CHF 6,000 loan
1991 CDBG GICHF 6,000 grant
1992 CDBG GICHF 16,640 loan

1992 IA HOME GICHF 125,000 loan
1993 CDBG GICHF 75,000 grant
1994 CDBG GICHF 8,000 grant
These projects have had a significant impact in our community. To date, GICHF
has housed 87 people of which 56 are children. Of these 87 people, 41 were
2
over-occupying previous housing, having extreme difficulty finding housing or
homeless. All GICHF tenants receive Section 8 rental assistance.
Household characteristics of GICHF tenants as of December 1, 1995 include:
89% are headed by single mothers
61% of heads of households are employed
17% of heads of households are full-time college students
17% of heads of households are elderly or disabled.
The average annual household income of current tenants is $12,251 with
households ranging in size from one to six. The 1995 vacancy rate of GICHF
rental units was 2%.
GICHF operates under a policy which will increase the stock of affordable
housing. Under this policy, after debt retirement on the Housing Fellowship's
rental units, rents are set at operating and replacement reserve costs. The rental
amount then will be within the affordable range of many very low-income
households without rental assistance payments. The Housing Fellowship
maintains rent levels no higher than the local FMR thereby increasing the
accessibility of housing to very low-income households by making Housing
Fellowship rental units eligible as Section 8 housing.

Dear Commissioners:
I have been working with Greater Iowa City Fellowship to identify
a three or four bedroom house and a two bedroom condominium for
use as rental units in their affordable housing program. I am
sure that suitable properties can be located in well-established

Other considerations in our search include a location that is
north of Highway 6 at a reasonable cost.
I am supportive of the efforts of Greater Iowa City Housing
Fellowship to provide decent housing for low income families in
our community.

Request for CHDO Operating Funds from the HOME Program
Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) is requesting $39,500 of HOME
funds from the City of Iowa City for operating expenses. This amount is 50% of
the projected operating budget for 1996. GICHF has an immediate need for these
funds to meet administrative expenses for calendar year 1996. A budget is
attached.
As a designated CHDO, GICHF is the only non-profit organization devoted
solely to providing permanent, safe, decent affordable rental housing in Johnson
County. GICHF currently has fifteen member congregations and representatives
from four local human service agencies that select the Board of Trustees. This
CHDO has greatly increased its capacity over the past three years. GICHF has
employed a full-time administrator since May of 1993 and a full-time Compliance
Manager joined staff in July of 1995.
The administrative staff of GICHF has included more than a 1.0 FTE position
since May, 1993, as GICHF participated in the local VISTA grant at no cost to
GICHF. VISTA volunteers worked at GICHF on a full-time basis from 1992
until 1995. During 1994 and part of 1995, 1.5 FTE VISTA positions were
assigned to GICHF.
Since its beginning in 1991, the GICHF has received more than $1,300,000 in
grants and loans to develop affordable rental housing. Over the past three years,
GICHF has acquired and rehabilitated or constructed 18 units of affordable rental
housing. GICHF owns and manages the units, all of which are occupied by very
low-income households.
Below is a listing of past
the properties owned and
in part with loans from a
funding and sources for the Housing Fellowship. All of
managed by the Housing Fellowship have been financed
consortlure of seven local private financial institutions.

1992 IA HOME GICHF 125,000 loan
1993 CDBG GICHF 75,000 grant
1994 CDBG GICHF 8,000 grant
These projects have had a significant impact in our community. To date, GICHF
has housed 87 people of which 56 are children. Of these 87 people, 41 were
over-occupying previous housing, having extreme difficulty finding housing or
homeless. All GICHF tenants receive Section 8 rental assistance. The 1995
vacancy rate of GICHF rental units was 2%.
Household characteristics of GICHF tenants as of December 1, 1995 include:
89% are headed by single mothers
61% of heads of households are employed
17% of heads of households are full-time college students
17% of heads of households are elderly or disabled.
The average annual household income of current tenants is $12,251 with
households ranging in size from one to six.
GICHF operates under a policy which will increase the stock of affordable
housing. Under this policy, after debt retirement on the Housing Fellowship's
rental units, rents are set at operating and replacement reserve costs. The rental
amount then will be within the affordable range of many very low-income
households without rental assistance payments. The Housing Fellowship
maintains rent levels no higher than the local FMR thereby increasing the
accessibility of housing to very low-income households by making Housing
Fellowship rental units eligible as Section 8 housing.
GICHF, in partnership with a local, for-profit developer has been allocated City
CDBG and HOME funds for two consecutive years to acquire land and construct
affordable housing. The Limited Parmership has been unable to commit these
funds due to the inability to acquire a suitable site which accommodates the
criteria of local government, City Staff and neighboring households. The lack of
prope~y zoned, developable land and adverse community attitudes have severely
delayed the growth plan of GICHF.
Future plans are focused on increasing the number of rental units owned and
managed by GICHF. It is anticipated that as the number of units increases, the
need for external funding for operations will decrease. This has always been the
long term fiscal plan for the organization. Between 80 and 100 rental units are
needed in order for GICHF to be a self-supporting CHDO. Thus far, the Housing
Fellowship has not reached that point.

FYe5 HOME CHDO Set-Bide funds
HACAP would like to respond to your-notice about FY95 HOME CHDO Set-
aside funds that are available for operational expenseS.
HACAP is pleased to have been able to e~4~and ita transitional housing program
in Iowa City during 1995 from 8 to 28 units of supportive housing to homeless
families. The priority need level for transitional housing continues to ba a high
need as identified in the Iowa City Consolidated Plan fat Ig95.
For the past 6 years we have operated our transitional housing program under
grants issued by HUD. Our major housing grant Is up for renewal on Deeember
31, legs. The current inctebility of federal funding fortransitlonal housing has
put budget planning in a state of uncertainty. At this time It Is still not apparent
whether future funding wilt be available. If available, I~ may come timugh
individual grants or through block granUng. If it Is thraugll blOCk granting it may
follow either the CDBG or ESQ lines of distribution. If funding comes through
either format of blOc~ grants. It will most liltely be very diffiGuit to reconstruct the
level of funds we have had available to provide supportive services.
Operational funds am needed to continue tO provide fie level of suppo~ve
services in transitional housing. During the past yaer we were able to add two
new manufactured homes In a local mobile home park. Lot rents have increased
during the year to $200 per lot We are requesting $4800 to cover the cost of
one year of lot rents for the two new homes.

A major component of transitional housing involves meeting on a regular t)a$1s
with a family develOpmere counselor. The eighteen units recently acqulmd on
Broadway Street for TH are hearty empty. With this higher ~an expected
vacancy rate at start up, we will need to fill unlbs with families that ere not
necessarily houalng graduates. This wifi involve more counseling ~jme for ~te
flintyearthen we h~d anticipated. Operetiorml funds are needed to aSsure fiat
