RE: Hold a Public Hearing for and approve the adoption of the Public Housing
Authority (PHA) Annual Plan
INTRODUCTION
The City of Dubuque is a Public Housing Authority (PHA) that provides housing
assistance to residents. A PHA is required to submit an Annual Plan to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each fiscal year.
DISCUSSION
The City Council is required to hold the public hearing prior to approving the PHA
Annual Plan before it is submitted to HUD.
HUD also requires that the Resident Advisory Board, comprised of all residents on
assisted housing, review the proposed plan. The RAB meeting was held on May 28,
2025.
The FFY 2025 PHA Annual Plan includes goals and priorities for the PHA that stem
from the 5-Year Annual PHA Plan. This Federal Fiscal Year 2025 focuses on the
following: increasing landlord participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program,
decreasing concentrated areas of poverty, enhanced utilization of program funds in the
community, opportunity to address food deserts, along with and reducing barriers for
participants looking to utilize a voucher in the City, and document revision.
RECOMMENDATION
I respectfully request the Mayor and City Council hold a public hearing on July 7,2025,
to receive input on the PHA Annual Plan and approve the adoption of the PHA Annual
Plan.

B.3 Progress Report.
Provide a description of the PHA's progress in meeting its Mission and Goals described in the PHA 5-Year Plan.
Mission: The City of Dubuque Housing & Community Development Department's mission is to provide decent, safe, and affordable rental housing and
to provide opportunities that promote self-sufficiency, economic independence, and homeownership opportunities for eligible Housing Choice Voucher
participants. PHA Goal: Meet the need for quality, affordable rental homes: The City of Dubuque has worked with Greater Dubuque Development
Corporation to identify the specific housing needs in the Community. Using that data, the City has been working with developers to address the housing
needs and find ways to use Housing Tax Increment Financing as well as other possible revenue streams to help support and incentivize housing
development in the City. PHA assisted the new developments coming on-line in navigating the process to lease up HCV tenants. PHA also increased HCV
Voucher Payment Standards (VPS) to 120% of Fair Market Rent (FMR). PHA uses code enforcement policies that are structured to give more attention
to properties & owners that persistently fail inspections. PHA Goal: Increase the Acceptance of Housing Choice Vouchers by Housing Providers: The
City of Dubuque has increased maintained a strong network alliance with the Landlord Association in order to promote and educate area landlords
about the HCV Program. PHA has refined the use of the HCV Program software to maximize ease of use and data generation. The voucher payments
standards continue to be reviewed yearly and updated to reflect market changes and demand. A waiver was attained from HUD to set VPS for the PHA
at 120% of FMR. This was implemented 1/1/2024. PHA Goal: Implement local government policies that encourage equity and decrease disparate
impacts: PHA constantly reviews and monitors voucher issuance data. This is used to identify possible barriers or impacts that need to be addressed to
run a fair and equitable program. Heavy utilization of HUD's Budget Tool and monthly review with PHA Portfolio Manager to forecast, plan and
enhance utilization. Worked with HUD's technical assistance personnel to implement approaches for increased utilization of voucher funds within the
community. Implemented communication tools and trust building activities for landlords and HCV program participants. City staff meets monthly with
the Landlord Association to continue to strengthen that relationship and those community connections. PHA also refined the Successful Property
Maintenance Course that all property owners are required to attend, enhancing education and training for them. Finally, information for participants
has been reviewed and revised through the revision of the PHA briefing, simplification of information given through those briefings, with an emphasis on
addressing common questions and issues that arise for tenants utilizing the HCV voucher. Documents have been translated into Spanish and
Marshallese, and the readability of documents was also assessed and revised so that all documents were adapted to a 6-7th grade reading level. Voucher
Payment Standards increased to 120% of FMR through a HUD obtained waiver allowing for more housing choice for all participants to utilize. PHA also
began researching ways to add additional Project Based Voucher (PBV) units. PHA Goal: Increase access to opportunity and the building of social
capital: The Childcare Initiative has been working hard to identify needs and barriers to the community's workforce. Several needs were identified. One
outcome is the opening of a new childcare facility that can address the childcare needs in the community and therefore, allowing working parents more
opportunity and workforce advancement potential. The new childcare facility opened in January 2024. PHA created an intern position over the summer
to research and address food desert issues inspecific areas of
