EXHIBIT A
CDBG AND HOME PROGRAM INVESTMENT POLICIES
Economic Development
Economic development projects making application to the CDBG Economic Development Fund
will be reviewed by the Council Economic Development Committee. The Council Economic
Development Committee will make a recommendation to the City Council for each project
proposed for funding. Said recommendation shall include the amount of CDBG assistance to be
allocated and the terms of investment.
Typically, for-profit business projects will receive low-interest loans; whereas, non-profits may be
recommended for forgivable loans or grants. Decisions regarding investment terms for economic
development projects will be made based on the nature of the project including, but not limited to,
the risk, potential for growth, the number of and quality of jobs created for low-moderate income
persons, the ability to repay a loan and the amount of other funding leveraged.
Housing
Rental Housing. Except as noted below, the interest rate for rental housing activities will be zero
percent (0%) for non-profit owned projects and prime rate (determined at the time the
CDBG\HOME agreement is executed by the City) minus two points for for-profit owned projects
with an amortization period up to thirty (30) years or the period of affordability, whichever is less.
Homeownership. Each year Iowa City adopts resale/recapture provisions that apply to all HOME
assisted homebuyer projects. The recapture/resale provisions shall be the same for both CDBG
and HOME assisted homebuyer projects. These provisions are set forth in the Annual Action
Plan for the year the funds were allocated to the Subrecipient/Recipient.
Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA). All HOME funds provided for TBRA will be in the form
of a grant.
Exceptions. The City may grant a different interest rate and/or a different repayment option based
on the nature of the project including, but not limited to, the revenue generated, the ability to repay
a loan, the type of housing provided, the beneficiaries, the amount of other funding leveraged and
the location of the site.
Public Facilities
The City of Iowa City, as the recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds,
utilizes these funds for "public facilities" projects as defined in 24 CFR 570.201 (c) that are
completed by the City and\or subrecipents. The following policy applies to CDBG assistance
provided to non-governmental subrecipients ("governmental" includes only jurisdictions with
taxing authority as provided for in Iowa Code).
DRAFT
Projects that receive an allocation by the City of Iowa City will receive an earned grant, as defined
herein, which will be secured by a mortgage or other comparable security instrument. The
compliance term of the earned grant will be determined by the formula also provided herein. At
the end of the applicable compliance term the lien or other security instrument will be released by
the City. If the real property is leased, the lease shall be for a period that matches or exceeds the
compliance term of the earned grant.
Earned Grant: A lien against the real property being assisted, or other comparable
security, which is repaid only upon transfer of title, rental of the property, or Termination of
services or occupancy as outlined in the applicable CDBG Agreement. If the subrecipient
fully satisfies the terms outlined in the applicable CDBG Agreement the mortgage against
The property, or other security instrument, will be released by the City following the
completion of the compliance period that begins on the date of execution of the mortgage
or security instrument.
Earned Grant Formula: The total amount of CDBG assistance allocated to a
subrecipient in any one City fiscal year fora "public facility".project divided by $10,000
equals the number of CDBG compliance years for The Earned Grant. (For example:
$20,000 in CDBG assistance divided by $10,000 would equal a compliance term of 2 years
or 24 months). If the Earned Grant Formula results in a compliance term of less than one
year (12 months) the minimum compliance term shall be one year (12 months). The
maximum compliance term for any CDBG assistance shall be no more than twenty (20)
years.
Public Service
Public Service projects as defined in 24 CFR 570.201 (e) shall receive CDBG assistance in the
form of a grant with a term of not less than one year.
