RE: Request for Certification of Consistency with FY 2016-2020 Consolidated
Plan
Introduction
Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP) respectfully requests the City of
Dubuque provide Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan for their
Continuum of Care application to provide Rapid Rehousing Services in the City of
Dubuque.
Background
All organizations and programs seeking funding through the Continuum of Care Grant
are covered by a local jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is a
three or five year plan for the use of entitlement grants in a jurisdiction. Applicants for
Continuum of Care Grant funds must submit Certification of Consistency with the
Consolidated Plan for the jurisdiction in which their services are provided.
The City of Dubuque Fiscal Year 2016-2020 Consolidated Plan identifies the housing,
economic and community development needs for the community. The plan is assessed
and updated at least annually. The Certifying official for the City of Dubuque is the
mayor.
Discussion
HACAP's rapid rehousing program serves 11 counties, including Dubuque County and
the City of Dubuque. The program plans to provide rapid rehousing services for 27
households, with a priority for veterans. The City of Dubuque FY 2016-2020
Consolidated Plan identifies a lack of quality, affordable, and accessible housing for low
and moderate income residents. Affordable housing is particularly scarce for those
below 50% Area Median Income living in rental housing. The rental assistance this
program provides is consistent with the goal to provide additional affordable rental
housing opportunities in Dubuque.
Recommendation
I recommend the City of Dubuque provide Certification of Consistency with the FY
2016-2020 Consolidated Plan for Hawkeye Area Community Action Program so they
may submit application for Continuum of Care funds.
Certification of Consistency

U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development
OMB Approval No. 2506-0112 (Exp. 7/31/2012)
I certify that the proposed activities/projects in the application are consistent with the jurisdiction's current, approved Con solidated Plan.
