Changing Funding for Services by Iowa City
AIC supports the original intent of A2A funding of, "providing a stable funding source for
human service agencies serving LMI residents based on the funding priorities set in
CITY STEPS...".
When adjusting for inflation, A2A funding has
decreased 17% between FY11 and FY19. YCO As a result, agencies have seen a decrease \7i
in funding while experiencing significant
increases in need.
*see "Aid to Agencies Funding _ Analysis"
Changing Service Landscape
Funding has not kept up with service growth,
changing scope of services, or increasing costs.
The following are examples of how this has looked for
a variety of agencies providing essential services to
the Iowa City community.

of Iowa City's Consolidated Plan: Emergency Shelter,
Rapid Rehousing, and Permanent Supportive Housing.

did not even exist in FY10 and weren't part of the
consideration for funding.
The totality of the scope of work has fundamentally
changed. We have expanded from a single-family home
to two facilities requiring 24/7 staffing and four homes.
With the inclusion of Rapid Rehousing and Permanent
Supportive Housing we are not only increasing the
number of people served but the rate at which people
move into and retain housing. Our focus is no longer
on managing homelessness but on ending it.

1. Approve the current funding recommendation from HCDC -help us move the
needle on the foundational level of funding
Continuing funding at this level is the minimum needed to maintain
sustainability, consistency and continuity in care.
2. Build- strengthen our continuum of care by increasing the investment in our
operating capacity and capital needs.
3. Commit to establishing new and increased financial resources. Invest in our
collective community impact.
