SUBJECT: lowa Economic Development Authority Application for Use of CDBG-CV
Funding
DATE: September 2, 2020
Housing and Community Development Director Alexis Steger recommends City Council
approval of the lowa Economic Development Authority application to apply for $521,469
in additional Community Development Block Grant CARES Act Funding.
CDBG CARES Act funding must be used to prevent, prepare and respond to the
coronavirus, but is intended to allow local communities to respond to local needs during
the pandemic. Five immediate needs have arisen in the City of Dubuque that are
identified in the application to IEDA:
1. COVID Related Rent/Mortgage Assistance
2. Rapid Re-Housing
3. Non-Profit Support to Respond to COVID
4. Credit Repair Program after COVID related income losses
5. Child Care, Job Training and Supportive Services
Funding from the IEDA is imperative to continue efforts to support residents in the City
of Dubuque, as they combat the effects of COVID in all facets of their lives. The specific
needs identified in the application meet all program and federal regulations, they meet
the national objective of directly serving low-moderate income residents, and they allow
the City to spend an allocation of funding in a timely manner.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

Introduction
This memo transmits the documents required to apply for $521,469 in additional
Community Development Block Grant CARES Act funding through the State of lowa
Economic Development Authority (IEDA).
Discussion
The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) announced on May 11,
2020 a second round of CDBG-CV funds for states which allows states to fund activities
in entitlement areas. The City of Dubuque is a CDBG-Entitlement area and the lowa
Economic Development Authority invited the city to submit an application for the use of
these CARES Act funds in the City of Dubuque.
CDBG CARES Act funding must be used to prevent, prepare and respond to the
coronavirus, but is intended to allow local communities to respond to local needs during
the pandemic. Five immediate needs have arisen in the City of Dubuque that are
identified in the application to IEDA:
1. COVID Related Rent/Mortgage Assistance
2. Rapid Re-Housing
3. Non-Profit Support to Respond to COVID
4. Credit Repair Program after COVID related income losses
5. Child Care, Job Training and Supportive Services
Funding from the IEDA is imperative to continue efforts to support residents in the City
of Dubuque, as they combat the effects of COVID in all facets of their lives. The specific
needs identified in the application meet all program and federal regulations, they meet
the national objective of directly serving low-moderate income residents, and they allow
the City to spend an allocation of funding in a timely manner.
Recommendation
I respectfully request City Council approval of the attached lowa Economic
Development Authority application documents required to acquire funds to help prepare,
prevent and respond to the coronavirus.

The City of Dubuque is diligently working to prevent, prepare and respond to the coronavirus,
and is grateful to have the opportunity to apply to the Iowa Economic Development Authority
for the use of CDBG CARES Act funding to further those efforts.
The City of Dubuque continues to find ways to support our residents who are experiencing the
loss of family members to the virus, loss of income, loss of housing, and reduced access to
education/child care due to COVID-19. It is imperative that the City of Dubuque continue to
seek funding to provide direct support to prevent further loss and prepare for a future that was
unforeseen prior to the pandemic.
Therefore, I am authorizing the Iowa Economic Development Authority to consider the City of
Dubuque's application for CDBG-CV funding. We appreciate the opportunity and support this
funding can provide to the City of Dubuque, Iowa during this global crisis.
Sincerely,
&Le.,
Roy . Buol

Form HUD-2880 (3/13)
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2.0 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection information unless that collection displays a valid OMB control
number.
Privacy Act Statement. Except for Social Security Numbers (SSNs) and Employer Identification Numbers (EINs), the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) is authorized to collect all the information required by this form under section 102 of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development Reform Act of 1989, 42 U.S.C. 3531. Disclosure of SSNs and EINs is voluntary. HUD is authorized to collect this information under the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 42 U.S.C.3543 (a). The SSN or EIN is used as a unique identifier. The information you provide will
enable HUD to carry out its responsibilities under Sections 102(b), (c), and (d) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989,
Pub. L. 101-235, approved December 15, 1989. These provisions will help ensure greater accountability and integrity in the provision of certain types of
assistance administered by HUD. They will also help ensure that HUD assistance for a specific housing project under Section 102(d) is not more than is
necessary to make the project feasible after taking account of other government assistance. HUD will make available to the public all applicant disclosure
reports for five years in the case of applications for competitive assistance, and for generally three years in the case of other applications. Update reports
will be made available along with the disclosure reports, but in no case for a period generally less than three years. All reports, both initial reports and update
reports, will be made available in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. §552) and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 15.
HUD will use the information in evaluating individual assistance applications and in performing internal administrative analyses to assist in the management
of specific HUD programs. The information will also be used in making the determination under Section 102(d) whether HUD assistance for a specific housing
project is more than is necessary to make the project feasible after taking account of other government assistance. You must provide all the required
information. Failure to provide any required information may delay the processing of your application, and may result in sanctions and penalties, including
imposition of the administrative and civil money penalties specified under 24 CFR §4.38.
Note: This form only covers assistance made available by the Department. States and units of general local government that carry out responsibilities
under Sections 102(b) and (c) of the Reform Act must develop their own procedures for complying with the Act.

sought. Applicants and recipients must report any other government
assistance involved in the project or activity. Other government
assistance is defined in note 4 on the last page. For purposes of this
definition, other government assistance is expected to be made
available if, based on an assessment of all the circumstances involved,
there are reasonable grounds to anticipate that the assistance will be
forthcoming.
Both applicant and recipient disclosures must include all other
government assistance involved with the HUD assistance, as well as

the purpose to which they are to be put. Reasonable aggregations
may be used, such as "total structure" to include a number of
structural costs, such as roof, elevators, exterior masonry, etc.

disclosure report must specify all expected sources and uses of funds -
both from HUD and any other source - that have been or are to be,
made available for the project or activity. Non -government sources of

2. any other person who has a financial interest in the project or activity
for which the assistance is sought that exceeds $50,000 or 10 percent
of the assistance (whichever is lower).
Note: A financial interest means any financial involvement in the
project or activity, including (but not limited to) situations in which an
individual or entity has an equity interest in the project or activity,
shares in any profit on resale or any distribution of surplus cash or
other assets of the project or activity, or receives compensation for any
goods or services provided in connection with the project or activity.
Residency of an individual in housing for which assistance is being
sought is not, by itself, considered a covered financial interest.

a percentage of the amount of the HUD assistance involved.
Note that if any of the source/use information required by this report has
been provided elsewhere in this application package, the applicant need
not repeat the information, but need only refer to the form and location to
incorporate it into this report. (It is likely that some of the information
required by this report has been provided on SF 424A, and on various
budget forms accompanying the application.) If this report requires
information beyond that provided elsewhere in the application package,
the applicant must include in this report all the additional information
required.
