Improvement Package Summary
1 of 7
This improvement package would provide funding to convert to the International Property Maintenance
Code (IPMC) from the current Chapter 6 Housing Regulations. Currently, Housing Inspectors utilize
Chapter 6 Housing Regulations which were adopted in the 1970's based on a modified version of
Housing and Urban Development's Housing Quality Standards. This is a minimum code that does not
require that repairs be done in a masterful manner nor does it provide inspectors with authority for
interpretation of code if subject to legal enforcement by the City.
In Fiscal Year 2016, a high priority adopted by City Council was to update and upgrade the existing
Housing Code. The conversion to the IMPC is an International Code Council code that fulfills this
priority by providing the citizens with a comprehensive code requiring repairs be done in a masterful
(skilled manner; e.q., generally plumb, level, square, in line, undamaged and without marring adjacent
work) manner and provides interpretive discretion to the code official. This clarity would increase the
effectiveness of enforcement when questioned by non-compliant owners about the legal authority of the
code official. Non -Recurring expense includes one-time on-site training of Housing and Building
Department inspection staff by a consultant and merging of the IPMC code reference into existing
housing software used by inspectors. The recurring expense would include four electronic copies of the
IPMC booklets.

This improvement package would provide funding for an additional full-time secretary (GE -25B). The
full-time secretary would perform a variety of clerical, customer service and receptionist duties for the
Family and Housing Assistance (Section 8) activity fifty percent of the time and be responsible to assist
the General Housing Inspection activity in the same capacity the other fifty percent of the time.
There has been a 21 % increase in licensed rental units since 2010 with growth expected to continue.
There has also been the implementation of new inspection fees, penalties and services which has
substantially increased the workload of the permit clerk. The full-time secretary would assist the permit
clerk with licensing and permitting of rentals, scheduling of inspections and written notification,
collection of fees or penalties and other administrative duties which include processing of assessments,
taking of minutes and compiling of statistical data and reports.
Previously the permit clerk had to only schedule for 1.2 inspectors but because of increased
enforcement an additional inspector and the Housing Inspector Supervisor were utilized to perform
inspections increasing the scheduling to 2.7 inspectors. The Permit Clerk is not able to maintain the
service that is required for the General Housing Inspection activity. This is hampering the collection of
revenues and scheduling of inspections that is vital to the General Housing Inspection becoming more
financially sustainable and fully achieving the City Council FY16 High Priority of the housing
inspections.
This position would be responsible for greeting and assisting walk-in clients; accurately developing
memorandums, correspondence, reports and documents; composing correspondence; handling
confidential information; responding to written and verbal citizen inquiries and requests for service;
explaining policies and procedures; arranging appointments and meetings; maintaining files and
records; compiling statistical data and reports; and taking minutes at meetings for the Section 8 and
General Housing activity. Adding an additional full-time secretary would improve department efficiency,
provide much needed assistance in maintaining work flow, expedite citizen responses, and achieve the
goals and priorities of the City Council.

This improvement package would fund a promotion of the Circles Coach position to the position of
Circles Coordinator. Additionally, we are requesting the elimination of one FSS Coordinator and
transitioning that position into a Circles Coach. This improvement package does not add an additional
employee.
Extensive research proves that in creating strong community groups, crime is prevented and quality of
life improved. Through the Initiative's activities, Circles supports individuals in getting off of state
benefits, building wealth and equity, and spending more money at local businesses. By working with
participants to achieve their employment and educational goals, Circles® is actively creating a stronger
workforce in Dubuque.
While these strong features of Circles® have been built, they must be sustained. The research -based
National Circles® Model advises two full-time staff members to ensure continued success. The initiative
currently deals with daily instabilities, possible staff burnout, has experienced significant decreases in
donated revue, and cannot sustainably provide the high level of organization and accountability
expected from a city program. With a Coordinator, Circles® will increase the number and success of
-13-
participants involved, develop stronger partnerships with community organizations, and lead community
outreach that will result in substantial increases in revenue through donations.
The Circles Initiative supports and, with a Coordinator, can further assist the city in achieving the City
Council goals and priorities for 2015-2017 and beyond. This request falls within the goals of Economic
Prosperity, Social/Cultural Vibrancy and Partnering for a Better Dubuque. Beyond Circles' regular
functioning, the Coordinator will work toward these goals in the following ways:
The Coordinator will strengthen Circles' current partnership with Inclusive Dubuque, in order to
work toward the City Council Top Priority of Inclusive Dubuque Action Plan. Circles® plays a
vital role in providing community input and engagement for the city. With a more intimately
partnership, Circles can assist in the implementation of the Inclusive Dubuque action plan.
2. The Coordinator will further work toward the goal of Economic Prosperity and Social/Cultural
Vibrancy by:
A. Teaching and empowering under -resourced community members to be financially
responsible, and to build wealth & equity by:
i. Implementing the Dupaco Money Match program, offered solely to Circles participants,
through a partnership with Dupaco Credit Union.
ii. Implementing financial literacy curriculum that has been developed through partnerships
with local service organizations.
iii. Maintaining and strengthening the partnership between Family Self Sufficiency and
Circles, in particular by offering participants of section 8 engagement in both programs.
B. Bridging gaps to allow under -resourced individuals to get off of state benefits and
succeed in their employment and financial goals by:
i. Appropriately utilizing Promising Future Funds for participants, a grant program only
offered by the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque to a select group of service
organizations.
ii. Successfully preparing participants for entry into the workforce through Getting Ahead,
and Ally, Coach and partnership support systems.
iii. Implementation of Leadership Track programming, created to guide participants in
becoming active and successful contributors in the community and workforce.
iv. Supporting individuals who have already been placed in the workforce and need
additional support, by piloting Getting Ahead in the Workplace, a job retention and
mobility project. This model is being used in other cities, with great success. The
Coordinator will reach out and network with these successful models, in order to pilot
effectively in Dubuque.
v. Supporting participants and evaluating their success by strengthening the effectiveness
of the five phase process where participants work toward, and achieve, education and
employment goals.
vi. Removing barriers to participation in Circles, through the securing of donated weekly
meals, implementing volunteer -led ride sharing to Circles, and Kids Corner educational
programming as childcare for participants.
The Circles Coordinator will reach out to the Police Department of the City of Dubuque, in order
to assist in the community engagement piece needed to achieve City Council Top Priority of
Police: Review Best Practices. Officers have, in the past, voluntarily participated in Circles
meetings and programming, and this partnership helps to develop a trusting community.
Overall, the Coordinator's primary role is to implement, maintain and grow the Circles® Initiative and all
of its components. This position takes an active role in community organizing, and leveraging
partnerships and community resources. The Coordinator engages the community to address barriers
-14-
that make it difficult for people to transition and maintain a lifestyle out of poverty. The Coordinator will
improve and implement systems to recruit, screen, train, and support Circles® participants and
volunteers, and will see these numbers grow.
The Coordinator will supervise the AmeriCorps VISTA position, college interns and field placement
students, as well as the Circles® Coach. The Coordinator will manage the Circles® committee, a group
of notable community leaders who assist in implementing Circles, locating needed resources and
partnerships, and making recommendations for the advancement of Circles and its participants. This
will be done with the guidance of the Housing Director.
The Coordinator will be responsible for conducting intake interviews and strength -based assessments
for all Circles® community members, assisting with identifying and preparation of all required reports,
develop marketing and development methods, including securing grant funds to grow the program. The
Coordinator will also be responsible for account information on Circles® expenditures/revenues in order
to satisfy funders/donors, and budget tracking.
The Circles® Initiative has expanded and will continue to expand successfully with the support of a
Coordinator. It has the potential to positively impact a higher number of participants and community
partners, and of obtaining more donated grants and funding for future revenue and program expansion.

This improvement package would fund a full-time Assisted Housing Specialist (GE -27B) to assist with
case management. The Housing Department administers the Federal Housing and Urban Development
assisted housing programs as the designated Public Housing Authority (PHA). Individuals and families
are provided with the housing assistance that enables them to find suitable housing. The PHA enters
into a contract with the property owner to provide housing assistance payments on behalf of the
individual or family. The PHA must re-examine the individual or family income and composition at least
annually and must ensure each unit meets minimum housing code. Additionally whenever an individual
or family income changes the assisted portion of the rent must be adjusted or whenever the property
owner seeks an increase in rent amounts. There are currently two caseworkers and one
supervisor/caseworker. One caseworker has 354 active Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) participants to
manage; another has 322 participants; and the supervisor/caseworker has 142 participants.
Additionally there are 14 Mod Rehab (project based assistance) cases to manage and 14 Continuum of
Care Special Needs Assessment clients (calculates rental assistance, monitors inspections, verifies
proper documents are received) which are split between these 3 people to manage. These
caseworkers also manage housing choice vouchers that have been issued to families but have not
leased up.
Duties of these caseworkers include calculating housing assistance payments, including 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 amount of rent; perform annual re-examinations including re -verifying all income,
assets and allowances; process all unit changes including ordering inspections, verifications and
calculations of rent, preparation of leases/contracts, determining if requested rent is reasonable;
assisting clients with portability requests, monitoring and reporting termination of benefits; tracking and
monitoring all voucher issuance clients; reviews all leases and prepares contracts, responds to all
phone calls to assist clients -answering questions, making necessary referrals and advises clients in
-15-
individual circumstances whenever possible; and maintaining all reports, files and computer entries
necessary for all clients.
The third caseworker maintains the waiting list. This caseworker has three waiting lists that are
maintained. There are 1126 families on the housing choice voucher waiting list; 798 families on the
moderate rehabilitation waiting list; and 261 families on the project based voucher waiting list. In
addition to the maintenance of the waiting list, this caseworker is also responsible for making the final
determination of eligibility for program participation. At this time, this caseworker is working with 450
families to determine final eligibility
Duties of this caseworker include explaining program procedures, eligibility criteria, waiting list
preferences, anticipated waiting times, and other program issues to applicants and the public;
scheduling appointments with potential applicants requesting assistance in completing applications for
rental assistance; assess needs of program applicants to make necessary referrals to other agencies
and counsels applicants of additional supportive services; enter all necessary data into the housing
computer database; conducts intake interviews; requests and reviews criminal background for
applicants; and coordinates and conducts face-to-face briefing/orientation for applicants selected to
participate in the assisted housing programs.
City Council goals affected by this decision include Planned and Managed Growth (choice of livable
neighborhoods, quality services to residents, opportunities within Dubuque); Partnering for a Better
Dubuque; Economic Prosperity (stabilizes basic need so clients can active greater goals and
opportunities); Environmental Integrity (healthy living environments); and Social/Cultural Vibrancy.

This improvement package would fund a laptop and a projector for the Circles® program. The primary
function of the laptop and projector would be for weekly training on-site for Getting Ahead participants,
Circles Leaders, and volunteers. Circles® would offer weekly trainings for Allies and Circle Leaders
that will strengthen relationships, communications, help break barriers, build leadership skills and set
attainable goals for self-sufficiency. We will also use the laptop and projector for community
presentations and Bridges out of Poverty trainings. This request meets the City Council Goals of
Partnering for a Better Dubuque, Economic Prosperity and Social/Cultural Vibrancy. Circles® Initiative
have partnered with government and not-for-profit partners to help bring economic prosperity to
Dubuque. Circles® Initiative increases the mutual understanding, knowledge and acceptance of
people from different socio-economic statuses and creates opportunities to help families move out of
poverty. Private donations from the circles program will be used to purchase the equipment.

This improvement package would provide ongoing funding for translation of one City brochure each
year ($1,100). Translation services would ensure equal access to and participation in City services for
persons with hearing, speech, or vision impairments or with limited English proficiency. The American

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 (AI) to identify and take appropriate
action to correct bamiers 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
10=1 1777
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 similarto 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-

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.

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: Improve quality of housing stock and ensure sustainable and

HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
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
byproduct 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
