SUBJECT: Setting a Public Hearing for the adoption of the Public Housing Authority
Annual Plan for Federal Fiscal Year 2024
DATE: January 29, 2024
Housing & Community Development Director Alexis Steger is recommending City
Council set a public hearing for April 1,2024, to receive input on the Annual Plan for the
Public Housing Authority prior to submitting the Annual Plan to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each fiscal year. The City of Dubuque is a
Public Housing Authority (PHA).
The FY 2024 Annual Plan includes goals and priorities for the PHA that stem from the 5
Year Annual Plan. This Federal Fiscal Year 2024 focuses on the following: increasing
landlord participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program, decreasing concentrated
areas of poverty, enhanced utilization of program funds in the community, opportunity to
address food deserts, along with and reducing barriers for participants looking to utilize
a voucher in the City, and enhanced equity through processes, outreach, and document
revision.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

RE: Setting a Public Hearing for the adoption of the Public Housing Authority
Annual Plan for Federal Fiscal Year 2024
INTRODUCTION
The City of Dubuque is a Public Housing Authority (PHA) that provides housing
assistance to residents. A PHA is required to submit an Annual Plan to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each fiscal year.
DISCUSSION
The City Council is required to set a public hearing, and then hold the public hearing
prior to approving the Annual Plan before it is submitted to HUD.
The Annual Plan was reviewed by the Housing Commission on January 23, 2024 where
the commission was given the opportunity to review the plan and provide input and
comments.
Additionally, the Resident Advisory Commission comprised of all residents on assisted
housing, must review the proposed plan. This meeting is scheduled to be held in
February 2024.
The FY 2024 Annual Plan includes goals and priorities for the PHA that stem from the 5
Year Annual Plan. This Federal Fiscal Year 2024 focuses on the following: increasing
landlord participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program, decreasing concentrated
areas of poverty, enhanced utilization of program funds in the community, opportunity to
address food deserts, along with and reducing barriers for participants looking to utilize
a voucher in the City, and enhanced equity through processes, outreach, and document
revision.
RECOMMENDATION
I respectfully request the Mayor and City Council set a public hearing for April 1,2024, to
receive input on the Annual Plan for the Public Housing Authority.
