Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240 bob-miklo@iowa-city.org Re: Support for Grand Living at Iowa City REZ16-00003 Nepola Subdivision Dear Commissioners: 2016 APR -7 PH 4: 24 ' We reside at 60 Shagbark Court, Walnut Ridge Subdivision, which is immediately east of the proposed Grand Living at Iowa City project proposed by Ryan Companies. We are writing to you to express out support for the project. We have lived in the Walnut Ridge Subdivision for many years and since we fust moved in we have always enjoyed the beautiful views of the rural landscape just to the west of us. However, we have always anticipated, in light of our location within the City limits, that the property to the west of us would be developed someday. First came the Cardinal Ridge Development, which we have a full view of from the back of our house. Although we would have preferred to retain the majestic views of an undeveloped landscape, we understood that the Cardinal Ridge Development was a natural by-product of the continuing growth of our community. We have reviewed the plans for the Grand Living at Iowa City project. This project will be immediately behind our home, but we believe this project is appealing for several reasons: • We are in desperate need of quality senior housing in our community. • We are pleased to know that when we retire and consider downsizing, there will be a facility in our neighborhood that we can move to; • We believe this is a good utilization of infill development; • The future land use map attached to Iowa City's Comprehensive plan indicates that this area of the City is appropriate for residential development at a density of 2 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The proposed rezoning would allow a maximum of 8 dwelling units per acre, which is within the range contemplated by the Comprehensive Plan. • One of the goals of our community should be to provide a mix of housing types within a neighborhood. We do not believe that additional development of large single family homes would be the best use of this property. • From the elevations that we have seen, the architecture and use of brick and stone materials is very attractive. • We do not object to the mass and scale of the proposed building. The design of the building allows residents easy access to its amenities. • It appears to us that the building (which we find to be very attractive) is consistent in mass and scale to the new Oaknoll building, which doesn't enjoy the same natural buffers that this project will have. This is a unique piece of property. The property is extensively wooded which will help create a visual buffer around the project. It appears to us that the project allows for the preservation of many of the sensitive features of the property. • We have read the Staff Report for the project and the Iowa City staff is supportive. We understand that the Walnut Ridge Homeowners Association Board of Directors may object to this project. You should know that the Board of Directors do not necessarily speak for all of the Walnut Ridge Homeowners. In fact, we know several of our neighbors who are in support of this project, because our community is lacking in senior living units and the impact on Walnut Ridge is really quite minimal. It appears to us that many of those who oppose the project are of the "Not in My Backyard" (NIMBY variety). We wanted to let you know that there are residents, like us, who are in support of this project for our community. Dave and Suzy Heck 60 Shagbark Court Iowa City, IA 52246 cc: Iowa City Council (via email) council@iowa-city.org 0 d N Cn Marian Karr From: Maria <marialukas19@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2016 10:32 PM To: Council Subject: Camp Cardinal Road Rezoning Dear Council Member: We live on Shagbark Court, just east of the proposed rezoning and development by Ryan Companies on Camp Cardinal Road. We are strongly opposed to the proposal because it is far greater in scope than the current zoning that was in place when we moved to our current home, and it will have a significant detrimental impact on our neighborhood as well as existing retirement communities in the area. The land is currently zoned for single family homes, which would be similar to the adjoining neighborhoods in terms of noise levels, traffic requirements, and lighting impact. We invested in our property with that expectation. We now learn that the city is inclined to rezone in order to allow development of a 4 -story, 200 - unit (170 now and 30 later) senior living facility requiring substantial lighting for safety and considerable traffic flow in restricted space. The proposed facility far exceeds the occupancy of Melrose Meadows, an established senior living community just two minutes away from the proposed site. The new development will have about the total number of units as Melrose Meadows and Walden Place (just a couple miles away, also on the west side) combined. The impact of a facility of such a scope on a residential neighborhood will be significant. With 200 units, it could reasonably house over 300 residents, a goodly number of whom drive. Such a facility also will require substantial staffing. Media reports about Oaknoll—also on the west side, just a little farther away than the other two—indicate that such a development would call for half again the number of staff as residents. These figures suggest a considerable increase in traffic—literally hundreds of additional cars --despite the cursory attention and inadequate space accorded this issue in the developer's plans. The proposed development also is very likely to affect these other west side retirement communities. A representative from Grand Living, the owner of the proposed development, explained proudly at a neighborhood meeting recently that its development would be outfitted lavishly with a variety of facilities listed more completely on its website (htW://grandliving.com/grand-living-in-iowa-cit already advertising the Iowa City location: A performance theater providing theatrical, musical and lifelong learning programs. An engaging wellness center and spa featuring indoor pool, exercise studio, offices for rotating medical providers, and a full service salon. A Library and Grand Lounge, Woodworking Shop, Chapel and Meditation Center, Pet Grooming Center, Piano and Instrumental Practice Rooms. It is clearly intended to be a luxury facility very likely to attract potential residents away from the city's existing retirement communities. The new facility will not address any need for affordable senior living—unless the city plans to subsidize the development and operations. The development as currently proposed is ill-conceived for the site in question. Its scope is too great to avoid detrimental impact on the adjoining residential neighborhoods, as well as on the established retirement communities in the area. We urge you to deny the requested change in zoning. Thank you for your consideration Maria Lukas and Culver Boldt Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Public hearing on a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation of property located north of Melrose Ave and east of Camp Cardinal Blvd from residential 2-8 dwelling units per acre to Office Commercial (CPA16- 00001) The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approva by a vote of 7-0 nttp:;, w iogov.org�5ile,CMSvZ,File,,plan ingrurba^.ZoningMap.pe CAMP CARl)/N R� O MELROSE AVE , r I ti 41 b Akt.lil* 7 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the City Council of Iowa City will hold a public hearing on the 3rd day of May, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. in the Emma J.

KARR, CITY CLERK r -4 CITY OF IOWA CITY �M MEMORANDUM Date: April 28, 2016 To: Geoff Fruin, Interim City Manager From: Ron Knoche, Director of Public Works, Re: 1807 Lower Muscatine Road — Conveyance of Single Family Home Introduction: The City currently owns the single family home at 1807 Lower Muscatine Road. History/Background: In 2009 during the preliminary design of the Lower Muscatine Road Improvements Project, the property on the southeast corner of the Lower Muscatine Road and Sycamore Street intersection (1807 Lower Muscatine Road) was placed on the real estate market. During the design of the project, it was determined having control of the property during the construction of the project would be in the best interest of the City. When the City purchased the property in 2009, it was with the understanding it would be sold after the completion of the project. The City rented the property during the time of ownership. The City also performed necessary maintenance. The Lower Muscatine Road Improvements Project is complete. Discussion of Solutions: The property at 1807 Lower Muscatine Road is no longer needed due to the completion of the Lower Muscatine Road Project. The City's affordable housing location model prohibits the City from subsidizing the sale to an affordable housing provider. The City listed the property on For Sale Buy Owner (FSBO). The City has received a full asking price offer. Financial Impact: The amount of the sale will be $145,700. These funds will be placed in the Lower Muscatine Road Project fund to help offset a portion of the short fall of the Project. Recommendation: Staff recommends the approval of the conveyance of the property at 1807 Lower Muscatine Road. Prepared by: Susan Dulek, Assistant City Attorney, 410 E.

History/background: This is an annual application filed with Iowa DOT listing capital and operating expenses that we wish to see funded by IDOT and FTA. The projects contained in the application have been programmed by Iowa City Transit for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307, 5310 and/or 5339 funds in FY2017. The projects will be included in the FY2017 Iowa DOT Consolidated Transit Funding Application that MPOJC is completing and in the FY2017-2020 MPOJC Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Iowa City Transit may not seek funding for all of the projects; however, each project needs to be listed in order to be eligible for funding. Discussion of Solution: Following is a summary of the funds being applied for: State Transit Assistance Program: approximately $513,374 — These are formula funds awarded to the MPO and then distributed between Iowa City Transit, Coralville Transit and the University of Iowa — Cambus. Federal operating assistance for transit: $1,439,334 — These are funds awarded from FTA to provide operational assistance to the transit agency. From federal funds for transit in non -urbanized areas and/or for transit serving primarily elderly persons and person with disabilities: $119,704 — These funds are awarded to Iowa City and committed to para -transit services that are contracted through a 28E Agreement with Johnson County SEATS State-wide federal capital assistance for transit: $17,787,300 — These funds include all of the capital projects that Iowa City Transit wishes to see funded. This sum includes replacement and relocation of the transit facility and the replacement of severalbuses. A local match of 15% - 20% is commonly required for the award of these funds. Financial Impact: The most substantial financial impact will result from the local match required of the capital projects, especially considering the magnitude of the transit facility replacement and relocation project. This project is estimated at $20 million with an estimated local match of $4 million. The Transportation & Resource Management Department has accumulated a reserve account to cover the local match on the remaining capital projects. u Public Notice Notice is hereby given that a public meeting will be held by the City Council of Iowa City, Iowa, at 7:00 p.m. on the P of May 2016, in Emma J.

CY2016 Funding Summary (source: National Association of Housing and Rehabilitation Officials NAHRO): Tenant -Based Rental Assistance Programs (TBRA) Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Funds: The FY 2016 House bill would provide $18.151 billion for HAP renewals. This is an increase of $665 million from the enacted FY 2015 budget, but $183 million less than the FY 2016 President's budget request of $18.334 billion. As a result of anticipated increases in leasing in 2015 and the Inflationary pressures of the private rental market, NAHRO be- lieves that this amount will be insufficient to meet all PHAs' full renewal needs. NAHRO estimates that this bill would be adequate to provide all PHAs with about 99 percent of their renewal eligibility. HUD-VASH: The House bill, like the President's FY 2016 budget request, does not provide any funding for new VASH vouchers in FY 2016. In explaining the De - Page 4 Annual Report — 2016 partment's 2016 request, HUD noted that HUD-VASH voucher allocations, which remain restricted to HUD-VASH eligible homeless veterans upon turnover, pro- vide sufficient resources to serve the target population. Ongoing Administrative Fees: The House bill would maintain level -funding at $1.53 billion for ongoing administrative fees. However, because of increases in anticipated leasing and inflationary pressures, NAHRO estimates that this amount would be sufficient to fund only a 68 percent proration. This is signifi- cantly less than the President's budget request of $2.01 billion, which would result in a 90 percent proration. NAHRO will continue to advocate for $2.233 billion to fully fund PHAs' administrative fee eligibility. Ongoing administrative fees have been underfunded for years. Since FY 2013, when PHAs received only 68 percent of their eligibility for ongoing administrative fees, national voucher leasing has declined substantially and many PHAs have struggled to maintain efficient voucher programs in light of such reduced administrative funding. The House bill carries forward the provision allowing HUD to use unobligated TBRA funds from prior years, except those appropriated for special purpose vouchers, to augment administrative fees. NAHRO will continue to advocate for HUD to utilize this language to increase the administrative fee proration early in the year, rather than waiting until the end of the year and implementing any increase retroactively. Public Housing Operating Fund The omnibus provides $4.5 billion to support the operation and management of public housing. This is $60 million above the FY 2015 funding level and what was proposed by the House bill. This amount is $160 million below the President's proposed budget. Funding provided by the omnibus is sufficient to fund only 83.8 percent of PHAs' anticipated formula eligibility. In addition to a slight in- crease in the funding level, the bill recognizes the challenges of operating a cal- endar year program with fiscal year appropriations; as a result, the bill would extend the period of availability of Operating Funds from 1 year to 2 years. Public Housing Capital Fund The omnibus provides $1.9 billion for the Capital Fund, $160 million more than the Senate bill and $220 million more than the House bill. This is an increase of $20 million compared to FY15 funding. Although an increase from FY15, this amount is still dramatically lower than the $3.4 billion annual accrual baseline established by HUD's 2010 Capital Needs Assessment. Page 5 Annual Report — 2016 Housing Choice Voucher Program The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Ur- ban Development (HUD) with the intent of increas- ing affordable housing choices for low-income fami- lies, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Fami- lies with a HCV voucher choose and lease safe, de- cent, and affordable privately owned rental housing. Total number of available HCV and Veterans' Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers = 1,292. HCV Economic Impact: For Calendar Year 2015 (CY15), the Housing Choice Voucher program paid approximately $6.5 million in Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) to landlords/owners of rental properties in Johnson County. The vouchers in use, as of 2/10/2016, in Iowa City (826) represents 4.5% of the total number of rental units (18,197) in the City of Iowa City. Following is the Johnson County breakdown by city.

Page 6 Annual Report — 2016 Public Housing Public housing was established to provide affordable, decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, elderly persons, and persons with disabilities. The U.S. Depart- ment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) distributes federal subsidies to the Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA), which owns and manages the housing. The eighty-one (8 1) Public Housing units are low-density, constructed to con- form and blend into the existing neighborhood architecture. The 81 Public Housing units represent half (1/2) of 1% of the total number of rental units in the City of Iowa City. Public Housing Economic Impact for the City of Iowa City: • Total CY15 rental income from Public Housing properties = $237,306 • Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) paid to the Johnson County Assessor for the Public Housing properties in CY15 = $20,629 • In CY15, the Housing Authority paid $175,575 to private sector Iowa City contractors for the capital improvement, general maintenance and repair of the Public Housing properties.

Page 9 Annual Report — 2016 Public Housing Waiting List January 31, 2016 Applicant (applicant family): A person or family that has applied for admis- sion to the Iowa City Housing Authority's Public Housing program but is not yet a participant. Eligibility for housing programs is not established until applicants reach the top of the waiting list and their Preliminary Application for Assistance is brocessed. The Iowa City Housing Authority's jurisdiction is Johnson County, Iowa; Iowa County, Iowa; and, Washington County, Iowa, North of Highway 92. The gen- eral applicant pool from which the Housing Authority draws to determine pro- gram eligibility are elderly, disabled, and families with children under the age of 18 who are residents (have a legal domicile) or are employed, in our jurisdiction (Johnson County, Iowa County, and Washington County N of HWY 92). When vacancies exist, the Housing Authority draws applicants from this pool by date and time of application and only those applications of families who qualify for the bedroom size of the available Public Housing units. The eligibility deter- mination process includes verification of residency, family composition, eligibility status, and a national criminal background check conducted through the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Page I I Annual Report — 2016 Promoting Self -Sufficiency & Homeownership The lack of safe, decent, and affordable housing undermines quality education, public health, and economic growth. Affordable housing is a contrib- uting factor to stabilizing families. Stable families are better equipped to take advantage of educational opportunities. With opportunities for and access to advanced education and training, families increase their employability. Sustainable employment offers opportunities to attain self-sufficiency. Economic self -sufficiency leads to a better society and strengthens the "sense of community." Through our Self -Sufficiency programs, the Housing Authority is helping low income families bridge the economic gap by building assets, improving employ- ment opportunities, and transitioning from renters of units to owners of homes. The Family Self-sufficiency (FSS) Program: Promotes self-sufficiency and asset development by providing supportive services to participants to in- crease their employability, to increase the number of employed participants, and to encourage increased savings through an escrow savings program. Current FSS Enrollment Data (3110/2016): • Total FSS participants =160 • Participants with an escrow savings account =126 (787) • Average monthly escrow savings deposit (participants with an escrow balance) _ $241 • Average escrow savings account balance (participants with an escrow balance) _ $3,165 • Highest escrow savings account balance = $17,026 Workshop Accreditations: • "Money Smart": Federal Deposit and Insurance Corporation (FDIC) FSS Workshop Collaborations • April 2015: Money Smart Week—Starting a Business.

Collaborated with Shelter House Homebuyer Education Conducted in Partnership with the Io- wa City Area Association of Realtors: • The Homebuyer Education program was developed by the Iowa City Area Association of Realtors and the Iowa City Housing Authority. It is available via the internet. Those completing the course receive a Mortgage Readi- ness Certificate. The course is required for families interested in participat- ing in the Housing Authority's homeownership programs. Homeownership Programs: FSS Homeownership: Through our FSS program, many families have used their escrow savings accounts and private mortgages to attain homeownership independent of the Housing Authority programs. Fifty-nine (59) FSS graduates have moved to homeownership. HCV Homeownership Program: Eligible participants have the option of purchasing a home with their HCV assistance rather than renting. • Thirty-nine (39) HCV Vouchers have been used to purchase homes since January 2003; Fifteen (I5) HCV Vouchers are currently active. Tenant -to -Ownership Program (TOP): The Tenant -to -Ownership Pro- gram is funded by HUD. The TOP program offered opportunities for low to very low-income families to purchase single-family homes owned by the Housing Authority. • Twenty-six (26) homes have been sold and ten (10) resold since May 1998. Affordable Dream Home Ownership Program (ADHOP): The Afforda- ble Dream Home Ownership Program is operated, managed and funded solely by the ICHA. It offers opportunities for income eligible families to purchase newly constructed homes, newer homes, or resale of homes purchased through the TOP/ADHOP programs. • Sixteen (I6) homes (10 "Universal Design" homes) were built and sold since May 1999.

First -Time homebuyers with a household income of less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) may be eligible for a forgivable loan for down payment assistance. At the date of this publication: • 20 families purchased homes (tocol funds expended) _ $187,500 • Families with household income 60-80% of AMI = I I • Families with household income <60% of AMI = 9 UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership: The UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership is a cooperative effort of the City of Iowa City and the University of Iowa focusing on neighborhoods located near the University campus that retain a single-family character and a demand for single-family housing, but that also have a large renter population. From May 2011 to May 2015, the Iowa City Housing Authority provided $102,276 in down payment assistance to sixteen (16) families purchasing a Uni- verCity home. In FY2014, the ICHA allocated $170,000 to the UniverCity Neighborhood Part- nership for the rehabilitation of homes purchased by the City of Iowa City. In FY 2015, an additional $20,000 was allocated for rehabilitation of homes. From June 2014 to September 2015, ICHA funds in the amount of $165,164.25 were used for the rehabilitation of eight (8) homes purchased by the City of Iowa City. Remaining ICHA Funds for UniverCity: Housing Rehabilitation = $24,835.75 * * This amount is different from the amount reported in the 2015 Annual report as GO Funds were used on homes originally targeted for rehabilitation with ICHA funds. The ICHA Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) Program Coordinating Committee has been replaced with an already existing wider -reaching network that has lessened Page 14 Annual Report — 2016 Promoting Self -Sufficiency & Homeownership (continued) the duplication of effort in leveraging community resources to promote self- sufficiency among FSS program participants. The FSS coordinator has joined the Community Reentry Network of Johnson County Area which includes repre- sentatives from educational institutions, employment services, government agen- cies, housing agencies, neighborhood centers, labor programs and family ser- vices.

The uses of the cash sources are based on relevant HUD notic- es and signed agreements between the Housing Authority and HUD. Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Administrative Fees Administrative fees are available to the ICHA for the operation and manage- ment of the HCV program. Starting January 31, 2004, HUD and Congress, through the approval of the Annual Appropriations Act, restricted the use of ad- ministrative fee income to activities related to the HCV tenant -based rental assis- tance and related development activities (PIH Notice 2008-15). Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) HUD provided funds to cover the housing subsidy paid to owners/landlords directly by the ICHA on behalf of the participating family. The family pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program. Under certain circumstances, if authorized by the ICHA, a family may use its voucher to purchase a modest home. HUDIVeterans' Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Tenant based rental assistance funds targeting homeless veterans participating in VA Case Management Services. Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) The FSS program is a tenant self-sufficiency work incentive program. ICHA estab- lishes cash accounts for tenants that will be available to the tenant if the tenant completes the program. ICHA's contributions to these accounts are funded by HUD through the ICHA's regular funding process. FSS cash is not available to ICHA for any other use. Page 17 Annual Report — 2016 Public Housing Operations Under Section 9(3) of the Housing Act of 1937, Operating Funds are available to the ICHA for the operation and management of the Public Housing program. These funds assist the ICHA in bridging the gap between the rent collected and the operating expenses of the program. Operating cash is only available for the use and benefit of public housing units and residents. Housing Authority Capitol Fund Grants HUD provides funds to the ICHA to improve the physical condition, upgrade the management and operation and carry out other activities for Public Housing developments. These funds are primarily used for general maintenance and re- pair of the Public Housing units. As necessary, these funds will also be used to upgrade structures, interiors, HVAC systems and appliances. Capital Funds are calculated and allocated by an established formula. Affordable Dream Homeownership Program (ADHOP) On September 3, 1993, the ICHA entered into a Section 5(h) Agreement with HUD. The purpose of this program is to create affordable home ownership oppor- tunities throughout Iowa City. This agreement authorizes the ICHA to sell Public Housing units and use the sales proceeds to construct or purchase homes for reha- bilitation to continue the cycle. To ensure affordability, the ICHA provides a se- cond mortgage for the homeowners. Broadway Sales Proceeds ICHA received approval from HUD for the sale of 18 units at 1926/1946 Broadway Street Per the approved plan submitted to HUD, the sales proceeds were to be used for the development of 18 low-density scattered site replacement units that would be more efficiently and effectively operated as lower income housing. There is no other permissible use of these funds per the agreement Public Housing Tenant Security Deposits The ICHA holds security deposits until tenants vacate units. At that time, the ten- ants receive a full or partial refund depending on such factors as remaining rental or other charges outstanding and reimbursement of damage repairs. Tenant security deposit cash is not available to ICHA for any other use.

Twenty-six (26) families responded. May 2009 In May 2009, The Housing Authority sent the 26 RAB interest survey respondents a copy of the survey used to collect citizen input for CITY STEPS Iowa City's Consolidated Plan for Housing, Jobs, and Services for Low -Income Residents 2010 — 2015. Eight (8) families responded. October 2010 In June 2008, the Iowa City Housing Authority's Public Housing unit located at 608 Eastmoor, Iowa City, Iowa, was severely damaged by flooding. It was located in the 500 year flood -plain. Due to the City of Iowa City's intent to purchase all properties located the 100 and 500 year flood -plains, the Housing Authority submitted a Demolition/Disposition applications to the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD requires RAB input/comment for Demolition/Disposition applications. The 26 respondents to the Housing Authority's March 2009 RAB Interest Survey were contacted to submit input/comments — none responded. December 2014 In December 2014, The Housing Authority surveyed all active Public Housing tenants (75 families) to determine interest in serving on a Resident Advisory Board (RAB). Seven (7) families responded: three (3) stating an interest: four (4) stating no interest. Analysis of the recommendations submitted by Resident Advisory Board (RAB) and the decisions made on these recommendations. There appears to be very Iittle interest in Housing Authority participating families in serving on a RAB focusing on solely on Housing Authority programs and services. The majority of comments received via 3 separate survey instruments are beyond the scope, power, and authority of the Iowa City Housing Authority to impact these concerns, or other City Departments and Community Based Agencies are better suited to meet these concerns. Examples include fixing streets, repairing abandoned homes, empowering neighborhoods, dealing with perception of City-wide increase in criminal activity, Safety, events, neighborhood development & clean up etc. The Iowa City Housing Authority and the City of Iowa City Neighborhood Services will continue the initiative we launched in 2008: "Good Neighbors—Strong Neighborhoods". The idea is to partner with Neighborhood Associations to develop strategies to promote the peaceful enjoyment of the neighborhood for all residents. Our goal is the increased participation of Housing Authority clients in the activities sponsored by the City of Iowa City Neighborhood Associations. Through the Office of Neighborhood Services, the City of Iowa City supports and encourages neighborhood action and provides ideas and resources that can help shape the future of a neighborhood. The City coordinates with the Neighborhood Associations to work through their short and long term needs that best serve the interests of the neighborhood within the goals of the larger community. The City of Iowa City also provides financial and technical assistance in the printing and mailing of newsletters and meeting notices. We will repeat the survey process in partnership with the City of Iowa City Housing and Community Development Commission when citizen input is collected for CITY STEPS Iowa City's Consolidated Plan for Housing, Jobs, and Services for Low -Income Residents 2021 — 2025 and the Iowa City Housing Authority 5 -year plan for 2021 — 2025.
