This memo transmits a resolution to adopt the FY2026-2030 Consolidated Plan and the FY 2026 Annual Action Plan. BACKGROUND The FY2026-2030 Consolidated Plan and the FY 2026 Annual Action Plan are required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for communities receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. This five-year plan is designed to be a collaborative process to help communities establish a unified vision for housing and community development initiatives. The Consolidated Plan was developed through an extensive community engagement process, which included focus groups with over 60 community partners and residents from diverse organizations, backgrounds, and demographics in the Dubuque community. Additionally, 11 stakeholder interviews and 458 survey responses informed the plan. To guide citizen participation and ensure compliance, staff followed the requirements outlined in 24 CFR 91.100 Subpart B-Citizen Participation and Consultation. Beyond community engagement, the plan was shaped by a comprehensive analysis of data sources, including HUD's Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, local data, a community needs assessment survey, census data, and a study of barriers to fair housing. DISCUSSION The FY2026-2030 Consolidated Plan outlines the city of Dubuque's housing and community development needs and presents strategies to address them. Serving as the City's blueprint for utilizing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, the plan focuses on providing decent, affordable housing, expanding economic opportunities, and fostering a suitable living environment. City staff and partner organizations deliver activities designed to increase affordability, availability and accessibility, and sustainability of resources in the community. As part of this effort, the Page 208 of 2490 Consolidated Plan includes the FY2026 Annual Action Plan, which details specific activities and funding allocations for the first year of the five-year plan. Citizen participation is a crucial part of the Consolidated Plan, ensuring a collaborative process that helps the community establish a unified vision for housing and community development. Throughout the plan's development, residents had multiple opportunities to provide feedback. Both the draft and final versions were made available at various locations across the community, in both physical and digital formats, to encourage public comment. The online documents included a feature for submitting comments directly, while all physical copies featured a cover page with a QR code, making it easy for residents to share their public comments. The Draft FY2026-2030 Consolidated Plan and the FY2026 Annual Action Plan were out for public comment from January 16, 2025-February 16, 2025. The Community Development Advisory Commission held a public hearing on February 19, 2025 for the draft Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. Additionally, the Final FY2026-2030 Consolidated Plan and the Final FY2026 Annual Action Plan were out for public comment from February 20, 2025-March 23, 2025.

On March 26, 2025, CDAC unanimously approved the final Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan and recommended the City Council adopt the final Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. The FY2026-2030 Consolidated Plan includes 5 year Strategic Goals including: • Repair and Rehabilitation of Existing Affordable Housing • Create Neighborhood Youth Services • Provide Inspection and Code Enforcement • Support Community Development and Improvements The identified Priorities are: • Improve Existing Owner-Occupied Structure • Eliminate Lead Based Paint and other Hazards • Accessible Housing Improvements for Special Needs Population • Improve Mobile Home Affordable Housing Stock • Improve Existing Affordable Rental Units • Support Services- Connections for Youth • Maintain Safety through Code Enforcement • Improve Physical Environments FY 2026 Annual Action Plan provides for the use of CDBG funds for the actual entitlement allocation of$1,037,080 and revenues of$94,868 in program income, for a total of $1,131,948.

FY 2026 Annual Action Plan has several programs under Housing Developments including Housing Activities such as Rehab Program, Roof Replacement, and Accessibility improvements.

Introduction Consolidated planning is a collaborative process whereby the City of Dubuque establishes a unified vision for community development actions.The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities who receive funding under the HUD programs to complete a Consolidated Plan.The City of Dubuque is an entitlement city only for Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) funds on an annual basis. The Consolidated Plan integrates economic, physical, environmental, community, and human development data in a comprehensive and coordinated fashion.The Consolidated Plan planning process incorporated broad resident input, identified community needs, and local strengths and assets. From this qualitative and quantitative date,the Consolidated Plan is a coordinated response directly guided by the input, needs, and strengths of the community. The Consolidated Plan is an overall strategic plan that will guide our community for the next five years. From the data and broad resident input,the Consolidated Plan provides a guide to address the identified needs and offers a valuable opportunity to address specific challenges and trends. The Consolidated Plan will guide the work of the Housing& Community Development Department and other city departments for the next five years. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 1 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 214 of 2490 The Consolidated Plan suggests Dubuque continues to exhibit strengths and simultaneously,faces increased challenges and pressures. One such challenge is the need for quality, affordable housing. Housing affordability continues to be the largest housing problem experienced in Dubuque. The aging housing stock also presents issues with deterioration due to neglect, inability to afford repairs, presence of lead-based paints, and high costs associated with rehabilitating historic properties. The Consolidated Plan identified these housing problems that disproportionately impact low, extremely low, renters, elderly and people of color. The city of Dubuque will look to increase quality, safe, affordable housing opportunities and remove barriers for working families and people of color to access these opportunities. The city is addressing barriers to fair housing and taking proactive steps to affirmatively further fair housing. The Consolidated Plan for the City of Dubuque is for a five-year period, from July 1, 2025 (FY 2026)to June 30, 2030 (FY 2030).The City of Dubuque Housing and Community Development Department is the lead agency responsible for the development and administration of the Consolidated Plan.The Community Development Advisory Commission has ongoing review for the planning, implementation and assessment of the CDBG program to ensure citizen involvement in the use of these federal funds. As the entitlement from CDBG continues to decline,the city has found creative solutions to funding gaps by leveraging community resources and creating new opportunities to successfully complete projects. The city focuses on partnerships and collaboration with the public and private sector to continue work that provides opportunity and better quality of life for working families of Dubuque. 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The City of Dubuque distinguishes between four different but complementary areas of program development in its overall CDBG program: Administration, Housing Development, Neighborhood Development, and Public Facilities.Administration ensures management, oversight, coordination, and compliance with federal regulations and reporting requirements. The City of Dubuque will address CDBG goals of affordability, sustainability, and accessibility through the following strategic goals over the five-year consolidated plan period. • Repair and Rehabilitation of Existing Affordable Housing • Create Neighborhood Youth Services • Provide Inspection and Code Enforcement • Support Neighborhood Development and Improvements 3. Evaluation of past performance In previous years, CDBG funds have been used to advance housing, economic development, neighborhood, and community goals.The Community Development Advisory Commission reviews Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 2 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 215 of 2490 performance for housing activities.The Commission evaluates CDBG funded activities for equitable service delivery that affirmatively reaches out to minority populations. The City of Dubuque strives to meet or exceed the goals stated in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.The City continues to obligate and disburse its CDBG funds in a timely manner and proposes to provide 100%overall benefit in FY 2026/PY2025 to low- and moderate-income persons, exceeding the regulatory 70%. CDBG Administrative Staff continue to provide technical assistance and develop monitoring and oversight skills for department staff responsible for administration of CDBG funded activities. 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process Citizen participation drove the Consolidated Plan.The process involved focus groups, stakeholder interviews, a communitywide survey, public meetings/hearings of the Community Development Advisory Commission, and the City Council.

Members of the commission advise on the strategies, use, and effectiveness of activities and programs funded with CDBG and on the plan itself.Those recommendations are forwarded to the City Council for final adoption into the approved plan. Citizens may make public comment on an ongoing basis through the City's website, and drafts with a public comment half cover page are available at the Housing Department, City Hall, Carnegie Stout Public Library and Multicultural Family Center.

According to Housing and Urban Development guidelines, households spending more than 30 percent of income for these housing costs are "cost-burdened". Cost-burdened is an emerging and legacy issue with the City's housing stock. It affects low-and moderate-income persons and working families disproportionally. In addition to being cost burdened, low-and moderate-income persons and working families also encounter potential added cost and health burden of energy-inefficient and/or aging housing. The lack of energy efficiency measures, lack of accessibility, and the persistence of lead paint in the city's aging housing stock create health, economic and equity challenges. These challenges exist in both renter and owner-occupied structures. These challenges exist in both renter and owner-occupied structures. Specifically, placing increasing economic stress on renting households, especially renting households who fall in the 0-30% AMI. Families make up most households in Dubuque. According to 2022 Five-year ACS,there were an estimated 25,198 households in the City of Dubuque. Families made up 56.24%of these households including both married-couple families (42.05%) and male householder, no spouse present(4.5%) and female householder, no spouse present(9.67%). Nonfamily households made up 43.76%of total households. Children are often present in these households. 46%of all households have one or more children under the age of 18 and 20.8%of household with at least one person 62-74 years of age. Additionally, 71%of Dubuque households are 1-2 person households. 67%of owner occupied households are 1-2 person households. 77%of renter occupied households are 1-2 persons households. Household average annual incomes have increased since 2010. Specifically, annual incomes have increased placing more households into the category of earning more than 100,000 dollars per year. In 2010, 11.3%of households earned more than 100,000 dollars per year. However, in 2022, 27.6%of households earned more than 100,000 dollars per year. In 2010, 13%of households earned less than 15,000 dollars a year.That percentage dropped in 2022 to 9.2%of households earning less than 15,000. This indicates that households in the extremely low-income category have decreased. Despite rising incomes, according to 2022 Five-year ACS, households continue to have at least one of four problems: (1) 2.4%of households have incomplete kitchen facilities, (2) 1.4%of households have incomplete plumbing facilities, (3) 1.4%of households have more than 1 person per room (overcrowding), and (4) 27%of households are cost burden greater than 30%. Overall, 15.9%of renters are costs burdened and 11.1%of homeowners are cost burdened.

What are the most common housing problems? Cost Burden is by far the most prevalent problem. Affordability, housing choice, and ensuring healthy homes are all important components of quality housing in Dubuque. Across the stakeholder groups, affordable housing was repeatedly mentioned as a barrier, and the data supports this. The percentage of household income spent for mortgage costs or gross rent, commonly called cost-burden, is by far the most prevalent problem in Dubuque,for owned and rented households alike. Overall overcrowding has decreased slightly, however severe overcrowding has increased significantly (with 1.01-1.5 people per room)to severely overcrowded (with >1.51 people per room). The lack of energy efficiency measures in much of Dubuque's housing stock and the persistence of lead paint in many structures, are a documented health, economic, and equity challenge for the city. Regulations at 24 CFR 91.100 require the plan to include the definitions for"standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation."The City of Dubuque defines Standard Condition as a housing unit that meets the standards set forth in the City of Dubuque Building& Property Maintenance Codes. A housing unit is in substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation if the unit has at least three major systems in need of replacement (HVAC, plumbing, and electrical). Additionally, a housing unit is in substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation if the repair an the estimated cost of making the needed replacements and repairs is less than 75%of the estimated cost of new construction of a comparable unit. Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Cost Burdened 55% of total renters who fall in the 0-30%AMI are cost burdened at greater than 30%. 31%of total renters who fall in the >30-50%AMI are cost burdened at greater than 30%. 50% of the renters who fall into the "Other" Household Types, which includes non-related and non- elderly households, are the most likely to be cost burdened. 36% of total homeowners who fall in the >50-80%AMI are cost burdened at greater than 30%. 32%of total homeowners who fall in the >30-50%AMI are cost burdened at greater than 30%. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 39 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 252 of 2490 41% of the homeowners who fall into the "Elderly" Household Types, which includes households with at least 1 person aged 62 or over, are the most likely to be cost burdened. Severely Cost Burdened 77% of total renters who fall in the 0-30%AMI are severely cost burdened at greater than 50%. 59% of the renters who fall into the "Other" Household Types, which includes non-related and non- elderly households, are the most likely to be severely cost burdened. 68% of total homeowners who fall in 0-30%AMI are severely cost burdened greater than 50%. 43% of homeowners who fall into the "Elderly" Household Types,which includes households with at least 1 person aged 62 or over, are the most likely to be severely cost burdened. Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)).Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance High housing costs, low vacancy rates for affordable housing, and poor-quality housing are most associated with instability and increased risk of homelessness. Single female head of households are more likely to be cost-burdened. Many individuals and families in the City of Dubuque may sleep in temporary arrangements (on the floors or couches of friends and family) due to the high cost burden and low availability of affordable housing. There were 200 children designated as homeless in the local school system at the time of the point in time study and their sleeping and family situation is unknown. HUD also does not consider those who may be frequently moving from on unstable housing situation to another as literally homeless, but many individuals and families in the City of Dubuque may sleep in temporary arrangements (on the floors or couches of friends and family) due to the high cost burden and low availability of affordable housing. Expansion and supporting the availability of rapid re-housing programs and resources has been identified as a need by local service providers. Housing and Community Development staff continue to partner with our community's Coordinated Entry. Coordinated Entry is considered one of the many interventions in a community's united effort to end and prevent homelessness. This process is an established, system-wide process to quickly coordinate access, assessment, prioritization, and referrals Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 40 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 253 of 2490 to housing and services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Coordinated Entry utilizes the Housing Helpline for families who are homeless and/or at risk of homelessness to access services. Coordinated Entry refers to the process used to assess and assist in meeting the housing needs of people at-risk of homelessness and people experiencing homelessness. It allows for a streamlined approach to services and prioritizes those with the highest barriers to housing instead of a "first come, first served" approach. Extremely Low-income and Low-income renters are more likely to be cost burdened. 55%of total renters who fall in the 0-30%AMI are cost burdened at greater than 30%. 31%of total renters who fall in the >30-50%AMI are cost burdened at greater than 30%. Almost half of large-family renters and half of small-family renters with extremely low incomes are cost burdened. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: Dubuque does not provide estimates of the at-risk populations. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness High housing costs, low vacancy rates for affordable housing, and poor-quality housing are most associated with instability and increased risk of homelessness. Single female head of households are more likely to be cost-burdened. Many individuals and families in the City of Dubuque may sleep in temporary arrangements (on the floors or couches of friends and family) due to the high cost burden and low availability of affordable housing. There were 162 children designated as homeless in the local school system at the time of the point in time study and their sleeping and family situation is unknown. Discussion The population in City of Dubuque remained steady increasing slightly from 57,637 persons in 2010 to an estimated 59,315 people in 2022, or by 2.9%. Household income has increased for$100,000 to $149,999 from 11.3% in 2010 to 27.6% in 2022. However, household income for$35,000 to $49,999 decreased from 17.1%to 13.5%.Additionally, household income for$50,000 to$74,999 stayed the same from 19.1%to 19%. Despite rising incomes, according to 2022 5-Year ACS data, households continue to have at least one of four problems: (1) 2.4%of households have incomplete kitchen facilities, (2) 1.4%of households have incomplete plumbing facilities, (3) 1.4%of households have more than 1 person per room (overcrowding), and (4) 27%of households are cost burden greater than 30%. Overall, 15.9%of renters are costs burdened and 11.1%of homeowners are cost burdened. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 41 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 254 of 2490 The percentage of household income spent for mortgage costs or gross rent, commonly called cost- burden, is by far the most prevalent problem in Dubuque, for owned and rented households alike. According to Housing and Urban Development guidelines, households spending more than 30 percent of income for these housing costs are "cost-burdened". Low income renters have a higher percentage of being cost burdened than moderate income homeowners.

Introduction The City of Dubuque continues to make Equity and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing a priority. Fair Housing Training is provided to all direct service staff yearly.Training and development of staff regarding understanding implicit bias is ongoing. Outreach efforts and education materials for landlords to provide equitable access to affordable housing is continuous. Populations that may have increased barriers to affordable housing choice are targeted for outreach.The Housing&Community Development Department has a team dedicated to equitable serves that will focus on policy barriers, structural barriers, and other barriers to affordable housing option for all residents, especially those that have been marginalized. HUD defines a population as having a disproportionate share when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least 10 percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in category as a whole.

Introduction: Cost burden is defined as gross housing costs that range from 30 to 50 percent of gross household income; severe cost burden is defined as gross housing costs that exceed 50 percent of gross household income. For homeowners,gross housing costs include property taxes, insurance, energy payments, water and sewer service, and refuse collection. If the homeowner has a mortgage, the determination also includes principal and interest payments on the mortgage loan. For renters,this figure represents monthly rent and selected electricity and natural gas energy charges.

The small number of minority households make it difficult to make inferences. White households dominate all categories due to their large population size, making up 93.9%of households in the low cost burden category(<=30%), 89.8%of moderately cost-burdened households (30-50%), and 83.6%of severely cost-burdened households (>50%). Black households make up only 3.8%of the total households but represent 12.1% (335 of 2,780) of those with severe cost burdens (>50%) and 4.6% (155 of 3,385) of those with moderate cost burdens (30-50%). American Indian households make up less than 0.5%of the total households, but 100%of this group is cost- burdened, with 50%facing moderate cost burdens and 50%facing severe cost burdens.Asian, Pacific Islander, and Hispanic households generally show lower levels of housing cost burden. However, small Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 51 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 264 of 2490 disparities remain in moderate to severe cost-burden cases,with 8.3%of Asians and 13.3%of Hispanics experiencing severe cost burdens (>50%), and 50%of Pacific Islanders are moderate cost burdened (30- 50%). While the small numbers of the minority group make it difficult to establish disproportionality and cost- burden is such a prevailing issue in the city of Dubuque, all broad strategies to increase the affordability, safety, and accessibility of housing would likely benefit these small minority groups as well as the whole CDBG grantee area. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 52 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 265 of 2490 NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion —91.205(b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? In general, minority populations experience a disproportionately higher percentage of housing problems in all income categories compared to the total population. HUD defines a population as having a disproportionate share when a portion of a population is more than 10 percentage points higher than the jurisdiction average. In Dubuque, minority groups comprise only 7.7%of the total population. The small number of minority households, 6.1%, make it difficult to make inferences of disproportionately greater needs. (2022 Five-Year ACS,Table: CP05) However, while the small numbers make it difficult to establish disproportionality and cost-burden is such a prevailing issue in the city of Dubuque, all broad strategies to increase the affordability, safety, and accessibility of housing would likely benefit these small minority groups as well as the whole CDBG grantee area. If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? A targeted approach to address minority populations, including the small sample sizes of Black or African American,Asian,American Indian or Alaska Native, and Pacific Islander, is warranted as affordability of rental units for these populations is crucial. Cultural and communication issues are a barrier for all minority populations to access affordable housing and the Housing Choice Voucher. However, Housing and Community Development staff is working diligently to remove these barriers as noted in this Consolidated Plan. Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? There are no large concentrations of housing problems by ethnic groups in specific areas. However, there is evidence that cost-burden is disproportionate among Black or African American, other minority groups, and 0-30%AMI. According to CPD maps, Census Tracts 1 and 5 have the highest rates of poverty and are also home to most Black or African American residents. Locally,the downtown area is referred to the as "the Flats". Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 53 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 266 of 2490 NA-35 Public Housing—91.205(b) Introduction The City of Dubuque does not manage any public housing.This section will address Assisted Housing needs, including the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, Project Based Voucher Program, and Special Purpose Vouchers.These programs are restricted to low-income renters with incomes at 50%of area median income or less.The Housing Authority was serving 985 families in the voucher program as of December 1, 2024. In April of 2020,the City of Dubuque was awarded 24 Family Unification Program (FUP)Vouchers. FUP vouchers are reserved for families who face family separation or family reunification delays due to lack of adequate housing, as well as individuals who have aged out of the Foster Care system up to the age of 24.The Department of Health & Human Services make referrals to the City of Dubuque for qualified families and individuals to utilize these vouchers. In the subsequent year,the City of Dubuque acquired 6 VASH vouchers to house Veteran's who struggle with chronic homelessness.The City of Dubuque works with the lowa City Veteran's Medical Center who provide case management to Veteran's and refer them to the City of Dubuque for a VASH voucher.All 6 vouchers were quickly filled and another 6 were awarded in 2022 for a total of 12 VASH Vouchers. In April 2023,the City of Dubuque ended its Mod-Rehab Program. At that time, Mod-Rehab was serving 11 tenants. All 11 tenants were provided with Tenant Protection Vouchers which allowed them to continue to be assisted at their current unit, but also to participate in all the benefits of the Housing Choice Voucher program.

Similarly,the Project Based Voucher(PBV) Waiting List indicates 75%of applicants are considered extremely low-income,while 25%of the applicants are considered very low-income. As of January 2025,the HCV waiting list is currently made up of 160 applicants. Of those applicants, 24 (15%) are disabled.The PBV waiting currently has 12 applicants. Of the applicants, 100%are elderly and a third are disabled.All PBV applicants indicate the need for assistance with daily living activities. Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders The Housing Choice Voucher program is the primary way that the city provides affordable housing, however there are not enough vouchers for all the households in need of affordable housing. As of January 2025,the HCV waiting list was at 160. Housing choice is also an issue with a limited number of landlords accepting housing vouchers, and a subsequent concentration of vouchers in specific areas of town.There continues to be a need to distribute assisted housing/vouchers throughout the city. This coupled with the over representation of Black/African Americans in assisted living programs creates potential issues with neighborhoods segregated on both race and income. How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large Recipients are more likely to be extremely low-income, and/or Black/African American.The Housing Choice Voucher(HCV)Waiting List indicates that 77%of applicants are considered to have extremely low-income and 15% are considered very low-income. Similarly,the Project Based Voucher(PBV) Waiting List indicates 75%of applicants are considered extremely low-income, while 25%of the applicants are considered very low-income. Where the general population is about 4.1% Black/African American, the Housing Choice Voucher program waiting list was 70% Black/African American at latest(January 2025) report. Most people on the HCV waiting lists are singles but 45%are families. For this population and the population at-large there is a need for affordable housing opportunities outside of areas of concentrated poverty.

Community Development and Housing Department staff participate in the local Homeless Advisory Council to remain informed and align priorities and funding to address the needs of residents experiencing or at risk of homelessness.The Community Development Department also partners with the CoC to ensure programming aligns with the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. The local CoC established a Coordinated Entry System which includes a network of service providers offering a range of services for homeless and at-risk of homelessness. The CoC conducts point-in-time homeless counts in January, as required, but also in summer months to identify people who may seek shelter during severe winter weather but are usually unsheltered. In addition to the Coordinated Entry System the City's Police Department recently created a division, Crisis Intervention Team (CIT), due to the uptick in brain health related calls. CIT is tasked with brain health crisis response, follow-up, and training. In addition, CIT coordinates with outreach workers with Community Solutions of Eastern lowa (CSEI), a CoC member, to identify unsheltered individuals and provide access to services. Many of these homeless individuals are chronically homeless and/or have substance/use abuse. CIT and community partners work to keep people with brain health issues out ofjail, in treatment, and on the road to recovery. The City has 5 organizations including Opening Doors (Theresa Shelter- Emergency, Maria House-Transitional), Dubuque Community Y Domestic Violence Shelter, Mary's Inn, St.John's Almost Home, Dubuque Rescue Mission (Emergency, Short Term,Transitional) providing access to emergency and transitional shelter services during the January 2025 point in time homeless count. Some of these organizations serve specific populations, such as pregnant women and victims of domestic violence.The bed capacity for these organizations is 201 and 134 persons were sheltered. The City Purchase of Services Grants provide funding opportunities for organizations meeting identified human services needs in the community. Organizations providing homeless services will continue applying for these resources to meet needs.

However, providers of services report that they have seen recent increases in both individuals dealing with brain health or other disabilities, specifically for chronically homeless individuals but also families and children. The Dubuque Community School District reported 200 children with a homeless designation at the time of the January 2025 PIT study. As for veterans and their families, Dubuque has an active Dubuque County Veteran's Affairs Office that outreaches and provides financial assistance and other services such as a regional organization which supports homeless veterans outside of the city limits. Unaccompanied youth are connected with the City of Dubuque's Family Unification Program (FUP)vouchers which support youth who are in the foster care system.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans. The shelter statistics do not necessarily capture everyone who needs housing assistance. Providers of homeless services and stakeholders have reported many families with children doubling or tripling up. Often,families with children will move from one home to another by staying with friends or family. The number of children who were designated as homeless by the Dubuque Community School District in January 2025 was 200 children. Providers understand this number is underestimated due to the stigma surrounding homelessness and at-risk of homelessness. Families with children could benefit from homeless prevention dollars in order to stay in stable housing instead of losing housing. When families with children lose housing, it forces many to double or triple up and/or constantly move from place to place. Families with children could also end up in a homeless shelter once friends or family are no longer willing to share their housing. Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. According to Institute for Community Alliance,the 2024 County Point in Time count totaled 116 individuals sheltered and 4 unsheltered. Of the 116 individuals sheltered, 32 were Black, 2 Multi-Racial (Non-Hispanic), 5 Multi-Racial & Hispanic and 72 White. Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. The City has 5 organizations providing sheltered homelessness during the January 2025 point in time count. Some of these organizations serve specific populations, such as pregnant women and victims of Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 65 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 278 of 2490 domestic violence. In our community,the CoC member, Community Solutions of Eastern lowa (CSEI), manages Coordinated Entry. Coordinated Entry is considered one of the many interventions in a community's united effort to end and prevent homelessness.This process is an established, system- wide process to quickly coordinate access, assessment, prioritization, and referrals to housing and services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The Housing Helpline is a tool utilized by the coordinated entry for homeless, both unsheltered and sheltered, needing access to services. The Housing Helpline supports the following subgroups. At Risk: As part of the Coordinated Entry, service providers meet weekly to identify individuals on the Housing Helpline who are most at risk of becoming homeless. CSEI utilizes homeless prevention dollars and works closely with service agencies in the Dubuque community such as St. Vincent DePaul, Dubuque County's General Assistance and Hillcrest to provide services, delivery, and referrals for individuals most at risk of becoming homeless. Additionally,the City's competitive purchase of services grant is available to agencies that deliver homeless prevention assistance. Individuals: Demand for beds remains relatively low in the summer months gradually increasing through the fall. Men's emergency shelter beds are reaching capacity in the winter months. Rescue Mission has increased their capacity to provide overflow during winter months and transitional opportunities for men during periods of high need. The shelter statistics do not necessarily capture everyone who is struggling. Providers of homeless services and stakeholders have reported that many others are doubling or tripling in a home or are moving from one home to another staying with friends or family. Families: Opening Doors, specifically,Theresa Shelter and Maria House, Mary's Inn, and the YMCA Domestic Violence Shelter serve women and children including emergency and transitional options. St.John's Almost Home primarily serves men and children. However, St.John's Almost Home has some space available for families, including men, women, and children. Chronically Homeless/Disabled: Service providers continue to stretch limited resources to coordinate shelter for chronically homeless people and people with disabilities. Many residents at the men's emergency shelter are dealing with chronic mental health issues, while others are dealing with an acute problem and struggling to make ends meet financially. Regardless, Permanent Supportive Housing is a huge need in our community for housing homeless individuals with substance abuse, mental illness, HIV/AIDS related illness, or other Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 66 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 279 of 2490 disabilities impacting their ability to maintain housing. Resources for support services, particularly mental health, have long waiting periods and limited beds for emergency treatment. Discussion: In the Dubuque community,there are fewer programs available for people seeking services. According to data collected through the lowa Statewide Needs Assessment,the greatest need in Dubuque is for Permanent Supportive Housing.The lowa Statewide Needs Assessment included system modeling which is a structured, data-informed process to develop estimates of the size and needs of a population of people experiences homelessness and assumption about the types and amounts of assistance that would effectively and equitably meet those needs. The Statewide Needs Assessment monitored these pathways: � Crisis Response programs including prevention, diversion, emergency shelter, and Direct to Housing • Moderate Intensity programs including Emergency Shelter and Rapid Rehousing which is a time- limited subsidy and case management • High Intensity programs including Emergency Shelter and Permanent Supportive Housing which is a long-term subsidy and optional services. Using the Statewide Needs Assessment data for Dubuque, our current system for singles utilizing the Crisis Response programs has more availability than the assessed need. However,for singles utilizing the Moderate Intensity programs,the current system is at 67%capacity compared to the assessed need. High Intensity programs are in a more dire state. For singles, our current system is only reaching 17% of the assessed need.The data show similar trends for families. For families utilizing Crisis Responses programs, the current system has 63%capacity based on the assessed need. For families utilizing the Moderate Intensity programs,the current system is only reaching 15%of the assessed need. Lastly,for families utilizing the High Intensity programs, again,the current system is only reaching 18% of the assessed need.This data shows the High Intensity programs including Emergency Shelter and Permanent Supportive Housing which is a long-term subsidy and optional services is our communities biggest gap. The City of Dubuque will continue to support Rapid Rehousing program. The expansion of permanent supportive housing has been identified as a need by local service providers in addition to the data provided in the Consolidated Plan. Housing and Community Development staff continue to work with the our CoC members to identify trends and needs in our community and create systems and supports to address these identified needs. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 67 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 280 of 2490 NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction: According to HUD, special needs populations are not homeless but require supportive housing, including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. Because individuals in these groups face unique housing challenges and are vulnerable to becoming homeless, a variety of support services are needed in order for them to achieve and maintain a suitable and stable living environment. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: Disability Disability by age is estimated in the 2022 5-year ACS data.The disability rate for females was 12.9%, and 12.84%for males.The disability rate grew precipitously higher with age,with 39.36% of those over 75 experiencing a disability.The number of disabilities by type, as also estimated by the 2022 5-year ACS data; 6.6% have an ambulatory disability, 5.3% have an independent living disability, and 23.2% have a hearing difficulty. Elderly data Age is estimated in the 2022 5-year ACS data.Those 75 years and over represent 9.2%of our community. Domestic Violence The City of Dubuque had 382 Domestic Abuse Offenders from January 1, 2023-December 31, 2023. 74.08%were male, 25.92%were female. What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? Some respondents in the 2024 Housing and Community Development Survey indicated the need for expanded mental health services, childcare, services for abused or neglected children, and services for victims of domestic violence. Services for mental health services Mental health providers report that diminishing resources and rigid funding structures hinder their ability to meet the growing community needs.There's a call for more flexible and increased funding to Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 68 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 281 of 2490 expand services. Additionally,there's a recognized need to increase the availability of prescribing providers to ensure timely access to necessary medications. Improving collaboration and communication among mental health service providers is essential to offer comprehensive and seamless care to individuals. Challenges such as transportation, appointment availability, and awareness of services prevent individuals from accessing mental health care. Efforts to mitigate these barriers are crucial. Lastly, expanding awareness and preventative education efforts in schools and the broader community is necessary to reduce stigma and promote early intervention. Services for Victims of Domestic Violence Immediate access to safe and confidential emergency shelters is crucial for individuals escaping abusive situations. Organizations like Dubuque Y Crisis Services provide such shelters, offering protection and support to victimized individuals and their families. Continuous availability of crisis hotlines and support lines is essential for victims seeking immediate assistance, guidance, and emotional support. The lowa Victim Service Call Center offers such support, providing guidance, resources, and a listening ear to any lowan in need. Navigating the legal system can be daunting for victims. Access to legal advocacy helps individuals obtain protective orders, understand their rights, and receive representation during legal proceedings. Waypoint's Domestic Violence Victim Services Program offers legal advocacy among its services. Beyond emergency shelter, access to transitional and permanent housing solutions is critical for victims rebuilding their lives independently. Friends of the Family offers services to help victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking find safe and secure housing. Additionally,the elderly are much more likely to be disabled, lower income, and in need of accessible affordable housing and services. Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: According to the lowa Department of Public Health, at the end of 2022,the number of new diagnoses reported to the lowa Department of Health and Human Services totaled one hundred and twenty (see chart below),which is 7% higher than the five-year average of 113 diagnoses between 2017 to 2021. In 2022, notable increases in diagnoses were observed among males, men who have sex with men (MSM), and people of Hispanic/Latino origin, for the third year in a row. Dubuque County sits just below the state average of 101 persons per 100,000 population according to the lowa Department of Public Health. If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons.

Preliminary exploration has begun but there may be an opportunity for eligibility or coordination with Community Development Block Grant Programs. • Central Avenue Revitalization Plan Implementation • Construction of 14th Street Railroad Overpass and 16th Street Corridor Complete Streets Improvements: RAISE Grant and Matching Funds • Street Maintenance/Rehabilitation Program • Catfish Creek Sanitary Sewer Project: Old Mill Road Lift Station Project • Chaplain Schmitt Island Development How were these needs determined? Many of these needs were identified through the Imagine Dubuque 2037 comprehensive stakeholder engagement and planning process.These needs are also determined by City Council Goal Setting Sessions. A 2024 CDBG community survey,focus groups, key stakeholder interviews and citizen participation in the Community Development Advisory Commission (CDAC) provided additional updates, ideas and confirmation of these resident driven ideas. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: The City of Dubuque's comprehensive plan includes identification of needs to provide services that enhance the quality of life of the community with an eye on promoting mixed-use development both downtown, and key intersections. These mixed-use areas should provide a variety of residential choices, access to goods and services, and neighborhood amenities like parks and schools within a walkable environment. A 2024 CDBG community survey,focus groups, key stakeholder interviews and citizen participation in the Community Development Advisory Commission (CDAC) provided additional updates, ideas and confirmation of these resident driven ideas. Some of the ideas included: Transportation, Recreation/Parks To support existing and future residents, key recommendations for Public Improvements include: • Central Avenue Revitalization Plan Implementation Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 71 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 284 of 2490 • Construction of 14th Street Railroad Overpass and 16th Street Corridor Complete Streets Improvements: RAISE Grant and Matching Funds • Street Maintenance/Rehabilitation Program • Catfish Creek Sanitary Sewer Project: Old Mill Road Lift Station Project • Chaplain Schmitt Island Development Key resident-driven land use recommendations include: • Promoting mixed-use, walkable, development patterns including residential, commercial, and institutional uses. • Encourage infill development where possible and protect important environmental assets as growth occurs to the west and south. How were these needs determined? Many of these needs were identified through the Imagine Dubuque 2037 comprehensive stakeholder engagement and planning process.These needs are also determined by City Council Goal Setting Sessions.

Food Access- Low Income and Low Access Map Food Access- Low Income and Low Access Map-Text While slightly older data,the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Access Research Atlas map above gives a spatial overview of food access indicators for low-income and other census tracts using different measures of supermarket accessibility.The map shows food access by census tract based on 2019 data (which was then updated July 6, 2023) and the distance one would need to travel to reach a full-service grocery store—the same areas within Dubuque where residents are more likely to live in poverty and rely upon public transit. Figure 32 shows that Tracts 3, 5, and 7.01 within the City of Dubuque have lower levels of food access than other areas in the community.The average person would have to travel at least a mile in order to reach a full-service grocery store.

Together with the Needs Assessment,the Market Analysis provides the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be administered. Based on the data provided,the City of Dubuque expects to focus its entitlement funds on preserving and increasing quality, safe, affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents. In addition,there is a shortage of affordable housing units for low-and moderate-income residents. The housing market analysis provides information on the supply, demand, conditions, and cost of housing for families and households, renters and owners, minorities, elderly, and the disabled. The City of Dubuque developed around industry close to the Mississippi River during the 18th and 19th centuries. Consequently, its core is remarkably historic, with older neighborhoods in and around downtown exhibiting grid street patterns and walkable characteristics. In contrast, Dubuque's West End peripheral neighborhoods are auto oriented, higher income, and newer homes, developed during the mid to late 20th century. Downtown neighborhoods and those surrounding the City's Universities and Colleges provide a wide array of housing types.The historic nature of downtown Dubuque presents significant challenges and opportunities. Close to 75%of housing was built before 1980 and before regulations were in place for lead paint and before energy efficiency measures were standard in housing. The homes are affordable and in established neighborhoods, however it also increases housing issues with deferred maintenance, lead-based paints, inaccessibility, and energy inefficiencies. According the 2022 Five-Year American Community Survey (ACS) • The median house value is$178,000 • Owner-occupied housing rate is 64.7% • Owner costs with mortgage$1,301, without mortgage$598 • Median gross rent at$915 • 87.5%of households have a broadband internet subscription • Median real estate property tax,with mortgage$2,532,without mortgage $2,623 • Unemployment Rate is 5% Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 74 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 287 of 2490 • Average temperature is 27 degrees Fahrenheit in January, 82 degrees Fahrenheit in July Figure 5;MaR of BLaokorAfrioan Amerioa�Alane. f �� x �. , � � yr[�}Jv�v�wc : �I '} p+m - � •iF'a#}q �i � i�ory+ 2� .J _' � ;"L'14lL � -�• � ., . � :. � � �i � r , J 4 . ` � A . �� 3��U�vP: -_ S. .�s��. �c i5!:i�.�i,.:{�..'_�� '�7� - CPD Map of Black and African American CPD Map of Black and African American-Text Black or African American residents of Dubuque are most likely to live in the Downtown, easternmost part of the City in census tracts 1 and 5.

There are many programs addressing affordability and rehabilitation including: Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. Applewood I, a 46-unit apartment complex that has been a Section 42 property, is transitioning to Fair Market Rent as of January 1, 2025. Since the completion of its construction in 1994,this property has had rent and income restrictions, as well as housing seniors only.The 30-year term for Section 42 expired on December 31, 2024, so the owners of this complex will lift the senior-only restriction until December 31, 2026, at which time they will also eliminate the income restrictions. Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? According to 2022 5-year ACS,there were 27,271 housing units in 2022, compared with 25,932 in 2017. Single family units continued to account for 66% of units in 2022.Apartment units accounted for 18.8% in 2022, compared to 15.9% in 2017. According to the 2022 5 Year ACS, "For Rent" units accounted for 34.35%of vacant units, while for sale units accounted for 4.63%.

The real value of single-family building permits decreased from $453,722 to $418,569 in 2022 to 2023.The 2022 ACS data indicated that several hundred units have been added to the housing market in recent years. Since March 2024, over 2,300 lots or units have been proposed for housing development in the City of Dubuque. As of December 31, 2024, 390 units have been completed, including 50 Affordable Family Housing Apartments, 44 Affordable Senior Housing Apartments, and 244 Units at Mount Carmel, which houses the Sisters of Charity.There are 56 Affordable apartments currently under construction, and an additional 245 affordable housing units under review.The remaining�1,600 units will be single-family, duplex, townhouse, and multi-family units offered at market rate. The City of Dubuque does not manage public housing units.The city monitors the number of affordable tax credit units and Section 8 units within the city.The affordable housing stock is not high enough to meet needs of renters and homeowners at or below 80%of the area median income.This is supported by data in the Needs Assessment with more renters earning under 80%Area Median Income are cost Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 91 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 304 of 2490 burdened, meaning they pay more than 30%of their income for housing-related costs.The American Community Survey estimates verify nearly half of all renters experience cost burden. The city promotes CDBG funded programming to voucher participants in efforts to increase awareness and participation in activities. Describe the need for specific types of housing: The city needs all types of affordable housing. The use of mobile homes(700 units) fills a significant gap particularly for elderly populations. Reportedly, mobile homes are necessariy to meet the housing demand. There is also a demand for more accessible or modified housing for both disabled and elderly populations. The increase in development of market-rate housing is projected to relieve the stress on the current affordable housing options by providing an array of housing options and locations for households over 80%AMI to move into. According to the Dubuque Affordable Housing Action Plan created in May 2024, "Households with higher incomes are competing for housing units with households with lower incomes, creating gaps in affordable units for households with lower incomes. [These new units will help] close the gap in affordable housing options." Discussion The Housing Authority adopted Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMR) in 2021 for zip codes 52001, 52002, and 52003.The advantage of SAFMR's is that the PHA can set voucher payment standards that more accurately reflect the rental markets in the area and allows voucher holders better access to low- poverty and/or high-opportunity neighborhoods.The basic range for SAFMR's is 90 to 110%. The City of Dubuque Housing Authority has adopted in their administrative plan that they will set the SAFMR's to 120%when the success rate is fewer than 75%for families who were issued a voucher during the most recent 12 month period, and/or more than 40% of current participants pay more than 30% of their adjusted income as the family share of rent.The City of Dubuque has utilized 120%SAFMR for all zip codes for calendar year 2024 and 2025. The Dubuque Affordable Housing Action Plan was created through collaborative efforts between the City of Dubuque Housing& Community Development Department,the University of lowa School of Planning& Public Affairs,the University of lowa Sustainable Development Program, and the lowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities (IISC), and was published in May 2024. Led by University of lowa students as part of their graduate capstone course,this joint initiative addresses the pressing issue of affordable housing in Dubuque, lowa.

For example, the Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program provides low-interest, long-term loans of up to $25,000 to rehabilitate properties provided by the City of Dubuque Housing and Community Development Department. The Accessibility Improvements Program provides forgivable loans to homeowners to remove architectural barriers and provide modifications to increase physical accessibility. These programs are available to households earning no more than 80% of area median income. Additionally,the Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes Program mitigates lead and other home/health safety hazards by providing forgivable loans to households in need, particularly those with young children who are most vulnerable to environmental hazards.The city aims to assist approximately 100 units within Dubuque city limits using$5,197,053 million of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funding over 48 months. The Healthy Homes Production Grant also addresses concerns with our aging housing stock. The Healthy Homes Program prioritizes the following, damp and mold growth, carbon monoxide and fuel combustion products, electrical hazards, radiation, domestic hygiene, pests and refuse, lighting, and falls.The city aims to assist approximately 95 units within Dubuque city limits using$2 million of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funding. Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards Dubuque's housing stock is older, and, in some cases, safety interventions are necessary. Since 1990,the city has facilitated lead remediation in 1,250 (9%) of 14,413 residential properties built prior to 1978. Most of Dubuque's housing (>75%) was built prior to 1978,when lead paint was no longer allowed for residential use.

Describe the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing units in the jurisdiction: As stated previously, the city does not manage any public housing units. Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in public housing: The city continues to work with a diverse team of city staff, housing advocates, housing providers, and commission members to carryout recommendations and evaluate outcomes.The Housing Choice Voucher program is the primary way that the city improves the living environment of low-and moderate-income families residing in public housing. Additionally, all Housing Choice Voucher participants are invited to join the City's Family Self-Sufficiency(FSS) and Next Level Savings programs. These programs offer unique, person-centered coaching to support the individual's needs. Goal planning, resource coordination,job readiness, and family supports are all provided.The Project Managers regularly visit Family Self-Sufficiency caseworkers and FSS participating families.The programs coordinate resources to help buyers establish bank accounts, Individual Development Accounts (IDA's), homeownership counseling, and resources to purchase a home. Beyond the Housing Choice Voucher program itself, staff continue to evolve and formulate creative strategies for improving the living environment of low-and moderate-income families residing in public housing. For example, City of Dubuque staff update the Vacant Unit Listing on the City's Website weekly (every Tuesday) once property owners notify the City of vacancy. On that same page, other resources are listed that may have units listed to aid in the search for a rental unit. Collect voucher acceptance& vacancy data for every licensed rental property in the city. The City of Dubuque has increased landlord education about the HCV program as well as created a landlord education video to be shared among that specific group to clarify how HCV benefits the entire community. PHA also implemented a new, easier to use software that aids owners and tenants in communication and document transmittal.The City of Dubuque meets monthly with the Landlord Association to further connection and collaboration efforts. FY24 was focused on recruitment of landlord participation through the Successful Property Maintenance Course and through the networking of individuals through the Landlord Association.The city also runs free background checks for landlords Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 103 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 316 of 2490 on prospective tenants for the HCV program. Arrest records were removed from the landlord background checks provided by the city—reviewed in April 2021 to ensure compliance with new forms. The city is still implementing efforts to increase landlord education surrounding the HCV program. A landlord education video was released in Spring of 2022. Despite efforts to promote landlord incentives in 2021,these incentives were not successful in increasing landlord participation. Moving forward,the city focused more on the landlord/PHA communication to ensure those landlords that do participate in the HCV program continue to accept vouchers.The city aims to enhance education and training for landlords through the Successful Property Maintenance course that the PHA presents regarding the HCV Program. The city also is continuing efforts of re-branding the HCV Program, including translating all necessary documents into Spanish and Marshallese to break down communication barriers and allow easier accessibility to programs and information for the entire community. Additionally,the PHA is focusing efforts on translation services and interpreter needs and accessibility. The PHA also assessed & revised HCV general forms for readability and adapted them all to a 6-7th grade level.This includes reducing our applications/forms for unneeded information to make the processes less burdensome on participants. Lastly,the PHA has increased their social media presence to engage the community through education and awareness. City staff are also researching the benefits of offering a tenant education course and other ways to lessen the burden of moving and unit damage. Discussion: The Equity and Human Rights, Housing Department, and Police Department continue to evaluate and monitor participation in the voucher program and collaborate to increase awareness and reporting of Civil Rights violations and housing discrimination.

For both families and the elderly there is lack of affordable and accessible housing for persons with disabilities. As estimated by the 2022 Five-year ACS,the disability rate for females was 12.9%, compared to 12.87%for males. Some 6.6% have an ambulatory disability, 5.3% have an independent living disability,4.7% have a cognitive disability, 3.2% hearing, 2.1%self-care disability, and 1.7%visual. Including the elderly,frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs Many of the persons with disabilities are elderly as well and require accessible, affordable, and safe housing. Per the 2022 Five-year ACS,the disability rate grew precipitously higher with age,with 37.73% of those over 75 experiencing a disability. There are waiting lists for Dubuque's elderly housing complexes. Additional housing units for elderly, populations with disabilities, and special needs are needed in our community. The city's strategy is to leverage partnerships with non-profits and developers and others to develop this type of housing. However, many elderly are homeowners. Per the 2022 Five-year ACS, 33%of homeowners are over the age of 65. Many of these homes are a part of the aging housing stock and our affordable housing stock.

Although total housing units have increased, vacancy rates remain a significant barrier, especially for those seeking affordable housing (housing that a household can pay for while still having money left over for other necessities).Vacant units are scattered throughout Dubuque, with the largest concentrations on the east side and downtown—areas noted in this document for high poverty and racial/ethnic diversity. The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created Section 8 rental assistance programs. Section 8, also referred to as the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program.Tenant-based vouchers are the process by which voucher recipients can find and receive help paying for rental housing on the private market.The city, as the Public Housing Authority, makes monthly housing assistance payments to landlords to help the voucher-holder households pay their rent each month. Participating households pay a minimum of 30%of their adjusted income for rent and utilities. Inadequate federal funding to meet the HCV need negatively affects Dubuque residents too,which is a barrier in itself. Also, a nationwide issue, few landlords in Dubuque are willing to accept vouchers as rental applicants "source of income."In 2015, the City reported just 17%of property owners accepted HCVs; however, this data was found to be an unreliable assumption based on poor data.To obtain accurate data,the City of Dubuque passed an Ordinance January 22, 2019,that requires landlords report if and where they will accept HCVs to receive a rental license. In 2023, 32% landlords accept HCVs. Eighty landlords stated that they would need more information on the HCV program to decide whether they would be for or against it. One concern is that the Housing Choice Voucher Program is still not accepted city-wide. Current locations of HCVs show higher usage in concentrated areas of poverty and older housing stock.The city now requires housing developers to accept HCV participants in conjunction with approval of an affordable housing development agreement related to an urban revitalization plan. The City of Dubuque has also increased landlord education about the HCV program as well as created a landlord education video to be shared among that specific group to clarify how HCV benefits the entire community. PHA also implemented a new, easier to use software that aids owners and tenants in communication and document transmittal.The City of Dubuque meets monthly with the Landlord Association to further connection and collaboration efforts. FY24 was focused on recruitment of landlord participation through the Successful Property Maintenance Course and through the networking of individuals through the Landlord Association.The city also runs free background checks for landlords on prospective tenants for the HCV program.Arrest records were removed from the landlord background checks provided by the city—reviewed in April 2021 to ensure compliance with new forms.

Together with Consultation,the Needs Assessment, and the Market Analysis provides the basis for the strategic plan and the programs and projects to be administered. Based on the data provided, the City of Dubuque expects to focus its entitlement funds on preserving and increasing quality, safe, affordable housing for low-and moderate-income resident and invest in low-and moderate-income neighborhoods.

The economy has diversified and is substantially bolstered by other sectors such as healthcare, education, insurance agencies, and warehousing and distribution, while manufacturingjobs are still a strong sector. Healthcare and Education led the way with 26%of overall jobs in 2022 Five-Year ACS, with manufacturing making up the next 16%, retail trade making up the next 13%, and arts, entertainment and recreation making up the next 9%. Nationally and in Dubuque,the combination of an aging workforce, decreases in workforce numbers, and skills gaps between available work and workers present challenges for all sectors, but is most evident in the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing remains one of Dubuque's major employment sectors.John Deere Dubuque and Hormel represent that estimated 3,360 employees. Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: Integrating the needs of the city's small and mid-size manufacturers into workforce development will be critical to the growth and retention of these smaller firms.The city,the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, and their economic development partners maintain strong relationship with local industries to address their workforce issues, specifically how Dubuque's future workers are prepared for careers in advanced manufacturing and technology. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 122 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 335 of 2490 Retaining and recruiting talent to replace retiring experienced workers remains an important challenge for the community in the next decade. Local public and private sector groups and employers have initiated efforts to address workforce concerns in the community.The issue for Dubuque isn't the demand for but the supply of qualified workers and for wages that keep up the rise in costs of housing and other goods and services. The manufacturing sector continues to be an important sector for the city and is expected to have an ongoing need for workers. Childcare has increasingly become thought of as infrastructure. Greater Dubuque Development Corporation leveraged State of lowa grant to raise private funds to support child care providers county- wide with wage enhancement and capacity expansion efforts. While childcare has grown over the past few years,there is still a need for more affordable childcare and childcare for special needs children and children whose parents work the 2nd or 3rd shift. The 2022 Five-Year ACS data show 32,010 persons in the workforce as compared to 2017 Five-Year ACS data show 31,913 persons. The Greater Dubuque Development Corporation reports the following on its website: As of June 2024, the Dubuque MSA reached an all-time employment level high at 62,200. In May 2023, Dubuque MSA's median hourly earnings per worker is$27.44 compared to the nationwide average of$31.48. Of the MSA's in the region, Dubuque ranks 4th. IOWA MSA's: • lowa City$28.82 • Davenport$28.07 • Cedar Rapids$27.71 • Dubuque $27.44 Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. Established in November 1984, Greater Dubuque Development Corporation is a public/private non- profit partnership formed for the purpose of creating and retaining quality employment within our region while maintaining and enhancing our quality of life for the benefit of all businesses and residents. Our 2022-2027 YOU can be great here campaign is a five-year plan with aggressive goals, clear strategies, and actionable steps aimed at population growth,job creation, increased wages, construction investment, and poverty reduction.Through our three pillars of Workforce Solutions, Business Services, and Strategic Initiatives, we support and grow our business community and their workforce while Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 123 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 336 of 2490 constantly improving our region's quality of life. With the help of regional leaders, businesses, non- profits, educational institutions, and citizens working closely together, we can create a vibrant region of choice that delivers on the promise YOU can be great here. Our region's economic future and delivering on the promise that YOU can be great here will be built on the strength and stability of three critical priorities: WORKFORCE solutions: • Manage resources and facilitate relationships that streamline connections between employers and job seekers • Recruit and retain newcomers through direct programming and targeted marketing strategies. • Connect untapped talent with opportunities for personal and professional growth in the community BUSINESS services • Establish and maintain trusted relationships with business community and public sector to advocate and support regional growth. • Identify and promote opportunities for business relocation and business expansion within the region. • Provide access to labor data and market insights to maximize resources and promote adoption of best practices. STRATEGIC initiatives • Facilitate economic growth by analyzing and cooperatively addressing gaps in community services • Bring the public and private sectors together to secure and utilize diverse resources to deliver on community priorities. • Identify and remove barriers, improve public policy and incentives to empower the private sector and inspire bold development. Additionally, a component of the city's overall Comprehensive Planning process was a look at Dubuque's economic future and how the Dubuque community can translate current opportunities into economic successes for all residents and business interests.This broader market assessment was combined with local market data and public engagement themes to develop a portrait of Dubuque's markets by sector. These sectors include: Commercial Uses, specifically Stores, or Retail, and Office, Housing, Industrial, Higher Education, and Healthcare. The city as a whole has committed in its Imagine Dubuque 2037 plan to diversify Dubuque's economy by retaining, expanding, and growing local businesses; attracting new businesses; maintaining an Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 124 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 337 of 2490 abundance of employment opportunities; and offering top quality-of-life options that create an equitable community where young professionals want to live and raise their families, supporting the availability of a diverse, skilled workforce How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? Dubuque's economic challenges are the same as those faced by communities nationally— how to grow the local economy, and by extension,the city; how to attract the right talent; how to develop the skilled workforce of the future, despite structural full employment; and how to integrate all of this work equitably, efficiently, and inventively. Dubuque has also experienced minimal population growth since the 1980s—how the City attracts talent and increases overall employment will drive future housing demand and additional market-supported housing options. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. Dubuque has the initiatives in place that provide the foundation for achieving economic prosperity. Along side of traditional workforce supports such as a resource center, career counseling, job seeking, placement and other specialized employment services, the City of Dubuque has two major initiatives: Childcare, Opportunity Dubuque, and Housing Needs Assessment, Inclusive Dubuque. • Child Care Analysis: Leveraged State of lowa grant to raise private funds to support child care providers county-wide with wage enhancement and capacity expansion efforts. • Opportunity Dubuque is the Dubuque area's collaboration for workforce training and development: These local training and education programs to aid the region's underemployed have had successes.The first group of 250 trainees through Opportunity Dubuque achieved a 94 percent placement rate. • Housing Needs Assessment • Inclusive Dubuque, a citywide partnership of over 60 groups, also addresses workforce issues and equity, specifically available job quality, career advancement, childcare, and transportation to and from work.

Discussion In the past 35 years, Dubuque has reinvented itself—investing in downtown neighborhoods and capitalizing on place-based differentiators such historic preservation and unique natural resources. Today,the community serves as the employment hub in the tri-state region,with thriving tourism, health care, education, and financial services sectors. Resiliency Key principles of environmental integrity are including in both the City's Imagine Dubuque Comprehensive Plan 2037 and in Sustainable Dubuque. Potential overlapping activities include: � Expanded sustainable stormwater management practices to address flooding prevention � Community Gardens � Youth Eco-education programs � Implementations of watershed plans � Expanding programs to reduce, reuse, and recycle, including composting and building materials. The Dubuque Community Climate Action & Resiliency Plan establishes a goal of 50% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to 2003 levels by the year 2030.The plan identifies contributors to greenhouse gases in Dubuque and sets forth an impact reduction target to achieve the SO%goal. Important to this effort is Dubuque, along with its partners, should regularly update the 50% by 2030 Community Climate Action & Resiliency Plan to stay current on best practices in greenhouse gas mitigation, climate adaptation, and resiliency.

Six Presidential Disaster Declarations, resulting in $70 million in damages, occurred between 1999 and 2011.To address this issue, the City initiated the Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project, a multifaceted approach that incorporates permeable pavement,two upstream retention basins, daylighting of Bee Branch Creek, and resiliency efforts of storm drains. The Bee Branch Healthy Homes initiative has also allotted $8.4 million in forgivable loans to flood-proof 320 flood-prone houses, mitigating mold growth, structural issues, and electrical hazards.A Healthy Home Advocate works with individuals and families to develop a resilience plan for each home.

(include a definition of "concentration") Housing problems(incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities, overcrowding, or cost burden greater than 30%)tend to be concentrated in areas with high rates of poverty. Data confirms this trend when the lowest AMI has the highest percentage of one or more housing problems. Conversely, the highest AMI has the lowest percentage of one or more housing problems. Additionally, as previously stated, of households in the lowest income category(0-30%AMI), more than 80% have one of more housing problems. In our community, census Tract 1 and census Tract 5 has the highest poverty rates.Tract 1 has 25.80%of residents below the poverty level and in Tract 5, 24.10%are below the poverty level.Tract 1 and Tract 5 also have lower median household income.Tract 1 median household income is$48,589 and Tract 5 is$37,952,whereas the city's median household income is $63,520. In addition to having the highest poverty rates,Tract 1 and Tract 5 also have higher population density, more affordable units, low vacancy rates, and an older housing stock. Tract 1 and Tract 5 homes and units may be more affordable because they are also our community's aging housing stock. In Tract 1,there are 1,566 (7.6%of the city total) structures built before 1980. In Tract 5,there are 1,730(8.4%of the city total) structures built before 1980.Tract 5 have the highest number of old buildings compared to other tracts. Homes built before 1980 is an important indicator because homes built before 1979 did not follow lead paint regulations. Both Tract 1 and Tract 5 have a majority of houses built before 1980 (98%and 89% respectively).The age of the home can also increase housing issues including but not limited to deferred maintenance, inaccessibility and energy inefficiencies. Housing problems continue when looking at HUD defined Housing Problems. Cost burden is a significant issue for both Tract 1 and Tract 5. Over half of low-income households in Tract 1 (50.65%) and nearly half in Tract 5 (44.51%)face a severe cost burden, meaning they spend more than 50%of their income on housing. While the situation is slightly better for moderate-income households, a significant portion still struggles with affordability. In Tract 1, 34.39%of moderate-income households experience severe cost burden, compared to 26.74% in Tract 5. The total number of households lacking complete plumbing facilities in City of Dubuque is 344.Tract 5 has the highest concentration of this issue, with 267 households (78%) lacking complete plumbing.Tract 5 also has more owner-occupied households.Therefore, our Rehab Program, an activity identified in this Consolidated Plan, can support Tract 5 with homeowner repair and rehab projects. The total number of households lacking complete kitchen facilities in City of Dubuque is 594. In Tract 5, there are 267 households(45%) are lacking complete kitchen facilities. Again, our Rehab Program can support Tract 5 with homeowner repair and rehab projects. Even though Tract 5 has a smaller number of renters, 25%of the renters in Tract 5 have multiple housing conditions. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 128 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 341 of 2490 Housing problems tend to be concentrated in areas with high rates of poverty. In our community,the areas of high rates of poverty also have higher population density, more affordable units, low vacancy rates, and an older housing stock.The age of housing subsequently brings about more housing problems such as deferred maintenance, lead-based paints, inaccessibility, and energy inefficiencies. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") Geographic analysis of racial distribution was conducted by calculating the percentage share of total population within each census tract of the sub-population; i.e., racial or ethnic group.That share was then plotted on a geographic map. The City of Dubuque has a very small minority population and Black or African American residents make up 4.1 percent of the total population. Tract 1 and Tract 5 have higher numbers of minorities compared to our total population, specifically Black and Pacific Islander.Tract 5 have the highest Black and African American population at 14% and Tract 1 is the third highest at 13%. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? Tract 1 data: • Poverty rate of 24.5% (2022 ACS 5-Year Estimate:Table-S1701) • Unemployment at 6.8% (2022 ACS 5-Year Estimate:Table-52301) • Median Household Income at$48,589 (2022 ACS 5-Year Estimate:Table-S1901) • Median home value for owner-occupied houses$117,500 (2022 ACS 5-Year Estimate:Table- DP04) • 15,66 housing units built before 1980 and 1,222 currently owner occupied (2022 ACS 5-Year Estimate: Table-DP04 and S2504) • Housing Cost Burden at more than 29.06% (CPD Maps) • Low income households with severe house burden 50.65% (CPD Maps) • Moderate Income households with severe house burden 34.39% (CPD Maps) Tract 5 data: • Poverty rate of 24.1% (2022 ACS 5-Year Estimate:Table-S1701) • Unemployment at 25.8% (2022 ACS 5-Year Estimate:Table-S2301) • Median Household Income at$37,952 (2022 ACS 5-Year Estimate:Table-S1901) • Median home value for owner-occupied houses$97,000 (2022 ACS 5-Year Estimate:Table- DP04) • 17,30 housing units built before 1980 and 1,673 currently owner occupied (2022 ACS 5-Year Estimate: Table-DP04 and S2504) • Housing Cost Burden at more than 42.68% (CPD Maps) Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 129 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 342 of 2490 • Low income households with severe house burden 44.51% (CPD Maps) • Moderate Income households with severe house burden 26.74% (CPD Maps) Both these neighborhoods are some of the oldest and most diverse in Dubuque. The neighborhoods are in the center of Dubuque's urban core and borders the Historic Millwork District, Bee Branch, North End District and Downtown. The Washington Neighborhood has many historically significant residential and commercial structures. 86%of the properties were built prior to 1939,with many dating back to the late nineteenth century. Exterior architecture on these older buildings remains fairly intact; however, the age of the housing and commercial stock creates challenges for maintenance and property values. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? Census Tract 1 has several amenities including downtown staples Port of Dubuque, Millwork District, Washington Residential Historic District, Bee Branch Creek Greenway, and Chaplain Schmitt Island.Tract 1 also houses Kerper Boulevard home to several manufacturing companies. Census Tract 5 has additional amenities including Bee Branch Creek Greenway, Comiskey Park and Central Avenue Corridor. Comiskey Park and Central Avenue Corridor are two major projects the city continues to invest in economic development and family,youth, and education projects in addition to supporting housing improvements and neighborhood grants and afterschool programs. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? This area has been the target of considerable rehabilitation efforts and infrastructure improvements. There are multiple efforts targeting the downtown and surrounding areas including CDBG investment. The city has historic homes and areas suitable for new single-family housing development. In addition, Dubuque has multiple strong housing programs available to residents to ensure sustained improvements and investments in housing stock in residential neighborhoods throughout the city. Senior housing units continue to be developed in Dubuque.The City of Dubuque has also committed to using Tax Increment Financing,to incent local housing development.Tax Increment Financing remains the best local financing mechanism to support local economic development,whether in Dubuque, lowa, or elsewhere in the U.S.The use of Tax Increment Financing for potential new housing development can complement the City's current housing programs. Tax Increment Financing has been become essential to compete for much needed development. Housing Tax Increment Financing is used judiciously in Dubuque to benefit both public and private development efforts through the use of tax increment funds in form of rebates for the creation of public infrastructure to facilitate new residential development. In Dubuque, 38.1%of the increment is required by state law to benefit the creation of affordable housing in the city. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 130 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 343 of 2490 Dubuque's comprehensive housing incentives to stabilize or enable rehabilitation of historic residential building stock remain effective, attracting purchasers to Dubuque's historic neighborhoods. Successful multi-family housing developments, particularly in downtown Dubuque, have used Historic Tax Credits and New Markets Tax Credits, in addition to local and state incentives and funding sources.

Access to reliable broadband internet is essential for households in Dubuque, lowa, as it facilitates education, employment opportunities, healthcare access, and social connectivity. However, low-and moderate-income households often face significant barriers to obtaining affordable and dependable internet services. Challenges Faced by Low-and Moderate-Income Households: 1. Financial Constraints:The cost of internet service can be prohibitive for many families, limiting their ability to participate fully in the digital economy. 2. Limited Service Availability: Some neighborhoods may lack adequate broadband infrastructure, resulting in slower speeds or unreliable connections. 3. Digital Literacy:A lack of digital skills can prevent individuals from effectively utilizing online resources, further exacerbating the digital divide. Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction. Enhancing competition among broadband internet service providers (ISPs) in Dubuque, lowa, is crucial for several reasons: 1. Improved Service Quality: Increased competition often leads ISPs to enhance their service offerings, resulting in faster speeds, more reliable connections, and better customer support. For instance, in markets with multiple providers, companies are incentivized to invest in infrastructure upgrades to attract and retain customers. 2. Lower Prices: When multiple ISPs operate in the same area,the competitive pressure can lead to more affordable pricing plans, making high-speed internet access more attainable for a broader range of residents.This is particularly beneficial for low-and moderate-income households. 3. Innovation and Diverse Offerings: Competition encourages ISPs to innovate, offering diverse services and packages tailored to different consumer needs.This can include flexible data plans, bundled services, and value-added features that enhance the user experience. 4. Enhanced Customer Service: Providers in competitive markets are more likely to prioritize customer satisfaction, leading to improved support services and responsiveness to consumer concerns.This focus on quality service can significantly enhance the overall user experience. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 132 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 345 of 2490 In Dubuque, residents have access to several ISPs, including Mediacom, CenturyLink, ImOn Communications, and Comelec Internet Services. Despite the presence of multiple providers, certain areas and demographics in Dubuque may still experience limited options or face barriers to accessing high-quality, affordable internet services.Therefore,fostering increased competition remains essential to ensure that all residents can benefit from improved services, lower costs, and greater innovation in broadband offerings. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 133 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 346 of 2490 MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3) Describe the jurisdiction's increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change. The climate in City of Dubuque has already changed. From 1980 through 2018,the City has experienced an increase in annual average temperature, an increase in the number of days above 95 degrees, an increase in the number of heavy rain events, and a decrease in the number of days below 32 degrees. Some of the most significant changes in the climate relate to variability. Climate variability can be seen in the changes in annual precipitation for Dubuque. Overall annual precipitation has increased, however, this increase is not evenly distributed throughout the year. Spring and Fall precipitation have increased up to 25%,while Summer and Winter precipitation have decreased 3-6%. (Sources: US Climate Resilience Toolkit, High Plains Regional Climate Center, US NOAA, Union of Concerned Scientists) These are the primary issues for the Midwest, including Dubuque. • Impacts to Agriculture: Increases will continue in growing seasons, likely boosting some crop yields. Increases in extreme weather, number of very-hot days, flooding, and days without precipitation will likely decrease other yields. Overall, Midwest productivity is expected to decrease through the century. • Forest Composition: Rising air and soil temperatures,and variability in soil moisture will stress tree species. Forest compositions will change as habitats are driven Northward by as much as 300 miles. Due to these ecosystem disruptions,the region's forests may cease acting as a carbon sink, exacerbating greenhouse gas emission impacts. • Public Health Risks: Increases incident rate of days over 95 degrees, and humidity are anticipated to contribute to degradations in air and water quality. Each of these will increase public health risk, especially for at-risk populations. • Increased Rainfall and Flooding: The frequency and size of extreme rainfall events and flooding has increased over the last century. In addition, the number of days without precipitation have increased.These trends are expected to continue, causing erosion, declining water quality, and impacts on human health, and infrastructure. The City's climate is anticipated to continue to warm through this century. Precipitation is anticipated to increase in Spring and Fall while remaining the same or decreasing in the Summer and Winter seasons. The primary changes to climate characteristics for the City include: • Warmer annual average temperatures with a more significant warming in winter months. • Increase in extreme heat days. • Increase in heavy rain fall events,with increase in flood potential. • Increase in time between precipitation with increase in drought potential. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 134 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 347 of 2490 • Greater variability in temperature and precipitation trends. Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low-and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods. According to the City of Dubuque's Climate and Vulnerability Assessment, children, older adults, and people with disabilities are vulnerable to health impacts associated with climate change and weather extremes.The potential climate change related health impacts are rising temperatures, heat waves, increased risk of more intense floods, droughts, and wildfire; degraded air quality; exposure to infection diseases; and other climate-related hazards. Individuals and families living under economic stress, defined here as"low income" individuals (200% poverty level), are frequently the most adaptive demographic group in our communities.Those living under economic stress exhibit ongoing adaptation capabilities simply navigating day-to-day challenges with less than needed resources.This adaptive capacity, however, is overwhelmed in times of emergency as lack of sufficient economic resources greatly reduce the range of options available in response to crisis. For those in poverty,weather-related disasters or family members falling ill can facilitate crippling economic shocks. With limited economic adaptive capacity,this portion of our population is especially vulnerable to every projected climate impact. Frequently the most effective measures in avoiding extreme heat such as efficiently functioning air conditioning or high performing building enclosures are simply not available to those in poverty while many work in outdoor or industrial jobs which are particularly vulnerable to climate conditions. Diseases which may result from exposure to vector-borne,water-borne, and air- borne pathways may go untreated due to lack of inedical access or ability to pay and may increase the level of economic stress due to missed work days or even loss of employment.Those living under economic stress usually carry a heavy housing cost burden, including higher utility costs.This burden can be exacerbated from damaged sustained by their home in extreme weather or flooding events. Those in economic stress are also frequently food insecure. In lowa, food insecurity affects 1 in 9 people. Many of the projected climate change impacts are likely to effect agricultural production and distribution,which in turn, may cause spikes in food costs and increase food and nutrition insecurity among those in economic stress. Individuals experiencing economic stress, defined as those at 200% poverty level (the common definition of"Low Income") are particularly sensitive to the following Climate Risks: extreme weather/temperature, floods, air quality,vector-borne diseases, food insecurity,water quality, and waterborne.

All needs and goals were identified through the context of eligible uses of HUD funding.The City will use its available CDBG resources to fund activities that will achieve the goals identified in the plan and address the priority needs identified by the public as funding allows. The City of Dubuque expects to focus its entitlement funds on preserving and increasing quality,safe, affordable housing for working families. The city is already investing in its affordable housing stock and, along with the federal and state agencies,to support owner-occupants seeking to repair and rehab their properties.The following actions can help ensure that Dubuque's affordable housing stock and neighborhoods are viable, livable, and equitable well into the future. CDBG funds will be used for eligible housing activities, such as homeowner repair and rehabilitation, lead hazard reduction, manufactured homes rehab and reconstruction, roof replacement, rental rehabilitation, accessibility improvements, and rehabilitation services and staff costs.

Most of the waiting list for the voucher program are extremely low income and cost burdened. As shown by the previous sections, the demand for rental units has increased and is expected to increase throughout the course of this plan as the number of cost- burdened families and individuals continues to grow. TBRA for Non- This population is already cost-burdened, and the availability of accessible Homeless Special housing is scarce. The Non-Homeless Special Needs populations within the city Needs have a variety of housing needs. The increase in demand for rentals places an especially high need for affordable and available special need populations within the state--particularly where physical accessibility needs exist. New Unit The city utilizes tax rebates, abatements, land donations, and direct financial Production assistance to provide resources developers need to produce financially feasible projects. Effective relationships with developers of affordable housing, potential buyers of at-risk housing, advocacy groups, lenders, community groups, and education about how to maintain existing affordable housing helps ensure the number of affordable units is maintained. Rehabilitation Dubuque has some of the oldest housing stock in lowa with 80% being built before 1980, putting it at greater risk for lead based paint hazards. Based on data and feedback from stakeholders,there is a great demand for rental unit rehabilitation to ensure existing housing stock is safe and remains affordable and remains in the market as demand increases. Acquisition, The city uses several strategies for acquisition, including preservation. The City of including Dubuque purchases homes that are in poor condition or acquires them via preservation petitioning the Court for Title of an Abandoned Property.The properties are then rehabilitated and sold to low-mod income households.The city also has a partnership with the Affordable Housing Network, Inc.to rehabilitate single family homes to sell to low-and moderate-income families.The city would help with the acquisition of land for development when opportunities arise.

The city's Urban Renewal Plan designates Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts that provide aid related to housing and residential development when a portion of the increment generated is dedicated to housing assistance for low-and moderate-income family housing. Non-profit developers use TIF resources set aside for low-and moderate-income housing to fill financing gaps often associated with the rehabilitation of historic housing. Other development funding can be obtained through application for private and public sources that include local tax incentives and funding, federal and state low-income and historic tax credits, and private sources. The city supports housing developers applying for other sources of funding when their projects align with the city's goals and priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan. Tax abatement and local resources to incentivize new rental unit development allow housing developers to show local support and increase the financial feasibility and competitiveness when applying for scarce affordable housing resources.

All Housing Choice Voucher participants are invited to join the City's Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) and Next Level Savings programs.These programs offer unique, person-centered coaching to support the individual's needs. Goal planning, resource coordination,job readiness, and family supports are all provided.The Project Managers regularly visit Family Self-Sufficiency caseworkers and FSS participating families.The programs coordinate resources to help buyers establish bank accounts, Individual Development Accounts (IDA's), homeownership counseling, and resources to purchase a home. Activities to Increase Resident Involvements The City of Dubuque Housing and Community Development Department does support resident involvement in its voucher program through a resident advisory board. The board meets monthly and advises on relevant issues. Is the public housing agency designated as troubled under 24 CFR part 902? No Plan to remove the `troubled' designation The agency is not designated as troubled. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 153 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 366 of 2490 SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing —91.215(h) Barriers to Affordable Housing Since 2019, Dubuque's total housing units have increased from 23,620 to 25,198 in 2022, adding 1,578 units. Although total housing units have increased, vacancy rates remain a significant barrier, especially for those seeking affordable housing (housing that a household can pay for while still having money left over for other necessities).Vacant units are scattered throughout Dubuque, with the largest concentrations on the east side and downtown—areas noted in this document for high poverty and racial/ethnic diversity. The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created Section 8 rental assistance programs. Section 8, also referred to as the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program.Tenant-based vouchers are the process by which voucher recipients can find and receive help paying for rental housing on the private market.The city, as the Public Housing Authority, makes monthly housing assistance payments to landlords to help the voucher-holder households pay their rent each month. Participating households pay a minimum of 30%of their adjusted income for rent and utilities. Inadequate federal funding to meet the HCV need negatively affects Dubuque residents too,which is a barrier in itself. Also, a nationwide issue, few landlords in Dubuque are willing to accept vouchers as rental applicants "source of income."In 2015, the City reported just 17%of property owners accepted HCVs; however, this data was found to be an unreliable assumption based on poor data.To obtain accurate data,the City of Dubuque passed an Ordinance January 22, 2019, that requires landlords report if and where they will accept HCVs to receive a rental license. In 2023, 32% landlords accept HCVs. Eighty landlords stated that they would need more information on the HCV program to decide whether they would be for or against it. One concern is that the Housing Choice Voucher Program is still not accepted city-wide. Current locations of HCVs show higher usage in concentrated areas of poverty and older housing stock.The city now requires housing developers to accept HCV participants in conjunction with approval of an affordable housing development agreement related to an urban revitalization plan. The City of Dubuque has also increased landlord education about the HCV program as well as created a landlord education video to be shared among that specific group to clarify how HCV benefits the entire community. PHA also implemented a new, easier to use software that aids owners and tenants in communication and document transmittal.The City of Dubuque meets monthly with the Landlord Association to further connection and collaboration efforts. FY24 was focused on recruitment of landlord participation through the Successful Property Maintenance Course and through the networking of individuals through the Landlord Association.The city also runs free background checks for landlords on prospective tenants for the HCV program.Arrest records were removed from the landlord background checks provided by the city—reviewed in April 2021 to ensure compliance with new forms. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 154 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 367 of 2490 Within the City of Dubuque Housing and Community Development Department, the Housing Choice Voucher Program, will continue its efforts to address barriers which included: • Maximizing voucher lease ups for five years • Maintaining a monthly accounting of the voucher waiting list including information on applications received, rejected and accepted, and applicant information on race ethnicity, and current or originating address. • Utilizing future funding to target minority groups who have been adversely impacted in the past. Additionally,the City of Dubuque's Housing and Community Development Department offers programs beyond the Housing Choice Voucher to remove barriers to affordable housing. Some of these programs include the home improvement programs which provide loans for low-and moderate-income homeowners. These home improvement programs provide necessary repairs and rehabs for the existing affordable housing stock in Dubuque. These initiatives aim to enhance housing accessibility and affordability for residents. The City of Dubuque Housing& Community Development Department also utilizes Urban Revitalization Program which targets older neighborhoods in the city through incentives such as property tax exemptions that can go towards new improvements. Owners within designated Urban Revitalization districts are eligible to receive a 10-year exemption from property tax liability that would normally be associated with improvements. The City of Dubuque's Planning Department is also removing barriers to affordable housing by currently updating the Unified Development Code.This update will be crucial to ensuring that zoning and land use regulations support the needs of the community, promote equitable access to development opportunities, and continue to address the specific needs of underserved populations as identified in the CDBG program. The city cannot do this work alone. The City of Dubuque has engaged several partners along the way to remove barriers to affordable housing. In collaboration with the lowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities, Dubuque created the Development of an Affordable Housing Action Plan. This plan is a comprehensive action plan focused on affordable housing.This plan aims to consolidate existing housing data, engage community stakeholders, and outline actionable steps to be implemented over the next five years. Key objectives include alleviating housing cost burdens for low and moderate-income residents, maximizing land use for diverse housing options, and promoting environmental sustainability in housing developments. Further partnerships include leveraging various state and federal programs to enhance affordable housing. For instance,the city has been designated as an lowa Finance Authority Thriving Community, providing bonus points for obtaining workforce housing tax credits in specific areas like the Central Avenue corridor.Additionally, programs administered by the lowa Economic Development Authority Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 155 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 368 of 2490 and the lowa Finance Authority offer resources such as mortgage or down payment assistance and rental programs to support affordable housing initiatives. Locally,the city partners with nonprofit entities like Catholic Charities and Affordable Housing Network, INC. which contribute to affordable housing by owning and managing properties for families,seniors, and adults with disabilities in Dubuque and surrounding areas.These organizations play a crucial role in providing safe and affordable housing options for vulnerable populations Through these multifaceted strategies, Dubuque is actively working to remove or ameliorate barriers to affordable housing, striving to create a more inclusive and accessible community for all residents.

Community Solutions of Eastern lowa (CSEI) leads the coordinated entry, street outreach, and Housing Helpline for homeless individuals and individuals at risk of becoming homeless. The Community Development Specialist supports local Continuum of Care applicants with implementing programs consistent with the identified need in the Consolidated Plan. Staff from Housing&Community Development attend coordinated entry meetings to assist in identifying and responding to the needs of homeless persons. Over 50 individuals make up the Homeless Advisory Council (HAC). The Community Development Specialist is on HAC and works with partners to streamline and coordinate services and resources to meet the needs of homeless and individuals at risk of becoming homeless. Some of the partners on HAC are non-profit organizations providing homeless services including but not limited to referrals, outreach, point-in-time count, coordinated entry, emergency&transitional shelter, rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing. Other organizations provide family self-sufficiency, advocacy, employment, employment services&job training, substance abuse services, health, wellness, domestic violence, sexual assault, mental health and dental services are available, as well as representation from the City of Dubuque Police Department, Housing Authority, and Dubuque County Commission of Veteran's affairs. The Community Solutions of Eastern lowa (CSEI) conducts point-in-time homeless counts in July and January to evaluate capacity and need for services. Hillcrest Family Services provides outreach, in partnership with other organizations, coordinating access for unsheltered people. The city's Purchase of Services Grants provide funding opportunities for organizations meeting identified human services needs in the community. Organizations providing homeless services will continue applying for these resources to meet needs. Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The city had 5 organizations providing access to emergency and transitional shelter services during the January 2025 point in time homeless count. Some of these organizations serve specific populations, such as pregnant women and victims of domestic violence.The bed capacity for these organizations is 167 and 116 persons were sheltered on that day In our community, the biggest gap in services is for Permanent Supportive Programs. The next largest gap is for Rapid Rehousing Programs. Our community has worked to close the gap regarding emergency shelter beds for men,women, and families. Homeless outreach, emergency,transitional, permanent, and support services are coordinated with local providers. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 157 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 370 of 2490 Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families,families with children,veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness,facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. The local CoC established a Coordinated Entry System which includes a network of service providers offering a range of services for homeless and at-risk of homelessness. The CoC conducts point-in-time homeless counts in January, as required, but also in summer months to identify people who may seek shelter during severe winter weather but are usually unsheltered. In addition to the Coordinated Entry System the City's Police Department recently created a division, Crisis Intervention Team (CIT), due to the uptick in brain health related calls. CIT is tasked with brain health crisis response,follow-up, and training. In addition, CIT coordinates with outreach workers with Community Solutions of Eastern lowa (CSEI), a CoC member,to identify unsheltered individuals and provide access to services. Many of these homeless individuals are chronically homeless and/or have substance/use abuse. CIT and community partners work to keep people with brain health issues out of jail, in treatment, and on the road to recovery. The city's Purchase of Services Grants provide funding opportunities for organizations meeting identified human services needs in the community. Organizations providing homeless services will continue applying for these resources to meet needs. Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs The City of Dubuque and State of lowa require publicly funded institutions and facilities to have discharge plans that include adequate and stable housing; however,the follow-up on those plans is difficult in many situations.The local CoC established a Coordinated Entry System which includes a network of service providers offering a range of services for homeless and at-risk of homelessness. The CoC conducts point-in-time homeless counts in January, as required, but also in summer months to identify people who may seek shelter during severe winter weather but are usually unsheltered.

To do this,the city utilizes the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, along with local amendments,to promote sound safety and quality property maintenance. The city of Dubuque also has a robust rehab program to offer residents. All CDBG funded rehab activities use the required level of lead assessment when performing rehab on homes. Homeowners and renters are provided information and resources about lead and lead poisoning, as well as information on where and when children should be tested. Code enforcement activities identify visible hazards from peeling paint and housing code to ensure the health and wellbeing of children living in these units. Dubuque has been fortunate to have the Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes Program since the 1990s. The Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes Program allocates money to households in need, particularly those with young children who are most vulnerable to environmental hazards. In 2024,the City received $5.2 million in Lead Hazard Control funds to remediate lead hazards in 100 housing units over the next 48 months.The grant provides opportunity for outreach, education about lead safety hazards, remediation, and training.The program secured funding to train and certify lead contractors.The Lead and Healthy Homes Program effectively delivers successful lead remediation activities for income eligible households.The grant provides additional funds to address health and safety hazards in the home, and coordinates with a Home Advocate to build social capacity for participating families. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Since 1994, the Lead Hazard Control Program has and continues to coordinate with the Health Department's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) in conjunction with the lowa Department of Public Health's (IDPH) statewide strategic plan to reduce childhood lead poisoning; focusing on primary prevention, coordinating the delivery of services, and ensuring secondary prevention services are provided through: Blood lead testing of children between 12 and 35 months of age, ensuring that all children under the age of six years receive blood lead testing according to IDPH protocol, Confirmation rates for blood lead levels greater than or equal to 10 µg/dL, Awareness of housing-based primary prevention measures and providing environmental investigations and case management to families with lead poisoned children, Coordination and collaboration between public health agencies, child service agencies, and community-based organizations serving children, including medical case management of lead poisoned children, Education, outreach, and training on primary prevention strategies, and exposures related to housing and occupational lead.This partnership is facilitated through our relationship with the Health Department.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? Housing and Community Development proposed that property owners participating the Lead & Healthy Homes program be required, for the term of the forgivable loan,for any funded unit,to give preference to low to moderate income families, being defined as below 80%area Median Income, and accept HCVs if the prospective tenant is otherwise qualified.

The mission of the Office of Shared Prosperity and Neighborhood Support is, "Through strategic partnership and collaboration, the Office of Shared Prosperity and Neighborhood Support will address, prevent and reduce poverty". Their Vision Statement is, "An accessible city of equitable opportunities for all residents and neighborhoods to prosper". The approach includes identifying the poverty determinants including Economic Insecurity, Lack of Transportation, Lack of Education &Skills, Physical & Brain Health Conditions, Food Insecurity, Racial Inequity, Bias Towards Poor, Lack of Affordable/Safe Housing& Neighborhoods, Lack of Childcare & Early Learning and Generational &Situational Poverty. While looking at all these poverty determinants,the Office of Shared Prosperity and Neighborhood Support will inform others of data and promising practices to measure and accelerate collective impact. Facilitate collaboration and convene to address poverty, racial equity, and socioeconomic opportunity. Initiate new partnerships and nurture existing ones to advance prosperity. Invest in initiatives that address poverty and enhance neighborhoods. A core goal of the Equitable Poverty Prevention Plan is self-sufficiency for all individuals and families in Dubuque.The city partners with a number of providers and leads several initiatives to support residents in achieving self-sufficiency, including: Increasing Income • Opportunity Dubuque • Family Self-Sufficiency • Fountain of Youth • Dream Center • Small Business Development Program • Employment and Empowerment Expo Building Savings • Work with local financial institutions to set up Individual Development Accounts • Promote Bank On Dubuque to increase financial literacy • Promote the Family Self Sufficiency Program and the escrowed savings account Acquiring Assets • Provide direct homeownership assistance to homebuyers Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 162 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 375 of 2490 Other • City Life • Neighborhood Associations • Re-Engage Dubuque How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan Multiple stakeholder focus groups, interviews, and surveys were coordinated to discuss housing and community development issues in the context of poverty, and poverty in the context of affordable housing, or lack thereof. Many people seeking affordable housing face a wide range of additional obstacles in achieving self-sufficiency(transportation,food access, education) and many people receiving services to address poverty face housing challenges. Efforts included in the Equitable Poverty Prevention Plan will incorporate housing, alongside various wraparound services, to comprehensively address barriers to self-sufficiency. All community feedback that has been collected so far has been incorporated into the Consolidated Plan. As work on the Equitable Poverty Prevention Plan is completed,the city will assess alignment opportunities and areas of leveraged funding.

Furthermore, presentations, updates, and status reports are presented at Commission meetings as requested throughout the program year. Agencies allocated funding from the City of Dubuque submit progress reports toward meeting stated goals and objectives for their program on a monthly or quarterly basis.The specific reporting periods were established according to the federal program requirements and the fiscal year of the funding sources. Subrecipients receiving CDBG funds are monitored annually for contract compliance with all regulations governing their administrative,financial and programmatic operations and to ensure performance objectives within schedule and budget.Timely expenditure of funds is reviewed on a continual basis to ensure compliance with program regulations. The city identified performance measures on progress to increase participation in the HCV program. These metrics are indicative of progress toward the outcomes of providing affordable housing, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, and increasing participation in the HCV program. The voluntary nature of reporting from landlords has made collecting some information reliably and consistently difficult and there is a current effort to review the indicators identify strategies to gather additional or missing data. • Voucher Lease up Rate • Assisted Units by Census Tract • New Affordable Units Created • Location of Assisted Vacant Units • Rent Reasonableness • Analysis of essential services across the community Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 164 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 377 of 2490 Expected Resources AP-15 Expected Resources —91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction The city combines public and private funding to carryout affordable housing activities described in the Plan. The city's Urban Renewal Plan designates Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts that provide aid related to housing and residential development when a portion of the increment generated is dedicated to housing assistance for low-and moderate-income family housing. Non-profit developers use TIF resources set aside for low-and moderate-income housing to fill financing gaps often associated with the rehabilitation of historic housing. Other development funding can be obtained through application for private and public sources that include local tax incentives and funding, federal and state low-income and historic tax credits, and private sources. The city supports housing developers applying for other sources of funding when their projects align with the city's goals and priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan. Tax abatement and local resources to incentivize new rental unit development allow housing developers to show local support and increase the financial feasibility and competitiveness when applying for scarce affordable housing resources.

Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds City Wide 87 Low/Moderate Area Benefit 13 Table 57-Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The city is considerate of the location of services and evaluates equitable distribution of resources to serve families in need across the community.The goal of providing services in low-and moderate- income areas is to ensure populations with fewer financial,transportation, recreation, and other resources can enjoy the quality of life associated with these activities. Resources for housing are intended to bring about positive outcomes and opportunity for residents who have historically been underserved. Whenever possible, programs are delivered in ways to promote housing choice and access areas and neighborhoods close to resources families need and use. Currently, the city does not have designated target areas for block grant funds. Discussion Block groups that have more than 51% low-and moderate-income residents are an area of focus for funding, but funding is not exclusive to those areas based on the city's goals to provide affordable housing options across all census tracts in the city and encourage diversity in neighborhoods across the city and location choices for affordable housing.

Affordable housing options continue to be limited within the city, and often restricted to certain geographic areas. The city's goals to increase income diversity in neighborhoods has a need for additional funding and programming designed to support these efforts. The production of Housing TIF to serve this purpose was created by the City of Dubuque, and it currently being used to rehabilitate homes that are affordable and sell them to low-and moderate-income residents.

The city will use CDBG funds to identify and improve the existing affordable housing stock in Dubuque and maintain the current affordable housing stock. Potential activities to meet this goal include homeowner rehab, lead paint hazard remediation, manufactured home rehab and repair, rental rehab, accessible improvements, and purchase, rehab, resale. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 179 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 392 of 2490 AP-60 Public Housing — 91.220(h) Introduction The City of Dubuque does not manage any public housing.The city uses the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, Project Based Voucher Program, and Special Purpose Vouchers to provide affordable housing options. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The city continues to work with a diverse team of city staff, housing advocates, housing providers, and commission members to carryout recommendations and evaluate outcomes.The Housing Choice Voucher program is the primary way that the city improves the living environment of low-and moderate-income families residing in public housing. Additionally, all Housing Choice Voucher participants are invited to join the City's Family Self-Sufficiency(FSS) and Next Level Savings programs. These programs offer unique, person-centered coaching to support the individual's needs. Goal planning, resource coordination,job readiness, and family supports are all provided.The Project Managers regularly visit Family Self-Sufficiency caseworkers and FSS participating families.The programs coordinate resources to help buyers establish bank accounts, Individual Development Accounts (IDA's), homeownership counseling, and resources to purchase a home. Beyond the Housing Choice Voucher program itself, staff continue to evolve and formulate creative strategies for improving the living environment of low-and moderate-income families residing in public housing. For example, City of Dubuque staff update the Vacant Unit Listing on the City's Website weekly (every Tuesday) once property owners notify the City of vacancy. On that same page, other resources are listed that may have units listed to aid in the search for a rental unit. Collect voucher acceptance& vacancy data for every licensed rental property in the city. The city is still implementing efforts to increase landlord education surrounding the HCV program. A landlord education video was released in Spring of 2022. Despite efforts to promote landlord incentives in 2021,these incentives were not successful in increasing landlord participation. Moving forward,the city focused more on the landlord/PHA communication to ensure those landlords that do participate in the HCV program continue to accept vouchers.The city aims to enhance education and training for landlords through the Successful Property Maintenance course that the PHA presents regarding the HCV Program. The city also is continuing efforts of re-branding the HCV Program, including translating all necessary documents into Spanish and Marshallese to break down communication barriers and allow easier accessibility to programs and information for the entire community. Additionally,the PHA is focusing efforts on translation services and interpreter needs and accessibility. The PHA also assessed & revised HCV general forms for readability and adapted them all to a 6-7th grade level.This includes reducing our applications/forms for unneeded information to make the processes less burdensome on participants. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 180 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 393 of 2490 Lastly,the PHA has increased their social media presence to engage the community through education and awareness. City staff are also researching the benefits of offering a tenant education course and other ways to lessen the burden of moving and unit damage. The Equity and Human Rights, Housing Department, and Police Department continue to evaluate and monitor participation in the voucher program and collaborate to increase awareness and reporting of Civil Rights violations and housing discrimination. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership The Housing and Community Development Department employs multiple strategies to promote homeownership opportunities to voucher participants.The PHA Plan was amended to remove the year- long employment history required to utilize the Authorities Homeownership Voucher Program. Participants that demonstrate enough income and financing can transition to homeownership as soon as financially feasible.The HA coordinates partnerships with Habitat for Humanity, local financial institutions, Family Self-Sufficiency, and provides local, state, and federal direct financial assistance to remove barriers associated with affordability.The city offers a HOME Workshop designed to familiarize participants with the process of searching for, acquiring, and maintaining a home. This Housing and Urban Development-funded program is designed to assist first-time homebuyers. Instead of going toward rent,funds go to pay the mortgage lender. As of December 31, 2024,there are households 8 Housing Choice Voucher Homeowners receiving assistance. The City of Dubuque also purchases homes that are in poor condition or acquires them via petitioning the Court for Title of an Abandoned Property.The properties are then rehabilitated and sold to low-mod income households.The city also has a partnership with the Affordable Housing Network, Inc.to rehabilitate single family homes to sell to low-and moderate-income families. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance PHA is not designated as troubled. Discussion Interdepartmental collaboration and coordination of inspection, enforcement, lead-based paint hazard reduction, and rehabilitation have been critical to improving housing options for voucher participants. While there are still a significant number of households experiencing cost burden, most households receiving vouchers utilize those vouchers to keep housing costs affordable.The city continues to provide outreach, education, and resources to housing providers wishing to make units available for voucher participants. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 181 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 394 of 2490 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction The Housing& Community Development Department works closely with the local Continuum of Care (CoC). Community Development and Housing Department staff participate in the local Homeless Advisory Council to remain informed and align priorities and funding to address the needs of residents experiencing or at risk of homelessness.The Community Development Department also partners with the CoC to ensure programming aligns with the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The local CoC established a Coordinated Entry System which includes a network of service providers offering a range of services for homeless and at-risk of homelessness. The CoC conducts point-in-time homeless counts in January, as required, but also in summer months to identify people who may seek shelter during severe winter weather but are usually unsheltered. In addition to the Coordinated Entry System the City's Police Department recently created a division, Crisis Intervention Team (CIT), due to the uptick in brain health related calls. CIT is tasked with brain health crisis response,follow-up, and training. In addition, CIT coordinates with outreach workers with Community Solutions of Eastern lowa (CSEI), a CoC member,to identify unsheltered individuals and provide access to services. Many of these homeless individuals are chronically homeless and/or have substance/use abuse. CIT and community partners work to keep people with brain health issues out of jail, in treatment, and on the road to recovery. The city's Purchase of Services Grants provide funding opportunities for organizations meeting identified human services needs in the community. Organizations providing homeless services will continue applying for these resources to meet needs. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The city has 5 organizations providing sheltered homelessness during the January 2025 point in time count. Some of these organizations serve specific populations, such as pregnant women and victims of domestic violence. In our community,the CoC member, Community Solutions of Eastern lowa (CSEI), manages Coordinated Entry. Coordinated Entry is considered one of the many interventions in a community's united effort to end and prevent homelessness.This process is an established, system- wide process to quickly coordinate access, assessment, prioritization, and referrals to housing and services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The Housing Helpline is a tool utilized by the coordinated entry for homeless, both unsheltered, sheltered, and at-risk of homelessness to access services. The Housing Helpline supports the following subgroups: At-Risk, Individuals, Families, Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 182 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 395 of 2490 Chronically Homeless/Disabled. The city will continue to partner to support the existing shelter beds and collaborate with the Homeless Advisory Coalition to fill additional needs as identified. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families,families with children,veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again The city will continue to collaborate with the Homeless Advisory Coalition to support rapid rehousing programs and the expansion of permanent supportive housing. Permanent supportive housing has been identified as a need by local service providers. Housing and Community Development staff continue to work with our CoC members to identify trends and needs in our community and create systems to address these identified needs. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health,social services, employment, education, or youth needs The city will continue to support the 5 organizations providing sheltered homelessness during the January 2025 point in time count. Some of these organizations serve specific populations, such as pregnant women and victims of domestic violence. Additionally, in our community, the CoC member, Community Solutions of Eastern lowa (CSEI), manages Coordinated Entry.

The city's Purchase of Services Grants provide funding opportunities for organizations meeting identified human services needs in the community. Organizations providing homeless services will continue applying for these resources to meet needs. Discussion Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 183 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 396 of 2490 Cost burden continues to be a significant housing problem experienced in Dubuque and one of the main reasons households are at risk for homelessness. The city will continue to partner with organizations that provide access to quality, affordable rental housing while connecting people with resources to increase their income. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 184 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 397 of 2490 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing —91.220(j) Introduction: Since 2019, Dubuque's total housing units have increased from 23,620 to 25,198 in 2022, adding 1,578 units. However,vacancy rates remain a significant barrier, especially for those seeking affordable housing (housing that a household can pay for while still having money left over for other necessities). Vacant units are scattered throughout Dubuque, with the largest concentrations on the east side and downtown—areas noted in this document for high poverty and racial/ethnic diversity. The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created Section 8 rental assistance programs. Section 8, also referred to as the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program.Tenant-based vouchers are the process by which voucher recipients can find and receive help paying for rental housing on the private market.The City, as the Public Housing Authority, makes monthly housing assistance payments to landlords to help the voucher-holder households pay their rent each month. Participating households pay a minimum of 30%of their adjusted income for rent and utilities. Inadequate federal funding to meet the HCV need negatively affects Dubuque residents too,which is a barrier in itself. Also, a nationwide issue, few landlords in Dubuque are willing to accept vouchers as rental applicants "source of income."In 2015, the City reported just 17%of property owners accepted HCVs; however,this data was found to be an unreliable assumption based on poor data.To obtain accurate data,the City of Dubuque passed an Ordinance January 22, 2019,that requires landlords report if and where they will accept HCVs to receive a rental license. In 2023, 32% landlords accept HCVs. Eighty landlords stated that they would need more information on the HCV program to decide whether they would be for or against it. The lack of affordable quality housing for low-income individuals and families is not keeping pace with the demand. Homeownership is disproportionately low among African Americans. Additionally, low income housing is concentrated in specific neighborhoods. One concern is that not all landlords accept HCVs. Some landlords specifically advertise that they do not accept these vouchers (typically called Section 8) as a source of income for rent. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment Within the City of Dubuque Housing and Community Development Department, the Housing Choice Voucher Program, will continue its efforts to address barriers which included: • Maximizing voucher lease ups for five years • Maintaining a monthly accounting of the voucher waiting list including information on Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 185 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 398 of 2490 applications received, rejected and accepted, and applicant information on race ethnicity, and current or originating address. • Utilizing future funding to target minority groups who have been adversely impacted in the past. Additionally,the City of Dubuque's Housing and Community Development Department offers programs beyond the Housing Choice Voucher to remove barriers to affordable housing. Some of these programs include the home improvement programs which provide loans for low-and moderate-income homeowners. These home improvement programs provide necessary repairs and rehabs for the existing affordable housing stock in Dubuque. These initiatives aim to enhance housing accessibility and affordability for residents. The City of Dubuque Housing& Community Development Department also utilizes Urban Revitalization Program which targets older neighborhoods in the city through incentives such as property tax exemptions that can go towards new improvements. Owners within designated Urban Revitalization districts are eligible to receive a 10-year exemption from property tax liability that would normally be associated with improvements. The City of Dubuque's Planning Department also removing barriers to affordable housing by currently updating the Unified Development Code.This update will be crucial to ensuring that zoning and land use regulations support the needs of the community, promote equitable access to development opportunities, and continue to address the specific needs of underserved populations as identified in the CDBG program. The city cannot do this work alone. The City of Dubuque has engaged several partners along the way to remove barriers to affordable housing. In collaboration with the lowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities, Dubuque created the Development of an Affordable Housing Action Plan. This plan is a comprehensive action plan focused on affordable housing.This plan aims to consolidate existing housing data, engage community stakeholders, and outline actionable steps to be implemented over the next five years. Key objectives include alleviating housing cost burdens for low and moderate-income residents, maximizing land use for diverse housing options, and promoting environmental sustainability in housing developments. Further partnerships include leveraging various state and federal programs to enhance affordable housing. For instance,the city has been designated as an lowa Finance Authority Thriving Community, providing bonus points for obtaining workforce housing tax credits in specific areas like the Central Avenue corridor.Additionally, programs administered by the lowa Economic Development Authority and the lowa Finance Authority offer resources such as mortgage or down payment assistance and rental programs to support affordable housing initiatives. Locally,the city partners with nonprofit entities like Catholic Charities and Affordable Housing Network, INC. which contribute to affordable housing by owning and managing properties for families,seniors, and adults with disabilities in Dubuque and surrounding areas.These organizations play a crucial role in Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 186 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 399 of 2490 providing safe and affordable housing options for vulnerable populations. Through these multifaceted strategies, Dubuque is actively working to remove or reduce barriers to affordable housing, striving to create a more inclusive and accessible community for all residents. Discussion: The city's Housing&Community Development Department utilizes City commissions and other advisory groups to play an important role in the governance of department programs. Members of the commissions and advisory groups are community volunteers, many with lived experiences in homelessness, Housing Choice Voucher, and reside in low-and moderate-income neighborhoods. Their contributions help the Housing& Community Development Department continue to remove barriers to affordable housing, therefore, improving the quality of life for Dubuque residents. Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 187 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 400 of 2490 AP-85 Other Actions —91.220(k) Introduction: The data-driven approach to analyzing equity in services is allowing staff and residents to better understand the needs of underserved populations in the community. Evaluating access to services is no longer sufficient to determine success.The focus has shifted to examine output and outcomes on impacted populations. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The city will continue to support infrastructure, public facilities, code enforcement, recreation programming, and housing efforts and ensure those benefiting from the resources are populations with an identified need.The city continues to seek out and apply for competitive grant opportunities to enhance quality of life for residents. Requests for proposals for public facilities and multifamily developments may be evaluated for projects that leverage other funding sources with entitlement funds to have greater impact for underserved populations. The City's Planning&Zoning, Economic Development, and Housing Departments coordinate to receive and process requests for development of affordable housing.The Housing&Community Development Department works closely with the City's Legal and Equity and Human Rights Departments to inform city staff, housing providers, developers, and the community at large about the barriers to fair housing and the strategic steps the city is taking to eliminate barriers as identified in the Analysis of Impediments.To encourage public support for affordable housing development,the city partners with organizations wishing to develop affordable housing to engage neighborhood residents about the proposed projects. Through a series of informational meetings, housing developers and residents can discuss the community needs, obtain facts about the need for affordable housing, and identify target populations and needs unique to the proposed location within the Dubuque community.These meetings have proven successful for developers proposing Low Income Housing Tax Credit projects. To help with the financial feasibility of these projects,the city offers developers the opportunity to request support from the city for the project. If the project aligns with the City's goals, Consolidated Plan, and Comprehensive Plan,the city facilitates a public engagement process where incentives for the project are presented to City Council. Projects seeking support must apply to the city for a review and the City Council makes final recommendations. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The city uses a number of strategies to maintain affordable housing. Conservation districts, local tax abatement options, and low-interest and forgivable loans increase the availability of resources to improve housing while maintaining affordability. In the period covered by this Plan,the city will refine procedures to identify and support multi-family Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 188 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 401 of 2490 housing projects that meet the goals outlined in this and other adopted city plans.The city utilizes tax rebates, abatements, land donations, and direct financial assistance to provide resources developers need to produce financially feasible projects. Effective relationships with developers of affordable housing, potential buyers of at-risk housing, advocacy groups, lenders, community groups, and education about how to maintain existing affordable housing helps ensure the number of affordable units is maintained. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The city has an aging housing stock and therefore has focused on improving the existing aging,yet affordable, housing stock. To do this,the city utilizes the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, along with local amendments,to promote sound safety and quality property maintenance. The city of Dubuque also has a robust rehab program to offer residents. All CDBG funded rehab activities use the required level of lead assessment when performing rehab on homes. Homeowners and renters are provided information and resources about lead and lead poisoning, as well as information on where and when children should be tested. Code enforcement activities identify visible hazards from peeling paint and housing code to ensure the health and wellbeing of children living in these units. Dubuque has been fortunate to have the Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes Program since the 1990s. The Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes Program allocates money to households in need, particularly those with young children who are most vulnerable to environmental hazards. In 2024,the City received $5.2 million in Lead Hazard Control funds to remediate lead hazards in 100 housing units over the next 48 months.The grant provides opportunity for outreach, education about lead safety hazards, remediation, and training.The program secured funding to train and certify lead contractors.The Lead and Healthy Homes Program effectively delivers successful lead remediation activities for income eligible households.The grant provides additional funds to address health and safety hazards in the home, and coordinates with a Home Advocate to build social capacity for participating families. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City of Dubuque, led by the newly formed Office of Shared Prosperity and Neighborhood Support, is currently implementing the Equitable Poverty Reduction and Prevention Plan. The mission of the Office of Shared Prosperity and Neighborhood Support is, "Through strategic partnership and collaboration, the Office of Shared Prosperity and Neighborhood Support will address, prevent and reduce poverty". Their Vision Statement is, "An accessible city of equitable opportunities for all residents and neighborhoods to prosper". The approach includes identifying the poverty determinants including Economic Insecurity, Lack of Transportation, Lack of Education &Skills, Physical & Briand Health Conditions, Food Insecurity, Racial Inequity, Bias Towards Poor, Lack of Affordable/Safe Housing& Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 189 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 402 of 2490 Neighborhoods, Lack of Childcare &early Learning and Generational &Situational Poverty. While looking at all these poverty determinants,the Office of Shared Prosperity and Neighborhood Support will inform others of data and promising practices to measure and accelerate collective impact. Facilitate collaboration and convene to address poverty, racial equity, and socioeconomic opportunity. Initiate new partnerships and nurture existing ones to advance prosperity. Invest in initiatives that address poverty and enhance neighborhoods. A core goal of the Equitable Poverty Prevention Plan is self-sufficiency for all individuals and families in Dubuque.The city partners with a number of providers and leads several initiatives to support residents in achieving self-sufficiency, including: Increasing Income • Opportunity Dubuque • Family Self-Sufficiency • Fountain of Youth • Dream Center • Small Business Development Program • Employment and Empowerment Expo Building Savings • Work with local financial institutions to set up Individual Development Accounts • Promote Bank On Dubuque to increase financial literacy • Promote the Family Self Sufficiency Program and the escrowed savings account Acquiring Assets • Provide direct homeownership assistance to homebuyers Other • City Life • Neighborhood Associations • Re-Engage Dubuque Actions planned to develop institutional structure High performance government is recognized as essential to coordinating effective community development activities.The program areas of administration, housing, neighborhood development and public facilities are designed to ensure all functions perform in a complementary manner to efficiently and effectively use public and private resources to accomplish goals.The data-driven approach to Consolidated Plan DUBUQUE 190 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Page 403 of 2490 decision making allows evaluations based on outcomes designed to identify: 1. What did we do?And 2. Who is better off because of our work. The city will continue to cultivate partnerships with the goal of creating opportunity for residents to access wealth building resources. Within the institution, steps are being taken to encourage and promote high-performing,fiscally responsible government.This outcome-driven process is focused on data analysis, community engagement, and strategic initiatives designed to support and retain Dubuque's population. Employers in Dubuque are looking for a skilled workforce, and the Housing& Community Development Department has strategically partnered with the private sector to connect unemployed and underemployed populations to training and skills necessary to meet local employer's needs. Multiple departments continue compiling a data library and develop uniform data collection and tracking systems across departments to more effectively address neighborhood, housing, and economic development concerns identified by citizens and staff.The work being completed by these departments focuses on equity and identifying how the institution can provide more equitable services. To address housing discrimination,the city took steps to increase staff understanding of fair housing, discrimination, and the history of racism in the community. Fair housing training was completed yearly. Staff from multiple City Departments, including Police Department Staff, attended the training Fair housing training was also provided to specific departments and organizations serving the public with housing needs. New employees, board and commission members receive fair housing training and education within 30 days of beginning service. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The city has a strong region-wide network of housing and community development partners at the local, county, state and federal level.The city coordinates regular meetings with neighborhood groups, housing providers, and advocacy groups working to promote quality, affordable housing.The Community Development Advisory Commission, Resilient Community Advisory Commission, Equity and Human Rights Commission, and Housing Commission members work to enhance coordination and create strategies for citizen involvement in the planning process.The city requires housing developers seeking city support to hold neighborhood meetings for residents, service providers, businesses, and other impacted populations to learn about the project.This approach allows residents time to learn about the project and has resulted in stronger community support for affordable housing projects. The city has developed strategies to ensure housing developers relate to the community in which they plan to provide housing, as well as local service providers. Programs seeking city support must demonstrate active public engagement in the planning of the project and demonstrate what support services will be available to residents.

Complete 8 Data Source Name FY2024 Fair Market Rent Documentation System List the name of the organization or individual who originated the data set. US Department of Housing and Urban Development Provide a brief summary of the data set. HUD uses 2017-2021 5-year American Community Survey(ACS) estimates of 2-bedroom adjusted standard quality gross rents calculated for each FMR area as the new basis for FY2024, provided the estimate is statistically reliable. For FY2024, the test for reliability is whether the margin of error for the estimate is less than 50%of the estimate itself and whether the ACS estimate is based on at least 100 survey cases. HUD does not receive the exact number of survey cases, but rather a categorical variable known as the count indicator indicating a range of cases.An estimate based on at least 100 cases corresponds to a count indicator of 4 or higher. What was the purpose for developing this data set? The HUD data is used by local governments to plan how to spend HUD funds, and may also be used by HUD to distribute grant funds. Provide the year(and optionally month,or month and day)for when the data was collected. If an area does not have a reliable 2017-20215-year estimate, HUD checks whether the area has had at least 2 minimally reliable estimates in the past 3 years, or estimates that meet the SO% margin of error test described above. If so,the FY2024 base rent is the average of the inflated ACS estimates. If an area has not had a minimally reliable estimate in the past 3 years, HUD uses the estimate for the area's corresponding metropolitan area (if applicable) or State non-metropolitan area as the basis for FY2024.
