Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Alexis M. Steger, Housing & Community Development Director DATE: March 2nd, 2020 RE: Public Housing Authority 5-Year Consolidated Plan (2021-2025) Public Hearing and Plan Adoption Introduction This memorandum requests the City Council hold a public hearing and adopt the Public Housing Authority (PHA) 5-Year Plan (2020-2024) on March 23, 2020 @ 6:00pm. Background The City of Dubuque is a Public Housing Authority providing rental assistance under Federal Section 8 programming from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development. The City must use the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, Community Development Block Grant 5-year Consolidated Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan to set goals for the PHA for the next 5-years. The PHA 5-year Plan must be adopted 45 days prior to the start of the PHA Fiscal Year, July 1, 2020. Discussion Overall, the Public Housing Authority (PHA) 5-Year Plan (2020-2024) addresses community housing needs, barriers to self-sufficiency, and access to affordable and fair housing throughout the community. The plan then identifies steps to be taken to address these needs/barriers throughout the next five years. The PHA 5-Year Plan goals mirror many of those found in the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing including: • Meet the need for quality, affordable rental homes • Increase the acceptance of Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) by housing providers • Implement local government policies that encourage equity and decrease disparate impacts • Increase access to opportunity and the building of social capital The Comprehensive Plan was also used extensively to develop the Public Housing Authority (PHA) 5-Year Plan (2020-2024). Specifically, the plan addresses these action items in Chapter 10 "Recommendations: Livable Neighborhoods & Housing" in the Comprehensive Plan: • Adopt and implement a mix of educational/outreach programs to increase housing provider participation in Housing Choice Voucher program. • Adopt and implement a mix of financial incentives/policies for creation of Housing Choice Voucher units throughout community. • Look to increase wages and self-sufficiency opportunities in the community to make housing more attainable. The PHA 5-Year Plan addresses these in goals throughout the plan such as: • Continue to use Housing Tax Increment Financing to provide direct housing support to low income families • Provide City support to developers seeking Low Income Housing Tax Credits for the creation of new affordable rental units • Streamline processes that create barriers for housing providers to accept vouchers Recommendation from Housing Commission On February 25, 2020 the Housing Commission held a public hearing for the PHA 5- Year Plan and only recommended the adoption of the plan to City Council if the following language was added as a sub -goal action: "Pass a Source of Income Ordinance that prohibits an owner, lessor, sublessor, managing agent, or other person having the right to lease, sublease, or rent out a dwelling unit from refusing to lease or rent out the dwelling unit to a person because of the person's source of income used to pay rent, including a federal housing choice voucher issued by the United States department of Housing and Urban Development." The draft PHA 5-Year Plan will not reflect this language, but will be given to the City Council as a recommendation for inclusion in the final draft of the plan. Highlights from Past Plan The PHA 5-year Plan also reports the progress on goals set in the previous 5-year plan. Highlights of the progress made includes: • Removing local preference points that caused a disparate impact on African Americans • Implementing weekly equity training for the Housing Authority • Streamlining procedures to make it easier for housing providers to accept HCV • Adopting International Property Maintenance Code to standardize safety requirements • Implementing a tiered inspection program to focus enforcement efforts on buildings that are not well maintained. These successes are among many other initiatives to increase HCV acceptance and increase the safety and affordability of housing. Recommendation I respectfully request the City Council hold a public hearing for the Public Housing Authority (PHA) 5-Year Plan (2020-2024) on March 23rd, 2020 at 6:00pm and adopt the draft plan that fits the community's needs.

PHA Goal: Ensure equal opportunity in housing for all eligible households and affirmatively further fair housing Progress: The City of Dubuque Housing & Community Development Department effectively removed all preference points in 2014, that was causing a disparate impact on African Americans. Since this time the Housing Authority has reviewed documentation that is required and submitted for determining eligibility and made applications easier to complete. Additionally, the applications have been translated into Spanish, and the Housing Authority has access to an interpreter for Pacific Islanders. Additional efforts involve annual trainings on fair housing practices, monthly equity team meetings for the Housing Authority, as well as weekly equity trainings for staff. An annual equity plan is submitted to the Human Rights Department and reviewed for progress each year. PHA Goals: Preserve and maintain existing affordable housing/expand the supply of assisted housing, Improve the quality of assisted housing, Increase Assisted Housing Choices, Increase public awareness and support of family & assisted housing programs and offerings. Progress: The Housing Authority has been streamlining procedures to make it easier for housing providers to accept housing choice vouchers. These include efforts to shorten HQS timelines, remove duplicative forms, and increase the understanding of a caseworker as a liaison. Additionally, money has been allocated to re -brand the housing choice voucher program through education of housing providers and renters. Page 4 of 6 form HUD-50075-5Y (12/2014) City of Dubuque Housing & Community Development Department: IA087 PHA Five Year and Annual Plan: 2020 - 2024 In 2016, the Housing Authority adopted the International Property Maintenance Code for all rental units to standardize safety requirements. In 2018 the Housing Authority adopted a tiered inspection program that focuses inspectors' enforcement efforts on buildings that are not well maintained. This has started to help increase the quality affordable housing that is available in the City of Dubuque. PHA Goal: Provide an improved living environment Progress: The Housing Authority now meets quarterly with neighborhood associations to help spearhead living environment issues such as trash, deteriorated homes, and abandoned vehicles. Additionally, the Housing Authority offers small grants to neighborhood organizations for community building activities through CDBG funds. The City of Dubuque has also spent over $50 million improving stonnwater infrastructure to reduce flooding in homes and on streets. With this effort, a large linear -park was created by day - lighting a creek, providing new recreation opportunities in a low-income neighborhood. In 2020, the City of Dubuque is rebuilding a large city park, in a low-income neighborhood, to create amenities that will be utilized to bring neighbors together. PHA Goal: Promote self-sufficiency and asset development of assisted households Progress: The Housing Authority continues to provide a Family Self -Sufficiency Program, but teams this with Getting Ahead in the Workplace programming to maximize skill building and social capital building opportunities. Additionally, the Housing Authority created a program called Gaining Opportunities that integrates assisted households with non -assisted households whom want to build opportunities for themselves in six main areas: Education, Money Management, Employment, Access to Services, Basic Needs, and Social Connections. This is additional one-on-one case management type services with monthly skill building/social connection gatherings. Volunteers connect with participants to help further their goals. PHA Goal: Increase Outreach to limited English proficiency persons Progress: Applications and materials have been translated into Spanish, and the Housing Authority has access to an interpreter for Pacific Islanders. The Housing Authority has partnered with the Pacific Islander project, Fountain of Youth, Dream Center, Multicultural Family Center and the Project Lantern to maximize community outreach to populations that were traditionally underserved. B.4 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Goals Provide a statement of the PHA's goals, activities objectives, policies, or programs that will enable the PHA to serve the needs of child and adult victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Policies: The City of Dubuque Housing & Community Development Department Administrative Plan illustrates the commitment the Housing Authority has to serve the needs of child and adult victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking. All of these terms are Page 5 of 6 form HUD-50075-5Y (12/2014) City of Dubuque Housing & Community Development Department: IA087 PHA Five Year and Annual Plan: 2020 - 2024 defined in the plan, so they are understandable to participants and to staff implementing the policy. The Housing Authority has posted a summary of rights and protections regarding VAWA on its website and has them readily available for those who request them. Confidentiality is of utmost importance and is strictly adhered to per the administrative plan guidelines. Additionally, to note, the Housing Authority uses the discretion allowed in 24 CFR 5.2007(d) to require no formal documentation and can provide benefits based solely on the individual's statement or other corroborating evidence. Goals: the PHA Goal of implementing local government policies that encourage equity and decrease disparate impacts will help the PHA serve VAWA protected residents by reviewing policies that may create barriers for reporting. Additionally, the review of policies inherently includes the review of the PHA policies in the Administrative Plan that may cause inequities or make it harder for residents affected to report and bifurcate the lease.
