Investment of Available Resources and Households&Persons Assisted with Housing The following table briefly describes the activities, programs, and projects for affordable housing undertaken in Iowa City in fiscal year 1996 (July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996). Each activity is listed below the relevant priority as identified in the 1995-2000 Consolidated Plan (a.k.a. CITY STEPS). The resources and program funds used are outlined, as well as, other investments (where known), and geographic distribution of investment (where applicable). PRIORITY: EXPANSION OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING STOCK Homeownership Assistance for Manufactured Homes Affordable Rental Housing Section 8 Vouchers and Certifi- cates Local Lending Institutions Housing for Working Persons Living Alone Transitional Housing The First National Bank has started a loan program that will pro- vide low income persons with the opportunity to purchase manu- factured housing units. To complement the program, the Bank received $80,000 in HOME funds for downpayment assistance. Due to a delay in receiving a waiver, this program will not began until FY97. Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship, a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and Robert Burns, a for-profit developer, have purchased land to construct 16 units of afford- able rental housing. The land was purchased with $100,000 CDBG and $60,000 HOME funds. Construction will begin in FY97, where an additional $40,000 in HOME funds will be used for some of the project 'soft' costs. The Iowa City Housing Authority assisted 909 households with rental assistance in FY96. Approximately 3,845,400 in Section 8 funds went to local landlords. The Iowa City lending institutions, in conjunction with state and federal programs, provided local citizens access to millions of dollars worth of mortgage credit. These lenders also assisted low income homebuyers by leveraging funds through the Mort- gage Credit Certificates and the Iowa Housing Assistance Pro- gram (IHAP). $40,232 in IHAP funds were used locally and as- sisted 17 homebuyers with downpayment and closing costs. D&K Properties, a for-prof'rt, the Emergency Housing Project and the City worked together to develop 9 units of Single Room Oc- cupancy housing with supportive services. $150,000 in HOME and CDBG funds were used for acquisition of the property and $2,000 in CDBG funds were provided for the supportive services for FY96. Of the 9 units, all will be rented at Fair Market Rent or less (with 5 targeted for rent levels of approximately $125- $175~month). Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP) used $141,647 in CDBG funds to help purchase 18 - 3 bedroom units that will be used in their Transitional Housing Program. The 18 units were forreedy owned by the Iowa City Housing Authority. In addition to the CDBG funding, the City provided HACAP with a 7% loan for the balance of the purchase price of $750,000. 8 Iowa City Housin~l Authority Relocation Assistance Manufactured Housing Replacement Program Affordable Rental Housing The ICHA completed the construction of 33 new public housing units. $29,574 in CDBG funds were used for landscaping for this project and to provide some playground equipment at another public housing site. The City of Iowa City used $32,020 in CDBG funds to complete the relocation of the remaining five tenants from the Towncrest Mobile Home Park. Assistance was in the form of rehabilitation, downpayment assistance, rent, moving expenses, and utility hook-ups. This activity was started in FY95 and was completed in FY96 with the purchase and rehabilitation of one unit. Approximately $18,363 in CDBG funding was used. Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship, a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and Robert Bums, a for-profit developer, were allocated $300,000 in FY95 CDBG and HOME funds for land acquisition and construction of rental units, howev- er, due to a variety of problems (finding land, rezoning, etc.) this project was canceled and the funds returned. PRIORITY: REHABILITATION OF THE EXISTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING STOCK Small Repair Program Housing Rehabilitation Program: Owner-occupied Rental Rehab Elderly Services Agency assisted 44 households (51 persons) who were elderly or had a disability with small repair projects. This program enables these households to remain in their homes safely. In FY96 the program used $24,131 in CDBG funding. The City of Iowa City used approximately $295,500 in CDBG and $70,300 in HOME funds. While numerous projects were began the following rehab projects completed this year: Comprehensive Rehab Exterior Repair Emergency Repair Residential Accessibility Energy Conservation Mobile Home Repair TOTAL 5 3 4 3 1 31 The City of Iowa City, with $25,352 in CDBG and $9,148 in state funds, rehabilitated one building with four units. All rental rehab projects have now been completed, which closed out the Rental Rehab program. PRIORITY: SUPPORT AGENCIES THAT PROVIDE SERVICES TO HELP PEOPLE SECURE AND STAY IN HOUSING Iowa City Housing Authority Emergency Housing Project Domestic Violence Intervention Program Johnson County Adult Day Program Mid-Eastem Council on Chemi- cal Abuse Elderly Services Agency Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship LIFE Skills Domestic Violence Intervention Program - Furniture Project The ICHA received $150,000 in HOME funds for a Tenant Based Rent Assistance (TBRA) program. This program was designed to work with the Family Self-Sufficiency program by coordinating the provision of housing with other services. Twenty-five house- holds will be receiving rent assistance for up to 24 months. The Emergency Housing Project (EHP) received $24,500 in CDBG funds to renovate three bathrooms at the shelter. Due to heavy use these facilities were in dire need of replacement. The Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP) received $83,418 in CDBG funds to complete the lower level of their facil- ity. This new space provides for a children's area, counseling, storage, and office space. The Johnson County Adult Day Program was allocated $100,000 in CDBG funding for a new facility. Changes in the State regula- tions required them to have more space for their clients. A num- ber of issues concerning the program forced them to temporarily cancel these plans and return the CDBG funds. They were en- couraged to re-apply in the future. MECCA used $24,500 in CDBG funds, in conjunction with other funds, to provide services to 4,734 individuals who were in need of comprehensive substance abuse prevention and treatment programs. They also provide individualized treatment plans for persons in traditional outpatient, intensive outpatient, day treat- ment, halfway house, and residential services. ESA assisted 1,548 seniors through their Chore Services, Shared Housing, Retired Senior Volunteer Program, Case management, Information and Referral, and Outreach with $53,500 of CDBG assistance. These services helped elderly persons remain in their homes. GICHF has established and operated a Secudty Deposit Loan Program. This program is funded through a $10,000 loan pool with a local bank and $4,000 of Emergency Shelter Grant Pro- gram funds. LIFE Skills, with $17,762 in CDBG funds assisted 57 households through its Housing Support Program. This program helps clients with basic household skills such as budgeting, housekeeping, and neighbor\landlord relations. In addition, they began a Tool Pool Project with another local nonprofit. The Tool Pool project will enable low income persons to borrow small tools so that they may better maintain their housing units. DVIP is the parent organization for the Furniture Project. The Furniture Project collects a variety of items for re-distribution to homeless and other low income households. In FY96 this ser- vice provided furniture to 140 households. 10 Homeless Services Provision The City of Iowa City administered $69,600 in Emergency Shelter Grant funds for three local homeless shelters and one nonprofit agency. These funds were used for homeless prevention, reha* bilitation, and operational expenses (utilities, salaries, insurance, etc.). PRIORITY: FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND PLANNING City of Iowa City As a second step to overcoming The barriers to affordable housing, staff prepared a "Housing Options" document. In addi* tion, staff has began planning a community housing forum. Staff also completed requests for FY97 CDBG and HOME funding for a Single Room Occupancy project, homeownership assistance, and housing rehabilitation.

Households and Persons assisted with housing (Comments on Table 1) This report only includes persons and households who moved into a unit\shelter in FY96 or had a rehabilitation project completed. Families who lived in Public or Assisted Housing last year and continue to do so are not counted. Table 1 shows the number of households and persons actually assisted. Renter Households Due to a computer system conversion, data on the exact number of new FY96 households was not available. As a result, the numbers from the Iowa City Housing Authority are based upon FY95 figures that were broken down by FY96 racial statistics. In addition, all of the households were under 50% median family income but no household size information was available. Elderly Households represented in Table 1 are estimates from the Public and Assisted Housing programs operated by the City (38 households). Other eldedy renter households may have been assisted through other programs such as Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship or LIFE Skills, however, they do not keep age statistics. Other renters represented in Tab!e 1 are comprised from a number of other housing projects or service activities undertaken in FY96. The individual activity and number of househo!ds or persons assisted is detailed below.

The following is a breakdown of the programs and the number of households assisted. Iowa City: Housing Rehabilitation Program EIdedy Services Agency: Small Repair Program Towncrest Relocation Program HACAP Weatherization Program State of Iowa: Iowa Housing Assistance Program TOTAL 31 Households 51 Households 5 Households 40 Households 17 Households 144 Households Homeless Persons and Families The number of households\persons assisted by Iowa City's homeless shelters was down by approxi- mately 7 percent (from 1,309 persons in FY95 to 1,217 persons in FY96). This slight decrease may be 12 attributed to occupancy restrictions being enforced at the Emergency Housing Project and Domestic Violence Intervention Program's shelter. At present, the three local emergency shelters that provide these services are reporting on a monthly basis through the Emergency Shelter Grants program. Duplication is avoided between the shelters because each one targets a different population (one shelter is only for minors, another one houses women and children who are victims of domestic violence, and the other has no restrictions but serves mainly single men). · Assistance by Race Data for assistance by race and ethnic group show that housing assistance for minority groups generally exceeds the general population representations by all groups. Overall, minorities comprise approximate- ly 9 percent of the general population (1990 U.S. Census). The illustration below compares racial statistics.

Other Actions Undertaken D.1, Public Policies Once the City's priorities and strategies for investment are determined, the City looks closely at the coordination of policies, goals, administration, and implementation. This section and the next, "Institutional Structure and Intergovernmental Cooperation" looks at these issues. Iowa City has its own unique set of barriers to affordable housing, many of which can be addressed, at least partially, through local public policies. These policies are discussed under the following categories: 1) Availability of Resources; 2) Development Standards; 3) Zoning; 4) Building Codes; and 5} Community Attitudes. The Consolidated Plan includes not only housing issues but jobs and services. AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES This is generally the most fundamental problem, with a tack of financial resources and available land at issue. The increase in homelesshess and serious affordable housing issues has caused the creation and limited funding of state and federal housing programs. Iowa City will continue to try to capture as many of these funds as possible, but more private and City funds are needed. The City has made a commitment to match local HOME funds. In Iowa City the availability of developable residential land {particularly for multi-family structures) that is relatively close to jobs, schools and shopping is nearly nonexistent. In addition, developers who are constructing housing on the available land are targeting the owner-occupied housing market and the student rental market. Policy Options 1. Acquisition of Available Vacant Parcels Unlike many communities, the City does not much vacant land available for housing development only a few scattered infill parcels. The City has been successful in acquiring one lot. This lot was used by the City to test an affordable housing project using a modular home. This home was sold to a low income family in FY96. Possible sources of funding in addition to state and federal resources are the general revenue fund, general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, tax abatement, or tax increment financing. Although the C~ty Council has recently approved the use of both tax increment financing and tax abatement, the use of general revenue funds seems less likely due to a large state rollback for property taxes the City is investigating the use of bonds. 2. Annexation Annexation is relatively easy; however, it involves extension of infrastructure and services, and in many cases, environmental factors such as wetlands and steep slopes create additional development expenses. Annexation for affordable housing may be politically infeasible due to the additional costs of development, such as infrastructure, which must be subsidized by the City or passed on to the consumer in the form of higher home prices. 14 3. Community Land Trust (CLT) CLTs are becoming popular throughout the country and may be organized by the City or other actors such as a public or private nonprofit organization, The difficulty with CLTs are that they require relatively large amounts of initial capital funding to secure the necessary properties and maintain available resources for staffing, CLTs generally are 99-year leases; a long-term commitment is necessary to ensure the proper sale and resale of properties. A CLT model is being developed by a local nonprofit. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Historically, development standards have been used to ensure the public safety and maintain the status quo or integrity of a neighborhood. Overly stringent development standards increase the land costs of residential developments. Because times, technology, and needs change, updates and revisions in development standards are appropriate. Policy Options 1. Allowing Development on Non-Conforming Lots This option allows for residential development of affordable housing on existing non-conforming lots, especially where two or more of these lots are adjoining. An ordinance amendment regarding this issue was approved by the City Council in May 1993, for these situations to be examined on a case- by-case basis. One such case was approved during the past year. Additional regulatory barriers will be addressed as they are identified. 2. Changing Development Standards Development standards for new construction are often expensive, thus prohibiting the construction of affordable housing. An alternative to this may be incentives for greater use of Planned Development Housing {PDH), which might allow for narrower streets, elimination of curb and gutter, or sidewalks on one side of the street only, and cluster housing. These modifications in development standards could be incorporated into a neighborhood cost effectively while maintaining high levels of public safety. ZONING Municipal zoning laws and comprehensive land use planning are aimed at directing growth. To assist in the development of affordable housing, the following three zoning changes may be considered. Policy Options More High Density Zones There is very little developable land which is zoned for high density residential development. High density zones allow land costs to be offset by a greater number of units, making them more affordable. Attractive single and multi-family development, including manufactured housing, is possible at densities from eight to 20 units per acre. Another option is to have developments with a mixture of housing types. Community attitudes in Iowa City must be overcome in pursuing this option; many citizens react negatively not just to housing for low-income people, but to higher density development in general (and not only because the two are sometimes associated). Other associated issues such as street 15 widenings and school bond elections to construct a much-needed elementary school (many are severely overcrowded) make increasing densities in some areas even more politically unpalatable. 2. Inclusionary Zoning Inclusionary zoning is a relatively new concept to the Midwest, where most communities have housing within the reach of most residents. It requires developers to construct a number of affordable units proportional to the size of the development. The decision to pursue this policy would require a study of when and where such a requirement might be appropriate. Considering the large growth in residential development occurring at the high end of the scale, it would most likely still be possible for market-rate developers to continue to build and to make a reasonable profit, even with an inclusionary zoning policy. Lot sizes and general development standards in Iowa City are not in themselves exclusionary; the exclusion is created by the perceived market. 3. Incentive Zoning With incentive zoning, a developer would be granted density bonuses for providing public amenities such as affordable housing, walkways, or childcare. Iowa City is experimenting with this type of zoning with its PRM and CB-5 zones~. This is only a limited use of incentive zoning, however; a more extensive experiment of this in the housing area may be justified. This option would be one way to increase the density of certain development without increasing the overall allowable density in an area. BUILDING CODES Building code regulations directly influence all commercial and residential construction. The main purpose for building code regulations is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. Changes in these codes must be met with intense scrutiny because public safety is the basic responsibility of a governing body. The City's standards are and will continue to be updated every three years to take advantage of the latest technology in building materials and construction techniques. The City will need to balance housing affordability and the health and safety of all its citizens. The City already has some flexibility built into its building code regulations, such as regulations regarding the use of less expensive building materials. The following issues can be addressed: codes and building regulations enforcement bodies codes that might be insensitive to older housing stock possibly antiquated requirements environmental and state regulations rehabilitation guidelines Policy Options 1. Modify Codes Related to Building and Development Overly restrictive building codes can hinder efforts to provide affordable housing. Such is the case in Iowa City when a house is moved. Existing codes require moved houses to meet new construction codes, which in some instances is not feasible, and in other cases results in such extensive rehabilita- ~ The Planned High Density Multi-Family Residential Zone (PRM). in the Near South Side. allows a density of 50 dwelling units per acre. but contains a provision allowing higher densities for one-bedroom units (approximately 62 units per acre) and efficiencies (approximately 87 units per acre). In the CB-5 zone. also in the Near South Side, residential units that are pad of a City-approved affordable housing program are exempt from the m~nirnum parking requirements. provided that those units do not exceed 30 percent of the building's total units 16 tion that the house becomes unaffordable. Health and safety concerns must be carefully weighed against the dire need for affordable housing. Additional flexibility in Iowa City's building code regula- tions may be needed to allow for a balance between safety and affordability. Also, the City will work with the Board of Appeals and the Homebuilders Association to increase awareness in the building community of the need for affordable housing and the flexibility in the current building code that may not be common knowledge. COMMUNITY ATTITUDES A more subtle barrier to affordable housing is the attitude of the community. Rules and regulations concerning housing and discrimination can be passed by governing bodies, but a persistent, unfavor- able stigma is attached to public and low-cost housing projects and the people who live in them. If higher densities are used to foster affordable housing development, the greatest concern of existing residents will be that property values will be lowered. Concern about property values is also raised with the development of certain housing types: housing for persons with severe mental illness, single- room occupancy units, and low-income rental complexes. In addition, community attitudes affect the decisions of the City Council and influence the strength of commitment to resolving affordable housing problems. If community attitudes are going to change, the City Council must encourage broad measures for educating the community, end be prepared to experiment with unpopular solutions. Policy Options 1. Continued Commitment from City for Affordable Housing Opportunities Reaffirming Iowa City's commitment to increasing affordable housing opportunities may be the simplest method of addressing negative attitudes. Some residents may be willing to have more of an open mind about housing for low-income people if the City Council demonstrates that affordable housing is a priority. The commitment of the private sector is also important. The City will continue to work with local financial institutions and private nonprofit and for-profit developers in creating affordable housing opportunities. These joint ventures have increased in the last year or two, and ~vill continue to be the most important way in which the low-cost housing stock is expanded. 2. Dispersion of Low-Cost Housing throughout City Some of the policies discussed above will be helpful in changing the negative perception of affordable housing as this type of housing is blended with other single-family and multi-family units throughout the city. As much as possible, new development of affordable housing will be dispersed throughout different sections of the City. 17 3. Fair Housing Policy The City will continue its efforts to address discrimination that people confront in seeking housing in Iowa City. In the State of Iowa, access to housing, and equal housing services, may not be denied because of race, color, creed, sex, religion, national origin, physical/mental disability/handicap, or familial status/presence of children. The City of Iowa City has added to this: age, marital status, sexual orientation, and public assistance. The Iowa City Human Rights Commission and the Tenant/Landlord Association both report that a number of housing discrimination complaints deal with family size {see Appendix C: Human Rights Commission Report). For a large, lower-rent apartment, landlords would often times prefer to rent to a group of students than a large family on rental assistance. There is also the perception that Section 8 assistance comes with a great deal of paperwork or added inspections. One issue that the Human Rights Coordinator hears complaints about is racism encountered when trying to rent an apartment in Iowa City. According to the Human Rights Commission, there have been only one or two complaints in the last four years about discrimination based on disabilities. It is not the case that some areas of the City are ignored by local lending institutions. It is not known whether members of the real estate community "steer" renters or purchasers to certain areas. Since Iowa City has neither areas of blight nor high concentrations of minority groups, it is likely that little steering would occur. This is extremely difficult to document in any case. As mentioned before, the tight market in Iowa City, especially for lower-cost rental units, encourages discrimination by making it possible for landlords to be highly selective. The high demand for few units means landlords will follow the path of least resistance -- that is, choose tenants that will not require additional paperwork, will pay rent on time, will not upset the other neighbors, etc. Populations that require some flexibility or understanding will lose out. The number one way to address this problem is through the expansion of the affordable housing stock. The City has attempted to deal with these fair housing issues, some that are unique to Iowa City (relative to the rest of the state}, by legislating against certain types of discrimination that are per- ceived to be widespread (such as discrimination based on public assistance, e.g. FIP assistance). The City, through the Human Rights Coordinator, will continue to monitor and investigate all housing discrimination complaints, review housing advertisements, distribute information to local realtors, landlords, tenants, and housing developers, and provide input into City actions that may have an impact on specific populations. Housing discrimination problems are best attacked through education, changes in local policy, and follow-through on complaints. The City will continue to do all three, as it has in the past. D.2, Institutional Structure and Intergovernmental Cooperation The institutions described below are only those involved in a direct way with the provision of housing in Iowa City, either through programs, projects, or financing, There are dozens of entities that are involved in providing services that indirectly (but no less importantly) keep people from losing housing or allow them the opportunity to look for housing in the first place. The largest provider of affordable housing in Iowa City is the Iowa City Housing Authority. Through public housing units and Section 8 assistance, over 900 households are currently assisted with rental housing. The City's Department of Planning and Community Development is a major actor, too, with its Housing Rehabilitation Program, planning and research activities, technical assistance for housing providers, some housing development, and the administration of Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds, many of which go to housing-related projects. 18 The Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) is a Community Development Housing Organization (CHDO) and is the only nonprofit organization devoted solely to housing low-income persons, and it has so far concentrated on very low-income renters. This relatively young organization has greatly increased its capacity in the last year and has several projects on the way. LIFE Skills is a non-profit agency that operates a Housing Skills program with CDBG funding. LIFE Skills helps low income persons locate and stay in housing by helping households with budgeting and housekeeping skills. The Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP) is also a CHDO that operates within Iowa City. HACAP has been focusing on transitional housing with support services. The local lending institutions have played an increasingly important role of late in the development of affordable housing. A consortium of lenders assisted the GICHF in a project last year and again this year agreed to assist with other projects. A group of lenders, along with the City and the Board of Realtors, presented a free Homebuyer Education Seminar in which was continued this year by the private lenders. The importance of the emergency shelters in Iowa City goes without saying. These facilities provide a much-needed service and do so with resources that are always shrinking. (This year Iowa City shelters received a total of $69,600 from the Emergency Shelter Grants Program. Supportive housing providers play a vital role serving special needs populations in Iowa City. These agencies deal with not only dwindling resources, like the emergency shelters, but philosophical changes in the way they are mandated to serve their populations (such as the State's shift away from group homes for persons with developmental disabilities), Finally, the community's housing rehabilitation programs are extremely important in maintaining the City's affordable housing stock as well as upgrading it, as is the case with accessibility improvements. Elderly Services Agency runs the Small Repair Program, which assists persons with physical handicaps and/or elderly with small repairs to their homes. These repairs allow elderly persons to stay indepen- dently in their homes. PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)/Iowa Department of Economic Develop- ment. Through the Iowa Department of Economic Development, the City, nonprofit and for-profit developers will be administering HOME Investment Partnership funds from HUD. Iowa Finance Authority. In addition to administering a Rental Rehab Program, which the City finished in FY96, IFA administers the Housing Assistance Fund for acquisition, rehab, new construction and home ownership programs. They also are the state agency that administers the Low Income Housing Act Credit Program. Iowa City Public Housing Authority. The Public Housing Authority owns and manages 107 units of public housing, dispersed throughout the City plus 827 certificates and vouchers. More than 500 households are on the waiting list for rental assistance. Additionally, the PHA is in the process of selling 20 single-family units through the tenant to Owner program in FY97. The Housing Authority has more contact with individuals and families with housing problems than any other agency in the community. It also has almost daily contact with local landlords, through the Section 8 program, and with human service agencies. Department of Planning and Community Development. Five full-time members of the Community Development Division will continue its affordable housing activities: 1) research and planning; 2) administer CDBG and HOME funds; 3) prepare the Consolidated Plan, The Annual Performance Report, Grantee Performance Report{s) and CDBG Program Statement (the latter two for the Community 19 Development Block Grant program); 4) technical assistance for and cooperation with housing nonprofit and for-profit developers; 5) rehabilitation program; and 6) other affordable housing projects. NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP). DVIP serves mainly women who are victims of domestic abuse and their children. This is the only emergency shelter of its type in Iowa City and surrounding areas. Ecumenical Consultation of Churches. The Consultation consists of 19 member congregations and is the umbrella organization for the Ecumenical Towers Housing Project, the Emergency Housing Project (see below), and the Common Fund. Elderly Services Agency. Elderly Services Agency runs several programs dealing with housing people who are elderly. The Shared Housing program provides elderly persons with housing alternatives, support services and a safe environment, by sharing their home with another person. Each person has private space and shares common areas such as the kitchen and living room. Elderly Services Agency also runs the Small Repair Program, which does small repairs to homes so that low-income elderly or handicapped persons can stay safely in their own homes. Emergency Housing Project (EHP). EHP is an emergency shelter serving homeless local people or people passing through town. EHP provides shelter, showers, telephone, and referrals to appropriate agen- cies. Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF). The goal of the GICHF is to develop and provide decent, affordable housing for low-income residents of the Iowa City area, especially to holders of Section 8 vouchers and certificates. The GICHF also has a program providing loans for rental deposits. Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity. An affiliate of this international housing ministry has begun in Iowa City, and has purchased a lot on the east side of Iowa City and completed one home. Low-income families are selected to work with Habitat in the construction of a new home for the family. Habitat for Humanity receives gifts, volunteer time, and no-interest loans to build or renovate simple, decent homes for people who are inadequately sheltered. Construction is a cooperative venture between volunteers and homebuyers. Houses are sold at no profit and with a no-interest mortgage repaid over a 15- to 25-year period. The house payments are then recycled to build more houses. Hawkeye Area Community Action Program. HACAP provides a variety of programs to help those in need in the Iowa City area, several of which are housing-related: Energy Assistance; Weatherization; Homeless Outreach and Support; Utility, Shelter and Financial Related Counseling; Mortgage Resolution Assistance, and Transitional Housing. HACAP's Transitional Housing Program provides housing and supportive services for families for up to eighteen months to enable them to become self-sufficient through counseling, referrals, job training, and household management skills. Hillcrest Family Services. Hillcrest Residence (a program of Hillcrest Family Services) has as its mission to help clients become successful in the living, learning, and working environment of their choice, with maximum feasible independence from helping professionals. Hillcrest serves adults with histories of psychiatric or emotional problems that prevent them from living independently. Evert Conner Center for Independent Living, Inc. This private, nonprofit agency teaches daily living skills to adults with developmental disabilities to greatly enhance their ability to participate indepen- dently in the community. Skills are taught through self-advocacy, support groups, counseling, and educational and vocational programs. 20 lIFE Sial/Is, inc. LIFE Skills provides services in many areas to many different groups, but one of its newest programs assists people by teaching the skills needed for both looking for and staying in housing. Systems Unlimited, Inc. Systems Unlimited provides permanent, long-term housing for people with developmental disabilities in group home and apartment settings. Respite care is available on an emergency basis, if space is available. In-home care is also available. Youth Homes, Inc. Youth Homes provides emergency and short-term care, counseling, and supervision to troubled or homeless unaccompanied adolescents. Its services include crisis intervention counsel- ing; emergency residential services; and group and individual counseling to youth including pregnant teens or teenage mothers who are homeless. PRIVATE INDUSTRY Local developers, Most of the new affordable housing in Iowa City (not including the Public Housing Authority) has come from local for-profit developers. One developer, Burns and Associates, has several new projects in the works, including one with a housing nonprofit. Local lending institutions. With the City's involvement, several of the local lending institutions have formed consortia to help fund several recent projects by the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship, for affordable rental housing rehabilitation and new construction. They have indicated interest in continu- ing assistance for rental and owner-occupied housing projects. Several lenders were also involved in a homebuyers educational seminar. D.3. Public Housing Improvements The Iowa City Housing Authority is facing a changing public housing program. Tenant initiatives of HUD encourage homeownership which will eventually change the mixture of housing units within the program. Through the Section ,5 (h) and HOPE programs the Iowa City Housing Authority is working toward transferring some of the existing property. These changes will create a management task focused on single family and semi-detached housing units. Over the next five years, the strengths of the tenants and management will be used to improve the program, The living environment of the public housing and Section 8 tenants is generally very good. The scattered site nature of the Iowa City Housing Authority units provides the tenants and participants the same living environments of the larger population. With little segregation of public housing units, there are no major activities planned for this segment of the housing stock. D.4. Public Housing Resident Initiatives The Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA) is undertaking a homeownership program that will entail the transfer of units from public control to private ownership, the Tenant-to-Owner Program (TOP). The program is driven by replacement awards provided by HUD. The initial offering under this program will be replaced by newly constructed public housing units. There will not be a significant net decrease in the number of public housing units available to very low-income families since the funds from these sales will eventually be used to replace the units that are sold. The mix of units will gradually change to scattered site single or duplex units. The ICHA's plan will recognize the choice of the tenant 'to participate in the management of the complexes in which they live. For those tenants for whom homeownership is an option, tenant groups have been started at the two major complexes of the ICHA and plans are laid for tenant or condomini- um associations to be formed at other apartment units operated by the Housing Authority. As the 21 transfer of property begins, staffing efforts will be refocused on the complexes and other multi-family units. The objective is to begin the program with 20 single-family and duplex units. For tenants not wishing homeownership options, programming will be directed toward creating tenant support groups and family self-sufficiency programming to support them in their tenancy, D.5, Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction The reduction of lead poisoning in children and abatement of lead based hazards is a task with so many facets that a community-wide effort must be instituted. The strategy of the City is to organize a public/private partnership to seek solutions for this problem. The education of City residents as to the actual problem will need to parallel efforts to organize the community response so that a responsible plan may be obtained. Current abatement of lead-based paint hazards on a systematic level has only been achieved through the Iowa City Housing Authority. The public housing stock of the City of Iowa City is certified as being free of lead-based paint hazards. In recognition, local owners and contractors have on their own initiative abeted some other properties. The demolition of older houses still remains as the operative method of lead-based paint abatement in Iowa City. Housing and Inspections Services in the Rental Permit Program identifies and cites rental units with chipping, peeling, cracking paint and requires abatement of the problem. Prior to issuance of a rental permit, Housing and Inspection Services also requires the owner to certify that the property complies with 24 CFR, Part 35 as it applies to lead- based paint. There are no requirements for mandatory testing and abatement of older housing stock. The City's housing rehabilitation program regularly tests children six and under for elevated lead blood levels and also sends paint chips for testing, as necessary. 22 The following is our plan for the reduction of lead*based paint hazards in Iowa City in 1996. Representatives from the Iowa City Department of Planning and Community Development, Housing and Inspection Services, the Iowa City Community School District, the Apartment Owners Association, the Johnson County Department of Health, the Housing Commission, and one or more citizen representatives met to discuss lead paint hazards. Although the threat of lead paint hazards are low due to code enforcement, public education should be the City's top priority. Attention is being given to facilitating the identification and organization of testing services for both people and property. Concurrently material for public dissemination can be studied and approved. Use of schools, cable, television, radio, and written material will expose the general public as to the risks and the prevention of lead hazards. Collection of data as to the size of the problem would lead to an understanding of the resources that will eventually need to be committed to this problem. The new Lead Based Paint Final Rule was published in Spring 1996. This new rule will serve as a guide for the actions that will be undertaken in our federally funded programs, especially housing rehabilitation and assisted housing. 23 D.6. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing The following actions were undertaken by the City of Iowa City, in the City's fiscal year 1996, to affirmatively further fair housing. Also see the Human Rights Commission's Annual Report in Appendix C. ACTIONS TAKEN TO AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHER FAIR HOUSING Actions Taken Results Iowa City Human Rights Commission advertises on a weakly basis on fair housing discrimination in the Daily Iowan & Advertiser PSAs on Housing Discrimination are shown on Cable Channel 29 in Iowa City Pamphlets and posters on the fair housing discrimi- nation law are disseminated to community organi- zations end are displayed at the University and Civic Center and library and on City buses Monitoring for illegal advertisements is done regu- larly by the Human Rights Coordinator Referrals of housing discrimination complaints outside Iowa City's jurisdiction were made to HUD and the Iowa Civil Rights Commission Fair Housing Law video disseminated in the com- munity Revising Human Rights Ordinance to become sub- stantially equivalent Commission brochures are sent to landlord-owners by the Housing and Inspection Services Division Filed three housing discrimination complaints with state for investigation.

PERFORMANCE A. Expansion of the affordable housing stock This analysis covers the 1996 Iowa City fiscal year (July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996). The City allocated both HOME Investment Partnership and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for a variety of activities. Overall, the expansion of the housing stock was good: 27 units were added to the rental housing stock, 33 new units of public housing were completed, five households received relocation assistance, 180 new households received Section 8 vouchers and certificates or moved into public housing, and local lenders leveraged over $40,000 in State funds to help 17 lower income home buyers. New units. Approximately $18,400 in CDBG funding was used to complete the pur- chase and renovation of one unit of manufactured housing. This was a pilot program to promote a more cost-effective method of providing affordable housing. While all the funding for this project was expended, the pilot project was discontinued. Using $1 §0,000 in HOME and CDBG funds, D&K Properties (a for-profit), the Emergen- cy Housing Project (a non-profit) and the City of Iowa City worked together to develop 9 units of Single Room Occupancy housing with supportive services funded by $2000 of CDBG funds. All of the units will be rented at or below Fair Market Rent for 1 5 years, with 5 of the units targeted for rent reductions. It is expected that these targeted rooms will rent for between $125 and $175 per month which is approximately $100 per month below the private market rate. Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP) used $141,647 in CDBG funds and approximately $603,000 in City funds (a 7% loan) to purchase 18 - 3 bedroom units for their Transitional Housing Program. The households renting these units will also be receiving supportive services from HACAP. Currently HACAP has filled 17 units and is using the other one as an on-site office. LandAcquisition/Landscaping. The Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship, a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and a for-profit developer used $100,000 CDBG and $60,000 HOME funds to purchase land on which 16 units of affordable rental housing will be built beginning in FY97. All of the units will be rented at Fair Market Rent levels for the 20 year affordability period. Also, $29,574 in CDBG funds were used to landscape the 33 new public housing units built by the Iowa City Housing Authority in the Whispering Meadows Subdivision. The project came in under budget so some of the funds were used to provide playground equipment and landscaping for 28 units at another two other public housing sites (Shamrock Place and Muscatine). Projects Canceled/Underway. Due to a delay in receiving a waiver from HUD, the First National Bank's manufactured home loan program, which received $80,000 in HOME funds for downpayment assistance, will not begin until FY97. At least 32 low income households will benefit through this program. Another project (FY95 funds that had been carried over to FY96) for the acquisition of land and\or construction of rental units by the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship and Robert 25 Burn was canceled due to a variety of problems (finding land, rezoning etc.). The $150,000in CDBG and $150,000in HOME funds were returned to the City and reallo- cated. Rehabilitation of the existing affordable housing stock Due to the high cost of both owner-occupied and rental housing in Iowa City, the maintenance of the affordable housing stock for low income households is a high priority, In FY96 approximately $425,000 in CDBG end HOME funds were spent on rehabilitation projects for owners and renters. Owners. With the help of $24,1 31 in CDBG funds, the Elderly Services Agency made small repairs for 44 elderly households and persons with disabilities. By making these small repairs or accessibility modifications the homeowners are able to continue residing in their home safely. The City of Iowa City used approximately $295,500 in CDBG and $70,300 in HOME funds to complete rehabilitation on 31 owner-occupied units. Numerous other projects are underway. The City maintains a waiting list of eligible, low income households who are in need of some type of rehabilitation. The Rehabili- tation Program offers comprehensive rehab, residential accessibility, emergency repair, exterior repair and mobile home repair. Over the last two years the office has seen a large increase in the number of applications for mobile home repair. Renters. With $25,352 in CDBG and $9,148 in state funds, the City of Iowa City rehabilitated one four-unit building. This represents the completion of the City's rental rehabilitation program due to the lack of interest in the program by local landlords. Support agencies that provide services to help people secure and stay in housing Services to the homeless and to low income households have become increasingly important because of the tight rental market in Iowa City. Through its CDBG program and the allocation of General Funds the City provides support to human service agencies offering housing and other services to low income and homeless people. In FY96 the City used $153,084 in CDBG and over $300,000 in general revenue funds for its Aid to Agencies program. Services. The Mid-Eastern Council on Chemical Abuse used $24,500 in CDBG funds, in conjunction with other funds, to provide services to 4,734 individuals in need of comprehensive substance abuse prevention and treatment programs. With $53,500 of CDBG assistance, the Elderly Services Agency provided services to help elderly persons remain in their homes. LIFE Skills used $17,762 in CDBG funds to provide training in basic household skills to 57 households; along with another local nonprofit they also started a Tool Pool Project to enable low income persons to borrow small tools for home maintenance repairs. The Furniture Project also received funding, $10,000 CDBG and $10,000 from the City's Landfill account, for operational expenses. This project is designed to provide homeless and other low income persons with furniture, since many of them are moving 26 out of one of the emergency shelters and do not have any furnishings. A second benefit to the Furniture Project is that they collect and distribute items that may have gone to the landfill -- the recycling of the items helps cut down the use of the landfill. The City of Iowa City is also the administrative agent for federal Emergency Shelter Grant funds that are passed through the State of Iowa. With $4,000 of Emergency Shelter Grant program funds and a $10,000 local bank loan pool, the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship established a Security Deposit Loan Program. In addition, the City of Iowa City administered another $65,600 in Emergency Shelter Grant funds for three local homeless shelters (EHP, DVIP and Youth Homes); these funds were used for homeless prevention, rehabilitation and operational expenses. Rehabilitation. The Emergency Housing Project received $24,500 in CDBG funds to renovate three bathrooms which were in dire need of replacement. The Domestic Violence Intervention Program received $83,418 in CDBG funds to provide new space for a children's area, counseling, storage and office space. Rent Assistance. The Iowa City Housing Authority received $150,000 in HOME funds for a Tenant Based Rent Assistance Program which will provide assistance for twenty households for up to 24 months. This project was designed to coordinate housing with the other components of the Family Self-Sufficiency program. Projects Canceled. The Johnson County Adult Day Care Program had to temporarily cancel its plan to build a new facility. The FY96 CDBG allocation of $100,000 was returned to the City for reallocation in FY9'7.-Johnson County Adult Day has now consolidated its efforts with another local (Cedar Rapids) agency, however, they contin- ue to provide services in Johnson County. Feasibility studies and planning As a second step to overcoming the barriers to affordable housing, City staff prepared a "Housing Options" document. In addition, staff began planning a community housing forum and completed requests for FY97 CDBG and HOME funding for a Single Room Occupancy project, homeownership assistance, and housing rehabilitation. Summa~ Overall the FY96 CDBG and HOME projects were successful. Several larger projects were started and will be completed in FY97. Both CDBG and HOME projects, that target housing for low income persons, filled a need in the community and provided a continu- um of care (emergency housing, supportive services, transitional housing, rent assis- tance and permanent housing opportunities). 27 APPENDIX A DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FYg6 CONSOLIDATED PLAN PERFORMANCE REPORT Planning and Community Development staff completed the FY96 Annual Performance Report (APR) using the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy {CHAS) guidelines, as per the direction of HUD's Omaha Field Office (see Appendix D). This report utilized a number of resources including the CDBG Grantee Performance Report, Emergency Shelter Grant report, and information collected from local human service agencies. A 30-day public comment period began on August 23, 1996, when the draft of the plan was published and distributed for public review and comment. An advertisement was placed in the local newspaper, the Press-Citizen, on August 23, 1996, that notified the public of the availability of this APR, the CDBG Grantee Performance Report, and the HOME Annual Performance Report. On September 10, 1996, the City Council set a public hearing for September 24, 1996, to receive comments on this report. The public hearing notice was published on September 18, 1996. In addition, the Housing and Community Development Commission held a public hearing to receive input on September 12, 1996. Notice of this opportunity to comment on the report was posted in the civic center, the public library and ,distributed to the media via the Council information packets on August 30, 1996. After the City Council held the public hearing they reviewed and approved the APR on September 24, 1996. 28 APPENDIX B SUMMARY OF PUBLIC COMMENTS AND SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS TAKEN At the September 12, 1996, Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) meeting a public hearing on the FY96 APR was conducted. No comments were received.

The Human Rights Ordinance is Iowa City's anti-discrimination law. The law gives the Human Rights Commission the jurisdiction to investigate allegations of discrimination in the areas of employment, credit transactions, education, public accommoda- tions and housing. It is the mission of the Human Rights Commission to eradicate discrimina- tion in Iowa City, based on age, color, creed, disability, marital status, national odgin, race, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity. In the area of housing, discrimination based on familial status, presence or absence of dependents or public assistance source of income is also prohibited. The Human Rights Ordinance gives the Commission the authorrty to enforce the law prohibiting discrimination and to conciliate an agreement between the parties involved in a complaint. The Commission also has the responsibility of educating the public on the vadous forms of discrimination that exist in the iowa City area and protecting citizens from unfounded charges of discrimination. The Human Rights Commission is a quasi-judicial body composed of nine volunteer members appointed by the City Council. Each member serves a three year term. Appointments to the Human Rights Commission take into consideration men and women of various racial, religious, cultural and socio-economic groups in Iowa City. The Human Rights Commission is comprised of nine members. The Commission meets once each month at 7:00 p.m. in the lobby conference room in the Civic Center. The meeting site is accessible to persons with disabilities. ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FISCAL YEAR 1996 1.

COMPLAINT ACTIVITy_ Dudng the period of July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996, thirty-six (36) new formal discrimination complaints were filed. Of the 36 complaints, thirty-two (32) 88% were complaints of employment discrimination two (2) 5% were complaints of discrimination in public accommoda- tions and two (2) 5% complaints dealt with housing discrimination in areas not covered by the State Civil Rights Commission or the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Fair Housing Chapter of Iowa City Human Rights Ordinance is not substantially equivalent to the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1989, therefore, the Iowa City Human Rights Commission may not exercise autonomy in implementing the protective and remedial measures of the Human Rights Ordinance of iowa City as it relates to housing discrimination complaints. As noted in the previous section, #5, the Human Rights Commission is taking steps to rectify this situation and fulfill the Ordinance on every point. The most frequently identified single basis for formal complaints in the 1995-96 fiscal year was race, with 10 complaints constituting 28% of the total number. The second largest category was disability disodmination, 8 cases (22%), followed by sex discrimination and retaliation in employment, 5 cases (14%) respectively. In the category of age dts~minstion, 2 cases (5%) were filed. Them was one 1 complaint on the basis of national origin and marital status (3%) respectively. Four complaints (11%), alleged multiple violations of protected categories including disability and age, disability and sex, race and national origin and retaliation and sex. Twelve additional human rights complaints were filed by the Iowa City Human Rights Coordinator and sent to the State Civil Rights Commission for investigation. Four of the twelve complaints pertained to allegations of housing discrimination while 8 of the complaints were out of the Iowa City Human Rights Commission's jurisdiction. The number of complaints filed with the Iowa City Human Rights Commission, 36, has decreased by 11 from last year's 47 complaints. However, with the exception of 1989, this is an increase over any other year between 1981 and 1994 (see graph).
