MINUTES PRELIMINARY HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2017 — 6:30 PM SENIOR CENTER, ROOM 202 MEMBERS PRESENT: Peter Byler, Syndy Conger, Christine Harms, Harry Olmstead, Dorothy Persson, Emily Seiple, Paula Vaughan ABSENT: Bob Lamkins, John McEinstry STAFF PRESENT: Tracy Hightshoe OTHERS PRESENT: Maryann Dennis, Chris Villhauer RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL: By a vote of 7-0 the Commission recommends to amend the FYI Annual Action Plan to allocate all the FY17 HOME returned funds (Shelter House - $250,000) to the following eligible projects (recommended as FY18 projects, but can proceed immediately) $200,000 ICHA — Tenant Based Rent Assistance and $50,000 to Habitat for Humanity — Affordable Homeownership. By a vote of 7-0 the Commission recommends altering the March 7 CDBG/HOME budget HCDC recommendation to City Council by removing the two HOME projects (ICHA — Tenant Based Rent Assistance and Habitat for Humanity) from the FY18 Annual Action Plan and altering the HOME budget- Congress has not passed a budget yet and Iowa City has not received their final entitlement amount- As the City is expecting additional cuts to HOME, HCDC recommends the following HOME budget: • Successful Living: $36,000 • The Housing Fellowship Rehab: $97,000 • The Housing Fellowship CHDO Operations: $7,000 • Housing Rehab: $90,000 (Council set -aside) • HOME admin: $25,500 (Council set -aside) • Total HOME budget: $255,500 If the final HOME budget exceeds the estimated HOME budget by $20,000, the available HOME funds will be allocated to The Housing Fellowship- If less than $255,500, the projects will receive a pro -rated reduction- If the final HOME budget is more than $275,500, staff will have another funding round for HOME funds- No applicant will receive less than the original March 7 HCDC recommendation if another funding round is needed. Ifthe CDBG recommendation is within 20% of the estimate, the amount will be prorated to each project (increase or decrease) up to the requested amount if an increase. CALLMEETING TO ORDER: Byler called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM. Housing and Community Development Commission April 20, 2017 Page 2 of 8 FAUU1111VAI[I]0110IIDIJAKInLf11WAFTI 0IA1111Y Hightshoe noted that in the conversation about Successful Living and why it had to be CDBG funds the reason is based on deciding if a project is financially feasible throughout the affordability period without Medicaid payments for housing support services. Is the amount of rent collected, just rent, enough for them to operate affordable housing and be financially stable for the whole compliance period? Paragraph in minutes should read: Byler began with the Successful Living project and noted there are six commissioners that agreed to fully fund that project. Hightshoe noted that should be funded under CBDG funds as it may not be HOME eligible. Project must demonstrate feasibility over the whole compliance period without the support of Medicaid payments for support services. She has called HUD to inquire and that was verified. Conger noted some grammatical errors throughout the minutes. Olmstead moved to approve the minutes of March 7, 2017 with edits. Vaughn seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. PUBLIC COMMENT FOR TOPICS NOT ON THE AGENDA: None. MONITORING REPORTS: Bilam Properties, LLC: Chris Villhauer (Director of Property Management, Southgate Companies) presented an update to the Commission. He stated they are on schedule with their project and will be done in the May timeframe. The feedback they have received from the townhouses that have been completed has been positive and the tenants are enjoying their new homes. Persson asked if this was the property off Mormon Trek, Villhauer confirmed it was, and how many of the units have now been upgraded. Villhauer stated they are updating 40 units with this current grant, and own 53 total units in the complex. Of the 13 not being updated at this time, some have had work done on them previously and others will have work done in the near future. Hightshoe explained that Bilam Properties, LLC received a $600,000 loan and they have spent all but around $100,000. Byler asked if they are moving tenants out of the apartments while renovating and then moving them back in. Villhauer said they gave tenants the option of moving to another unit in the complex and then moving back in once renovated, or just moving to a different unit permanently. Byler asked if anyone has had their lease expire and renewed since they have been in a newly renovated unit and did their rent increase. Villhauer stated they did not raise any of Housing and Community Development Commission April 20, 2017 Page 3 of 8 the rents for the units, and all the lease renewals they are doing for August there will also not be any rent increase. Olmstead asked if any of the units were accessible, Villhauer stated they are not. Hightshoe added the bedrooms are upstairs in the units. Byler asked if they do all their work in-house and Villhauer said they generally subcontract out and that is part of the reason why the process has been a little slower. The Housing Fellowship: Maryann Dennis (Executive Director) started her report noting the Sabin Townhomes are under construction, scheduled to be ready for rental in August. Hightshoe asked when they will close on the purchase of those units. Dennis believes they will close on their three units sometime in July. Dennis next discussed the rehab on the houses on Dover and Wayne Streets. Both are complete. There was a thank you note from the tenants of those units in the Commissioners' packets. Those tenants have lived in that property since 1998 and are thrilled with the updates. Dennis noted that The Housing Fellowship had to invest quite a bit of money into the Dover Street house and there are some huge overgrown trees that need considerable work and they are waiting on the weather to cooperate with finishing that project. Regarding the FY17 money, they have not yet utilized it. That $58,000 was intended to purchase one property but with the market in Iowa City and the location model makes it difficult. It they purchase one property it will likely have to be a condominium and the issue with The Housing Fellowship purchasing condominiums is the condo association fees and because the rents are capped. The Fellowship does own several condominiums, but the budget this year just for condo fees is $80,000 so therefore they would prefer to try and not buy another condo. Those fees are unpredictable, and the older condos can have assessments as well. Dennis would prefer if the Commission would allow them to look for land; they have identified three possible sites in Iowa City with the hopes of submitting a low-income house tax credit application to build on the site. So the $58,000 would be for a land acquisition. Hightshoe stated that the City has to commit the funds and if this year goes by without the funds being used and The Housing Fellowship doesn't get the tax credit in November, there is no time to allocate the funds to something else. It would be an issue of timing that Hightshoe would need to review and she will work with The Housing Fellowship to see what can be achieved. Persson asked how long The Housing Fellowship would hold the land before being able to build. Dennis said when you apply for the tax credit they must have control of the land, and the application for the tax credit is due in November and awarded in March. Then typically it is not until fall that the construction begins, once all due diligence is complete. Hightshoe stated that is her concern, if The Housing Fellowship does not get the tax credit in March, we only have until July 31 to commit the funds. We would have to have a project ready to go (site secured, environmental review done, underwriting and market analysis done, etc.) to commit these funds by July or HUD will recapture those funds. Housing and Community Development Commission April 20, 2017 Page 4 of 8 Dennis noted that with the FY18 money The Housing Fellowship hopes to receive ($86,000 pending Council approval), that project also includes money from The Housing Trust Fund, which has not been awarded yet. So the backup plan could be, if the Commission agrees, the $86,000 is for five units and they could go up to almost $125,000 for those five units, and then find another house to rehab. Persson asked if The Housing Fellowship could meet the timelines with the backup plan. Dennis confirmed for rehabs absolutely. Dennis added that the properties that they just released had other properties in that agreement that could be used for rehab. Byler commented on the original $58,000 to buy a home, at the meeting where the Commission allocated those funds it came to light, for example, why Successful Living has an easier time providing houses than The Housing Fellowship is because they are SRO units and the rents are like $2,800 for a four -bedroom unit. Byler asked why The Housing Fellowship couldn't rehab a house to have three individuals in one house in an effort to achieve lower rents for each SRO unit. Hightshoe noted that The Housing Fellowship focuses on families while Successful Living focuses on individuals. Byler understands but noted that the housing costs are continuing to go up and the rents are not. Byler stated he is fine with what The Housing Fellowship wants to do with the $58,000 and the rest of the Commissioners were also in agreement. Hightshoe said once The Housing Fellowship states their preference, rehab. or land acquisition, staff will prepare an Action Plan amendment. Dennis said she will find out the allocation from the Rehab Trust Fund next week. They have three possible land sites and they could do between 24 and 30 units. Mayor's Youth Empowerment Program: Hightshoe noted that Kari Wilken (Director of Resources, Mayors Youth Employment Program) could not be at the meeting tonight but sent an update via email to Kris Ackerson that Hightshoe will forward to the Commission. Shelter House: Hightshoe gave a quick update. Rapid Rehousing Program (tenant based rental assistance) was increased to $90,000 because of the Rose Oaks situation and they have spent all but $11,000. The grant was to end in November 2016, but entered an amendment to extend till December 2017 to expend all the funds. Tenant based rent assistance takes time to spend as assistance goes out each month, not in one large payment. The FUSE land acquisition declined their award and returned the $250,000 back to the City. They already own the land. Shelter House chose not to accept the HOME award because when they discussed the project with the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) they were told that IFA did not want to combine local HOME dollars and National Trust Fund dollars on the same project. Byler asked if it was IFA's preference or requirement. Hightshoe said there is no law, but IFA told Shelter House they prefer an application that does not combine HOME funds with Trust Fund dollars. Housing and Community Development Commission April 20, 2017 Page 5 of 8 CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING PROPOSED FY2017 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AMENDMENT #1: Hightshoe explained that the City administers two programs; CDBG and HOME. While HUD programs they have different rules. On May 2 of each year HUD reviews CDBG timeliness. The City can't have more than 1.5 times their entitlement funds in their line of credit as of May 2 or the City must enter a "workout plan" to ensure the funds are spent on a timely basis. Hightshoe stated the City does not anticipate any problems meeting this deadline this year. The HOME program does not go by an expenditure ratio. Instead, funds must be committed by a certain date. There are two years to commit HOME funds but if the City has received more program income than anticipated it doesn't always match what is programmed out. If after two years if the dollars have not been committed HUD will take the funds back and will reallocate to another community. Therefore the City always tries to make sure HUD never recaptures any of the HOME funds. The word commit has a very specific meaning in the HOME program. A site must be secured, environmental review done, underwriting and marketing analysis completed, all sources of funds known and committed and an agreement entered to "commit" funds. So therefore when Shelter House declined their $250,000 award, staff looked at what projects could be committed by July 31 as we have a HOME commitment shortfall. This needs to be resolved by July 31. Habitat for Humanity has a site with an option to buy, and the money can be committed as soon as the environmental review is complete. The other option is tenant based rent assistance, it is environmentally exempt, and that could be committed instantly. It also doesn't need underwriting analysis because tenant based rent assistance is exempt. Those two projects would be $220,000. This would be more than enough to meet our HOME commitment shortfall. These projects would be moved from the FY18 Action Plan to FY17. That would leave $30,000 to allocate for FY18. Hightshoe noted that the City still has not received their HUD budget, and they cannot submit an Annual Action Plan to HUD without the budget, so they are in a holding pattern. HUD anticipates CDBG to be approximately the same with perhaps a small cut; however they anticipate cuts to the HOME program. Staff would like to get the Annual Action Plan ready so once they receive the HUD budget they can immediately submit the Plan to Council for approval. However, it may not be fair to have another funding round to request submissions for HOME funds only to find out that the City doesn't receive enough HOME funds to cover the full recommendation. When the Commission voted on the FY18 Annual Action Plan they made the recommendation that if the available funds are within 20% of the allocations all will be adjusted accordingly, if it is greater than a 20% differential the Commission will reconvene. Hightshoe is now suggesting for more guidance from the Commission on whether the 20% would be for the CDBG projects and a different recommendation for the HOME projects knowing now that the budget they predicted will likely be less for HOME. Seiple noted that two of the HOME projects in FY18 are now being funded in FY17 by the Shelter House monies. Hightshoe confirmed that was true. Housing and Community Development Commission April 20, 2017 Page 6 of 8 Byler stated that with the tenant based rent assistance money, Steve Rackis indicated that money would basically sit there until such time it was needed. Hightshoe stated they have four years to spend it. Persson noted that Rackis stated he would likely need all that money and it would be spent. Hightshoe said there are 2,000 people on the waitlist, that money can be spent. Olmstead suggested giving tenant based rent assistance $200,000 and Habitat for Humanity $20,000. Seiple asked about the other $30,000. Hightshoe stated that Habitat for Humanity can only proceed with one of their homes immediately which is why the other $30,000 could be carried over to FY18. Persson asked if any of the money could be moved down to public facilities. Hightshoe confirmed they could not because it was HOME money. The CDBG recommendations are proceeding how the Commission recommended at the March meeting, it is the HOME money that is being redistributed. The Commission discussed the $30,000 and whether to allocate it now rather than carry it over to FY18. Byler wondered if more money was given to Habitat for Humanity if they could find another lot to purchase. Byler would prefer to commit the additional $30,000. Olmstead was in agreement but wanted to make sure the $30,000 was allocated to where it could meet the most need, if there are so many on the waitlist for housing perhaps the funds should go there. Olmstead moved to amend the FY17 Annual Action Plan to allocate all the FY17 HOME returned funds (Shelter House - $250,000) to the following eligible projects (previously recommended as FY18 projects, but can proceed immediately) $200,000 to the Iowa City Housing Authority for Tenant Based Rent Assistance and $50,000 to Habitat for Humanity - Affordable Homeownership. This recommendation will be submitted to City Council for consideration and approval. Persson seconded the motion. Vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. REVIEW AND CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL ON APPROVAL OF FY18 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN Byler noted that with the amendment to the FY17 Annual Action Plan it changes the recommended awards to the FYI Annual Action Plan HOME funds. The options are to 1) allocate a bunch of money with no guarantee the City will even receive those monies, 2) allocate no additional money now and when the budget is determined the partners can ask for more money; or 3) allocate the $140,000 from the awards that were moved to FY17. Hightshoe noted that if they lower the HOME allocation to $140,000 (does not include set asides) that changes the administration funds - admin is 10% of the entitlement amount plus 10% of program income. If the entitlement amount is drastically lower, the CHDO application only gets 5% of that amount (HOME requirement that CHDO operating does not exceed 5% of the entitlement amount). Therefore it is better to recommend a percentage (5%) for The Housing Fellowship CHDO operating allocation rather than an amount, so it adjusts accordingly with the funds received. Housing and Community Development Commission April 20, 2017 Page 7 of 8 Conger moved to alter the March 7 CDBG/HOME budget HCDC recommendation to City Council by removing the two HOME projects (ICHA - Tenant Based Rent Assistance and Habitat for Humanity) from the FY18 Annual Action Plan and altering the HOME budget. Congress has not passed a budget yet and Iowa City has not received their final entitlement amount. As the City is expecting additional cuts to HOME, HCDC recommends the following HOME budget: Successful Living $36,000, The Housing Fellowship Rehab - $97,000, CHDO Operations $7,000, Housing Rehab. $90,000 (Council set -aside), HOME admin: $25,500 (Council set -aside). Total HOME budget $255,500. If the final HOME budget exceeds the estimated HOME budget by $20,000, the available HOME funds will be allocated to The Housing Fellowship. If the grant is less than $255,500, the projects will receive a pro -rated amount. If the final HOME budget is more than $275,500, staff will have another funding round for HOME funds. No applicant will receive less than the original March 7 HCDC recommendation if another funding round is needed. If the CDBG recommendation is within 20% of the estimate, the amount will be prorated to each project (increase or decrease) up to the requested amount if an increase. Olmstead seconded the motion and it passed with a vote 7-0. Hightshoe stated that last year the City held the "So you want to start a business" series for primarily early stage entrepreneurs and due to its success it will be offered again this year, partnering with Kirkwood Community College and other community businesses. It will be a half -day event at Kirkwood on Saturday, May 20. They already have 25 participants registered. Olmstead announced that Sally Scott will be leaving the Coalition at the end of June. If anyone is interested please let him know. CORRESPONDENCE: There was a thank you note included in the Commissioner's packets. Olmstead moved to adjourn. Persson seconded the motion.

Provide a brief, one paragraph description of the proposed project: The loan is requested to acquire a parcel in the River Front Crossing District to construct twenty affordable and eight market rate apartments having one or two bedrooms. The building will have an elevator and underground parking. There will be commercial space on the street level of between 1,500 — 2,000 square feet. HOME funds will be used toward seven affordable residences. All will be constructed using universal design code and three will meet ADA accessibility. The eight market apartments will not be income targeted. Income targeting for the twenty affordable apartments: 2 at 30% AMI, 5 at 40% AMI, 13 at 60% AMI. The total project cost is $5,813,496 and will leverage $4,691,055 in private funds. The site was selected because it is available and there is a willing seller. It is near railroad, so noise reductions methods will be applied. 9. Please specify the one or two most applicable priority need(s) this application addresses, as shown in the 2016-2020 CITY STEPS Plan, and explain how this project will meet this/those need(s). The highest need and high priority in the STEPS Plan is expanding affordable rental and homeownership opportunities. The STEPS plan states that the City must account for problems that lower -income households face in competing with students for the limited supply of affordable rental housing; there is a strong need for affordable rental housing for households with low and very low -incomes. The City's Annual Action Plan states Households with incomes less than 50% of the area median income (AMI), particularly those with extremely low -incomes (less than 30% of AMI), are higher priorities. It is extremely difficult for very low-income households to purchase a home. 10.

From 2007 - 2013 in Iowa City, there were 1,220 single family and 1,075 multifamily building permits issued.

One of the homes we're purchasing is a property we are currently renting from an area landlord. 25. Please identify the relevant market factors that will assist the City in verifying the demand for the proposed housing based on the City of Iowa City HOME Market Analysis Policy for New Rental Construction, Rental Rehab. & Acquisition of Existing Homes (rental), or New Owner -Occupied Home Construction & Acquisition of Existing Homes (owner -occupied). If the project is large or complicated, the City may require a Market Analysis to support the project before entering a legally binding agreement for funds. This policy is not applicable to projects requesting funds for tenant based rental assistance, homeowner rehabilitation, downpayment assistance and CHDO operating expenses. Our services are needed and desired as evidenced by the number of referrals we receive and the waiting list we keep. Only a weekly basis we receive approximately 5 referrals from Case Managers seeking our Residential Services for clients on their caseload. Also, in order to live in a home that is operated by MYEP one must have a developmental disability and be approved by the State of Iowa for funding of Supported Community Living Residential Services.

Our facilities and people are integrated into safe, respectable Iowa City neighborhoods. Our client population always includes racially, culturally and sexually -identified diverse people, and all have very low incomes (30% and less of the MI). Our Homes reduce hospitalizations, law enforcement interactions, prevents/remedies homelessness and generally facilitates the improvement of client behavior and illness -related incidents. Clients come from prison, the streets and under bridges or shelters.

Our residential houses are an integral part of the entirety of our agency programming for helping the mentally ill. We would not enjoy our current success without collaborations with all other human services agencies in Iowa City, including State, Regional and local DHS offices; Abbe Center (Unity); Shelter House, and others. We have good communications with the MCOs (Managed Care Organizations that administer Iowa Medicaid funds) and have established good working relationships. We also effectively partner with Hills Bank, who reviews our operations and funding needs regularly, to finance our houses as we make acquisitions. They have approved our financing intentions moving forward to -date. Steve Noack is a very hands- on chair of our board, who also formerly was employed as Successful Living's Executive Director, and he continues to be an important partner in the agency's continued development and growth. We have, then, a team approach to serving the community. 13. Describe any identity of interest (101) relationships with the applicant and/or project owner, i.e. General Partner has a financial interest in the construction company, etc. 14. Program regulations require a minimum 25% match for HOME funding.

Total cost: $ 99,859 x .25 = $ 24,964 conventional bank loan 15. Briefly outline the proposed timetable for the commitment and expenditure of the funding being requested (include other project factors such as rezoning, construction schedule, or application(s) for other funding). If applicant plans to apply for funds not committed to the project yet, include the anticipated date for application. If funded, this schedule will be used for any project agreement for the use of HOME funding. Date: Description of Activity: July 1, 2017 Beginning of City Fiscal Year and Project Start Date July 1, 2017 We will immediately contact all who gave us bids on all the projects to begin scheduling immediately. Dec. 1, 2017 We expect all the projects to be completed by this date. It takes into consideration potential delays due to schedule conflicts and weather. 17. To help promote the efficient use of federal, state, and local funding, please describe how the project will maintain long-term (in excess of HOME program requirements) or permanent affordability or public assistance; and describe how the project will provide for affordable housing or public assistance at rates or prices lower than those in the existing market. Our low rents of $435/month/per person which will not change for FY18 as far as we know. We have left in the pre-set formula in the pro forma which indicates a 2% increase in rents each year, but have no plan to raise them yet (substantial rent increases put undue hardship on our client population). Our agency has been running our housing program for nineteen years, so we are experienced and here to stay. Our houses are long-term investments depreciated over thirty years. Because the nature of our agency programming, and because we are not a commercial real estate rental business, we recognize our (low) 80% rent collection rate as part of "the cost of doing business," which we are able to cover with billings for services rendered to our clients. Our housing program affords us the opportunity to provide other interventions (Outreach; Day Hab; Transitional Housing; Habilitation Housing) with our mentally ill clients to improve their overall physical health, certainly their mental health and improve the quality of their lives in general. The first element of client recovery is safe and secure, affordable housing, and that which will go the distance, which is evidenced by our history. It is our existing housing we are repairing and rehabbing with these funds. We have been in this business for 19 years and expect to continue for many more. 18. In what manner or form will the project proceed if it is awarded less than full funding? If there are several components, howwill they be prioritized? First, we will review our budget for other sources of cash we might "rearrange" to go toward these projects. We may discuss with the bank the possibility of additional commercial financing. More likely, we will put off projects we can't afford. Heating and cooling would prioritized over roofing, and flooring would come in last. We would have to review the new kitchen at Church, which is also important. We would stretch out over time all of the projects, leaving the lesser priorities to further along in the year. Our house management team would decide which project at which house would come first, assuming a longer timeline to secure the needed funding. 19.

Did you attend the Applicant Workshop? X Yes, attended on December 15 8. Provide a brief, one paragraph description of the proposed project: We will use this money for a 50% down payment on one Habilitation Home for the segment of the chronically mentally ill population in Iowa City who are not only unable to live independently, they ALSO require high levels of supportive care from our staff up to 19 hours/day. This home will house five people who require this high level care. This segment of the mentally ill population in Iowa City is of the highest risk for both general and psych hospital admissions; contact with law enforcement; and homelessness. They are not well enough for Transitional Housing. They live in our Hab Homes indefinitely, receiving all our programming services. We charge rents of $435/mo, regulated by the city/county, and historically have had higher than standard vacancies/losses (compared to a strictly commercial housing venture): this due to the nature of this population, and a vacancy rate from damage (the repair of which puts rooms out of commission longer compared to a commercial housing project). This rate has improved dramatically since we have changed the mix of services we offer now, and we also have smaller houses. Overall, our housing program exists to facilitate our other service programming (which includes Outreach; Day Hab; Habilitation Home direct care). Our Debt Coverage Ratio still appears somewhat low, but we choose to operate our Hab Homes because of the way in which we bill Medicaid (through the Managed Care Organizations (privatization of Medicaid)) for all of this service programming: this approach successfully subsidizes rents of our current houses, and the one we intend to purchase. It is part and parcel of our mission and we have a waiting list. Section 1� Need/Priorit j 9. Please specify the one or two most applicable priority need(s) this application addresses, as shown in the 2016-2020 CITY STEPS Plan, and explain how this project will meet this/those need(s). Using the grant for one housing down payment, we will provide decent, affordable residential accommodation to chronically mentally ill (03P) people who cannot succeed in either our or other agencies' Transitional Housing residences — these people are disabled (03B). Some are elderly (03A). To -date we have invested— bought our houses —and will continue -in existing Iowa City areas; our facilities and people are integrated into safe, respectable Iowa City neighborhoods. Our client population always includes racially, culturally and sexually - identified diverse people, and all have very low incomes (if any). Without Habilitation Homes, this segment are high consumers of in -patient hospital admissions; Hab Homes reduce hospitalizations, law enforcement interactions, prevents/remedies homelessness and generally facilitates the improvement of client behavior and illness -related incidents. Clients come from prison, the streets and under bridges or shelters. Many also have chronic substance abuse (03P) problems, from self -medicating in lieu of medical interventions, which we treat with the entirety of SL programminq. 10.

Describe any community partnerships or volunteers that will contribute to the project. Our Habilitation Homes are an integral part of the entirety of our agency programming for helping the mentally ill. We would not enjoy our current success without collaborations with all other human services agencies in Iowa City, including State, Regional and local DHS offices; Abbe Center; Shelter House, and others. We have good communications with the MCOs (Managed Care Organizations that administer Iowa Medicaid funds) and have established good working relationships. We also effectively partner with Hills Bank, who reviews our operations and funding needs regularly, to finance our houses as we make acquisitions. They have approved our purchasing intentions moving forward, and local realtor Ross Nusser, of Urban Acres Reality, is also intimately involved in partnering with us. Steve Noack is a very hands-on chair of our board, who also formerly was employed as Successful Living's Executive Director, and he continues to be an important partner in the agency's continued development and growth. We have, then, a team approach to serving the community. 13. Identify any identity of interest (101) relationships with the applicant and/or project owner, i.e. General Partner has a financial interest in the construction company, etc. NONE 14. For housing projects only, program regulations require a minimum 25% match for HOME funding. Describe how your organization or the proposed project will help the City of Iowa City meet this match requirement for local HOME funds. We are pursuing conventional financing for 57% of the purchase price from Hills Bank, our community partner, which is over 100% of the HOME funds requested. Local HOME funds requested: x .25 = $_25,000 Local Match 100,000 Ours exceeds 25%. 15. Briefly outline the proposed timetable for the commitment and expenditure of the funding being requested (include other project factors such as rezoning, construction schedule, or application(s) for other funding). If applicant plans to apply for funds not committed to the project yet, include the anticipated date for application. Please Note: If funded, this schedule will be used for any project agreement for the use of CDBG\HOME funding. Date: Description of Activity: July 1, 2017 Beginning of City Fiscal Year and Project Start Date July 1, 2017 We have been looking at houses and there are many for sale now that will fit our needs. We will make an offer as we receive the funds. We can close in 30 days, assuming inspections & title searches are positive. July 30-Aug 15 Toward the end of July or early August, after we have possession, we will add a bedroom and fencing. At same time, clients will move in. October 15 All renovations complete. 17. To help promote the efficient use of federal, state, and local funding, please describe how the project will maintain long-term (in excess of CDBG\HOME program requirements) or permanent affordability or public assistance; and describe how the project will provide for affordable housing or public assistance at rates or prices lower than those in the existing market. Our low rents of $435/month/per person which will not change for FY18 as far as we know. We have left in the pre-set formula in the pro forma which indicates a 2% increase in rents each year, but have no plan to raise them yet (substantial rent increases put undue hardship on our client population). Our agency has been running our housing program for nineteen years, so we are experienced and here to stay. Our houses are long-term investments depreciated over thirty years. Because the nature of our agency programming, and because we are not a commercial real estate rental business, we recognize vacancy loss rate, which appears somewhat low, as part of "the cost of doing business," which we are able to cover with billings for services rendered to our clients. Our housing program affords us the opportunity to provide other interventions (Outreach; Day Hab; Transitional Housing; Habilitation Housing) with our mentally ill clients to improve their overall physical health, certainly their mental health and improve the quality of their lives in general. The first element of client recovery is safe and secure, affordable housing, and that which will go the distance, which is evidenced by our long history. 18. In what manner or form will the project proceed if it is awarded less than full funding? If there are several components, howwill they be prioritized? We will review our budget for other sources of cash to go toward the down payment, and stream it toward the new house, if we have other expenses we can shift around. We have a close relationship with our banker at Hills Bank, who may consider funding more of the purchase price if we receive partial HOME funding, and our hands-on board will advise us as well. 19. Please indicate the number of persons that will be served by the proposed project by income category. (Please Note: If this application is funded, the information in this table will be used as income targeting for the CDBG/HOME Agreement). WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ONE HOUSE WITH 5 BEDROOMS. Public Facility 0 - 30% median income persons (a) 31 — 50% median income persons (b) 51 — 60% median income persons (c) 61 - 80% median income persons (d) Over 80% median income persons (e) Total persons (f) Percent LMI (a+b+c+d) + f Housing _5 households (a) households (b) households (c) households (d) households (e) 5 households (f) _ 100% (a+b+c+c + f 20. Please list amount of CDBG and/or HOME funds received within the last four City fiscal years and the status of the project(s) undertaken. NONE (Note: We have been recommended (in March 2017) for two down payments for two houses for FY18, one CDBG and the other HOME, but funding approval by the city has been pushed back and there is uncertainty about 100% funding or even partial funding or when it might be awarded. If these DO come through, we will buy two more houses, in addition to the one we are wanting to buy with this application. Since the funding for these two houses has been pushed back by the city, our timeframe to purchase would necessarily be pushed back too. Which would give us the necessary time to staff up and hire as needed. We are prepared to purchase the house under this application AND the two houses we have already been recommended for, when the City Council approves funding.) 21.

For housing projects, please provide a summary of your organization's portfolio. Include how many rental units you own/manage, how many homes you have built/rehabilitated/sold and what projects are in the pipeline. We own these three houses within the last 12-18 months (we bought and added a 51h bedroom to each of these): 3107 Village Road, Iowa City, IA. This is a Hab Home, five bedrooms, for men. 821 N. Johnson Street, Iowa City, IA. This is a Hab Home, five bedrooms, for men. 1257 Esther Court, Iowa City, IA. This is a Transitional Home, five bedrooms, for men. We have also own these two houses, longer term: 214 Church Street, Iowa City, IA. This is a Hab Home, 8 bedrooms, for women. 416 S. Dodge Street, Iowa City, IA. This is a Transitional House, 9 bedrooms, for women. For many years (approx. 15 years) we owned a huge (20 rooms) Transitional House on Dubuque Street in Iowa City, which we sold to buy other, newer houses, which work much, much for our programming, especially our newer Hab Home programs. This re -structure has enabled our successful expansion allowing us to operate more houses now that we have a more manageable system in place to help all these people. Additionally, we rent administrative premises at 2406 Towncrest Drive, where we also have our Day Hab program which teaches cooking; community exploration; additional socialization skills and other programs. 25. For housing projects, please identify the relevant market factors that will assist the City in verifying the demand for the proposed housing based on the City of Iowa City HOME Market Analysis Policy for New Rental Construction, Rental Rehab. & Acquisition of Existing Homes (rental), or New Owner -Occupied Home Construction & Acquisition of Existing Homes (owner -occupied). If the project is large or complicated, the City may require a Market Analysis to support the project before entering a legally binding agreement for funds. This policy is not applicable to projects requesting funds for tenant based rental assistance, homeowner rehabilitation, down payment assistance and CHDO operating expenses. We are applying only for down payment assistance. And we have a waiting list of people. Again, these are not just people looking for housing: these are people who have a Chronic Mental Illness diagnosis from at least one psychiatrist, and we are uniquely positioned to help them, not just with housing but for service needs. This is why we have a waiting list.

Section 5301, and 24 CFR Part 91.105, as well as 24 CFR Part 5 regarding the City's obligation to affirmatively further fair housing. Section II.

Together, the hearings must address housing and community development needs, development of proposed activities, and review of program performance. To obtain the views of citizens on housing and community development needs, including priority nonhousing community development needs, the citizen participation plan must provide that at least one of these hearings is held before the proposed consolidated plan is published for comment.
