RESOLUTION NO. 95-12
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BY CHANGING THE
LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF
HIGHWAY 1 WEST FROM 8-16 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND 16-24
DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE TO 2-8 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND
GENERAL COMMERCIAL.
WHEREAS, the City's comprehensive plan is a statement of goals and policies for the
community; and
WHEREAS, to be an effective guide for a vital community, the plan is flexible and amendable
within the context of said goals and objectives described within the plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, following public hearing has made the following findings:
Portions of the vacant properties located north of Highway 1 west and known
as the Ruppert tract are designated for 8-16 dwelling units per acre.
Portions of the vacant properties located north of Highway 1 west, east of
Harlocke Street, and known as the Jensen tract are designated for 16-24
dwelling units per acre.
Due to the topography of the area, and increased vehicular congestion in the
immediate area, development at densities greater than 8 units per acre is
inappropriate and would have negative effects on adjacent properties.
Designating for development those properties known as the Jensen tract and
the western portion of the Ruppert tract at 2-8 dwelling units per acre
recognizes the topographic and vehicular access limitations of these areas,
Designating the property known as the eastern portion of the Ruppert tract for
commercial development recognizes the appropriateness of commercial
development on this portion of the property' which has vehicular access to
Highway 1 west.
WHEREAS, based upon the preceeding findings, the City Council of Iowa City determines that
changing the land use map designation of property located north of Highway 1 and east of
Harlocke Street, known as the Jensen tract, from 16-24 dwelling units per acre to 2-8
dwelling units per acre falls within the context of the goals and objectives of the comprehen-
sive plan; and

changing the land use map designation of property located north of Highway 1, known as the
western portion of the Ruppert tract, from 8-16 dwelling units per acre to 2-8 dwelling units
per acre falls within the context of the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan; and

CITY STEPS, Citizen Participation Plan, and Needs, Priorities and Strategies
Sections
As a result of written comments as well as comments received at the Public Hearing on January
17, 1995, some changes have been made to the Needs, Strategies, Objectives and Priorities
section 'of the Consolidated Plan (CITY STEPS). All changes are in bold letters and underlined.
The substantive changes are:
In response to comments from Rosemary Friedrich of the Alliance for the Mentally III, a
note has been added on p. 9, stating that all housing needs for persons with special
needs (including permanent housing for persons who are chronically mentally ill) are
addressed in the Homeless Needs section. (The detailed version of the Consolidated
Plan will also address special needs housing in the housing section).
In response to comments from Jim Swaim, Executive Director of United Action for Youth,
the possible need for a youth recreational center in the future v~as added on p. 16, and
the need for after school programs at the Junior High School level was added on p. 22.
Under the strategy "Encourage employment opportunities.., , objective a. on p. 26 was
clar'fied to read "dererin ne and publicize industry standards for h dng, wages and benefits
within the community."
Several additions to the text relating to homeless needs and public facilities and services
were made in response to written comments from Ellen McCabe, Executive Director of the
Crisis Center.
No changes were made to any priority rankings. Staff and the Priority and Strategies Committee
members felt that home buyers assistance programs for owners at 50% median income or more,
should remain a medium priority. Similarly, the need for an easily accessible day shelter for
homeless persons .was stressed so strongly at public meetings, that it was retained as a high
priority.
Finally, Pat Jordan's comments related to the high percentage of homeless persons with mental
illness in the emergency shelter, will be addressed in the more detailed narrative in the final
Consolidated Plan.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
Also attached to this memo is the revised Citizen Participation Plan where on p. 3 the meaning
of Uoriginal budget" is clarified.
Answers to most of the written questions relating to CITY STEPS submitted to the staff by Bruno
Pigott at the January 16 meeting are also included. We have not responded to comment #8
which refers to the need for caution in expanding the bus system (see p. 20 objective a. under
"Improve Access to Transportation"). This is a Council policy decision.
Unless you want any further changes in the two documents, this is the final form for your
approval. Please call Steven Nasby at 356-5248 or Stephen Long at 356-5250 if you have any
questions.

Rs:
Answers to CITY STEPS Questions and Comments Submitted by Bruno Pigott
Question 1: Is the percentage of owner-occupied to rented units staying the same.
changing. or increasing?
Increasing. In 1980, homeowners occupied 47.2% of the housing stock and 52.8% were
renters. By 1990, homeowners occupied 44.8% and renters 55.2% of the housing stock.
Question 2: How does the growth rate of manufactured housing compare with state and
national rates7
The number of manufactured housing units in the state has grown from 24,285 in 1970 to
68,479 in 1990, which represents a 9.1% average annual growth rate. In Iowa City the
number of manufactured housing units has increased from 685 in 1970 to 1,298 in 1990, an
average annual growth rate of 4.5%. In Johnson County the numbers are 1,276 units in
1970 and 3,141 units in 1990, a growth rate of 7.3% annually. The higher rate in the
County may be due to the availability of appropriately zoned land.
Question 3: What is the national percentage of low-income owner. occupied units to total
owner-occupied units?
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that statewide the number of low-income homeowners is
244,007 or 22.9%, while in Iowa City 24% of homeowners are low-income. Nationally,
HUD's 1990 American Housing Survey estimates that 25.9% of homeowners are low-income
(<80% of median).
Question 4: What percentage of homes owned by low-income people were built before
19767
Data is not available that allows us to correlate with any degree of accuracy income of owner
with age of housing stock.
Question 5A: Why has the number of households assisted by the City's Housing Rehab
program decreased over the last four years?
There are two main reasons for the decrease in households assisted through the rehab
program. The first is that the cost of rehabilitating property has outpaced budget increases
for this program, which has reduced the total number of homes that can be assisted.
Secondly, during the past two years a great deal of rehab activity has been centered around
flood damage repair. An additional 81 flood-related homes have been rehabilitated over the
past two years.
2
Question 5B: Verification of figures:
12,500 rental units (estimated 1994 figure)
9, 823 owner-occupied (1990 Census)
22,323 TOTAL units?
The 12,500 figure is an estimate of available multi-family units based on building permits
issued since 1990. The 1990 CHAS reports 12,128 rental units, and 9,823 owner-occupied
units for a 1990 total of 21,951.
Verification: Page 7 - ff 15,550 units were built before 1976, does this mean
that 6,773 units were built post 19767 30%? Yet 40% (3,941) of the
owner-occupied units were built post 19707
Yes, even if the 1990 total units number of 21,951 is used, it indicates that 30% of the total
housing stock was built after 1976. Because the 15,550 housing units constructed before
1 976 are not broken down by the Census into owner-occupied and rental, it is impossible to
compare the two figures.
Question 6: Please explain the reverse mortgage concept.
Reverse mortgage programs are designed to allow elderly homeowners with significant equity
in their homes (often 100%) to draw on that equity as a source of income. Working in
coordination with a lending agency, individuals borrow a monthly sum against the equity in
their homes -- the reverse of how a mortgage works. The lender holds the increasing balance
as a first or second trust against the property and is reimbursed upon the properry's sale. In
the trust agreement the lender establishes the total loan amount that can be drawn against.
The reverse mortgage concept could theoretically be risky in communities with a depreciating
housing market. Usually the total loan amount is based upon a fairly high loan-to*value ratio
reducing the amount of exposure for both lender and consumer.
Question 7: Please verify the number of children in emergency shelters.
Approximately 200 children, accompanied by an adult, used the shelter system in FY94:
EHP: 47
DVIP: 145
Youth Homes served an additional 181 youth who were unaccompanied.
Question 8: Transportation
Addressed in Marianne Milkman's CITY STEPS memo dated January 25, 1995.
Question 9: Temporary jobs in the workforce
Total non-agricultural jobs in Johnson County for 1993 (last year data were available}:
58,400. Estimated number of temporary jobs (from a survey of temporary hiring agencies):
3,500. Percentage of temporary jobs in the workforce: 6%.
However, staff believes the 3,500 temporary jobs figure significantly underestimates the total
number of temporary jobs in the workforce. Several major users of temporary workers find
employees without the help of temporary agencies {e.g. ACT, NCS), so these jobs may not
be included in the estimate.

CITY STEPS
1/26/95
Iowa City's Consolidated Plan
tbr Housing, Jobs and Services
for Low-Income Residents
NEEDS, STRATEGIES, OBJECTIVES AND PRIOR/TIES
INTRODUCTION
This CITY STEPS draft document makes recommendations to guide the City in olanning for assistance to its
low-income population over the next five years. (Low income is defined as any household whose income is below
80% of median income for Iowa City.) The preparation of this document began in October 1994 with the
gathering of information and a series of public meetings to identify the needs of the low-income population. In
November and December a group of eight citizens (the CITY STEPS Priorities and Strategies Committee) met with
the Community Development staff and discussed the extent of the identified needs in the areas of housing, jobs and
services. Tt/e group also attempted to determine the biggest gaps and inadequacies in the current assistance pro-
grams, and discussed strategies to meet all the identified needs.
After considerable discussion, the Committee agreed that the overall goal of CITY STEPS is to encourage and
support families and individuals in achieving their highest degree of self-sufficiency. With this goal in mind,
and using the need categories required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 0-1UD), the
Committee then proceeded to rank the perceived needs, -- a very difficult and almost overwhelming process.
Needs were given a ranking of High, Medium, Low or No Such Need. These rankings am not absointe and are
subject to change upon presentation of evidence that a need does exist. In general, low priority rankings indicate
that existing services are adequately meeting current demand, or that no specific needs have been identified at this
time. It is also important to remember that these are not the needs of the City as a whole, but those of its low-
income residents only. Thus, Water Improvements have a Low Priority ranking as far as the low-income population
alone is concerned, but these improvements are a high priority for the City as a whole.
This document has been revised to address comments received in writing and at the Public Hearing on
January 17, 1995. All changes are in bold and are underlined.
I.NEED FOR DECENT HOUSING THAT IS AFFORDABLE
A. Renters (small and large households)
Strategy: Aggressively pursue federal and state housing assistance programs
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
The 1990 Census data show that them are approximately 2,500 low-income renter households
paying more than 30% of their income for housing. In addition, there are 909 households
receiving rental assistance through the Public Housing Authority (PHA). In order for low
income households to maintain a decent standard of living it is important that they not pay more
than 30% of their gross income for housing.
The PHA currently has 82 units of scattered site public housing and is in the process of
constructing 33 units of single-family housing and purchasing another 10 units. As funds
become available from HUD the PHA applies for funds to increase the number of public
housing units and the number of Section 8 Certificates and Vouchers. The PHA has a waiting
list of approximately 500 households who are in need of assistance (June 30, 1994 figures).
Tenant based rent assistance programs seem to provide households with the greatest flexibility
regarding housing type, location, and access to the larger private sector rental market. Tenant
based assistance programs are available through the HOME program, however, to date HOME
funds have not been used for this purpose.
The high cost of damage and utility deposits acts as a bintier to entrance into the rental market
for very low-income families/individuals. There are no current rental policies that allow pay-
ments to be spread over a few months to ease the cash-up-front crisis. Greater Iowa City
Housing Fellowship, in conjunction with First National Bank, has a loan program that provides
deposit assistance.
Many households are one small crisis away from homelesshesS. In order to assist families to
remain In their housing, HACAP operates two programs providing limited assistmice with utility
payments for income qualifying individuals. The Salvation Army provides assistance with
water payments up to $50.00 for a small handful of individuals/families. The State of Iowa
operates a fund that allocates $$00.00 a year to income eligible families with children to keep
them in their homes. In addition there are small, private groups providing emergency assis-
Objectives:
Maintaining and increasing Public Hou~'ing and Section 8 certificates and
vouchers.
Investigate and initiate Tenant Based Rental ~4ssistance Programs.
Encourage development of other financial assistance programs such as deposit
and emergency payments for rent and utilities.
Priority:
HIGH for households under 30% median income.
MEDIUM for all other households.

q-00
Strategy: Maintain and expand affordable rental housing stock
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
There are approximately 12,500 rental units in Iowa City. Since a majority of low
income households are renters it is important to maintain and expand the stock of units
available within the community. HUD's Fair Market Rent calculations are based on the
45th pereeatile of rents of all units in Iowa City. This represents approximately 5,625
units. Yet, due to very low incomes and overall high rent levels in Iowa City, many
households still cannot afford the fair market rent and must rely on rent assistance pro-
grams including public housing and Sectinn 8. In order to increase the stock of units
affordable to low income households federal programs can be used to rehabilitate or
construct new units.
An effort to increase the number of units affordable to low income persons has been
undertaken by non-profits, for-profits and pablie-private partnerships. The main obsta-
cle to expanding the stock of affordable units is the lack of available, developable land
within different parts of the community.
The need for housing that is affordable was mentioned as one of the greatest needs in
Iowa City at several CITY STEPS meetings. An effective way to address this need is
by forging publie\private partnerships. In the past few years this type of arrangement
has produced a few units of affordable housing. At the present time there are two pub-
lie\private ventures in the planning stages, one between the Greater Iowa City Housing
Fellowship (GICHF) and Robert Bums and Associates (rental housing units for lower
income households), and the other between the City of Iowa City and Robert and Erma
Wolf (340 manufactured housing pads including 116 pads reserved for lower income
households). Both of these projects are mixed income housing developments.
Satisfying the need for affordable housing units requires a wide spectrum of housing
options. Traditionally these options were limited to large complexes of rental housing.
Other types of housing such as manufactured housing, and mixed-income developments
may also be used to meet the housing needs of the community.
As indicated in HUD Table 1, 40% of the homeless adults counted on October 20~
1994~ were single (EHP reported during FY94 that 84% of its clients were single, 72%
or 606 being single men). Data collected during the October 20th count also suggests
that 93% of the adult respondents hoped to remain in Iowa City, therefore as many as
657 single individuals could be seeking permanent housing in our community each year.
Shelter records show that many of these individuals do succeed in finding some type
of housing, but many return to the shelter after eviction, domestic dispute, or personal
crisis. Easier access to services may prevent these cyclical crises.
In order to maintain the City's housing stock, housing code enforcement is important.
Housing and Inspection Services, a City department, conducts about 4,000 inspections
per year. The majority of these are rental inspections. This office also issues building
permits, inspects new construction projects, and enforces the City's zoning ordinance,
thus maintaining the rental housing stock in compliance with the code.
The 1990 Census data reports that Iowa City has approximately 15,550 housing units
constructed pre- 1976, before many energy efficiency measures and codes went into
effect. There are several agencies that provide efficiency modification assistance. They
are the Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP), Elderly Services Agency
(ESA), and the City Housing Rehabilitation Program. These agencies provide assistance

with insulation, weatherstripping, furnaces, and window replacement. Assistance with
energy efficiency improvements is a continuing need for low-income households.
Due to a national awareness and concorn, HUD has placed the lead based paint issue
as a high priority and has provided some funds for abatement. Generally, th0 lead
based paint problems are occurring in the larger cities especially in poorly maintained
neighborhoods. In Iowa City there have been a relatively low number of children under
age 7 who have tested positively for elevated lead blood levels. The low number of
affected children may ~ the result of code enforcement and the maintenanco practices
of local landlords. Even though the number of affected children is low, a number of
households remain at risk. According to our researeh for the 1994 CHAS, there may
be as many as 1,863-2,458 households with children under age seven living in units
with lead based paint somewhere within the structure. (NOTE: These statistics are
based on national averages and may not be an accurate reflection of Iowa City's
housing stock) The City does address lead paint hazards through its Housing Rehabili-
tation program, whero t~sting and abatement occurs in units with lead based paint and
children under age seven. Additionally, Housing and Inspection Services provides
information regarding lead-based paint hazards and abatement to landlords.
Iowa City has an active historic preservation record, including a Historic Preservation
Plan, the designation of historic districts, preservation activities, and support of the
Salvage Barn. In addition, all projects funded with federal funds must address historic
preservation issues.

Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
Basic coping and day-to-day living skills were mentioned as nee, ds at every CITY
STEPS public meeting and discussion. Support for creating and expanding living skills
training programs was cited by several agencies.

Objectives:
An agency that currently addresses those needs is LIFE Skills, Inc. which is a private
non-profit organization devoted to providing education and assistance to children, adults,
families, and persons with special needs. LIFE Skills operates a Housing Support Pro-
gram that works with families at risk of losing their housing due to a lack of home
maintenance, home safety skills, budgeting, communication skills, and coping skills.
Assistance is provided to help these families gain a sense of responsibility and account-
ability to their neighbors and landlords. The Housing Support Program assisted 31
households in 1992 and 39 households in 1993. Current funding provides for only one,
half-time position to provide these housing support services. If additional staff funding
was available it is anticipated that this or other programs could be significantly expand-
ed to assist more families and provide more services.
The need for improved communication and education between landlords and tenants
was cited at several CITY STEPS meetings. Uncertainty about regulations, fear of
eviction and feelings of disenfranchisament serve to decrease the quality of life for low-
income tenants.
One of the main problems for Iow-inceme household is locating affordable units. Many
of the low-income persons do not have the resources to fully utilize commercial rental
locator services or publications. LIFE Skills, Inc. has assisted many low-income house-
holds with apartment location and completion of applications. This service is used by
persons with Section 8 vouchers and certificates that are having difficulty locating a unit
on their own.

B. Owners
Strategy: Increase opportunities for entry into homeownership
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
The median price of a single-family home in Iowa City is $106,500, which makes
homeownership difficult for many households and nearly impossible for low-income
households. When homeownership opportunities arise for these income groups, it is
generally for an older home that is likely to be in need of repair. The City's housing
rehabilitation program assists first-time and existing low income homeowners. Accessi-
bility is also an important aspect of the housing rehab program. Many persons who are
disabled cannot afford to make the necessary modifications to their homes.
In order to assist potential first-time homebuyers, the City, in conjunction with several
banks and real estate agencies, planned and conducted a homebuyers educational
seminar. The seminar was widely advertised and was free of charge to anyone interest-
ed in attending. Approximately 20 persons attended the first meeting in July 1993. A
second seminar was held in March 1994 and more than 100 persons were in attendance.
There is a seasonally high-demand for such education opportunities that helps potential
homebuyers research the feasibility of buying and maintaining a home.

Objectives:
Priority:
The City of Iowa City has used CDBG fi~nds for a modest downpayment assistance
program in the past. This program assisted 10 low income households, these house-
holds all qualified for and received private mortgages. Several of the households also
accessed the State of Iowa downpayment assistance program called Iowa Housing
Assistance Program (1HAP). This program provides a household with up to $2750 in
matching funds for downpayment and closing costs. Two government housing pro-
grams, Fannie Mac and Freddie Mac, also provide some assistance with home-
ownership to low income households through local lenders participating in the pro-
grams.
Additionally, the Iowa City Public Housing Authority has a program that helps current
PHA tenants with purchasing a home. This Tenant to Owner Program (TOP) will be
helping to increase the opportunities for homeownership for low income households.
Emergency assistance for mortgage foreclosure prevention and utility payments was
mentioned several times at the public hearings. HACAP operates two programs provid-
ing limited assistance with utility payments for income qualifying individuals. The
Salvation Army provides assistance with water payments up to $50.00 for a small
handful of individuals/families. The State of Iowa operates a fund that allocates
$500.00 a year to income eligible families with children to keep them in their homes.
The Northwest Area Foundation, based in Minnesota, operates a mortgage foreclosure
program. This piegram can provide several months worth of mortgage payments for
low-inceme homeowners and assists them with getting back on track fmancially. In
addition there are small, private groups providing emergency assistance. Access to
these programs is limited due to funding availability.
Iowa City has the most expensive housing in the state of Iowa, with a median price of
$106,500 per stick built, single-family unit. As a result, households have turned to
other housing options. For instance, the number of manufactured homes being located
in Iowa City and Johnson County has greatly increased from 1980 to 1990 (43% and
50% respectively). There are currently an estimated 1300 manufactured housing units
in Iowa City or 5.8% of all housing units, compared to 6.0% state-wide and 9.2%
nationally. Modem Manor manufactured housing park, located just outside the City
limits, has been expanding at a rate of nearly 30 - 40 lots per year and has filled those
lots as fast as they have come on line. Also, within Johnson County there have been
several expansions ofmanufactared housing parks and the vacancy rate is still extreme-
ly low.
Due to the "hot" housing market in Iowa City, developers have concentrated on buildIng
homes in the $125,000 to $300,000 price range. This type of home maximizes the
builder's return on investment. During the last two years there have been over 425
single-family homes built in Iowa City alone. However, at an estimated average sales
price of over $150,000, very few of these homes are affordable to households with
incomes under 80 percent of median.

including manufactured housing.
HIGH for rehabilitation and accessibility improvements for homeowners beloxv

MEDIUM for homeowners over 50% median Income.
Strategy: Maintain existing stock of affordable housing
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
According to the 1990 Census, Iowa City's owner-occupied housing stock consists of
9,823 units, of this number 59.9 percent or 5,882 units were constructed before 1970.
Of these owner-occupied units, approximately 2,337 are owned by low-income resi-
dents. These horaceWhere are eligible for the City's extensive housing rehabilitation
program (including accessibility) that has been in operation since the late-1970's.
Maintenance, rehabilitation, and accessibility effo~ undertaken by the City's Housing
Rehabilitation program have greatly improved the quality of life for hundreds of low-
income households while maintaining the affordable housing stock. The following is
a brief summary of the number of owner households assisted by the City's Housing
Rehabilitation Program over the last four years (1990 - 45 households, 1991 - 44 house-
holds, 1992 - 26 households, and 1993 - 32 households plus 81 flood rehabs, not
including manufactured housing). In addition, the City has 13-14 comprehensive
rehabilitation projects underway that were funded through the HOME program. The
Housing Rehabilitation Program continues to have a waiting list for assistance even
though the CDBO rehabilitation program has not advertised for more than 2 years. The
program also provides emergency repairs to many mobile home owners. While a
county wide rehab program does not exist, the City receives numerous requests for
rehab services outside the city limits.
Another rehabilitation program operated by Elderly Services Agency (ESA) completes
approximately 60 small repair projects each year and continues to have a waiting list.
This Small Repair program is important for maintaining elderly persons in their homes.
Accessibility improvements are a very important aspect of ESA's program. Small
modifications to older homes enable elderly persons to continue to live in their own
home. The program needs to be expanded throughout the county to assist elderly, and
low-income rural residents.
These two rehabilitation programs are essential in order to assist low-income households
maintain a decent, safe living environment. Without the rehabilitation programs the
City could lose a significant number of housing units now occupied by lower income
households and the homeowners could lose their homes.
The 1990 Census data shows that Iowa City has approximately 15,550 housing units
constructed pre-1976, before many energy efficiency measures and codes went into
effect. There are several agencies that provide energy efficiency modification assis-
tance, they are the Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP), Elderly
Services Agency (ESA), the City Housing Rehabilitation Program, and Iowa-Illinois
Gas & Electric Company. These agencies provide assistance with insulation, weather-
stripping, furnaces, window replacement, and rebates for enerev eftdent measures.
For homeowners, lead based paint dangers occur most frequently when the homeowners
themselves do rehabilitation projects. Sanding old woodwork, windows, and doors
present the greatest danger since lead paint dust can remain in the air for three years.
Children are then endangered by breathing the lead particles and ingesting any lead dust
that may have settled on food. Educating the public on the dangers of lead based paint
and preventative measures is the most important step towards mitigating the problem.
Testing children for lead poisoning is done at the local hospitals or by the Johnson
County Department of Health. Abatement of lead paint is the preferred solution.
Abatement can take a variety of forms including scrubbing and cleaning, repainting, and
removal.

Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
According to a 1994 study conducted by the Ecumenical Housing Corporation and the
Elderly Services Agency, there was a substantial interest in congregate housing. The
median income of those who responded positively to congregate housing was $18,300.
This indicates a need for rent subsidies of some type for those low income residents.
The most preferred types of congregate housing were mini-complexes and retirement
residences. The study estimates 1176 individuals age 60 and over would be interested
in congregate housing.

II. HOMELESS NEEDS
A. Outreach/Assessment
Strategy: Advocate Human Services Coordination
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
As in many smaller communities across the nation, referrals to shelters and other
services come from many different sources. The Crisis Center (an emergency services
agency), the emergency shelters, the Salvation Army, local chumhes, and the Depart-
ment of Human Services all serve as referral resources for those seeking assistance.
Once initial centact is made at any of these and other agencies, consumers are directed
to appropriate service providers throughout the community. The mmsportation expense
and inconvenience of piecing together needed services, the difficulties in securing child
care in order to meet with different providers at different times and locations, and the
repetitive paperwork requirements for receiving service can be a frustrating, chaotic, and
overwhelming experience for an individual whose life is already in crisis.
Objectives:
Investigate the location of an easily accessible referral center.
Pursue a single application for service system entry.
Support continued funding of Johnson County Council of Governments
(JCCOG) Human Services Coordinator.
Strategy: Increase understanding of issues surrounding rural homelessness
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
The City of Iowa City, and the surrounding communities have never studied the muses
and conditions of rural homelesshess in Johnson County. Anecdotal evidence from
service providers suggests a significant problem with "doubling-up" of several families
in inadequate housing. Another suspected problem is the condition of the most-afford-
able rural housing stock. Dilapidated, poorly consmeted homes may be affordable in
the summer, but lett unmaintained, the expense of heating such a home in the winter
drives the cost beyond affordable levels. Accessing services and support is also more
difficult for those living in rural areas as public transportation is not available and travel
time can be significant, especially when repeat visits to providers are needed. (se~

B. Emergency Shelters
Strategy: Emergency Shelter Rehab/Expansion
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
An estimated 1,100 individuals were served by Iowa City's emergency shelter system
during FY94. Nearly 200 of these individuals were children. Of those childreu, 47
%00
Objectives:
were with a parent at the Emergency Housing Project (EI-IP) shelter, which is not
specifically equipped to deal with the needs of children in crisis. While data has not
been collected previously to support a trend in families who are homeless, the data
collected for CITY STEPS affirm the claims of providers that there are a large number
of families and children arriving at the emergency shelters each year. Records kept by
the EHP from October 17, to November 17, 1994 indicate that as many as seven
families are turned away from their shelter each week due to lack of space. Additional-
ly, staff limitations at the Domestic Violence Intervention Program (I)VIP) lirait servic-
es to 30 women and children at any time although the facility capacity is 60.
During FY94 EHP reported that 84% of its 844 clients were single; of this number, 606
were single men.
The Emergency Housing Project's facility is showing the strains of double-capacity use.
Converted for shelter use in 1984, the early-twentieth-century home has had only
essential renovations since then, including fire, code compliance repairs, kitchen facilities
upgrades, and office space improvements. Renovation of bathroom facilities is a major
concern for ensuring on-going functioning of this shelter.
Recent building and renovation projects have greatly improved conditions and capacity
at two of Iowa City's emergency shelters. DVIP and Youth Homes are providing
services and shelter in virtually new facilities. Private and modem rooms house clients,
bathroom facilities adequately meet demand, modem kitchens, laundry rooms, and
common space with new or lightly used furniture provide dean and decent environ-
ments for consumers. Offiea space for stuff is an on-going concern at both shelters;
at Youth Homes this need is further compounded by limited storage space for both
clients and staff.
Improve existing shelter facilities.
Consider expansion or addition of facilities to meet increased demand
Expand staff and capabilities within existing system to provide improved
service.
Support on-going maintenance of existing shelters.
Strategy: Support plans for improving day shelter opportunities
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
An on-going issue within the community revolves around day shelter for the homeless.
The Salvation Army currently operates a facility that provides an evening meal and day
shelter. While the meal attracts many to the Salvation Army, the day shelter is signifi-
cantly below capacity use. However, a recent study indicates a consumer interest in the
day shelter concept. Questions have been raised as to whether location and limited
services are the primary deterrents in daytime use of the Salvation Army facility.
Objectives.'
Investigate easily accessible day shelter location possibilities.
Expand available services such as: social/case worker availability;
laundry facility; child care opportunities; impraved public and private
transportation access; showers.
P~o~ty:
HIGH for families.
MEDIUM for individuals and persons with special needs.

q-00
C. Transitional Shelter
Strategy: Improve transitional housing programs for families
Transitional housing serves as a bridge between emergency shelter and permanent
housing by providing housing with supportive services to assist households towards self-
sufficiency.
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
Iowa City has very limited transitional housing opportunities for families. HACAP
provides 8 units of supported rental housing; waiting lists for this housing can be as
large as 65 families, with a wait of more than two years.
CITY STEPS meetings also suggested a need for on-going support to assist people in
moving beyond struetared, transitional housing and into self-suffieianey. Service
providers believe that ot~en times the 24 months of traditional "transitional housing" is
not enough to ensure a family or individual's success.
Objectives:
Develop scattered-site, transitional housing programs requiring partici-
pation in supportive services.
~4ssist existing providers of transitional housing to increase capacity.
Strategy: Provide transitional housing for single individuals
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
As indicated in HUD Table 1, 40% of the homeless adults counted on October 20, 1994
were single (EHP reported during FY94 that 84% of its clients were single, 72% or 606
being single men). Data collected during the count also suggests that 93% of the adult
respondents hoped to remain in Iowa City, therefore as many as 657 single individuals
could be seeking permanent housing in our community this year alone. Shelter records
show that many of these individuals do succeed in finding some type of housing, but
many return to the shelter after eviction, domestic dispute, or pemonal crisis. Ot~n,
developed support systems could have prevented the return.
Youth Homes, Inc. currently operates three transitional housing programs for unaccom-
panied youth, two are group residences, and one is a transitional group home for single
teen mothers and their children. These facilities provide a stable and supportive envi-
ronment to assist youth in crisis in remaining in school and managing the difficulties
in their lives. The three facilities serve an estimated 32 youth and their children each
year.
Objectives:
Develop Single Room Occupancy (~RO) housing for singles with access
to support services.
Continue support of transitional housing for unaccompanied youth
12
Strategy: Provide special needs transitional housing
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
The general trend in providing care and services to persons with special needs is
towards non-facility based, out-patient, independent living services. Housing for
persons with mental illness, who are leaving the hospital or extensive care settings, is
an important part of the continuum of care that leads to successful independent living
programs. This particularly vulnerable population does not usually manage well inde-
pendently, or in shelters where failure and repeat hospitalization can become cyclical.
Hillcrest Residence currently provides a 14-unit transitional group home that accommo-
dates adults with serious mental illness. Emphasis is placed on skill building and
environmental resource development to prepare individuals for independent living. The
University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics esthnate that as many as 30 additional individ-
uals could receive housing and support in a transitional setting in Johnson county at any
given time. The need for special needs transitional housing is also shared by persons
struggling with substance abuse.
Objectives.' a.
b.
Provide transitional housing for persons with mental illness.
Provide services to support special needs populations in non-facility
based care environments.
Priority: HIGH for families, individuals, and persons with special needs.
D. Permanent Supportive Housing for Persons with Special Needs
Strategy: Develop quality housing options for persons with special needs
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
As providers of services to this population prepare for the eventuality of managed health
care, the need to provide services in independent, supported-living environments will
continue to increase. The Johnson County Mental Health Task Force, a research and
advocacy group consisting of service providers and consumers, ¢i~,s the unavailability
of housing for the disabled segment of the population as a great problem within the
community. Persons with physical disabilities also face the barrier of a limited supply
of accessible housing. Affordability of housing is also critical to this population
because many are unable to eara a living wage due to the limitations of their illness.
However, it is unrealistic to expect that every consumer with special needs will be best
served in an independent living environment. There are some consumers who will
continue to need 24-hour supervision and support. While the size of group living
facilities to serve this population segment is shrinking, the need for the facilities is not.
Housing fewer individuals per facility increases the number of facilities needed.
It is important to reiterate that supplying housing alone is not enough. Support services
must be available when they are needed to serve these populations effectively. Waiting
lists and lapses in care set up opportunities for failure for these vulnerable consumers.
Objectives:
Provide rehab assistance and accessibility adaptations to asstst support-
ire housing providers in acquiring housing and maintaining existing
stock

F. Homeless Prevention
Strategy: Assist low-income households in maintaining and retaining their existing housing
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
Iowa City's Crisis Center defines the imminently homeless as those who are, "one situa-
tion away from homelesshess"; this definition is based on the realization that 94% of
the clients to whom they supply economic assistanc~ report incomes at or below the
poverty level. In FY94 the Crisis Center served 2,200 households who could be defined
as imminently homeless. While programs do exist to provide food and other cam to
those in crisis, relatively few programs exist that provide financial assistance to maintain
a family/individual in their current residence. Yet, the short-tom cost of such assis-
tance is much lower than the long term expense to taxpayers of supporting people in
emergency facilities. HACAP operates two programs providing limited assistance with
utility payments for income qualifying individuals. The Salvation Army provides assis-
tance with water payments up to $50.00 for a small handful of individuals/families. The
State of Iowa operates a fund that allocates $500.00 a year to income eligible families
with children to keep them in their homes. In addition there are small, private groups
providing emergency assistance. Access to these programs is extremely limited and
often for one-time only.
Many low-income persons find it difficult to make monthly rent and mortgage payments
and pay the necessm3t expenses of raaintaining or rehabilitating their homes. Assistance
in maintaining these homes guarantees their long-term inclusion in the stock of afford-
able housing.
ORen times persons faced with trouble just need someone to talk with to prevent a
problem from becoming a crisis. Representatives of the Emergency Housing Project
(EHP) have suggested that a "buddy system" mentor program could prevent some
individuals from escalating their problems to a level that would require emergency
services and shelter.
14
q-00
Anecdotal evidence from both EHP and DVIP suggests that as many as 40% of the
clients they serve have some form of diminished mental capacity, substance abuse or
other health concerns that contributed to their homelesshess. Improved access to health
and mental health care could mitigate the difficulties faced by these individuals in
maintaining and retaining housing.
Objectives: a.

Improve access to health/mental health care.
Priority: HIGH for all objectives.

III.
NEED FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
A. Public Facility Needs
Strategy: Provision of Dependent Care Facilities
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
According to Elderly Services Agency (ESA), a dependent care facility is needed that
could include senior day care, senior respite care, and possibly child care. The Johnson
County Department of Public Health Adult Day Program (ADP) has been in operation
since August of 1979 and is the only program in Johnson County that offers short term
respite care for high functioning frail elderly without medical needs during the day.
ADP is located on the first floor of the Johnson County/Iowa City Senior Center.
Recent state regulations require more program space per participant. Though a tem-
porary solution was to move offices out of the room and increase the client area, this
still did not create enough room to handle the current needs let alone future needs. The
renovation increased the usable space, but they had to put a cap on the number of
participants and also a cap on new clients until a permanent solution is attained.
Child care issues have repeatedly arisen at CITY STEPS meetings and through dis-
cussions with staff members of the 4Cs (Community Coordinated Child Care) program
in Iowa City. In the past year, the 4Cs Resource and Referral Program conducted 1,898
parent intakes, listed 276 individual child care providera, distributed 9,000 directories
of child care services with 60 child care center and preschool entries, and provided
consumer education as requested. According to 4Cs statistics, documented child care
needs in the Johnson County area have increased dramatically. The unmet needs are
strongly focused on infant care, beforedafier school care, and care for children whose
parents work second shill(s) and weekends.
Objective: Support development of respite care, child care and adult day care facilities.
Priority: MEDIUM
Strategy: Provision of Youth Center
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
Youth Homes, Inc. and United Action for Youth (UAY) have recently acquired facilities
for their own use. The Mayor's Youth Employment Program (MYEP) also shares the
UAY facility. The Youth services providers feel that there may be a need for a
youth recreational center, organized and run by youths, in the future.
Youth Homes' PAL (Pursuing Adventures in Learning) program is an after school and
day treatment program for preadolescents and middle school children (ages 6- 15)who
have behavior disorders. PAL currently uses space in St. Patrick's Church Parish Hall
which may not be available in the future, meaning that another site will need to be
purchased or leased.
The PAL program's FY 95-96 Obj~tive, s state that they would like to provide summer
day treatment services to at least 25 children with behavior disorders and school year
day treatment services to at least 15 children with behavior disorders. To meat these
goals they need one full-time day treatment coordinator, 5.4 FTE Youth Counselors and

Objective:
Priority: LOW
Youth Counselor Associates, office space, dayroom space, and two vans, in addition to
a permanent site.
The ARC of Johnson County is working to improve summer/before/after school care
options for adolescents over the age of 12 with developmental disabilities. Historically
this need had been met by Handicare, but that agency has determined they can no
longer provide quality services for children over age 12.
Investigate need for additional space for youth programs.
Continue support of before/after school facilities for all youth including
those with developmental disabilities.
Strategy: Provision of Neighborhood Facilities
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County operates neighborhood centers within the
Broadway and Pheasant Ridge neighborhoods. They are currently designing and soon
will be building a new 8,000 s.f. neighborhood center in the Pheasant Ridge Apartment
Complex. The center will offer child care, a large drop-in area, general meeting areas,
counseling areas, 5 staff offices, and 2 small kitchens. Pheasant Ridge consists of 248
apartments, with 231 subsidized through the Federal Section 8 program for very low-
income families. It is a multi-cultural neighborhood with 42% of the families belonging
to an ethnic minority and 22% foreign-born. About 200 youth reside in the complex,
of whom approximately 60% are from single-parent families.
A door-to-door survey conducted at Pheasant Ridge in the summer of 1993 indicated
a dire need for child care. Many residents reported that a lack of affordable child care
prohibited them from pursuing an education or obtaining employment. The new facility
will provide accessible and affordable child care for the neighborhood residents.
The Longfellow Neighborhood Association is currently assessing the need for a
neighborhood center in the Longfellow neighborhood. They currently hold meetings
and functions in churches, private homes, and at Longfellow School.
Objectives: a.
b.
Explore the need; plan and construct neighborhood facilities.
Expand neighborhood child care facilities.
Priority: MEDIUM
Strategy: Provision of additional Parks and Recreational Facilities
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
According to the City of Iowa City Neighborhood Services Coordinator, the Mill-
edOmhard Neighborhood is most in need of a park to provide residents a place to take
their children, congregate, and simply enjoy the open space. According to the Iowa
City Comprehensive Plan, Miller/Orchard is the only developed district without an
easily accessible park. The Neighborhood Open Space Plan Amendment shows that the
17
Objective:
Priority:
neighborhood had 1,092 residents in 1990 with a projected build-out population of
2,451. The Plan states that a neighborhood needs 3 acres per 1,000 persons, which
means a deficit of 7.35 acres of open space.
Develop park/open space in low-income neighborhoods as needed.
LOW
Strategy: Provision of Health Facilities
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
While the number of patients and services offered at the Free Medical Clinic is grow-
ing, the existing facilities are adequate at this time. However, it is anticipated that over
the next five year~ the demand will exceed the current spava. One limitation of the
facility is that it is not handicapped accessible.
A dental clinic will be operating once a week out of the Free Medical Clinic beginning
in January 1995. This new service will pla~ an increased burden on the facility and
could cause a potential lack of space.
Objective: Support expansion needs of existing medical/dental facilities.
Priority: LOW
B. Public Service Needs
Strategy: Provision of Health Services: medical, dental, nutrition, preventive care
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
According to staff at the Free Medical Clinic and from public meeting comments, the
number one need is to assist patients in acquiring and purchasing prescription medica-
tion. The Free Medical Clinic's budget is unable to cover the costs of medication and
they rely solely on contributions by drag companies. Free Medical Clinic staff is also
seeing more persons with chronic illnesses resulting in an increased need for medication
for persons with psychiatric disabilities, diabetes, and hypertension, conditions which
are made worse by being homeless and unemployed. Consumers also noted the need
for assistance in acquiring prescription eyeglasses and hearing aids.
According to a recent survey conducted by the Iowa Center for AIDS Resources and
Education (ICARE), there is an immediate need for a serviea network to help
HIV+/AIDS individuals stay in their current living situations and to enable them to live
wherever they choose. The service network would include provisions for assistance
with acquiring and purchasing prescription medication. This prescription assistance
would then help to reduce the financial burden and leave more funds for housing costs.
Nutrition needs are addressed by various groups and agencies. The Crisis Center Food
Bank requests increased 30% from 11,960 in 1993 to 15,498 in 1994. The Free Lunch
program has had a steady, but manageable increase in lunches served over the past few
years. The Salvation Army serves meals and has also reported steady increases, particu-
larly in 1993 due to the flood.

Objectives:
Priorli~: HIGH
Continue support of assisted health, dental, and H1VIAIDS services.
Support assistance for prescription medication payments.
Support food and nutrition services for low-income residents.
Encourage participation of additional health care service providers.
Strategy: Provision of Dependent Care Services
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
Child care issues have repeatedly arisen at CITY STEPS meetings and through discus-
sions with staff members of the 4C's (Community Coordinated Child Care) program in
Iowa City. 4C's primary purpose is to promote the well-being of children and their
families by assisting parents, child care providers, employers, and others with their child
related needs. This encompasses addressing challenges to the eommunity's child care
system, documenting needs and trends in the child care delivery system, and serving as
a resource for planning and developing programs.
In the past year, the 4C's Resource and Referral Program conducted 1,898 parent
intakes, listed 276 individual child care providers, and distributed 9,000 directories of
child care services with 60 child care center and preschool entries, and provided con-
sumer education as requested. According to 4C's statistics, documented child care
needs in the Johnson County area have increased dramatically. The unmet needs are
strongly focused on infant care, before/after school care, and care for children whose
parents work second shifts and weekends, and child care for homeless families.
The Elderly Services Agency (ESA) reports that respite care for the elderly is a "critical
unmet need" in Iowa City. According to ESA, respite care is available at Mercy Home
Healthcare, Homelife, and Hawkeye Medical Services at an average cost of $10.00 an
hour which is beyond the means of 75% of those who need it. ESA receives an
average of two inquiries a day about respite care for the elderly, but they can only
provide a total of 1:2 to 14 hours a day olin-home respite care. In FY94 ESA provided
12,326 hours of in-home respite care.
The ARC of Johnson County provides similar respite care services for persons with
mental retardation and developmental disabilities and their families. The ARC reports
serving 3,641 individuals in all of its programs during 1993. An expanded need for
respite services is anticipated.
The ARC also is working to improve summerg0efore/~er school care options for
adolescents over the age of 12 with developmental disabilities. Historically this need
had been met by Handicare, but that agency has determined they can no longer provide
quality services for children over age 12.
Objectives:
Support and expand child care resources arm referral services, and
opportunities including emergency and round the clock care.
Explore, support and expand services that provide adult daycare and
respite care for the elderly and for persons and families with special
needs.
PriorJOri: HIGH
19
Strategy: Improve access to Transportation
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
The one consistent theme at every CITY STEPS public meeting and in discussions
tween staff and residents was transportation. Transportation to jobs, day care, medical
services, school, and shelter was noted as the most urgent need. The current bus system
focuses on the downtown area, with nearly every route beginning or ending downtown.
The first bus route that will not go downtown is scheduled to begin service in early
1995.
The bus system also has limited evening hours, extremely limited Saturday service and
no Sunday service. The ongoing development of businesses and residential areas
locating on the fringes of Iowa City and neighboring towns only emphasizes the need
to review the existing system.
The SEATS program which provides Iraasportation services to citizens who are elderly
and/or disabled is currently undergoing a complete funding review. This service is vital
to the day-to-day lives of persons who are elderly and disabled in Johnson County and
Iowa City
Additionally, the fre~ bus ticket program continues to be an important link between low-
income residents and jobs, services, and housing.
Objectives:
Review Bus Transit system (e.g. possible expansion of service hours, im-
proved route structure to reach new and existing employment and ser-
vice centers, etc.).
Provide ongoing support to special needs population for regional trans-
portation systems.
Study regional commuting options including expansion of van and car
pools, muss transit, and other alternative transportation modes.
Continue provision of fi'ee bus tickets.

Strategy: Provision_ of Legal Aid
Needs Assessment and Current Progranm:
Legal aid for low-income persons was discussed at CITY STEPS meetings as an hnpor-
rant need for issues such as tenant/landlord disputes, protection of basic rights, and
particularly for unique issues of elderly persons.
Maintain support for services that provide for the legal needs of low-income persons.
LOW
20 -oo
Strategy: Provision of training in Living Skills
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
Basic coping and day-to-day living skills were mentioned as needs at every CITY
STEPS public meeting and discussion. Support for creating and expanding living skills
training programs was cited by several agencies.
An agency that currently addresses a variety of needs is LIFE Skills, Inc. which is a
private non-profit organization devoted to providing education and assistance to chil-
dren, adults, families, and persons with special needs. LIFE Skills operates a Housing
Support Program that works with families at risk of losing their housing due to a lack
of home maintenance, home safety skills, budgeting, communication skills, and coping
skills. Assistance is provided to help these families gain a sense of responsibility and
accountability to themselves, their neighbors and their landlords. The Housing Support
Program assisted 31 households in 1992 and 39 households in 1993, an increase of
nearly 30%. Current funding provides for only one, half-time position to provide these
housing support services. If additional staff funding was available it is anticipated that
this program or others could be significantly expanded to assist more families and
provide more services.
The Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (I-IACAP) also provides living skills
support services in its transitional housing program.
The general trend in providing care and services to persons with special needs is
towards non-facility-based, out-patient, independent living services. This trend reflects
a move toward incorporating the changes mandated by managed health care systems.
Virtually every aspect of service to special needs populations is affected, including
services for persons with mental illness, mental retardation, physical disability, and drug
and alcohol addiction. Programs providing these services need to be enhanced to meet
current and anticipated future demands.
Objective:
Create and/or expand services that offer day-to-day living and coping skills, including,
but not limited to: locating and acquiring housing, budgeting, general housekeeping,
home maintenance, home safety, communication skills, and independent living skills.
Priority: HIGH
Strategy: Provision of Crime Awareness and Prevention Program
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
The Iowa City Police Department efficiently operates the D.A.R.E. program along with
police sponsored youth recreation programs to help keep youth aware of crime issues.
Neighborhood Watch and Block Parent programs also operate. A drag prevention grant
funded by HUD in FY94 increased drug prevention coordination between the PHA and
neighborhood centers.
Other programs provided through 1VIECCA, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Iowa
City Coramunity Schools and Neighborhood Centers of Johnnon County, also deal
with crime awareness and prevention.
21
Objective:
Support the Police Department in its efforts to promote crime awareness and prevention
through programs such as DARE, drug abuse prevention, police-sponsored recreation,
and other community-based programs.
Priority: LOW
Strategy: Provision of Youth Services
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
Youth Homes, United Action for Youth, and Mayor's Youth Employment have all seen
consistent increases in their service needs and anticipate further increases over the next
five years.
United Action for Youth (UAY) assists youth and families by offering counseling and
intervention programs, and providing prevention and youth development programs that
make use of young people's talent and skills. UAY assisted 2,830 Johnson County
residents between July 1993 and June 1994. There is a waiting list for persons wanting
family counseling.
Mayor's Youth Employment Program (MYEP) operates three programs, the Youth Em-
ployment, Entrepreneurial and the Corps programs. They assisted 168 Johnson County
youth between July 1993 and June 1994. MYEP maintains a waiting list of over 100
youth.
Youth Homes operates the Youth Emergency Shelter, Pursuing Adventures in Learning
(PAL), Young Women's Residential Treatment Center, Parent Support Services, and
Structured Community Independent Living Services. Youth Homes served 225 Johnson
County residents between July 1993 and June 1994.
Before and after school programs are currently provided at the elementary level.
There appears to be a need for after school programs at the Junior High School
level.
Objectives:
Continue to support existing youth programs.
Respond to needs to expand programs such as after school care and
assislance.
Priority: MEDIUM
Strategy: Provision of TenantLandlord Education or Mediation
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
The need for improved communication and education between tenants and landlords
was cited at several CITY STEPS meetings. Uncertainty about regulations, fear of
eviction and feelings of disenfranchisement serve to decrease the quality of life for low-
income tenants. Confusion regarding regulations and program requirements discourage
landlords from willingly participating.
Objective: Provide a forum for communication and education between tenants and landlords.
22
Priori~: HIGH
Strategy: Continue Fair Housing Activities
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
The Human Rights Coordinator .and the Human Rights Commission have an ongoing
program which provides both counseling and complaint investigation, and, through
outreach and education of landlords and tenants, furthers fair housing. A constant
stream of complaints is evidence of the need for these activities. Complaints include
intimidation by landlords, discrimination because of an address known to be public or
assisted housing, and eviction without came.
Objectives: a.
Stop discrimination by address by encouraging scattered site subsidized
housing, educating the community regarding subsidized housing and
other assistance programs.
Pursue legal action against intimidation of tenants.
Review current policies regarding manufactured housing eviction arbi-
tration.
Priority: HIGH
Strategy: Provision of Senior Services
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
ESA provides a shared housing program which is a matching service between elderly
home owners with a room to rent and tenants (most ficquently graduate students)
needing rooms. Currently there are 20 matches in the program. Elderly participants
cite the security of having someone in the house at night, the convenience of an in-
home person they can count on for errands and household help, and the extra income
from the rent, as benefits to the program. ESA staff feels this program is comfortably
meeting the market demand for such a service there are usually 18-25 matches at any
given time. (SEE ALSO Transportation Needs and Legal Aid.)
Objectives.'
Priority: HIGH
Continue support of in-home programs for the elderly.
Explore, support and expand day care and respite care (see also De-
pendent Care) services.
Continue support of services for the elderly, including paratransit, legal
assistance, and shared housing programs.
Strategy: Continuation of Human Services coordination
Needs Assessman~ and Current Programs:
While existing methods of referral and assessment appear to be doing an adequate job
of directing individuals in need to soarcos of service, there is increasing concern within
the homeless and service provider communities that current mathods, while cooperative,
are not coordinated. The result is that persons in crisis am frequently sent back and
forth from one agency to another, often across town, to secure support.
23
Objectives:
Priority:
One solution, suggested more than once in CITY STEPS public meetings, was to
develop a single, centrally-located facility for coordinating referrals. Such a facility
may provide satellite office space for agencies to conduct initial assessment and intake
interviews, telephones for clients to use for centacting unrepresunted agencies, a call-in
hotline for people in need, and a well stocked pamphlet display for service information.
Another opportunity for coordination may exist in accessing existing computer networks
for linking agencies and sharing information.
At the administrative level, coordination of human services is provided by the Human
Services Coordinator for the Johnson County Council of Govarnmunts. This office
provides budgetary, statistical, and programmatic analyses to Iowa City's City Council,
as well as the Johnson County Board of Supervisors in order to aid in making sound
decisions regarding funding and policy matters for human services. The Coordinator
also assists in the planning and coordination of local human resources at all levels of
the service system. As state and federal aid to human service agencies decreases, the
need for more local planning and coordination becomes imperative.
Develop easily accessible referral center.
Pursue single application service system entry.
Support continued funding of JCCOG Human Service Coordinator.

IV. NEED FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Strategy: Provide Employment Training and Education
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
Currently, the emphasis in HUD programs is to help families move toward self-suffi-
ciency. Suitable education and training for jobs is part of this process. Further research
is needed to determine what skills local employers are looking for and what on the job
training and apprenticeship programs are available and needed.
Currently, Mayor's Youth Employment Program provides three job skill programs for
youth training and education. They assisted 168 Johnson County youth last year.
The Family Investment Program (FIP) (formerly Aid to Families with Dependent
Children) works with Promise Jobs (under JTPA) to provide job mining.
Independent Living, Inc. offers comprehensive training in job seeking, advocacy, and
personal assistance to persons with disabilities. They have experienced a large increase
in clients in the last year.
Kirkwood Community College provides Graduate F. quivalency Diploma (G.E.D.)
preparation, basic skills training, English as a Second Language (ESL), and Adult
Literacy programs to approximately 1,000 individuals each year. Participants in Prom-
ise Jobs and programs are mandated to participate in a high school degree program.
Objectives:
Continue and expand apprenticeship and employment training
programs.
Investigate how to best coordinate job training programs.
Support education opporttmities including basic skill development (e.g.
GED progrants, Adult literacy programs, gocational programs).
Research work force and local employment opportunities to determine
existing and needed skills.
Priority: HIGH
S~tegy:
Encourage employment opportunities that pay at least a living wage *(including
opportunities for persons with disabilities)
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
A major problem identified at public meetings is the increasing number of temporary
jobs in the area. According to a survey of local tempora~ hiring agencies, it is
estimated that them are 3,500 temporary jobs in Iowa City. About 35% of the temporary
employees are hired for indefinite periods. Some of these work on a temporary basis
for long periods of time. One example used at a public meeting was a person working
at a local business on a temporary basis since 1985. Temporary living agencies esti-
mate that 26% of Iowa City employers use temporary employees to fill formerly
permanent positions. The peak seasonal periods for temporary employment are Novem-
ber through January and the month of September. Such temporary jobs provide no
benefits, are oRen at minimum wage or slightly above, and do not provide a "living"
wage in Iowa City. It should be noted, however, that temporary jobs are often appropri-

ate in a community where the labor market includes a sizable population seeking such
employment, e.g. students.
Much more information is needed to determine how and what type of job opportunities
need to be created.
Determine and publicize industry standards for hiring, wages
and benefits within the community.
Publicly recognize employers who creatively address employ-
ment concerns.
Research local employment trends.
Explore and implement mechanisms for increasingfull-time per-
manent jobs with benefits.
Strategy: Provide Employment Support Services
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
Employment support services such as child care and transportation were addressed at
public meetings as important needs. Studies are needed to determine ways of meeting
these needs in the Iowa City area.
Independent Living, Inc. offers prognuns for persons with disabilities that provide inde-
pendent living skills, career development, comprehensive training in job seeking,
advocacy, and personal assistance. They assisted 309 Johnson County residents be-
tween July 1993 and June 1994, nearly three times the amount from the previous year.
Goodwill Industries of Southeast Iowa's Threshold program provides opportunities for
successful living for persons with disabilities by providing community based training
and employment services. These services include job seeking training, peer support, job
placement, and job coaching.
The Institute for Social and Economic Development (ISED) is in its first year of
operating a microenterprise development program in Iowa City. They offer classes to
teach business skills to develop and start up small businesses, mostly retail. Discussions
with ISED staff and its clients have pointed to a need for a business incubator in Iowa
City. They would like to see both a retail and light industrial business incubator that
would offer reduced rents and shared office facilities to small business owners.
Objectives.'
Investigate methods of providing and provide improved transportation
and child care services for employees.
Facilitate supportive employment services for persons with special
needs (e.g. job coach, ADA compliance).
Continue to support agencies that provide microenterprise/entre-
preneurial development.
Priority: HIGH
26
Strategy:
Encourage the expansion and retention of business and industry that pays at least
a living wage*
Needs Assessment and Current Programs:
The existing industrial park in southeast Iowa City is nearly at capacity and the City is
looking at expansion possibilities nearby. One way to encourage businesses to locate
in Iowa City and employ low- and moderate-income employees is to subsidiz~ the
development of infxastmcture to the site.
There currently is not a program to encourage commercial or industrial rehabilitation,
but with the ever increasing commercial and industrial development on the fringes of
Iowa City and in surrounding communities, the older centrally located structures may
be threatened. If this development occurs a program should be developed to encourage
rehabilitation of those structures to maintain economic viabili .ty and adaptability.
Technical assistance for economic development needs in iowa City is provided by the
City of Iowa City's Economic Development Coordinator, the Iowa City Chamber of
Commerce, and the Iowa City Area Development Group.
Objectives:
Further the expansion of business and industry by:
Zoning additional land for industrial/business parks;
Facilitating infrastructure improvements to businesses wanting to ex-
pand and paying at least a living wage;
Investigating feasibility of a business incubator;
Reviewing current zoning policies to better serve business needs.
Maintain existing business and industry by:
Reviewing the need for commercial or industrial rehabilitation;
Continuing to support agencies that provide economic development
technical assistance.
Priority: HIGH
A living wage of $17,000-$20,000 for a family of three is a rough estimate based on HUD
Fair Market Renls and the assumption that no more than 30% of gross income is spent
on housing costs.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
FOIl THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN (CITY STEPS)
FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
In working with communities across the country, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has realized the importance of coordinating housing programs with services
and economic development, to help cities create and maintain a livable environment particularly
for their low income residents. The Consolidated Plan is the planning document that outlines the
partnerships between housing providers, human service agencies, neighborhoods and the
business community for addressing specific community needs.
The Consolidated Plan will document housing and community development needs, and identify
strategies to meet those needs in Iowa City. The process encourages many citizens to participate
especially the low-and very low-income residents who benefit directly from the funding decisions.
This Citizen Participation Plan encourages citizens to participate in the consolidated planning
process from the outset. It outlines the procedures for community approval of the Consolidated
Plan; for addressing concerns, objections and complaints, and for making amendments to the
plan after approval. This plan meets HUD's basic requirements for citizen participation in prepar-
ing a Consolidated Plan.
Initially three existing citizen commissions will play an integral role in the citizen participation
process --the Housing Commission, the Committee on Community Needs (CCN), and the Local
Homeless Coordinating Board. These commissions will hold public hearings, collect comments,
and previde forums for annual review of the plan. Each commission will also assign two of its
members to serve on the prioritizing committee for ranking community needs for the strategic and
annual planning elements of the Consolidated Plan. Two members of the business community
shall also serve on this Committee. The commissions will also make recommendations regarding
funding allocations.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION ACTIVITIES
1)
Citizens will be made aware of and encouraged to participate in the annual activities
related to the development of the Consolidated Plan, any amendments and the perfor-
mance report, through neighborhood and City newsletters, the media, and the human
service agencies as appropriate.
2)
3)
4)
Information concerning the plan will be provided to citizens, public agencies, and other
interested parties through the media, general public meetings, and neighborhood meet-
ings.
Before the consolidated plan is adopted information will be made available, through the
above described channels, on the amount of assistance the jurisdiction expects to receive
and the range of eligible activities that may be undertaken.
In circumstances where funding opportunities are appropriate for specific neighborhoods,
neighborhood meetings will be held to provide specific information about the plan as
appropriate. These meetings will be held at convenient locations and times to allow broad
participation of all residents who might be affected. The meetings will be designed to
allows citizens to give input into the development, implementation and assessment of the
consolidated plan. Particular effort will be made to involve very low- and low-income
persons, members of minority groups, and persons with mobility, visual, and hearing
impairments in this process.
2
Non-English speaking persons or persons with hearing impairments can be provided an
Interpreter at public hearings/meetings, if a request is made at least seven days prior to
the scheduled meeting date.
5)
Technical assistance will be provided by the Community Development staff to citizen
