PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Comprehensive Housing Activities for Neighborhood Growth and Enrichment, or C.H.A.N.G.E. program is a holistic approach to sustainability that addresses
ecological, environmental integrity, economic prosperity, and social/cultural vibrancy. C.H.A.N.G.E. is a campaign of neighborhood revitalization and an extension
of sustainability to specifically address marginal properties, affordable housing and homeownership. Under the umbrella of C.H.A.N.G.E., this project provides
funding towards the City's strategy of revitalization for the downtown neighborhoods and centers on increasing homeownership. The City administers a number of
programs of federal-and state-provided financial assistance for low-moderate income households(earning less than 80% of area median income)to achieve this.
This assistance provides$38,000 match for funds received from the Iowa Finance Authority. To achieve the goal of promoting a broader income mix of downtown
homeowners, programs are needed to assist households earning more than 80% of median income, who earn too much to qualify for current financial subsidies.
This project also provides for acquisition activities where the City may purchase abandoned, derelict buildings and houses; or it may purchase housing subject to
mortgage foreclosure actions in order to secure City funds previously loaned as part of rehabilitation activities or other housing to accomplish the goals. Certain
improvements will be made to the properties in order to make them marketable for resale. In this manner, neighborhood conditions are improved, dwellings are
resold to responsible owners and City dollars are returned to the revolving fund.
The program offers loans up to $10,000 for down payments and closing costs and$25,000 for rehabilitation. This program is offered to households above and
362
below 80% of median income, as an incentive to purchase and improve homeowner properties in sections of Census Tracts 1 and 5 as part of the Washington
Neighborhood revitalization strategy. The loan repayment funds can be used for over 80% median income and the IFA Match is for below 80% median income.
The other sources of funds can be used anywhere within the City of Dubuque limits. Consideration will be given to increasing the amounts for purchase of rental
properties converted to owner occupied. Beginning in 2008, selective purchases have been made. Certain properties are targeted to be voluntarily acquired, for
reason of poor maintenance and the inability or refusal of the owner to make improvements. These are then resold to qualifying owner-occupied households
committed to restoration of the home. This program can help to expand the Four Mounds HEART program partnership. This CIP will also significantly enhance
GHHI.
In FY 2016, the City created a Housing TIF in the Timber Hyrst subdivision off of North Cascade Road. This is a ten year TIF which requires 38.1% of the income
generated to be used for Low and Moderate Income residents any where in the City of Dubuque.
The percentage to Low and Moderate Income residents can be higher than the required 38.1%. In FY 2019 the percentage is 63.65%; FY 2020 is 69.37%; FY
2021 is 73.14%; and FY 2022 is 55.38%. All other years are 38.1%. This Housing TIF revenue can be used for City initiatives other than Homeownership Grants in
Targeted Neighborhoods & Purchase/Rehab/Resale and can be used outside the Greater Downtown TIF Urban Renewal area.
JUSTIFICATION
Seventy percent of the housing in the Washington neighborhood is renter-occupied, comprising 95% of all households earning less than $10,000. Vacancy is
reported at 13%; single-family home assessments average 37% of the City-wide average. Other areas also would benefit from creating a better balance of owner
occupied homes.

Three:To expand the opportunities for homeownership, especially for low to moderate income households.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Comprehensive Housing Activities for Neighborhood Growth and Enrichment, or C.H.A.N.G.E. program is a holistic approach to sustainability that addresses
ecological, environmental integrity, economic prosperity, and social/cultural vibrancy. C.H.A.N.G.E. is a campaign of neighborhood revitalization and an extension
of sustainability to specifically address marginal properties, affordable housing and homeownership. Under the umbrella of C.H.A.N.G.E., the Homeowner
Rehabilitation Program provides Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) funding for loans to owner-occupied single family or duplex properties for
comprehensive rehabilitation of their homes, including the Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program, Home Repair Program and the new Accessibility Program.
The Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program provides 20-30 year repayment terms for loans up to $25,000, at 0-3%-interest. Loans made be made for greater
amounts if approved on a case-by-case basis by the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Committee.
The Home Repair Program provides$5,000, 0% interest loans for repairs to the home exterior and critical interior repairs. Loans for owners earning less than 30%
of area median income (AM I) will pay $20 per month; owners earning between 31-50% median income will pay$40 per month; and owners 51-80%AMI will pay
$60 per month. The Accessibility Program will offer$5,000 0% interest, three (3) year forgivable loans for accessibility/ADA upgrades for physical accessibility or
such improvements in order to make mobility safer and keep homeowners in their homes.
These programs are City-wide and are partnered, whenever possible, with other programs and departments such as Engineering Dept (sidewalk and sewer
programs) Water Dept(broken water/lead lines) Lead Program and Operation New View Weatherization Program in order to make all repairs cost effective for the
homeowner. This program has been in operation since 1978. In fiscal year 2015-16, the loan repayments for homeowner rehab was$283,374.52 and 203 loans.
The total portfolio of all housing lending programs is now 401 loans with a current balance of$5.7 million. Total CDBG repayments for all CDBG programs was
$400,393. The Homeowner Rehabilitation Program coordinates with the First Time Home Buyer Program, Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Program, National
Disaster Resiliency Grant Bee Branch Healthy Homes Program, and the Washington Neighborhood Home Purchase and Rehabilitation programs.
364
JUSTIFICATION
The residential rehabilitation loan programs are a major element of the City's neighborhood revitalization efforts, which also include the rental dwelling

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Comprehensive Housing Activities for Neighborhood Growth and Enrichment, or C.H.A.N.G.E. program is a holistic approach to sustainability that addresses
ecological, environmental integrity, economic prosperity, and social/cultural vibrancy. C.H.A.N.G.E. is a campaign of neighborhood revitalization and an extension
of sustainability to specifically address marginal properties, affordable housing and homeownership. Under the umbrella of C.H.A.N.G.E., the Washington
Neighborhood Home Purchase program supports and encourages homeownership in the Washington Neighborhood. The program operates under the over site of
the Housing Trust Fund Committee and is capitalized by annual grants received from the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA). IFA requires a match for the program and
the City provides IFA Trust Match of$38,000 in the Assistance for Homeownership Capital Improvement Project(CIP). The primary purpose is to complement
housing assistance provided through the CDBG program by providing loans and grants to low-to-mod income homeowners and buyers in the Washington
Neighborhood and for households earning less than 30% MI are eligible to purchase any property within the City limits. Homebuyer purchase loans are offered on
a sliding scale. Households earning less 30% MI are eligible for$25,000; less than 50% MI are eligible for$20,000; less than 80% MI are eligible for$15,000. All
loans will be 0% interest and have a monthly payment of$60 per month until paid in full or it is no longer their principal place of residence. Homeowners may be
eligible for up to$25,000 for rehabilitation of their property, which will be loaned on a sliding scale as well. Households earning less than 30% MI the loan will be
amortized for 40 years at 0% interest; less than 50% MI will be 1% interest; and less than 80% MI will be 2% interest. In fiscal year 2016, the loan repayments for
IFA Trust Fund loans was$69,170.20.
JUSTIFICATION
Dubuque's Housing Trust Fund was certified by IFA in 2003 as eligible to receive funding awards in annual state-wide competition. The fund has received more
than$1.8 million in IFA awards to promoting homeownership in the Washington Neighborhood. A separate project is established for auditing purposes for each
grant received from IFA. These programs ensure low-moderate income households have access to affordable housing.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Housing Goal Two: To promote the creation and maintenance of an adequate supply of sound, affordable
housing integrated throughout the community, objective 2.1) Promote City partnerships with private sector, non-profit, other government agencies and
366
neighborhood groups to access available public funding and attract private capital for affordable housing development and Human Services Goal Two: To promote
optimum services to meet food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and other basic needs, objective 2.2) Support an adequate, affordable supply of quality housing for
low and moderate income households and the homeless.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Comprehensive Housing Activities for Neighborhood Growth and Enrichment, or C.H.A.N.G.E. program is a holistic approach to sustainability that addresses
ecological, environmental integrity, economic prosperity, and social/cultural vibrancy. C.H.A.N.G.E. is a campaign of neighborhood revitalization and an extension
of sustainability to specifically address marginal properties, affordable housing and homeownership. Under the umbrella of C.H.A.N.G.E., this City-wide project
provides for loans to income-qualifying homebuyers for down payments and closing costs. Assistance is offered as$5,000, interest-free loans. Buyers make
principal-only payments, $40 per month for below 50% median income for three years, then increase to$60 for the remaining five years; or$60 per month for
51-80% median income. The HOME Workshop is mandatory for all participants. In Fiscal Year 2015-16, loan repayments were $48,283.32.
JUSTIFICATION
The major obstacle to first-time homeownership is not monthly payments but the "entry costs"of down payments and lender fees. At$5,000 City subsidy per
home, this assistance is typically leveraged at 10:1 to 15:1 on a lower priced home, while promoting stable neighborhoods through owner occupancy. This program
has been enthusiastically received by Dubuque's realtor and lender communities as partners with the Housing Department in promoting the goal of
homeownership for lower-income families.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Housing Goal Three:To expand the opportunities for homeownership, especially for low to moderate income
households, objective 3.2) Encourage local lenders to participate in programs designed to assist first-time home buyers. This Program currently complements the
IFA Washington Neighborhood Revitalization Program, which provides 0% interest loans to buyers earning less than 80% of area median income on a sliding scale
depending on gross income.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Comprehensive Housing Activities for Neighborhood Growth and Enrichment, or C.H.A.N.G.E. program is a holistic approach to sustainability that addresses
ecological, environmental integrity, economic prosperity, and social/cultural vibrancy. C.H.A.N.G.E. is a campaign of neighborhood revitalization and an extension
of sustainability to specifically address marginal properties, affordable housing and homeownership. Under the umbrella of C.H.A.N.G.E., this project provides for
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)funding to programs that are used as rehabilitation loans to owners of rental properties. This includes the
Moderate-Income Rental Rehabilitation, Emergency Code Enforcement Loan, and Accessibility Rehab programs. In Fiscal Year 2015-16, the loan repayments
were$59,929.75.
JUSTIFICATION
The Moderate-Income Rehab Program, initially funded in Fiscal Year 1995, is designed to promote mixed-income tenants in rental properties. Owners receiving
these loans are not required to exclusively rent units to Section 8 Program families.
The Emergency Loan Program is designed to serve as a last resort alternative to posting and vacating rental properties. In these cases, when failure of a building
system renders the units uninhabitable - and the owner is otherwise unwilling or unable to make comprehensive repairs- a loan may be made to correct only the
deficiency. While this does not result in the more desirable complete rehabilitation of the structure, it does prevent the costly and time-consuming alternative of
relocating the tenants to other housing. The entire building is inspected and must be code compliant.
The Accessibility Rehab Program provides rehabilitation assistance to disabled tenants seeking to modify rental units to accommodate them. Although tenants
have this right under federal fair housing laws, owners have no obligation to provide the funds. This program provides a 3-year forgivable loan up to $5,000, to
owners, on behalf of the qualifying tenants. The rental dwelling rehabilitation loan programs are an element of the City's neighborhood revitalization efforts, which
also include the homeowner rehabilitation programs, purchase and resale of dilapidated properties, and home purchase assistance loans, all administered through
the Housing Department.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Housing Element: Goals 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, and 2.2; Land Use and Urban Design Element: Goals 1.1, 1.4, 7.4, 8.3,

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Comprehensive Housing Activities for Neighborhood Growth and Enrichment, or C.H.A.N.G.E. program is a holistic approach to sustainability that addresses
ecological, environmental integrity, economic prosperity, and social/cultural vibrancy. C.H.A.N.G.E. is a campaign of neighborhood revitalization and an extension
of sustainability to specifically address marginal properties, affordable housing and homeownership. Under the umbrella of C.H.A.N.G.E., the Lead Based Paint
Hazard Control (LBPHC) Program provides financial assistance to low-and-moderate-income homeowners and rental property owners to eliminate lead-based
paint hazards in their properties. The program is specifically targeted to assist families with children under the age of 6. The Program also includes a component
to provide additional financial assistance to remediate select identified health and safety deficiencies.
JUSTIFICATION
The Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Program had been funded through HUD grants received in national competition from 1997 to June 2014, totaling $12
million. The Lead Hazard Control Program was awarded $2.9 million for lead hazard reduction and$325,000 for health and safety repairs and remediations from
HUD in FY 2015. The grant performance period is November 2015 through November 2018. In this performance period 129 units will receive an average of
$14,200 to be made lead safe. In FY2018 52 projects are projected to be completed at an average of$14,200 with $2,500 in healthy homes funds to be
contributed. This Program partners with the Health Services Department, the VNA, and numerous agencies through the Green& Healthy Homes Initiative. This
has resulted in the Dubuque's blood lead poisoning occurrence in young children being reduced by nearly 70%. Beginning in FY 2011, Dubuque was selected as
one of 16 cities nationally to participate in the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI.) The partnership has been expanded to include the Community
Foundation of Greater Dubuque and Operation New View's Weatherization Program. This collaborative approach to home interventions includes the Lead Hazard
Control, Healthy Homes, Rehab and Housing Inspection activities at the Housing Department. It is designed to achieve efficiencies and lower costs of operations,
reduce interruptions and inconveniences for the property residents and improve health and behavioral outcomes for the occupants.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) has awarded the City of Dubuque$8.4 million to assist residents in the Bee Branch Watershed to
repair flood damage and make housing more resistant to future flooding. The project will provide flood-related resiliency improvements to 320 housing units over
the next 5 years. The National Disaster Resiliency Grant Bee Branch Healthy Homes Program coordinates with the First Time Home Buyer Program, Lead Based
Paint Hazard Control Program, Homeownership Rehabilitation Program, and the Washington Neighborhood Home Purchase and Rehabilitation programs.
JUSTIFICATION
The City of Dubuque partnered with the State of Iowa to apply for federal funds through the National Disaster Resilience Competition (NDRC). This nearly $1
billion competition invited communities that have experienced natural disasters in 2011, 2012, or 2013 to compete for funds to help them rebuild and increase their
resilience to future disasters. This project is a significant contributor to Dubuque's effort to create a viable and equitable community.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This program is a component of the $219 million Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project. The Iowa Watershed Approach has six specific goals: 1) reduce
flood risk; 2) improve water quality; 3) increase resilience; 4) engage stakeholders through collaboration and outreach/education; 5) improve quality of life and
health, especially for vulnerable populations; and 6) develop a program that is scalable and replicable throughout the Midwest and the United States.
RELATIONSHIP TO SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES
Dubuque's resiliency plan to address extreme flooding in the Bee Branch Watershed represents a forward-thinking, holistic, and replicable strategy that will result
in reduced local flood risk, healthier and more resilient structures, and more resilient residents. Dubuque's portion of the application highlights the need to address
remaining impacts from the flooding experienced in downtown Dubuque and continued vulnerability to future flooding. The grant funds will address home
maintenance and remediation to decrease environmental health and safety issues from flooding such as dampness and mold growth, electrical hazards, and
structural issues. A comprehensive "Bee Branch Healthy Homes Resiliency Program"was outlined to help Dubuque residents meet unmet structural deficiencies
and empower individuals to be part of the creation of more resilient housing through on-site storm water management principles and sustainable, healthy homes
behaviors.

Improvement Package Summary
1 of 5
This improvement package would provide funding for an additional full-time Assisted Housing Specialist
Caseworker (GE-27B) to assist with case management and voluntary compliance agreement requirements.
The City of Dubuque administers the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) assisted housing programs
as the designated Public Housing Authority (PHA). We provide individuals/families with the housing
assistance that enables them to find suitable affordable housing. The PHA accepts housing assistance
applications from the public and maintains waiting lists for the different programs that we administer. The
PHA makes determinations of eligibility and program compliance. The City of Dubuque and HUD entered
into a Voluntary Compliance Agreement NCA) in March, 2014. There are many provisions of the VCA that
must be followed which places additional duties on existing assisted housing staff.
This request is for one Assisted Housing Specialist (Caseworker) to assist with case management and VCA
requirements. There are currently three caseworkers and one supervisor managing a caseload of
approximately 950 assisted housing participants and 1342 applicants that have applied for housing
assistance.
Duties of these caseworkers include requesting and reviewing criminal backgrounds; explaining program
procedures and eligibility criteria to applicants and the public; assist potential applicants and participants
with completing applications and necessary program forms; coordinates and conducts face to face
orientation for applicants selected for participation in the assisted housing program; tracking and monitoring
all voucher issuance for clients; verifies all household income, assets and allowances as well as calculates
housing assistance payments for initial occupancy, interim changes and unit changes; verification and
tracking of all unit inspections; assisting clients with their search for a dwelling unit; performing rent
reasonableness test for new units and units with an increased rent, perform annual re-examinations
including re-verifying all income, assets and allowances; process all unit changes including ordering
inspections, preparation of leases/contracts, assisting clients with portability requests, responds to all phone
calls to assist clients/citizens to answer questions and make necessary referrals; and maintaining all reports,
files and computer entries necessary for all applicants and participants; perform marketing and outreach for
the assisted housing program.

This improvement package would fund a full-time position rental inspector position (0E-17C). This would
allow rental licensing and inspections to improve operations and return to a 5 year rental inspections cycle.
The frequency of inspections has a direct correlation to the amount of work and inspection staff time
required to restore properties to a code compliant condition, therefore by performing inspections less
frequently we are not able to operate at peak efficiency causing our cost of services per capita to increase
and we find more residents living in unsafe conditions.
Since 2011, inspections staffing levels have decreased by 1 FTE position during that same period there was
a 30% increase in rental licenses issued and additional workload absorbed including that associated with
monitoring problem properties and increased enforcement through court processes including petitioning for
title to abandoned properties. During that period, there were several significant changes to the rental
licensing and inspections fee structure and the locally adopted housing ordinance that will continue to
improve operations and when adequately staffed will allow the division to operate in a financially secure and
-7-
primarily self-sustaining position while providing optimal services to the community that will ensure safety,
affordability and livability in the built environment.
This inspection position would generate approximately $23,810 offsetting revenue from inspection fees
based on .7FTE being dedicated to rental licensing inspections activities. Rental licensing revenue from
increased rental licenses issued is anticipated to generate a $32,263 revenue surplus.

This improvement package would provide additional funds in order to better maintain problem properties/
vacant/abandoned properties and petitioned properties. Expenses for these properties include legal fees
such as new abstracts, title searches and recording of documents; maintenance fees which include mowing/
shoveling, trash removal and cleaning out properties; and building demolition on properties that cannot be
rehabbed. Demolition consists of water/sewer removal, asbestos testing and removal and actual
demolishing. Average demolition costs is $20,000. To-date, FY16-17, expenditures have already exceeded
$35,425 (amount budgeted $61,000) and it is anticipated that expenditures will continue to grow as more
properties are being petitioned for. To date, the City has acquired 9 properties through petition of the
Courts. Legal Department has identified fifteen more possible properties that the City would receive through
this course of action within the next year.

HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Administration and Community Development
Overview
Community Development activities work closely with non-profits, neighborhood groups, associated
businesses, resident, and neighborhood partners to coordinate local resources to accomplish the
goals and objectives of the comprehensive and consolidated plan and any applicable
neighborhood plans. We strive to create a more viable community by providing decent housing and
suitable living environments while expanding economic opportunities for residents in all
neighborhoods.
The department supports several boards and commissions working to advance the goals of the
City of Dubuque. Through the boards and commissions, citizens can provide input on the policies
that shape the City's housing and community development strategies. The Community
Development Advisory Commission ensures meaningful input from residents in the planning,
implementation, and assessment of the City's Community Development Block Grant funded
programs. The Housing Code Appeals Board hears requests to grant extensions of time for
compliance or variance from specified housing code provisions. The Housing Commission works
to understand and meet the housing needs of the community and recommend specific actions to
address the housing needs of low- and moderate-income residents. The Housing Trust Fund
Advisory Committee recommends policy direction and oversight for the administration of the
Housing Trust Fund.
Administrative staff shape recommendations from the public, boards, commissions, and City
Council into actions that strengthen the community. Through engaged partners, we coordinate a
variety of services designed to revitalize neighborhoods, create safe and healthy housing, and
support a sustainable community where residents have an opportunity to live and grow.

Outcome #2: Increase housing options to affirmatively further fair housing.
The City of Dubuque is committed to making housing choice a reality for all citizens. The City
conducts an Analysis of Impediments (Al) to identify and take appropriate action to correct barriers
to fair housing. The community needs identified in the Al, Consolidated Plan, Annual Plan, and
ancillary documents guide the City's efforts and resources to promote housing opportunities
throughout the community. The department will continue to support the efforts of the source of
income work group.
The Analysis of Impediments was updated in 2015 and identifies barriers to fair housing in
Dubuque and steps taken to address those barriers. The City will track the number of successful
mixed-income, and senior housing developments available to low- and moderate-income
populations that are supported outside areas of high poverty concentration. In addition, in calendar
year 2015 the City will establish a baseline for the number of licensed rental properties willing to
participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program. This program is the main way the City
provides affordable housing to the nearly 3,400 households living in Dubuque earning less than
50% of the Area Median Income.

Safe & Healthy Housing
Overview
Safe & Healthy Housing assures that City residents have safe and healthy affordable housing
options. Homes that are safe from environmental concerns improve the physical and mental
health of occupants. City Housing Codes provide the framework and accountability to achieve a
safe and healthy home. This Code is applied to all residential properties throughout the City of
Dubuque. It is a code that utilizes a modified housing quality standard that is similar to the
International Property Maintenance Code.
Compliance, Safety and Code Enforcement facilitates compliance with housing code
regulations through a program of licensing and regular inspection of rental properties as mandated
by Iowa Code. In addition, staff responds to citizen complaints in owner occupied and rental units,
with actions ranging from individual contact in the field; responding proactively and abating
situations before a complaint is received, to achieving voluntary compliance, to pursuing court
orders, if necessary. Vacant and dilapidated housing is monitored on a regular basis. Staff
coordinates housing enforcement efforts with other City Departments.
The Lead and Healthy Home Program provides financial assistance to low-and moderate-
income homeowners and rental property owners to reduce or eliminate lead-based paint hazards
in their properties. In addition, financial assistance is available to assist with remediating health
and safety deficiencies within a home. The program is targeted to assist families with children
under the age of 6.
The Program performs comprehensive lead inspections and property assessments that utilize the
7 basic Principles found within the International Property Maintenance Code. These principles are:
Keep it Dry
Keep It Safe
Keep it Maintained
Keep It Clean
Keep it Pest Free
Keep it Well Ventilated
Keep It Containment Free
In 2015 the City was awarded new Lead and Healthy Homes grant funding totaling
$3.2 million to complete lead hazard remediation in 129 homes in the next three years. The lead
hazard assistance awarded each unit will be on average $14,200. In addition each unit could
receive an average of$2,500 in assistance for health and safety remediation.
-22-
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The goals of this program are: 1) reduction of environmental hazards in homes with children under
6 years of age; 2) provide Lead discipline certification and training of area workers, program
inspectors, and property owners; 3) collaborative public education, awareness, and training of
health professionals, tenants, and property owners; 4) development of community partners who
will promote and establish healthier and safer housing throughout the neighborhoods of Dubuque.

Safe & Healthy Housing -Activity Statement
Safe & Healthy Housing provides residential property inspections, a report of conditions, resources to
correct deficiencies, and ultimately a safe and healthy home that improves quality of life.
Goal: Environmental Integrity
Outcome 1: Improve environmental health
Reduce the number of lead poisoned children, work and school absenteeism, hospital and
emergency visits, and occurrence of medical problems by performing inspections that identify and
correct safety and health hazards within a residential unit.

of Public Health shows 78.1 % of children under the age of 6 with a confirmed EBL > 5 ug/dl. This
lower value will allow children with lead exposure to receive earlier action to reduce detrimental
effects.
Outcome 2: Facilitate sustainable, safe, healthy, resilient, efficient and affordable housing

• Shelter Plus Care: Initial inspection performed before occupancy and/or assistance is
provided (Program provides emergency placement)
• Tenant Based Rental Assistance
Through an integrated inspection process utilized by the above programs health and safety
deficiencies are identified. A safe and healthy home results in a decreased economic burden as a
result of reduced school and work absenteeism and decreased health care costs. In addition,
pride of ownership is fostered through the programs as the property owners are educated on
maintaining the improvements and additional interventions they can perform themselves to
improve their living environment.
In addition, through these inspections housing code violations are identified. Violation correction
and enforcement improve the physical condition of residential properties. A by-product of these
corrections is energy efficiency, weatherization, and lead hazard reduction. These comprehensive
interventions not only stabilize individual homes but also strengthen neighborhoods by allowing
residents to safely remain in properties that are not only healthier and safer but also affordable
and sustainable. This benefits the community in the areas of economics, environment, health, and
well-being.
Sustainable Living
Overview
Sustainable Living Programs improve the lives of people living in poverty by building community

HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program staff develops local strategies to help voucher
families obtain employment that leads to self-sufficiency. The program enables HUD-assisted
families to increase their earned income and reduce their dependency on welfare assistance and
rental subsidies. The FSS program also provides access to child care, transportation, education,
job development, and household skills training, affirmatively furthering fair housing, financial and
homeownership options. An interest-bearing account on behalf of the FSS family is established
and when a family's rent increases as a result of increased earned income, a deposit is made into
the family's account. Once the family fulfills all of its FSS obligations under the contract including
the obligation to be welfare-free for 12 consecutive months, the family earns the escrow account
established on their behalf
Project Based Assisted Housing Programs
1. In FY 2013, the PHA entered into a ten year contract with Rose of Dubuque, L.P. for 17 of
the 70-unit newly constructed assisted-living facility. These vouchers benefit low-income
seniors and disabled persons who need to reside at an assisted-living facility.
2. The Moderate Rehabilitation Program provides rental assistance for individuals/families
residing in 14 units under contract with private property owners.
Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance (aka Shelter Plus Care)
The Phoenix Housing Project has been in operation in Dubuque since 2007. The project's goal is
to provide permanent, supportive housing to homeless individuals/families with disabilities.
Included in the priorities of the City of Dubuque Consolidated Plan is to increase the housing
options and related services for disabled persons and homeless individuals/families. Agreements in
place clarify duties of participants, private housing providers, the City of Dubuque Public Housing
Authority (PHA), the Sponsor Agency, Project Concern, and referring agencies. Project Concern is
the primary contact with the client.

Dubuque Circles@ Initiative
Overview
The Dubuque Circles Initiative is part of an innovative national movement that works to engage
individuals and the community to resolve poverty. Circles® USA is a research based campaign
that was developed due to the realization that social service agencies struggle to provide those in
poverty with long term solutions. The model uses best practices in several disciplines including
community engagement, case management, peer-to-peer counseling, and leadership
development. It creates long term solutions through relationship building across class lines,
resource building through partnerships, and collective impact through community collaboration.
The Dubuque Circles Initiative marries this model with the framework and culture from Bridges out
of Poverty: Strategies for Professionals and Communities (R.Payne, P. DeVol, T Smith, 2001)
Copyright by aha! Process, Inc. and is presented in partnership with aha! Process, Inc.
Bridges is a book and workshop designed to provide training that addresses and breaks down
individual, institutional/community, and policy barriers that keep people and communities from
achieving equitable economic stability.
Individual:
Under-resourced residents take an active role in creating their personal goals of achieving
prosperity. This process begins with 20 weeks of personal development using a curriculum called
Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin'-By World (P DeVol 2013) Copyright by DeVol & Associates, LLC
and is presented in partnership with aha! Process Inc. Participants then put their plans into action
with the support of 2-5 community volunteers and attend weekly programming to expand their
knowledge and practice what they've learned.
Institutional/Community
Circles partners with all sectors to offer well rounded resources already available in the community.
These partners lead programming, have mutually beneficial referral systems for clients, and/or
offer specialized resource options specifically for Circles participants. In addition, Circles staff is
trained to facilitate Bridges Out of Poverty. These trainings offer a comprehensive way for our
community to address poverty.
Policy
Circles houses a Big View committee that works to identify, evaluate and eventually rectify systems
and policy barriers that keep low income individuals from achieving their goals.

Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' by World
Getting Ahead is the first step a low income participant takes when beginning their journey with
Circles. This 20 week, research-based personal development curriculum created by the authors of
Bridges out of Poverty, guides participants in creating the path to a stable, secure future.
Participants examine their own experience of poverty, assess their financial, emotional, social, and
other personal resources, and learn how they can build these resources in their lives. It offers
concepts and tools that allow participants to create attainable goals for their future. The class is
facilitated in a safe learning environment with the support of peers and graduated participants.
Upon completion, participants have goals, and they put their plans into action at Circles Weekly
Meetings.
