that "an ordinance enacting a new Section 5-2-14, Pedestrian Safety, Use of Medians", be received,
placed on file, considered and passed for the second time. Roll call vote -Ayes: Five. Nays Morrissey
and Grieder Motion carried.
Mr. Grieder commented that he opposes the ordinance and explained several reasons why. He stated
that he received 96 communications from his constituents, read some that spoke against the ordinance,
and commented that none of them spoke in favor of the ordinance.
Mrs. Juon commented that her constituents except for one is in favor of the ordinance She added that
she is offended by Mr. Grieder's inference that people who support the ordinance do not care for poor
people. She added that allowing people to stand on a median to collect money in a dangerous situation
does nothing to help people who are suffering in poverty. If council wants to make a difference in the
lives of those suffering, than meeting with the organizations that provide assistance would be a more
appropriate direction to go.
Mr. Boesen commented that he would vote in favor of the ordinance and believes it is a safety issue
and that he does not want to wait for someone to get hurt to pass and ordinance. He added that if an
ordinance is unconstitutional and unenforceable then it should be removed.
Page 14 of 546
June 1, 2020 Page 7
Mr. Feuss commented that he also has been contacted by constituents who are in favor of the ordinance
and though he is personally not in favor of it, his constituents are and he therefore will be voting in
support.
Mr. Amos commented that he has not had a single person contact him about the issue. He commented
that he supports the ordinance and believes it is for safety.
Mr. Morrissey commented that he is frustrated that this ordinance does not repeal 3-4D-1 Article B
addressing solicitation that has been, as stated by the Police Major, is unconstitutional and
unenforceable. He stated that the ordinance is not about safety and expressed concerns that this
ordinance is unconstitutional.
Mrs. Klein commented that she brought the ordinance to council due to complaints from citizens that
were experiencing near misses. She stated that she grew up poor so she understands poverty and food
shortages. She explained that she is not asking to remove panhandlers from our city; she is asking to
move them from the busiest points of the medians, which will be safer for everyone involved.
Mayor Hart commented that he does not at all believe that this has anything to do with someone
wanting to eliminate the poorest in our community. He explained that we are dealing with the most
vulnerable in the community that are sitting in a very narrow median, and agrees that this is a systemic
problem as mentioned by Mr. Morrissey. He noted that he reached out to the VA to figure out what
they might be able to do to help change someone's life. He is not hearing about solutions, because
whether they are in the median or not, it is not a sustainable source of income. He explained that we
need to work with those that have programs and processes.
Mr. Amos asked to hear from the City Attorney regarding the constitutionality of the ordinance.
Martin Petersen, City Attorney, explained that he has spoken with Mr. Morrissey who asked him to
address the 2015 Court of Appeals case from the First Circuit in Maine. That ordinance was struck
down because it was too broad and not as closely related to public safety as the court wanted. He went
on to explain that because this ordinance has stricter requirements with regard to the places this applies
to and the width of medians, that he is comfortable with the draft ordinance as it is written.
157885 - Amos/Juon
that rules requiring ordinances to be considered and voted for passage at two prior meetings be
suspended. Roll call vote -Ayes: Three. Nays: Four (Boesen, Morrissey, Feuss, and Grieder). Motion

157886 - Amos/Grieder
that "an ordinance amending Chapter 3, Sewer Regulations, Section 8-3A-6: Sewer Rental Charge to
increase sewer rates", be received, placed on file, considered and passed for the first time. Roll call
vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
Craig Loffredo, explained that he and his wife purchased Vet's Truck Wash in October of 2018 and
that his cost of doing business has gone up almost $17,000 in the last few years. He questioned who
is representing the small businesses being impacted by the changes.
Mayor Hart explained that the sewer rate discussions have been ongoing for a couple of years and that
our sewer and water rates are very competitive to other communities.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, commented that the EPA has told the city that they need
to make improvements and has entered into contracts to be in compliance, and the rate increase is
necessary in order for the city to pay its bills. Even after this rate increase passes, the City of Waterloo
will be the seventh lowest for sewer rates of the 43 most populous communities in the state of Iowa
and third lowest of the largest eleven cities.
Mr. Grieder commented that he spoke to Mr. Loffredo today and that this situation highlights the need
to not defer the cost of maintaining facilities or infrastructure.

$297,000.00
100% DOT Traffic Safety Grant
Goal 2 - Strategy 2.2: Enlist all City departments and staff members in
efforts to promote a safer community.
Due to high accidents, a safety grant was applied for and awarded. Traffic
data showed high number of right turners so a right turn lane was added.
The location warrants traffic signals.

THESE DESIGN DRAWINGS INCORPORATE UNDERGROUND UTILITY INFORMATION BASED UPON SUBSURFACE UTILITY
ENGINEERING PRACTICES AND STANDARD GUIDELINES FOR THE COLLECTION AND DEPICTION OF EXISTING SUBSURFACE
UTILITY DATA (Cl/ASCE 38-02).
UTILITY QUALITY LEVEL A: PRECISE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LOCATION OF UTILITIES OBTAINED BY THE ACTUAL
EXPOSURE (OR VERIFICATION OF PREVIOUSLY EXPOSED AND SURVEYED UTILITIES) AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT OF
SUBSURFACE UTILITIES, USUALLY AT A SPECIFIC POINT. MINIMALLY INTRUSIVE EXCAVATION EQUIPMENT IS TYPICALLY USED
TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR UTILITY DAMAGE. A PRECISE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LOCATION, AS WELL AS OTHER
UTILITY ATTRIBUTES, IS SHOWN ON PLAN DOCUMENTS. ACCURACY IS TYPICALLY SET TO 15-MM VERTICAL AND TO
APPLICABLE HORIZONTAL SURVEY AND MAPPING ACCURACY AS DEFINED OR EXPECTED BY THE PROJECT OWNER.
UTILITY QUALITY LEVEL B: INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF APPROPRIATE SURFACE GEOPHYSICAL
METHODS TO DETERMINE THE EXISTENCE AND APPROXIMATE HORIZONTAL POSITION OF SUBSURFACE UTILITIES. QUALITY
LEVEL B DATA SHOULD BE REPRODUCIBLE BY SURFACE GEOPHYSICS AT ANY POINT OF THEIR DEPICTION. THIS
INFORMATION IS SURVEYED TO APPLICABLE TOLERANCES DEFINED BY THE PROJECT AND REDUCED ONTO PLAN
DOCUMENTS.
UTILITY QUALITY LEVEL C: INFORMATION OBTAINED BY SURVEYING AND PLOTTING VISIBLE ABOVE -GROUND UTILITY
FEATURES AND BY USING PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT IN CORRELATING THIS INFORMATION TO QUALITY LEVEL D
INFORMATION.
UTILITY QUALITY LEVEL D: INFORMATION DERIVED FROM EXISTING RECORDS OR ORAL RECOLLECTIONS.

A TSB is a small business, as defined by Iowa Code Section 15.102(5), which is 51% or more owned,
operated and actively managed by one or more women, minority persons or persons with a disability.
Generally this is a for -profit small business enterprise under single management, is located in Iowa and
has an annual gross income of less than 4 million dollars computed as an average of the three preceding
fiscal years.
2. TSB REQUIREMENTS
In all State -assisted projects made available through the Iowa Department of Transportation, local
governments have certain affirmative action requirements to encourage and increase participation of
disadvantaged individuals in business enterprises. These requirements are based on Iowa Code Section
19B.7 and 541 Iowa Administrative Code Chapter 4. These requirements supersede all existing TSB
regulations, orders, circulars and administrative requirements.
3. TSB DIRECTORY INFORMATION

Phone: 515-725-4805
4. THE CONTRACTOR'S TSB POLICY
The contractor is expected to promote participation of disadvantaged business enterprises as suppliers,
manufactures and subcontractors through a continuous, positive, result -oriented program. Therefore the
contractor's TSB policy shall be:
It is the policy of this firm that Targeted Small Business (TSB) concerns shall have the maximum practical
opportunity to participate in contracts funded with State -assisted funds which are administered by this firm
(e.g. suppliers, manufactures and subcontractors). The purpose of our policy is to encourage and increase
the TSB participation in contracting opportunities made available by State -assisted programs.
5. CONTRACTOR SHALL APPOINT AN EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO) OFFICER
The contractor shall designate a responsible person to serve as TSB officer to fulfill the contractor's
affirmative action responsibilities. This person shall have the necessary statistics, funding, authority and
responsibility to carry out and enforce the firm's EEO policy. The EEO officer shall be responsible for

Summary Statement:
Transmitted herewith is a request by Esad Osmic to rezone 0.945 acres from
"C-2" Commercial District to "C-P" Planned Commercial District with
conditions, located at 122 Black Hawk Road, in order to allow for a truck
repair and terminal business.
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the request at
their regular meeting on May 5, 2020.
Expenditure Required: None
Source of Funds: N/A
Policy Issue:
Strategy 1.3: Ensure that development -ready sites exist and realistic,
meaningful incentives are defined to attract new business and support
existing business expansions.
The request should not have a major impact on the neighborhood with the
recommended conditions. Staff is requesting that a tree buffer be installed
along Paul and Janney Avenues and there is commercial properties along its
northern property line.
The area of the proposed site is currently zoned "C-2" Commercial District
and has been zoned as such since the adoption of the zoning ordinance in
1969. Surrounding uses and zoning:
North — Vacant Land, Cozy Van, Honn's Auto Body, and residential zoned
"C-2" Commercial District.
South — Residential and Black Hawk Creek zoned "R-2" One and Two
Family Residence District and "A-1" Agricultural District.
East — Black Hawk Creek zoned "A-1" Agricultural District.
West — Residential zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District
and "C-2" Commercial District.
There is a 21" sanitary sewer line that travels from the northeast along Black
Hawk Creek to the intersection of Black Hawk Road and Paul Avenue
before continuing along Black Hawk Road. There is a 8" sanitary sewer line
from the intersection of Paul Avenue and Janney Avenue to the intersection
of Black Hawk Road and Paul Avenue where it connects to the 21" line
along Black Hawk Road. There is also a 12" storm sewer along Janney
Avenue.
The site sits on the corner of Janney Avenue, Paul Avenue, and Black Hawk
Road. Black Hawk Creek sits to the east of the property with commercial to
the north along Falls Avenue with residences on the south side of Paul
Avenue and on the west side of Janney Avenue. It should also be noted that
the residences along the west side of Janney Street are zoned "C-2"
Commercial District and have been zoned as such since the adoption of the
zoning ordinance in 1969.
Page 205 of 546
Background Information:
Legal Descriptions:
The building on the site was built in 1954 and has been used as commercial
since that time as a automotive services/fuel station and related services. The
applicant and current owner of the property owns a trucking company
(White Wing Trucking) and is looking to use the property to do limited
maintenance and repair on their trucks and as a truckers office/truck terminal.
Before purchasing the site the property had not been maintained for some
time and the applicant has invested money into fixing up the property.
The applicant has also agreeed to put trees along Paul Avenue and Janney
Avenue to buffer the property from neighboring residences. The applicants
have also agreed to put down hard surfacing on a portion of the lot for
parking and to close the most northern entrance along Janney Avenue.
Therefore, staff recommends that the request by Esad Osmic to rezone
0.945 acres from "C-2" Commercial District to "C-P" Planned Commercial
District for a truck repair and truck terminal facility located at 122 Black
Hawk Road be approved for the following reasons:
1. The request would not appear to have a negative impact on the
surrounding area with the conditions that have agreed upon by the
applicant.
2. The request would not appear to have a negative impact upon
pedestrian and traffic conditions within the surrounding area.
3. The site has been used for commercial purposed since at least 1954.
With the following conditions:
1. No outside storage other than licensed and operable vehicles and
trailers.
2. The property has a tree buffer along Paul Avenue and Janney Avenue
except for openings a maximum of 40 feet wide at the two existing
driveways.
3. All maintenance and repair of vehicles is to be done inside the
building.
4. That hard surfacing be installed on a portion of the property as shown
on the approved site plan.
5. That the northern entrance along Janney Avenue be closed, and the
tree plantings be placed across the existing opening
All that part of Lot 42, Auditor Rainbow's West Side Plat in the City of
Waterloo, Black Hawk County, Iowa, and of the Park in "Hagerman Place"

Letter to City Council from Esad Osmic (122 Black Hawk Rd. Waterloo IA 50701) for rezoning
the property to zone C-P
I would like to introduce myself first. My name is Esad Osmic, and I have been a resident of Waterloo, IA
for the past 20 years.
A year and a half ago we purchased the property on 122 Black Hawk Rd. Waterloo, IA. At the time of
purchase there was a severe damage to the building and property itself. The grass was tall, weeds
everywhere, and trash left all over as well as landscaping materials left out in the open. Since then we
have cleaned up the property leaving nothing out in the open besides company vehicles. Grass has been
mowed, sprayed for weeds, and repaired any damages.
We purchased the building for our small family owned trucking business (White Wing Trucking LLC). We
do own 6 of the trucks and they do come to the property from time to time to have them looked at and
to fix any issues with the equipment to stay in line with DOT regulations. All the work that needs to be
done from now on will be done inside the building. The only equipment that are being worked on, at
122 Black Hawk Rd. are our own trucks. While we are a trucking company the only service that is
provided here for the trucking company is our dispatchers who book loads for the drivers and the shop
which repairs any issues with the equipment. It is necessary for us to have a lot and shop to work on the
equipment as the costs associated with going to others is to expensive for the work provided.
I also own a 24-hour Road service and this business does not operate from the property at 122 Black
Hawk Rd. Waterloo IA 50701. The road service is only for fixing other trucks and all of that is performed
over the road where the trucks break down.
I would like to ask you to approve rezoning of the property at 122 Black Hawk Rd. Waterloo IA 50701 to
ZONE C-P so we can keep the property for our White Wing Trucking business. The property is essential
to our business, as we have built a system surrounding this property. We have our trucks run for a short
time and have them return here for check up's and maintenance. We do this to lower the costs
associated with repairing the vehicles and to bring work for the other business located in Waterloo, IA it
helps us create relationships with facilities around us.
We will also invest into adding some fence along Paul Ave. and Janney Ave. to protect our residential
neighbors. With that we will also extend our hard surface parking for the trucks when they do come
here. We also contacted and contracted True Green company to kill the weeds and grass that has grown
over the gravel over the years.
With that work done we will also make sure that the trucks do not idle in front of the shop. If a truck
needs more work done and will be here overnight, we will provide drivers a hotel room for the time
being and trucks will be worked on inside the garage, so to not disrupt the neighbors.
We are here to make everybody happy and to help our community and our neighbors with anything
they might need help with. We are also open every workday and our neighbors are welcome to come
and see what we are working on: -and how we are planning to protect their privacy.
Sincerely Esad Osmic

agency awards.
4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
Waterloo and Cedar Falls conducted a multi -pronged approach to citizen participation and engagement.
An online survey was posted on each city's website for a 20-day period. Social media outlets from both
cities, but also each school district, other organizations, and neighborhood groups were used to share
the online survey. Paper versions of the same survey were also made available through city offices, but
also at local agencies and organizations that provide assistance to low-income households. Those
agencies included Operation Threshold and the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, and Eastside Ministerial
Alliance. In addition, other opportunities for outreach were utilized to notify the upcoming survey,
including the 2018 Waterloo Fall Neighborhood Association Leadership Meeting.
Four focus groups were also organized with stakeholders from the community representing public
agencies and private non-profit organizations that serve both communities. For those that were unable

to attend, follow up one-on-one interviews and digital surveys utilizing the focus group questionnaires
were used for input.
Based on the input received from the community, stakeholders, including service providers, non-profit
organizations, city departments and staff, and the prepared housing market analysis, and the analysis of
impediments, a set of priorities were established by the cities for the next five years. The planning
process and input for were utilized for preparing the Five -Year Consolidated Plan and the FY2020 Annual
Action Plan.
The input included a review on identifying city needs and evaluation of existing resources. Additional
information provided by focus groups and one-on-one meetings identified additional needs and gaps in
services, and provided input in establishing strategies to address both the needs and gaps in services
and programs in the community. Additional information, including city regulations and ordinances, and
additional data and resources were also utilized for preparing the Consolidated Plan.
5. Summary of public comments
Copies of information, sign-ups, and notes from the four focus groups, one-on-one interviews, and

1. Introduction
Waterloo and Cedar Falls engaged in an extensive consultation process with local agencies and non-
profit organizations in an effort to develop a community driven Consolidated Plan and Annual Action
Plan.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1)).
Four focus groups were organized on December 4, 5, and 6, 2018 with the community development
staff from both communities present to discuss current needs and gaps in services, actions that would
remove barriers, as well as what actions the two communities could take to improve those issues. For
those agencies and non -profits that were unable to attend the focus groups, additional one-on-one
meetings were help. A summary of the focus group sessions and individual interviews are attached in
the Appendix.
At this time no broadband Internet service providers were included in the consultation process. The City
of Waterloo along with Magellan Advisors will be conducting a broadband feasibility study. The goal of
the study is to help Waterloo determine the practicality of a city -owned broadband system. Waterloo
currently has 5 Internet service providers. However, the rising costs of Internet service in the city has
influenced the feasibility study. Broadband service providers will be included in the consultation process
in future years once the feasibility study has been completed.
The Emergency Management Office was not consulted during the consultation period because cities in
Black Hawk County typically do not initiate meetings with the public to discuss hazard mitigation issues.
The Emergency Management Office in Black Hawk County conducts meeting whereby the cities and
public are invited to cover disaster response and recovery issues. Black Hawk County updated its Multi -
Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2015. The plan was approved by FEMA on 5/4/2015 and expires
5/4/2020. When the plan is updated information regarding city and public input will be included in the
future Annual Action Plans.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
The Black Hawk County Local Homeless Coordinating Board (LCHB) as part of the Black
Hawk/Grundy/Tama Coordinate Service Region has prepared their 2018 Policy and Procedure for
Coordinated Entry, which identifies goals, principles, and identified targeted populations. In addition,
the Policy and Procedure identifies the designated lead agency for coordinated entry procedures,
provides guidance for assessments, screening, prioritization, and also provides guidance for the
evaluation and updating of these procedures. Representative from agencies, including Community
Housing Initiatives, the designated lead agency, that are members of the LCHB participated in the
December 4th focus group and provided detailed information on housing needs for homeless persons as
well as those that are at -risk of homelessness, and provided input on housing needs, barriers, and
potential solutions.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate
outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
Waterloo and Cedar Falls currently do not receive ESG funds. The Black Hawk County Local Homeless
Coordinating Board (LCHB) is the region's Continuum of Care (Coc) organizations, which manages
homelessness policies and coordinates entry. The LCHB has extensive membership, with over 50
members and with representation from approximately 40 different agencies, including state and local
government agencies, non-profit, faith -based organizations, health clinics, and local businesses. The
board meets every two months to coordinate their efforts to respond to housing and service needs of
Black Hawk County's homeless population. In addition, the board organizes the annual Point -In -Time
survey, which is conducted in January of every year. The LHCB does have a county -wide focus, but the
majority of services and needs are met within Waterloo and Cedar Falls.

Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any
adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan
(91.215(1))
The lead agency for the Consolidated Plan is the City of Waterloo Community Development office. As
part of the Consortium, the City of Cedar Falls also worked closely in preparing the Consolidated Plan,
with assistance from local agencies, including the Iowa Northeast Region Council of Governments
(INRCOG), and the Institute for Decision Making (IDM) from the University of Northern Iowa.
Stakeholders representing area agencies, local government, state agencies, and other area non -profits,
participated in focus groups and provided input on a range of housing and social service needs,
especially with a focus on affordable housing and human services that assist low and moderate income
households. Major entities included the Waterloo Housing Authority and the Cedar Falls Low Rent
Housing Agency as well as private entities such as the Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity, the
Northeast Iowa Food Bank, and Operation Threshold. Many of the activities and services that were
identified will involve the cooperation and coordination of the agencies and organizations that
participated and provided input during the Consolidated Plan process. Additionally, the City of Waterloo
and City of Cedar Falls will continue to assist with developing partnerships between local and state
government, developers, lenders, real estate professionals, and advocates for the elderly, persons with
disabilities, and other low income persons, in order to continue to promote affordable housing and
related services.

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
Waterloo and Cedar Falls worked together to plan and organize citizen and agency participation and engagement. The two primary methods
included focus group sessions with community stakeholders in both communities that represented a wide range of public agencies and private
non-profit organizations, and a community wide survey, held over a 20-day period, utilizing both online and paper copies of the surveys. The
digital survey utilized website and social media outreach to improve community participation, while paper surveys were distributed to area
agencies that provide services to low-income households and seniors, who may not have access to computers or the internet. The process
assisted in identifying priority needs and a strategic plan to address affordable housing needs and human services for low and moderate income
households.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
Based on the HUD CHAS data and analysis included within this section, in addition to interviews and
focus group discussions help with service providers, the following conclusions have been identified
related to housing in Waterloo/Cedar Falls for all household types, income groups, and racial/ethnic
groups:
• Fifty-two percent of "other" renter households and 36% of elderly households were paying
more than 30% of their income for housing (cost burden)
• Fifty-six percent of "other" renter households, and 42% of elderly households were paying more
than 50% of their income for housing (severe cost burden)
Racial/ethnic groups with disproportionate housing problems (defined as housing units lacking complete
kitchen facilities and/or complete plumbing facilities, overcrowding (more than 1.5 persons per room),
and/or cost burden greater than 30%) include the following:
Housing Problems
• Black households with incomes at 31-50% of Area Median Income (AMI)
• Asian households with incomes at 31-50% and 51-80% of Area Median Income (AMI)
• American Indian/Alaska Native households with incomes at 51-80% of Area Median Income
(AMI) (small sample size)
• Hispanic households with 51-80% and 81-100% of Area Median Income (AMI)
Severe Housing Problems
• Asian households with incomes at 31-50% and 51-80% of Area Median Income (AMI)
• Hispanic households with incomes at 0-30%, 31-50% and 51-80% of Area Median Income (AMI)
Racial/ethnic groups with disproportionate housing cost burden include the following:
Housing Cost Burden
• Black/African American and American Indian/Alaska Native households with housing cost
burden paying over 51%
• Asian households with household cost burden between 31-50%
• Pacific Islander households with household burden paying less than 30%

Summary of Housing Needs
The following tables are HUD -generated tables within the IDIS eCon Planning Suite. The data has been
updated to provide the 2016 ACS data and the 2011-2015 CHAS data where appropriate to reflect the
most recent available data. HAMFI refers to "HUD Adjusted Median Family Income," which is the
median family income calculated by HUD for each jurisdiction in order to determine Fair Market Rents
and income limits for HUD programs.
The Housing Needs Assessment is based on data provided by HUD through the Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy (CHAS) and supplemental Census data, including the 2010 Census and the
American Community Survey. The data provides a snapshot of the housing needs within the HOME
Consortium. The data together with focus groups, including agencies and housing providers that serve
the Consortium, and the community survey, provide an analysis of the housing needs for both Waterloo
and Cedar Falls. Data is provided for the Consortium as a whole.

Comments:
Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
According to the ACS 2013-2017 data there are 9,978 single person households in Waterloo. 5,156 of
the single person households are in owner occupied housing. 4,822 of the single person households are
in renter occupied housing. Of those households small related households experience high levels of cost
burdens with 90% of extremely low income households experiencing 50% or greater cost burden. Single
family households, especially low and moderate income households also experience the highest rates of
crowding. One of the important considerations when examining housing cost burdens is that they are
linked with increased rates of homeless risk. While the most recent Point -In -Time survey identified a
small number of persons that were homeless, many households are currently at risk of becoming
homeless.
The Waterloo Housing Authority currently has 1095 Housing Choice Vouchers under lease in the city.
440 of those currently under lease are single person households. 40% of the vouchers under lease are

single person households. The Housing Choice Voucher waiting list currently has 703 households waiting
for assistance. Single person households make up 55% of the current waiting list with 387 Single person
households waiting for assistance. Waterloo's public housing facility Ridgeway Towers currently has 46
of the 50 units under lease to single person households. There are currently 61 households on the
waiting list for Ridgeway Towers. 56 of those waiting are single person households.
Waterloo Community Development currently has 20 single person households on the housing
rehabilitation waiting list. In addition to those in need of housing rehabilitation there are currently 13
single person households in need of emergency services through the Emergency Repair Program.
Emergencies consist of immediate health and safety hazard items such as furnaces, water heaters, roofs
and water supply lines.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or
victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Housing data and needs for those that are disabled, victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault and stalking are not currently available. The focus groups input from agencies that assist these
communities and community survey results indicate that those that are disabled and persons who are
victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking, are in need of affordable
housing and services.
The 2016 ACS data indicates that 12.5% reported a disability in Waterloo and 8.3% in Cedar Falls. In
Waterloo, 5.5% of people under 18 years old, 21.6% of people 18 to 64 years old, and 61.4% of those 65
and over had a disability. In Cedar Falls, 4.4% of people under 18 years old, 12.6% of people 18 to 64
years old, and 60.3% of those 65 or older had a disability. The elderly represent a large percentage of
persons that are disabled.
What are the most common housing problems?
The housing cost burden greater than 50% is the most common housing problem for both renters and
homeowners. Over 51% of the extremely low income renters and 30% of the extremely low income
homeowners experienced at least one type of severe housing problem, including lacking kitchen or
complete plumbing, severe overcrowding, and/or a severe cost burden.
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems?
Approximately 59% of extremely low "other" renters and 41% of elderly homeowners were paying more
than 30% of their income for housing. Eighty percent of extremely low "other" renters and 55% of
Consolidated Plan

elderly homeowners were paying more than 50% of their income for housing. Single family households
with low to moderate incomes experienced the highest rates of crowding.
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children
(especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of
either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the
needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re -housing
assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance
No detailed information currently exists for Waterloo and Cedar Falls, but general information is
available through the Balance of State Continuum of Care regarding state wide efforts. The Iowa Council
of Homelessness oversees state-wide efforts to serve persons and families experiencing homelessness
by targeting funding and programs, and coordinates with state agencies that provide support and
services that best align with client needs. The Iowa Finance Authority, the Balance of State's
collaborative applicant houses all CoC funding and other housing development funds, which allows for
an intentional funding effort, which can be measured against Iowa's strategic plans.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a
description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to
generate the estimates:
Currently, there are no estimates available for Waterloo and Cedar Falls identifying the estimated
population at -risk. The 2018 Waterloo Housing Needs Assessment estimated that in 2016 approximately
952 people who became homeless in Iowa listed their last permanent address in Black Hawk County.
In efforts to reduce homelessness in areas that can be effected by natural hazards, the Multi -
Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan includes and addresses physical attributes, the natural
environment, infrastructure and demographics of at risk areas. The Risk Assessment in the plan
identifies the hazards, hazard profiles and includes a vulnerability assessment. The Mitigation Strategy
includes hazard mitigation plan goals for area planning, current hazard mitigation activities and also
future mitigation activities to address these at risk populations.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an
increased risk of homelessness
Increasing housing costs create instability and over -crowding can lead to an increased risk in
homelessness in the local population. Focus group and community survey input has also identified that
lack of services related to transportation and child care can create an impediment to employment.
Additionally, limited access to mental health services and drug and alcohol addiction can also lead to
instability.

WATERLOO 36
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 258 of 546
Dilapidated housing in the city also contributes to a number of homeless individuals. Homes with leaking
roofs, furnaces that are not operational, windows that have rotted and homes that lack insulation are all
characteristics that lead to homelessness. As the housing stock ages the affordable homes become
harder and harder to maintain. As repairs and maintenance become impossible the home is often
abandon and the occupants must seek alternative housing. This is a growing problem in our community
as the City has exercised Iowa's 657A laws that allow the city to put an injunction on the owner requiring
them to correct code violations or eliminate the violation. Most of the structures are abandon and
owners do not comply. These structures end up being demolished due to the health and safety
hazards.
Discussion
While the median income in the Consortium has increased by 38%, almost half of the households (42%)
earn less than 80% HAMFI. Overall, approximately 23% of all households are experiencing 30% cost
burden, while 13% of households are experiencing cost burdens of 50%. Persons that are experience
cost burdens are more susceptible to homelessness.

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems - 91.405, 91.205
(b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to
the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
HUD defines a disproportionately greater housing need when a racial or ethnic group experiences
housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than for the income level as a whole. The
2011-2015 CHAS data table below summarizes the percentage of each racial/ethnic group experiencing
housing problems by HUD Adjusted Median Family Income (AMFI) levels. Housing problems include:
• Housing units lacking complete kitchen facilities and/or complete plumbing facilities
• Overcrowding (more than one person per room)
• Cost burden greater than 30%
Income classifications are as follows: 0%-30% AMFI is considered extremely low-income, 31%-50% AMI
is low-income, 51%-80% AMI is moderate -income, and 81%-100% is middle -income.
The following racial/ethnic household groups experienced disproportionately greater need, for both
renters and owners combined, as exemplified by housing problems:
• Black households: low income
• Asian households: low and moderate income
• American Indian/Alaska Native: moderate income
• Hispanic: moderate and middle income
The information is summarized in the following table based on the subsequent tables using a variety of
Census data, including CHAS data. The data reflects the HOME Consortium as whole.

Table 17 - Summary Table: Population with One or More Housing Problem
Discussion
Overall trends show that all minorities are more likely to experience disproportionately greater needs
with housing problems and the trend is seen in the low and moderate income distributions. The majority
of disproportionate need is with low-income populations, which includes Black and Asian households,
and with moderate -income households, which includes Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, and
Hispanic households. More minority households are experiencing greater needs in the moderate income
range than had previously been identified. Waterloo also experiences racial minorities in racial
concentrations by census track, which shows that neighborhood level of engagement with those
communities is needed when working to provide safe and affordable housing opportunities but also
when providing resources to improve situations. The demographics of the Consortium are changing it is
important to consider how housing issues and cost burdens may be impacting minority populations,
especially since many are recent arrivals to the area and may lack English language skills in addition to
other needs.

91.205 (b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to
the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
HUD defines a disproportionately greater housing need when a racial or ethnic group experiences
housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than for the income level as a whole. The
distinction between housing problems and severe housing problems is the degree of cost burden and
overcrowding. Severe housing problems include:
• Housing units lacking complete kitchen facilities and/or complete plumbing facilities
• Overcrowding (more than 1.5 person per room)
• Cost burden greater than 50%
Income classifications are as follows: 0%-30% AMFI is considered extremely low-income, 31%-50% AMI
is low-income, 51%-80% AMI is moderate -income, and 81%-100% is middle -income.
Based on the above definitions, the following household types experienced disproportionately greater
housing needs in Waterloo/Cedar Falls:
• Asian households: low and moderate income
• Hispanic: extremely low, low, moderate and middle income
The information is summarized in the following table based on the subsequent tables using a variety of
Census data, including CHAS data. The data reflects the Consortium as a whole.

Table 22 - Summary Table: Severe Housing Problems by Race
Discussion
Asian households are experiencing disproportionate greater need with severe housing problems at low
and moderate income levels. Hispanic households are seeing severe housing needs across all area
median income levels. This is an increased change compared to the trends seen in the previous
Consolidated Plan. There is continued need to provide affordable housing for both renters and
homeowners in both communities.

(b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to
the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
HUD defines a disproportionately greater housing need when a racial or ethnic group experiences
housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than for the income level as a whole. The
table below summarizes the percentage of each racial/ethnic group experiencing housing cost burden.
Racial/ethnic groups are subdivided into the percentage of each racial/ethnic group paying less than
30% (no cost burden), between 31%-50% (cost burden), and above 51% (severely cost burden) of their
gross income on housing costs. The column labeled no/negative income is the population paying 100%
of their gross income on housing costs. This, however, is assuming that these households have housing
costs.
Based on this definition, the following household types experienced disproportionately greater housing
cost burdens in Waterloo/Cedar Falls:
• Black/African American and American Indian/Alaska Native households with housing cost
burden paying over 51%
• Asian households with household cost burden between 31-50%
• Pacific Islander households with household burden paying less than 30%
This information is summarized from the HUD CHAS data from 2011-2015 in the table below. The data
reflects the HOME Consortium as a whole.

Different minority groups continue to experience greater housing cost burdens. There is continued need
in providing assistance to low income households and there should be efforts to ensure minority
communities are made aware of these opportunities, especially when language barriers and access can
limit access to those services.

Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately
greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole?
Overall, Asian, African -American, and Hispanic households appear to have a disproportionately greater
need for affordable housing compared to other racial or ethnic groups based on the 2011-2015 CHAS
data. The following is an overall summary of the disproportionately greater needs in the
Waterloo/Cedar Falls HOME Consortium:
Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems
• Black households: low income
• Asian households: low and moderate income
• American Indian/Alaska Native: moderate income
• Hispanic: moderate and middle income
Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems
• Asian households: low and moderate income
• Hispanic: extremely low, low, moderate and middle income
Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burden
• Black/African American and American Indian/Alaska Native households with housing cost
burden paying over 51%
• Asian households with household cost burden between 31-50%
• Pacific Islander households with household burden paying less than 30%
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs?
The needs have been identified above.
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your
community?
Low Moderate Income Areas
The LMI percentage required for CDBG eligibility is 51% of residents. In the past, HUD has granted an
"exception criterion" lower than 51% for Cedar Falls due to the City's shortage of LMI areas but Cedar
Falls did not have an exception criterion in FFY18. According to HUD's FY18 estimates, Cedar Falls has an
LMI population of 14,295 people, or 42.51% of the population. Of the 29 block groups with residential

development completely or mostly located in Cedar Falls, 8 block groups are considered LMI. The same
HUD estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population.
Waterloo
HUD defines areas of racial or ethnic minority concentration as geographical areas where the
percentage of minorities or ethnic persons is 10% higher than in the city overall. Waterloo has several
census tracts that meet the criteria for areas of racial concentration, which is when a single
minority/ethnic group exceeds at least 10% of the group's citywide average, as racial minorities
comprised 23.8% of the population. In Waterloo, an area of racial concentration includes the Census
tracts where the percentage of minority residents is 33.8% or higher. Those census tracts include 1, 2, 3,
5, 7, 9, 17.01, 17.02, 18, 19, and all those census tracts are included in the Consolidated Urban
Revitalization Area (CURA). Census tracts 7, 8, and 11 are considered areas of concentration for Hispanic
or Latinos. Census tract 3 shows an area of concentration for Asians, census tract 7 has a concentration
of other races, while census tracts 1, 2, 5, 7, 17.01, 17.02, 18, and 19 are shown to be areas of racial
concentration for Blacks/African-Americans.
Cedar Falls
No Census tract has a "concentration" of specific racial or ethnic minorities according to HUD's
definition (10 percentage points higher than the citywide percentage). However, Census tract 23.04
(College Hill area) has the highest percentage of racial and ethnic minorities (11.8% and 4.0%,
respectively, compared to 7.1% and 2% citywide). In Cedar Falls, racial and ethnic minorities comprised
7.1% and 2% of the population, respectively. Therefore, an area of racial or ethnic concentration
includes the Census tracts where the percentage of minority residents is at or above 17.1% or 12%,
respectively. Cedar Falls contains 9 census tracts, 7 of which are fully within the City limits, and two of
which have most residential development within the City limits. Of these 9 Census tracts, none met the
criteria for racial or ethnic concentration.

Introduction
There are two agencies that provide assisted rental housing in Waterloo and Cedar Falls: the Waterloo Housing Authority owns and manages a
50-unit senior public housing facility known as Ridgeway Towers as well as operating a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. The City of
Cedar Falls operates a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, but currently there are no public housing units in Cedar Falls.
The table on the following page, provided by the HUD IDIS system, reflects the public housing data submitted to HUD. The data was also
reviewed and updated by local staff to reflect the most current data (DATE) on the public housing units available in Waterloo and the Section 8
Housing Choice Vouchers in Waterloo and Cedar Falls.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants
on the waiting list for accessible units:
Waterloo Housing Authority
The Waterloo Housing Authority manages Ridgeway Towers, a 50-unit facility, which is currently the
only public housing facility in the Consortium. The Waterloo Housing Authority conducts regular
maintenance of the facility but does not expect any Section 504 modifications or improvements at the
facility. Currently there are 50 units filled at Ridgeway Towers and all 50 are requesting some sort of
disability accommodation. 23 of the residents at Ridgeway Towers are disabled, while 48 are elderly.
The Waterloo Housing Authority had in 2013, 1108 applicants for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
Program. As of January, 2019, the waitlist in Waterloo for Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers had been
reduced to 882 households. The majority of those on the waitlist (79%) have extremely low -incomes and
families with children and persons with disabilities represent the largest types of populations.
Cedar Falls
Cedar Falls as of 2013 had 433 applicants, while the December 2018 waitlist consists of 337 households.
Currently, Cedar Falls has placed a moratorium on new applicants in order to best assist those that are
currently awaiting assistance. Currently small families and households with disabilities represent the
largest types of populations on the waitlist. Extremely low-income households (74%) represent the
largest income bracket on the waitlist.
What are the number and type of families on the waiting lists for public housing and section 8
tenant -based rental assistance? Based on the information above, and any other information
available to the jurisdiction, what are the most immediate needs of residents of public
housing and Housing Choice voucher holders?
Cedar Falls
Extremely low-income households comprise 74% of the waiting list, with 54% of the total being small
families. White households make up 50% of the waitlist, while Black households represent 45% of the
waitlist and comprise the largest minority group on the waitlist. One -bedroom units have the largest
demand at 42%, followed by two -bedroom units. This shows that there is a continued need for
affordable units for extremely low-income households with smaller units (one to two -bedrooms).
Details of Cedar Falls Section 8 voucher holders and families on the waiting list appear in the following
table.

WATERLOO 55

Waterloo
In Waterloo, 79% of the persons on the waitlist consist of extremely low income households, while
families with children represent 44% and households and persons with disabilities represent 34% of
those on the waitlist. Black households at 53% represent the largest minority on the waitlist, while
White households represent 41% of the waitlist. One -bedroom units represent 61% of the bedroom size
requested by applicants. The waitlist shows that there is continued demand for affordable units by
households with extremely low-income households for smaller units.
Details of Waterloo Section 8 voucher holders and families on the waiting list appear in the following
table.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large
The housing needs of the Section 8 Voucher Holder Waiting Lists for both communities reflect the
housing needs in both communities. The households with extremely low incomes, families with children,
and families and individuals with disabilities have the highest need for affordable housing in both
communities. In both communities, smaller units, specifically one- and two -bedroom units represent the
largest need, but also reflect the types of housing most renters currently reside in Waterloo and Cedar
Falls.
Discussion
Extremely low income households represent over 70% of those on the waitlist awaiting Section 8
Housing Vouchers in the Consortium. Due to the demand and lack of available units, Cedar Falls
currently has a moratorium on adding persons to their waitlist while they work on assisting those
currently awaiting assistance. More affordable housing units in the Consortium would help reduce wait
times. Decreasing funding and rising rental costs result in the ability to assist fewer families which still
remain the primary cause of the long waitlists. Feedback provided by the Waterloo Housing Authority
staff noted that there is a severe lack of housing for young disabled persons, and those with disabilities
represent 30% of those on the waitlist and there are no affordable rentals in Waterloo, particularly
rentals to accommodate those with disabilities.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment - 91.405, 91.205 (c)
Introduction:
The Black Hawk County Local Homeless Coordinating Board (LHCB) is part of the Iowa Balance of State Continuum of Care (BoS CoC), which
provides funding for agencies and organizations in the BoA CoC servicing homeless persons and families. According to the 2018 Point -In -Time
survey, which was conducted county wide and encompassed both Cedar Falls and Waterloo, there were 69 homeless persons, and there were
11 additional persons in permanent housing. The 2017 Point -In -Time survey identified 94 homeless persons, with an additional 13 persons in
permanent housing, which shows that there has been a drop in the homeless population of Black Hawk County. The report does not report on
any chronically homeless persons identified in Black Hawk County. Chronically homeless individuals are those who have a disabling condition and
have been continually homeless for at least one year or have experienced at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years.
If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of
days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically
homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth):
No data is available for the BoS CoC for Black Hawk County to describe these categories for each homeless population type.
The most common mainstream benefit currently received by participants at program exist is SNAP food assistance, followed by Medicaid,
Medicare, or VA health benefits. These sources of benefits continue to provide critical support to existing participants. The challenge continues
to ensure that assistance is maintained for such a large group of beneficiaries.

2 persons who were unsheltered but did not provide additional information regarding family status or
race/ethnicity. The Iowa Institute for Community Alliances does track demographic data at the state
level but not at the county level.

Discussion:
While there has been a drop in the number of homeless persons identified in the Point -In -Time survey
from 2017 to 2018, according to the 2018 Waterloo Housing Needs Assessment in 2016 approximately
952 people who became homeless in Iowa listed their last permanent address in Black Hawk County.

Additionally, the community surveys and focus groups have identified that there is need for the
homeless shelters and services and that associated services, such as mental health services, drug and
addiction services, affordable housing, removal of barriers to employment, and improved employment
opportunities are equally important. In order to continue to reduce the rates of homelessness, all those
factors must be continually address and programs and service needs will continue to require support.

NA-45 Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.405, 91.205 (b,d)
Introduction
Due to the limited amount of funds that each city receives annually for housing and community
development initiatives and the increase in community needs and costs, it continues to be difficult for
the Consortium to fund non -homeless special needs projects. Additional resources are available at the
federal, state, and local levels that can be utilized by area organizations for additional assistance
towards affordable housing and supportive services to the non -homeless special needs population in
Waterloo and Cedar Falls. Waterloo and Cedar Falls rely on area non-profit organizations to provide
many services to the non -homeless special needs populations. Both cities will continue to support the
efforts of organizations that provide housing and supportive services to non -homeless special needs
individuals.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
The elderly and frail elderly, persons with severe mental illness, developmentally disabled, physically
disabled, persons with alcohol/drug addictions, public housing residents, victims of domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault and stalking, and persons living with HIV/AIDS are considered special
needs populations. Many persons with special needs also have very low incomes and supportive housing
is needed within the communities in order to better serve these persons as they are unable to otherwise
undertake activities of daily living without assistance.
Elderly and Frail Elderly
Housing for the elderly continues to be an ongoing need. According to the 2016 ACS data, 18.7% of the
Waterloo population was 62 years or older, while in Cedar Falls 15.4% of the population was elderly.
One of the issues faced by the elderly population is that 60% of those that at 65 or older are
experiencing at least one disability. Housing needs for the elderly must account for disability needs,
which add to housing costs.
Persons with Mental, Physical, and/or Other Developmental Disabilities
Not all persons with disabilities require supportive housing, but those that are unable to live with
supportive family or are in need of help in basic life activities often require modifications to their living
spaces that meet ADA standards and remove physical barriers. According to the 2016 ACS data, amongst
the civilian non -institutionalized populations, 12.5% reported a disability in Waterloo and 8.3% in Cedar
Falls. In Waterloo, 5.5% of people under 18 years old, 21.6% of people 18 to 64 years old, and 61.4% of
those 65 and over had a disability. In Cedar Falls, 4.4% of people under 18 years old, 12.6% of people 18
to 64 years old, and 60.3% of those 65 or older had a disability.
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 61

Page 283 of 546
There is continued need for affordable accessible housing and support activities that provide resources
necessary to make improvements to their homes. Persons with disabilities are a subpopulation with high
priority needs and along with the elderly and frail elderly, are given Section 8 preference. Funding has
been dedicated in past years to support agencies that serve persons with disabilities and plan to
continue this assistance.
Persons with Alcohol/Drug Addictions
Pathways Behavioral Services provides outpatient counseling and residential treatments for clients in
recovery from alcohol and/or drug addiction. The agency treated 3,497 clients in 2018 through their
outpatient programs. They provided treatment to 202 clients through their residential program. The
residential and outpatient programs can have a waitlist from 1 day to up to two weeks at a time.
Persons with HIV/AIDS and their Families
The Iowa Department of Public Health's Iowa Comprehensive HIV Plan 2017-2021 serves as a statewide
guide to responsive, effective, and efficient HIV service delivery in Iowa. The Iowa HIV Disease End -of -
Year 2017 Surveillance report provides an end of the year report on demographic data, which identified
110 persons in Black Hawk County as diagnosed with HIV/AIDS as of December 31st, 2017.
Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking
Cedar Valley Friends of the Family provides safe shelter, confidential services, and housing assistance to
individuals in crisis due to homelessness, domestic violence, and sexual assault. In 2017, Cedar Valley
Friends of the Family sheltered 72 women and 77 children from Black Hawk County at their 21 shelter
facility and provided additional emergency sheltering through hotels to 62 women and 75 children from
Black Hawk County, while the awaited for shelter availability.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these
needs determined?
The non -homeless special needs populations in Waterloo and Cedar Falls have a wide range of service
needs, including transitional housing, supportive housing, affordable housing, transportation to
employment and health care providers, childcare assistance, counseling services (including financial and
legal counseling), care managements, and education services, from labor skills, financial literacy,
homebuyer education and similar services. Data and information for both communities were provided
from responses from surveys and focus groups of organizations and agencies that serve these special
needs populations, which were then analyzed to determine the priority of needs related to housing and
supportive service needs.
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 62
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 284 of 546
Several priorities identified were common across the various subcategories of special needs populations.
The need for affordable safe and sanitary housing was one such need, but so were transportation to
employment and service, employment that provides livable wages, child care, and counseling services.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within
the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
According to the State of Iowa HIV Disease End -of -Year 2017 Surveillance Report, an annual report
released by the Iowa Department of Public Health, as of December 31, 2017, there were 100 residents
of Black Hawk County currently living with diagnosed HIV/AIDS disease. The Iowa Department of Public
Health currently provides data at the county level, which includes both cities as well as surrounding rural
communities. The community survey identified that services for persons with HIV/AIDS were a low
priority, but the community feedback may reflect that there is little community education and outreach
on the service needs for persons with HIV/AIDS and their families.
Discussion:
Public services continue to be an important community need across all special needs populations and
service needs include a wide variety, from housing, to counseling services, transportation and child care,
access to employment, education, in addition to other public services. Due to the community needs and
the wide spectrum of services, Waterloo and Cedar Falls work closely with non-profit organizations that
provide these services in order to ensure needs are met.

NA-50 Non -Housing Community Development Needs - 91.415, 91.215 (f)
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities:
For Waterloo and Cedar Falls, the non -housing community development needs are primarily public
infrastructure improvements and public facility improvements. In addition, both communities fund
some public agencies to provide services that can cover activities related to counseling, education, and
outreach related to services needed by the communities.
The public facility needs were determined through community wide surveys and consultation with
service provides and stakeholders.
Waterloo
Feedback from the community identified that homeless shelters and services were of a high priority, as
well as youth centers and activities, while improvements to parks recreational facilities were important
but not considered a high priority need.
Cedar Falls
Feedback from a community -wide survey indicated that the greatest public facility needs for Cedar Falls
residents are mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities, child care centers, homeless
shelters, and youth centers. Additional needs according to City staff and resident feedback include bus
shelter repairs and park, playground, and trail improvements.
How were these needs determined?
These needs were determined through focus groups with agencies, non-profit organizations, and other
stakeholders, interviews, community wide surveys, and feedback discussions with community
development staff members.
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements:
Infrastructure
Public infrastructure in both eligible areas in Waterloo and Cedar Falls remains inadequate and the
community and stakeholders provided input on the current infrastructure needs of the communities.
Waterloo
Community feedback identified cleanup of dilapidated lots and buildings, street improvements, street
lighting, and water and sewer improvements were identified as the highest needs. There is continued
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 64
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 286 of 546
need to clear vacant lots and eliminate dilapidated vacant structures from neighborhoods in order to
assist with slum and blight. General street improvements are also needed in low income neighborhoods,
not only with roadway infrastructure but also with improvements for all multi -modal users, including
pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit users, who may not have access to a car and find the associated
infrastructure lacking. There are low income neighborhoods in Waterloo surrounded by four lane
roadways that often create a physical barrier for people to enter and leave the neighborhood. The City
of Waterloo has adopted a Complete Streets policy, which ensures infrastructure improvements include
all types of users, but these types of infrastructure improvements will also assist in removing physical
barriers, improve safety and provide beautification to low-income neighborhoods. The lack of street
lighting in low income neighborhoods were identified as an issues, especially relating to safety concerns,
and ensuring neighborhood in Waterloo have enough lighting. Finally, the aging water and sewer
infrastructure was identified as another high need. In most cases, the aging infrastructure and extreme
weather events caused issues with the infrastructure and many households were impacted with the
associated costs due to sewer backups and flooding. All the proposed high priority needs are part of long
term goals for Waterloo.
Cedar Falls
Generally speaking, respondents to a community -wide survey perceived less need for infrastructure
improvements than for public facilities and services. The greatest infrastructure needs identified are
street and sidewalk improvements. The latter can be critical for LMI homeowners, who may not be able
to afford the improvements themselves. Additional needs identified by City staff — based on resident
feedback and quantitative data on infrastructure conditions and future capacity needs — include bridge
and culvert replacements, drainage improvements such as bio-swales and permeable alley paving, and
streetscaping improvements.
How were these needs determined?
These needs were determined through focus groups with agencies, non-profit organizations, and other
stakeholders, interviews, community wide surveys, and feedback discussions with community
development staff members.
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services:
Waterloo
The community survey and stakeholder focus groups identified services that assist with mental health,
children and youth, including neglected and abuse services targeted to children, crime prevention,
homeless needs, substance abuse needs and domestic violence, employment training, programs that

assist with financial literacy and planning as some of the highest priorities in Waterloo. There are other
needs, such as legal services, transportation, health services, and community services that were
identified as somewhat high need as well. Due to the scope of types of services and need in the
community, the city often works closely with service providers in order to be more effective with
assistance.
Cedar Falls
In tandem with the public facility needs identified by stakeholders, the greatest public service needs
include mental health and substance abuse treatment services; more child care options, especially
during evenings, weekends, and holidays; homeless assistance services, including more rapid re -housing
options, and youth programming. Additionally, more public transportation service, including more
routes and longer hours, was identified as a major need for LMI residents.
How were these needs determined?
These needs were determined through focus groups with agencies, non-profit organizations, and other
stakeholders, interviews, community wide surveys, and feedback discussions with community
development staff members.

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
The Consortium area has 43,113 occupied housing units. The number of housing units is comprised of
63.6% owner -occupied units and 36.4% rental units. A majority of the owner -occupied units have 3 or
more bedrooms (70.1%), while the majority of rental -occupied units have 2 bedrooms (43.0%). The
Waterloo/Cedar Falls area didn't experience the extreme housing boom and bust during before and
after the Great Recession. Cedar Falls single-family value in 2016 for permitted single — family homes
was at $219,367, while Waterloo had a home value of $151,048 rate in 2016. This pattern in home
valuation differences has been consistent within the previous 10 years between the two communities.
Home valuations in Cedar Falls and Waterloo have remained steady, with some fluxes over time.
Development of new homes for both Waterloo and Cedar Falls has predominately taken place on
greenfield sites, with little new development focused on infill lots. In Waterloo, many of the available
infill sites are located in areas with extremely low property values, often lower than the cost of a new
single-family home, causing lending difficulties for those that would like to construct in infill lots. Iowa
Heartland Habitat for Humanity and a few projects through Hawkeye Community College are filling the
gap in those infill locations. By utilizing non -profits to provide construction of single family homes, it may
be possible to improve the land value in the infill areas and lead to better lending assistance for future
infill construction.
In Cedar Falls, infill lots are not common and pressure and demands mean that single family homes are
sold to investors who can realize a higher rate of return by converting homes into multiple rental units.
Recently, Cedar Falls provided an incentive for buyers who would convert rental properties back into
single family homes in certain areas. In Cedar Falls, the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) has impacted
the rental market due to student demands for off -campus housing, which artificially inflates the
surrounding off -campus rental market, making it more difficult for non -student households to located
affordable rental housing. Since 2011, Cedar Falls has permitted 435 new multi -family units since 2011,
with 78 new multi -family units were permitted in 2016.
Cost of Housing
The average median value of a single family home in Cedar Falls was $160,700 in 2006 and in 2016 was
$171,400, which is an increase of 6.2%.
Waterloo housing has experienced a 4.1% increase in the median housing value since 2006. The median
value of a home was $102,400 in 2006 and increased to $106,800 in 2016.

Lead -Based Paint Hazard
The Iowa Department of Public Health has recently provided a statewide map identifying lead paint
hazard risk at the census tract level. The data has identified one Cedar Falls census tract as having high
lead risk and sixteen census tracts in Waterloo as having high risk. Approximately 80% of housing units
in Waterloo that are > 80% AMI are considered to have lead -based paint. In Cedar Falls, it is estimated
that 56% of housing units that are >80% AMI are considered to have lead -based paint hazards.
Public and Assisted Housing
Waterloo Housing Authority through Ridgeway Towers, a subsidized apartment complex, provides a 50-
unit senior public housing facility. The City of Cedar Falls administers 326 Section 8 Housing Choice
vouchers, but due to funding allocations, only 205 are currently being utilized. The majority of Cedar
Falls Housing Choice voucher recipients are located at Thunder Ridge Senior Apartments and The
Villages / Park@Nine23 (formerly known as College Square Village). These developments were
constructed with Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) financing.

91.210(a)&(b)(2)
Introduction
Waterloo and Cedar Falls continue to add new units to the existing housing stock, though Cedar Falls is
experiencing more new single-family and multi -family building construction growth than Waterloo.
Waterloo
In 2016, Waterloo permitted 88 new single-family homes, 6 duplex units, and 12 multi -family buildings.
This is the largest number of building permits issues in Waterloo since 2006. Between 2007 and 2012,
Waterloo had experienced a downtown in the number of permits issued, reaching about half of the
previously issues permits between 2010 and 2011. Since 2012, Waterloo experienced steady growth in
the number of permits issued. The largest number of building permit type issued in Waterloo has been
for single family homes, but there has been a steady growth in permits issued for multi -family buildings
in the last four years. Waterloo has also seen consistent construction of duplex units and there were
previously tri- and four-plex units permitted, though the numbers have dropped to zero since 2011.
Overall, housing types tend to have a large variety in Waterloo.
Waterloo had 31,233 housing units in 2016, which was slightly higher from 2010, when Waterloo was
estimated to have 31,157 housing units. Vacant housing units were at 2,497 in 2010 and rose to 2,627 in
2016, approximately a 5% increase in vacancy. In 2016, rental vacancy rates were at 8.7%, while
homeowner vacancy rates were at 1.8%.
In Waterloo, in 2010 there were 9,482 renter occupied units, which increased to 10,542 units in 2016.
During the same period, owner -occupied units declined from 19,178 in 2010 to 18,064 in 2016.
Cedar Falls
In 2016, Cedar Falls permitted 151 single-family homes and 78 multi -family homes. The number of
permits is consistent with the number of permits issued in 2006. Between 2007 and 2010 no multi-
family permits were issued, but as of 2011, 435 multi -family units were permitted. Single-family housing
permits have remained steady and there was little impact from the recession on the single family
housing construction in Cedar Falls. Unlike Waterloo, Cedar Falls has predominantly permitted single
family homes and multi -family units, with on 16 tri- or four-plex units permitted in the 10 year period
between 2006 and 2016.
Cedar Falls had 15,594 total housing units in 2016, while in 2010 the total housing units were 14,762,
which is a 5.3% increase in housing units. Vacant housing units were 784 in 2010, and rose to 1,087 units
in 2016, which is a 28% increase in the housing vacancy. In 2016, rental vacancies were at 6%, while
homeowner vacancy rates were at 2%.

2006 to 2016 and includes a variety of building structures permitted. In 2016, Waterloo permitted 88
new single-family homes, 6 duplex units, and 12 multi -family buildings. This is the largest number of
building permits issues in Waterloo since 2006. In 2016, Cedar Falls permitted 151 single-family homes
and 78 multi -family homes, which is on trend with previous years. Overall, Cedar Falls continues to
permit approximately 1.5 times more units that Waterloo in 2016. While Waterloo issues permits to a
variety of building types, Cedar Falls, continues to permit primarily single-family and multi -family
units. The larger number of multi -family units permitted in Cedar Falls is most likely due to the location
of the University of Northern Iowa, though, multi -family buildings are being developed in the downtown
area.

According to the 2018 Housing Needs Assessment, HUD subsidized housing continues to serve a vital
need in the community, especially for seniors and people with disabilities. Due to low incomes and the
limited tax base on Waterloo, there will be continued need for affordable housing in the city.
HUD funded housing projects continue to serve the needs of the community. Federal HOME and CDBG
funds, as well as Healthy Homes and Lead -Paint Hazard program funds will continue to play an
important role in completing Waterloo's objectives. The three year Lead -Paint Hazard Grant from HUD
continues to allow Waterloo to partner with the Black Hawk County Health Department for conducting
blood lead level testing and conducting assessments for both owner occupied and rental properties,
clearance testing, training events, and educational outreach. Additionally, the City of Waterloo will
continue to partner with local agencies and non -profits in order to improve neighborhood conditions
and improve existing housing stock and improve the housing market conditions.
Cedar Falls
Cedar Falls currently receives CDBG funds from HUD and HOME funds through the Waterloo and Cedar
Falls HOME Consortium. The funding sources will utilized to help support new programs focused on
housing rehabilitation, new affordable housing projects, home buyer assistance programs, and homeless
outreach and prevention programs.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for
any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
Cedar Falls has five (5) privately owned, subsidized developments:
The Villages (formerly known as College Square Village). This is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)
development built in two phases, 64 units each, serving elderly and disabled households. The Villages
are part of a larger complex of apartment buildings known as Park@Nine23, which includes market -rate
apartments as well. Both phases of The Villages are nearing the end of their 30-year affordability period,
with rent restrictions for Villages I and II expiring in 2021 and 2025, respectively.
Thunder Ridge Senior Apartments. This is a 42-unit Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) development
built in two phases, serving elderly households. The affordability restrictions will expire in 2042.
Cedar Square Family Housing. This is a 70-unit Project -Based Section 8 development serving income -
qualified households from the general population. Its Section 8 contract with HUD is subject to renewal
every 5 years. The current contract expires on 8/31/2020, but is anticipated to be renewed by the
property owner.
Horizon Towers. This is a 40-unit Project -Based Section 8 development serving elderly households. The
current 5-year contract expires on 4/30/2019, but is anticipated to be renewed by the property owner.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?
Waterloo
According to the 2018 Housing Needs Assessment, HUD CHAS data shows that while housing in
Waterloo continues to have lower median values than those for the state of Iowa, there are severe cost
burdened households throughout Waterloo, due to low wages. In addition, the 2018 Housing Needs
Assessment identified that Waterloo has extensive substandard housing, which exceeds the available
resources that target rehabilitation improvements needed. Affordable rental units tend to be low quality
and located in less desirable neighborhoods and there is need for subsidized rentals that are available
for seniors and people with disabilities.
Cedar Falls
In Cedar Falls, there continues to be a tight housing market and few opportunities for infill development
sites. This is resulting in increased rental and sale rates for properties, leading to an increasingly
unaffordable housing market.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
Waterloo and Cedar Falls have two different housing markets. In the past Waterloo was less expensive
and had more renter -occupied housing, while the Cedar Falls housing market was more expensive and
tended to be more owner -occupied. In 2016, Waterloo continues to have a less expensive housing
market, while Cedar Falls has a more expensive housing market. Both communities show similar
proportions of renters to homeowners in 2016, with renters making up 35.4% of the Cedar Falls housing
market and Waterloo 36.9% of their respective housing market. The difference is that tenants in
Waterloo tend to be more low-income, while a large proportion of the Cedar Falls renters are students.
Still, both communities need to provide more affordable housing, as increased housing costs in Cedar
Falls, are increasing home prices, and in Waterloo low wages are leading to severe costs burdened
households. Additionally, there is a continued need for senior housing as well as housing for people with
disabilities in both communities. Waterloo has a lot of vacant lots in low-income neighborhoods but due
to the cost of construction and low property value of those neighborhoods, there is little demand for
infill development. In Cedar Falls, there are fewer infill sites, and more development is in greenfield
sites, which lead to additional costs related to new infrastructure costs, increasing new construction
costs.

While new construction is taking place in the Consortium, the majority is located in Cedar Falls, and the
newer construction is generally not affordable housing. Waterloo is experiencing an increase in rental
units and in 2016 the rental vacancy was at 8.7% but there continues to not be enough affordable
housing to meet the needs of the community. In Cedar Falls, while there are new single family and
multi -family units being constructed, they are not affordable.

Introduction
The Waterloo/Cedar Falls area didn't experience the extreme housing boom and bust that impacted the
majority of the country, before and after the recession. Home values did not experience the fast run-up
and there was not a steep crash in home values or high rates of foreclosures in the area. Home values in
both Cedar Falls and Waterloo are continuing to experience a steady increase, at 20% and 17%
respectively. The 2016 average home sales price in Waterloo was $106,800 and in Cedar Falls it was
$171,400.
Cost of Housing
The median home values in both Cedar Falls and Waterloo have increased in the last 16 years, with a
20% increase for Cedar Falls and a 17% increase for Waterloo. The rates reflect similar patterns in
increases in median home value as seen between 2000 and 2010, showing the trend remains consistent.
Cedar Falls, has a median home value of $171,400, while Waterloo, the median home value was at
$106,800, showing that home values continue to differ in the two communities. The cost of housing
continues to show a steady increase in both communities.
Median contract rents have continued to increase in both communities since 2000, in Waterloo
increasing by 6%, while in Cedar Falls is has increased by 15%. Both communities have seen a large
increase in rents, showing that rentals are becoming more expensive in both communities.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
Affordable housing in both communities is limited and housing costs increases are outpacing income
growth. In Waterloo, the housing stock is older and while affordable when compared to Cedar Falls, the
housing cost burdens are increasing, especially for minorities, and there has been an increase in those
considered to be experiencing severe cost burden. Half of all renters and a third of all homeowners are
considered to be cost burdened. When compared to previous analysis from 2012, the amount of
population has remained steady. In Cedar Falls, housing affordability continues to be an issue for low
income households as landlords often rent properties at rates much higher than fair market rents due to
the location and impact of the University. While different issues are at play, both communities are
experiencing a need for more affordable units.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or
rents?
In Waterloo, there are existing vacant lots available for infill development, but many of these properties
are located in neighborhoods with high rates of poverty and surrounding property values are
significantly lower than the cost of any new construction. Lending for the development of these
properties is very difficult and a cooperative effort with neighborhood groups, non-profit agencies, and
the City of Waterloo are key to fill the gap and improve development in infill properties. Efforts are
ongoing to improve infill redevelopment, with a multi -pronged effort to provide new and rehabilitated
housing in targeted areas and also improve the surrounding neighborhood market value in order make
redevelopment in those key areas more sustainable and favorable to market conditions.
In Cedar Falls, housing costs are impacted by the lack of available infill development. New greenfill
development is associated with higher infrastructure costs, which often translate to higher costs for the
homebuyer. With the steady grown in housing cost, it would be important that the city ensure that
affordable housing is retained and that incentives are provided for new construction housing to provide
affordable housing. There are more multi -family units being constructed, but many are either targeted
to University students or to those in higher income brackets and often offer amenities that associated
with higher costs. With the increased amount of development, especially with multi -family units, it may
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 77
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 299 of 546
be assumed that due to the large number of new units, that may not reflect the population growth in
Cedar Falls, units may be priced more competitively.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this
impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
The HOME rent and Fair Market Rents are comparable to the area median rents, which are $691 for
Cedar Falls and $568 for Waterloo. In Waterloo, 95% of rent is below $1000, with 63% of rent in the
range between $500 and $999. The majority of Waterloo renters rent two -bedroom units, which
according to Fair Market Rent should be $765, which is approximately the average of what most
Waterloo residents are paying. In Cedar Falls, 58% of renters pay between $500 and $999, while 19% of
renters pay below $500 and 15% of renters pay between $1000 and $1499. While rent is more
affordable in Waterloo compared to Cedar Falls, when accounting for housing cost burdens, there is
need for affordable rent in both communities. Renter median incomes are much lower than owner
incomes and significantly more renters are experiencing housing cost burdens. Additionally, there are
currently over 1,000 Section 8 Housing Choice voucher holders in Waterloo and over 300 in Cedar Falls,
with 882 persons on the Waterloo waiting list and 337 on the Cedar Falls waitlist, which currently has a
moratorium on new applications.
Discussion
While rents are comparable to the HOME and Fair Market Rents when overall trends are examined,
additional analysis shows that renters have higher cost burdens, showing that there is continued need
for affordable housing in both communities, especially as housing costs burdens for homeowners and
renters have changed little over time and may worsen over time.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing - 91.410, 91.210(a)
Introduction
There are differences in the quality of housing stock between Waterloo and Cedar Falls, which may not
be visible when examining consolidated Consortium data. In Waterloo, when examining the location of
older housing stock at the census tract levels, it often corresponds with areas that have high levels of
low- to moderate -income people and also areas of racial concentrations. When examined generally, the
trends become more generalized and not as obvious. Based on the 2016 American Community Survey
results, 84% of owner -occupied units in the Consortium are not selected as having any of the variables
considered as housing deficiencies. Housing deficiencies includes a lack of complete plumbing, lack of
complete kitchen facilities, overcrowding (more than one person per room), and cost burden greater
than 30%. In comparison, 50% of renter -occupied units identified either one or two or more of these
conditions. Make stakeholders commented that the quality of affordable housing is very poor and
substandard.
Describe the jurisdiction's definition for "substandard condition" and "substandard condition
but suitable for rehabilitation:
In the jurisdiction the following definitions apply:
Substandard condition: A dwelling unit that lacks one or more of the following: complete plumbing,
complete kitchen facilities, efficient and environmentally sound sewage removal and water supply, and
heating source. Additionally, the dwelling may be overcrowded as defined by local code.
Substandard but suitable for rehabilitation: A dwelling unit that fails to meet some aspect of HUD
Section 8 HQS, local building and residential codes, or both, but has all major systems present (including
plumbing, electrical, and heating systems). This unit is likely to have deferred maintenance and may
have some structural inadequacies such as a leaking roof, deteriorated interior surfaces, or inadequate
insulation. However, the unit can feasibly be brought up to "Standard" condition within a
comprehensive rehabilitation budget.
Year Unit Built
The majority of housing units built in Waterloo and Cedar Falls, including both owner -occupied and
renter -occupied housing, was constructed between 1950 and 1979. Since 2000, 12% of new housing was
owner occupied, while 7% was occupied by renters. When looking at building permits issues, Cedar Falls
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 79
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)

has the majority of new housing units, including multi -family units. Between 2006 and 2016, Waterloo
issued 979 new building permits (building types include single-family, duplex, tri- and four-plex, and
multi -family), while during the same time period, Cedar Falls issued 2379 building permits, showing that
a greater proportion of new housing was located in Cedar Falls.

Describe the need for owner and rental rehabilitation based on the condition of the
jurisdiction's housing.
Waterloo
In Waterloo, the community wide survey identified several neighborhood areas as having the greatest
need, which included the East Side neighborhoods along East 4th Street, Church Row, and the
neighborhoods near the former Rath Packing Company. These neighborhoods have aging homes, high
areas of poverty, and also include areas of racial concentrations. Overall, 15 out of 27 census tracts in
Waterloo, the majority which abut downtown on both side of the Cedar River and in the East Side have
concentrations of LMI households, are considered areas with racial concentrations, have the majority of
the older housing stocks, and have been identified by the Iowa Department of Health as areas of high
lead risk. The combination of all these factors play a role in the continued decline of these
neighborhoods and continued efforts needed to reduce slum and blight.

In Cedar Falls, the North Cedar neighborhood continues to be impacted by flooding and is an LMI census
block. The previously conducted Cedar Falls Comprehensive Plan reviewed housing conditions, and
identified that older neighborhoods in the city were some of the few areas where there was
deteriorating housing stock.
The Cedar Falls 2020 Strategic Plan identified neighborhoods that could part of revitalizations plans,
including North Cedar, College Hill, and Overman Park. This includes efforts in providing high density
housing in North Cedar, which has lost a lot of population due to consecutive flooding. The College Hill
neighborhood is around the University of Northern Iowa's campus, and has high concentrations of rental
units, both multi -family and single family homes, which tend to be in poorer condition, and may include
many illegally converted multi -family units.
Estimate the number of housing units within the jurisdiction that are occupied by low or
moderate income families that contain lead -based paint hazards. 91.205(e), 91.405
Current estimates show that in the HOME Consortium there are 2,705 owner occupied units built before
1980 where there are children below the age of 6, while there are 2,068 renter occupied units with
children below the age of 6. This shows that both owner occupied and rental both have need for lead
paint hazard remediation. The Iowa Department of Health has identified one Cedar Falls census tract
and 16 census tracts in Waterloo with high lead risks. Approximately 80% of housing units in Waterloo
that are > 80% AMI are considered to have lead based paint. In Cedar Falls, it is estimated that 56% of
housing units that are >80% AMI are considered to have lead -based paint hazards.

Using data provided by HUD, it is possible to estimate using approximations for the number of housing
units that may contain lead -based paint and are occupied by LMI households. Households that are LMI
are often cost -burdened, and may not have funds available to abate their home from lead -paint
hazards. Additionally, renters may not be aware of the lead -paint hazard on their property and they may
not be aware that lead -pain is a hazard and that the landlord should provide notice when it is known
that there is lead paint in the property.
In Cedar Falls, it is estimated that <50% AMI of occupied units, 69% are estimated to have lead -paint,
while 75% of occupied units that have >50% to 80% AMI households have lead paint.
The Iowa Department of Public Health has also created a state wide mapping project to identify areas of
high risk from lead -paint hazards. The areas are identified by census tract. The model uses several
variables to determine lead risk, which include housing built before 1950, poverty of children under 6,
and language other than English spoken at home. In general terms, one census tract (25) in Cedar Falls
shows high risk, while the remaining census tracts show moderate risk. In Waterloo, 16 census tracts are
identified as having a high lead risk.
Discussion
Overall, about 16% of owner -occupied units have at least one condition, while 50% of rentals have at
least one or more condition issues in the Consortium. The majority of all housing, both rental (75%) and
owner -occupied (76%), were built before 1979, showing that the housing infrastructure aging.
Additionally the age of rental properties combined with the amount of units experiencing condition
issues, reflects that there is need for safer and sanity rental units.
The community wide survey that Waterloo conducted reflects that Waterloo residents considered lead
based hazards a low community need. Data provided in the analysis indicates that Waterloo continues
to have high lead -paint hazards, in part due to the aging housing infrastructure and higher rates of
poverty that makes it harder for property owners to make their properties lead -safe. In addition, high
rates of renters, including many who may not speak English as a first language, may not be aware of lead
paint hazards. Waterloo was awarded the Lead Paint Hazard grant from HUD, which will target 120 units
and includes both owner -occupied and rental units, with work beginning in 2018. There is continued
need to education and conduct outreach to the community regarding the hazards of lead paint and to
provide assistance to both homeowners and renters with lead paint hazard abatement.
2017 ACS data shows 74.3% of households in Waterloo currently have a broadband internet
subscription. This data supports that households in Waterloo are equipped with broadband capabilities.
Mediacom the largest internet supplier to the city will provide services to make homes capable of
receiving internet when purchased through Mediacom. Mediacom will provide wiring, and modems to
make internet access easier to all customers.

MA-25 Public And Assisted Housing - 91.410, 91.210(b)
Introduction
Waterloo only has one public housing facility that is operated by the Housing Authority. Cedar Falls currently does not have any public housing
facilities. Both Waterloo and Cedar Falls provide housing assistance through Section 8 voucher programs.
Waterloo Housing Authority
The Waterloo Housing Authority currently issues 1056 vouchers, though current funding does not support all available vouchers. The Waterloo
Housing Authority also provides housing units through Ridgeway Towers, a 50-unit senior subsidized public housing apartment complex.
Ridgeway Towers consists of 48 one bedroom units and 2 two bedroom units and only public housing facility owned by the Waterloo Housing
Authority. The facility includes 5 one bedroom units that provide amenities for persons with mobility impairments, and 3 units are also designed
for those persons who are seeing- or hearing -impaired. Additional eligibility requirements for tenants of Ridgeway Towers include a minimum
age of 62 years, as set by HUD. Tenants must be able to pay 30% of their monthly income (after medical expenses are accounted and income is
adjusted). There are no additional criteria for tenants. Units include utilities, except for phone and cable, and there are certain health services
and exercise programs provided on site for tenants.
Cedar Falls Low Rent Housing Agency
Cedar Falls does not have any public housing units.
The Cedar Falls Low Rent Housing Authority administers 326 Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8 vouchers), of which 205 (63%) are currently in
use. The lease -up goal is 240 vouchers, based on available funding. The waiting list currently has 337 households, and was closed in August 2018
to allow the Housing Authority to better to serve households already on the waitlist. Many of the vouchers expire within 120 days of issuance
because voucher holders are unable to find rental units within the payment standards with landlords willing to rent to Section 8 holders. To
expand the pool of units available to voucher holders, the Housing Authority increased the payment standard for 0 to 4-bedroom units to 110%
in October 2018, up from 89% - 92%. The payment standard for units with more than 4 bedrooms was set to 100%.
The main barriers to finding housing for HCV holders in Cedar Falls are high rents, negative perceptions of HCV holders among landlords, and
competition from University of Northern Iowa student renters. The Housing Authority, Cedar Falls Housing Commission, and public participation

stakeholders have discussed measures to increase HCV program participation among landlords, including education, outreach, and maintaining a

Describe the number and physical condition of public housing units in the jurisdiction, including those that are participating in an
approved Public Housing Agency Plan:
The units at WHA had been previously rated at 96% in 2011 and 92% in 2014, and the most recent inspection score was lower due to changes in
management, so efforts are underway to improve the inspection score. WHA inspects each unit before it is put under a housing assistance
payment contract and an annual inspection is required to assure that the unit meets Housing Quality Standards (HQS). Ridgeway Towers
received a scope of 75.00 (out of 100) in 2017 from the HUD inspection.
In the City of Cedar Falls, many HCV recipients use their vouchers at Thunder Ridge Senior Apartments and The Villages / Park@Nine23 (formerly
known as College Square Village). These developments were constructed with Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) financing. Since their rents
are already restricted to 50% - 60% AMI, the Housing Authority is able to stretch its funding further when recipients use their vouchers at these
developments.

Describe the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing units in the jurisdiction:
The Waterloo Housing Authority is moving forward with their Five -Year Capital Fund Program Action
Plan, which will be going through the public comment phase in early FY2019. The Capital Fund Program
has identified the following activities that are proposed to be completed in the next 5 years. The
activities include elevator upgrades, replacements of front interior entry doors, relocate or remove Call -
for -Aid units, add LED lighting in parking lot, remodel all apartment kitchens and community room,
landscaping updates including fencing, repair and replace the building roof.
Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low -
and moderate -income families residing in public housing:
The Waterloo Housing Authority provides several programs that provide assistance for improving the
living environment for residents. The programs include Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS), Down Payment
Assistance Program, Homeownership Assistance Program, and Veteran Assisted Supported Housing. In
addition to these programs, the Waterloo Housing Authority provides a variety of on -site basic health
screening and exercise programs for residents of Ridgeway Towers. Additional information on the
various programs is available below:
Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS)
The Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) program is targeted towards families that are both low-income and
receive housing assistance through Section 8. The program participants receive resources including
housing assistance, an escrow savings account, and additional access to community resources that will
help improve their situation, whether through job training, education, improved employment, in order
to grow their income and improve and stabilized their financial standing. Participating families must
agree to a Contract of Participation, which identifies the family needs and goals for become self-
sufficient. A large component of the program is case management, which provides assistance with
finding and accessing community resources. An important component of the FSS is the creation of an
escrow savings account which provides a way for families to save and meet their goals and action plan.
An escrow savings account is created when the family starts earning income, which increases the Total
Tenant Payment (TTP) towards rent. As the TTP increases, the difference is put into an interest -bearing
escrow account. The funds are made available to the family once the contract is successfully completed.
Down Payment Assistance Program
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 87
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 309 of 546
In effort to increase homeownership, the Waterloo Housing Authority administers a down payment
assistance program targeted towards first time home buyers who are both low- to moderate -income
households and would not otherwise pursue homeownership.
The eligibility requirements for program participants include:
• An applicant must have successfully complete Home Buyer Training provided by the Waterloo
Housing Authority
• An applicant must be a current resident of Waterloo for at least one year
• An applicant must be a first time homebuyer defined as neither applicant (including spouse)
having ownership in a home or title to a mortgage with the last 36 months
• The applicant may not own other residential property
• The applicant should be responsible for covering closing funds from their own funds
• Total family income may not exceed 80% of the area median income
Section 8 Home Ownership Voucher Program
Eligible participants are able to utilize Section 8 Home Ownership Voucher towards the purchase of a
home instead of renting a unit. The participation is limited to 3% of the budgeted program in any fiscal
year, excluding disabled and elderly families. The program is available to current Section 8 participants
who have completed their initial 12 month lease. Other eligibility requirements for program participants
includes those who do not owe any funds to the Waterloo Housing Authority or any other public
housing agency, and who are not in violation of their family obligations while receiving Section 8
assistance.
Veteran Assisted Supported Housing
The Veteran Assisted Supported Housing program is new and will be implemented FY2019. The
Waterloo Housing Authority will assign 9 vouchers to qualifying veterans. The program is linked with the
Iowa City Veteran's Hospital where participants will receive support services in addition to housing
support.
Discussion:
The Waterloo Housing Authority is unable to utilize all available vouchers due to limited funds and the
Cedar Falls Low Rent Housing Agency has placed a moratorium on their Section 8 Voucher List due to
high demand but lack of available affordable housing. There is continued demand for assistance in the
Consortium, and the WHA continues to provide programs to help assist with improving self-sufficiency in
order to ensure success for those that are part of the Section 8 Voucher program

Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment services to the
extent those services are use to complement services targeted to homeless persons
There are many agencies in Waterloo and Cedar Falls that assist those experiencing homelessness and
also preventing persons and families from becoming homeless. The majority of the organizations service
both Waterloo and Cedar Falls. The services provided by the organizations are a vital component in the
Continuum of Care process.
Both the Waterloo Housing Authority and the Cedar Falls Low Rent Housing Agency are the local
administrators of HUD's Section 8 and Family Self -Sufficiency programs, by providing housing assistance
in order to provide homelessness prevention. Both programs are limited with how many of the assigned
vouchers that they can provide due to limited funds.
Area organizations and non -profits that are focused on administering services and programs to reduce
homelessness include: Northeast Iowa Food Bank, Cedar Valley United Way, Operation Threshold, Jesse
Cosby Neighborhood Center, Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity, Friends of the Family, Exceptional
Persons, Inc., Consumer Credit Counseling Services, Goodwill Industries, Community Housing Initiatives,
Cedar AIDS Support System, Pathways Behavioral Services, Inc., House of Hope, YWCA and faith based
organizations such as the Salvation Army, Eastside Ministerial Alliance, Catholic Charities, St. Vincent de
Paul, Hope4Healing, and LOVE, Inc. These organizations provide a variety of services to their clientele,
including services such as counseling, case management, food assistance, transportation, clothing and
household goods, life skill training, financial literacy classes and foreclosure prevention counseling, and
victim advocacy. The variety of activities that are available help residents with developing skills and the
knowledge needed to successfully transition into permanent supportive housing or independent living
and maintaining steady employment.
List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly
chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their
families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40
Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services,
describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations.
Emergency Shelters
The Salvation Army operates two emergency shelters in Waterloo. The shelters include an 18-bed
facility for single men, and there is separate 32-bed facility for women and children. Catholic Worker
House provides 22 beds for both men and women in their facility.
Children under the age of 18 in need of temporary housing are placed in the county's youth shelter, a
non -secured facility that provides short termed care. The youth shelter primarily serves victims of
physical of sexual abuse, children whose family are experiencing a crisis, children awaiting foster care or
group home placement, and children referred directly from a psychiatric unit.
Transitional Housing
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 90
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 312 of 546
Several facilities in Waterloo provide transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. House of
Hope, a privately funded organization, provides 10 units with 24 beds and currently has a waitlist for
families in need of assistance. Additionally, the program will begin to provide transitional housing to up
to 5 women who are transitioning out of foster care, in order to provide a stop gap and reduce
homelessness in the that population. Cedar Valley Friends of the Family provides through their two
programs offer a total of 63 beds, with 46 beds for families, and 17 beds for adults only. Their programs
are targeted to domestic violence survivors.
The Junkman-Knoebel Center, which is run by Pathways Behavioral Services, provides 25 beds for men
who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. Residents must maintain employment, commit to
sobriety, and continue to meet obligations, such as court costs, restitution, child support, and any other
transitional living fees incurred.
Permanent Supportive Housing
Community Housing Initiatives offers permanent supportive housing and operates a 13-bed facility, with
one family unit with two beds, and 11 adult only -beds.
Exceptional Persons, Inc. provides group homes to adults with mental retardation, brain injury, or
chronic mental illness. Exceptional Persons, Inc. provides a range of services to accommodate the needs
of individuals and families in need by providing assistance with locating affordable rental housing,
transportation services, and employment and family and child support.
Unity Square Apartments, a previously HOME funded project, provides 6 units targeted towards
permanent supportive housing for the homeless.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services - 91.410, 91.210(d)
Introduction
Community needs are determined by the agencies that provide social services or housing related
services, since they directly work with the special needs populations of both Cedar Falls and Waterloo.
Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental),
persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families,
public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe
their supportive housing needs
The elderly population continues to have the largest need in both communities. There are a variety of
services available that target the needs of area elderly.
Priorities for the Elderly/Frail Population
Waterloo and Cedar Falls will continue to provide support to agencies and organizations that develop
affordable housing for the elderly and frail, or provide services that assist with providing a safe
environment at the current residence. While affordable housing needs are in demand for this
population, limited funding allocated to the Consortium, has not permitted the allocation of funds to
projects that solely assist the elderly and frail. Existing programs, such as Waterloo's rehabilitation
program and ramp assistance programs have allowed existing homes to become safe for senior
homeowners. Both Waterloo and Cedar Falls also provide assistance to organizations that provide
rehabilitation, ramp, and support services to the elderly and frail.
Priorities for Persons with Disabilities
Waterloo and Cedar Falls both have persons with disabilities identified as a population with high priority
needs. Persons with disabilities, as well as the elderly and frail, are given Section 8 preference, and area
landlords are willing to provide modifications in order to accommodate the needs of voucher holders
with disabilities, when these types of changes take place. Both cities have continued to commit to
provide funding support to local agencies that provide support and serve persons with disabilities within
the two communities.
There is currently no available information on the supportive housing needs for persons with drug or
alcohol addictions, or for persons with HIV/AIDS and their families. There is evidence of growing drug
use within the community according to the Iowa Department of Public Health and there may be
increased need in the community.
Currently, The Waterloo Section 8 HCV has 34% of families that are disabled, while for Cedar Falls, there
are 31% of individuals/families that are disabled on the waitlist.

Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health
institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
The Black Hawk County Homeless Coordinating Board has established discharge policies to protect
populations, especially those that that vulnerable to homelessness, based on policies that were
implemented by the State of Iowa. The Black Hawk County Homeless Coordinating Board adopted the FY
2018 Black Hawk/Grundy/Tama Coordinated Service Region Policies and Procedures Manual for
Coordinated Entry as part of the Balance of State Continuum of Care (BoS CoC) and their guiding
principles include the adoption of statewide standards, providing client choice regarding program
participation, promote client -centered practices, prioritize the most vulnerable, collaboration between
CoC provides and other agencies and key partners, provide accurate data, utilize performance -drive
decision making, having a housing first focus by providing permanent supportive housing to those
experiencing chronic homelessness, and ensuring transparency of the process.
Foster Care Discharge
Iowa law mandates that the case permanency plan for all children in foster care include a written
transition plan for youth aged 16 years and older. In 2005 the Iowa Council on Homelessness developed
their Discharge Planning Guiding Principles, which established a transition planning process for children
existing foster care at 18 years of age. Locally, the House of Hope has provided five placements that will
be used by women transitioning out of foster care and the program will assist with finding housing in
order to assist with the transition out of foster care.
Health Care Discharge
Iowa's Administrative Code, 481, Chapter 58, Section 23 for the Department of Inspections and Appeals
provides regulation for discharge from nursing facilities that include: discharge planning initiated at
entrance, proper notification of next of kin upon discharge, proper arrangements made for the welfare
of the resident/patient in the event of emergency or inability to reach next of kin, provision of client
records to any receiving institution, and prior to the transfer or discharge of a resident to another health
care facility, arrangements to provide for continuity of care with the receiving facility.
Mental Health Discharge
All Iowa Mental Health Institutions (MHIs) are licensed hospitals. The Iowa Department of Human
Services has developed detailed discharge policies for MHIs. Discharge planning begins at admission and
is part of an individual's ongoing individual treatment plan. Living arrangements are included, as are
other supportive services required, such as transportation, nutrition, medical care, social supports,
education, and funding arrangements. The Iowa Council of Homelessness seeks to participate in
continuing discharge policy planning with board members representing the Iowa Departments of Elder
Affairs, Human Services, Public Health, and the Iowa VA.

that reports on issues related to re-entry and housing. The Iowa Department of Corrections in
collaboration with the Iowa Department of Human Services as part of the Department of Correction's
Statewide Recidivism Reduction Initiative, provides a Community Connections Supporting Reentry

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.410, 91.210(e)
Describe any negative effects of public policies on affordable housing and residential
investment
The Waterloo/Cedar Falls HOME Consortium prepared an Analysis on Impediments to Fair Housing
Choice (Al) in 2014 to satisfy requirements of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
The Consortium is developing a new Al in FY 2019 that will identify current public policies that may
impede housing choice for members of the protected classes. The following major findings and
conclusions were identified in the 2014 analysis:
1. No strategy to meet the market needs of the growing limited -English-speaking population have
been introduced.
2. There is a growing mismatch between real income and housing cost.
3. It is difficult for large families and people with disabilities to access quality, affordable, suitable
housing.
4. The gap between white and minority median household incomes, unemployment rates, and
homeownership rates is large and growing.
5. The supply of larger housing units may not match the demand from protected classes.
6. The City of Waterloo's zoning provisions regarding group homes limit their capacity to integrate
into the community.
7. The strict definition of family imposes a barrier to the formation on non-traditional households.
8. The Cedar Falls Human Rights Commission does not have the capacity to assertively enforce the
provisions of the municipal human rights ordinance.
9. The indefinite closure of the Northeast Iowa Center of Independent Living and cancellation of
MET's Prime Time Pass program severely limits access to elderly and disabled residents, as well
as employees working atypical hours.
10. A lack of transit connections to growing commercial corridors and suburban employment areas
limits job access as well as access to community assets.
11. Ongoing patterns of disparity in private lending may indicate mortgage discrimination.
12. Testing for housing discrimination has not been conducted recently, despite positive results
from the previous test and complaints of steering within the housing market.
13. Fair housing issues exist within both Waterloo and Cedar Falls' Nuisance Properties and Rental
Inspection ordinances.

Introduction
In 2017, the Iowa Northland Regional Economic Development Commission formally adopted the Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy prepared by the Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governments. The 2017 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy identifies
the economic environment of the region and the economic advantages of the region. The strategic plan also provides recommendations for
maintaining and enhancing an economic advantage and remaining economically resilient. The report also provides a projection of future
economic conditions, available private and governmental resources, emerging and declining industries, and a strategy for moving forward in
order to ensure economic vitality in the region.
Economic Development Market Analysis
The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy identifies the role of education, health care, income and cost of living, housing and their
impact in the regional economy. The report also identified the need for continued infrastructure improvements, including transportation related
infrastructure, which is necessary to maintain the region's ability to compete with other more population regions in the state. Education of the
workforce is critical for ensuring that there are enough skilled employees in the region. Manufacturing, education and health care services, and
retail represent the majority of the region's employment by industry. The report has identified assets that should be emphasized to continue to
grow the region's economy. These areas include advanced manufacturing, alternative energy resources, food processing, information
technology, and logistics and distribution. Regional economic development efforts continue with the promotion of these sectors in order to
grow new businesses and economic growth in the area.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 321 of 546
The manufacturing sector is the largest employment sector in the Waterloo, which accounts for 8.7% of
share of all jobs. Following the manufacturing sector, education and health care services sector accounts
for the second highest number of jobs in the region with 22.1% of all jobs. The retail trade sector is the
third highest at 11.2% of the total share of jobs.
Waterloo is home to 35,362 jobs, and currently only 28,464 of the employees live within 30 minutes of
Waterloo. Nine percent of the workforce commutes from outside the area to Waterloo their
employment.
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
The 2017 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) identified the workforce and
infrastructure needs of the business community.
Workforce
The first goal identified in the CEDS was to attract, retain, and expand business in the region, and
included the need to diversify the region's economic base and to facilitate economic growth. The second
goal focused on workforce needs, including increasing the number of people in the workforce, improved
skills and increase education levels for the existing workforce, produce general and skilled laborers, and
improve the quality of life in order to recruit and retain the workforce. The third goal identified the
importance of affordable housing for the workforce as well as the need of a variety of housing types.
All of these elements play a vital role in maintaining and improving the workforce of the region. The
education and health services sector is growing in the region and CEDS noted that there was a lack of
skilled employees that could provide the growing needs and services. It is important to maintain and
develop training and apprenticeship programs utilizing Hawkeye Community College and other
workforce partners, and continue to provide training and education resources for non-traditional
students. Affordable housing for the workforce was noted as an important element, including utilizing
CDBG and HOME funds, promoting workforce/affordable housing near employment, support infill
development in vacant lots and blighted areas, implement owner -occupied rehabilitation programs to
assist the community housing stock, and support development to support living environments for the
elderly, are some of the key elements identified by the CEDS.
Infrastructure
The CEDS identified the need to maintain, update, and invest in new infrastructure to water and sewer
lines, waste facilities, broadband networks, and energy development and transmission as well as
maintaining and upgrading community facilities. Goal 5 of the CEDS identified transportation as an
important factor, including providing safe, reliable, and efficient transportation network.
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 100
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 322 of 546
Infrastructure improvements include assisting communities with financial resources in order to improve
needed infrastructure improvements, maintaining and investing in public facilities, expanding
broadband infrastructure networks, and improve renewable energy and promote sustainability to
reduce long term costs. Additional regional and local transportation networks were identified as
important to ensure economic vitality in the region.
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or
regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect
job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for
workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.
Continued investment is needed in Waterloo in order to ensure that business growth opportunities take
place. The Region 7 Local Service Plan for July 1, 2016 — June 30, 2020 identified by 2022, 55% of
employment in Iowa will be focused on middle skills jobs and within Region 7, the following sectors may
provide new employment opportunities: information technology, healthcare, utilities, and
manufacturing. The plan has identified that there is a shortage of qualified workers with middle skills to
fill those types of jobs. Education and training opportunities, including for non-traditional students will
be vital to meet employer needs.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment
opportunities in the jurisdiction?
The CEDS identified the continued need for skilled labor and investment in providing education and
training in order to ensure that there is a skilled labor force available, especially as other employment
sectors are seeing growth and to continue to provide labor for the manufacturing sector, but to also
help better match employer needs with the employee skillset. Currently 60% of the workforce has some
college, an Associate's, or a Bachelor's degree or higher. The Region 7 Local Service Plan identified that
in Region 7, 22.3% of employers are in need of workers with basic skills like literacy and numeracy, 30%
of employers are in need of workers with soft skills like timeliness, customer service skills, and
interpersonal skills, and 38.6% of employers are in need of employers with analytical, managerial,
physical, and knowledge experience. Additionally, credentials and licenses are needed for middle skills
jobs, included CNA certification in the healthcare sector, or CNC certification, heavy equipment
operations, and similar skills in manufacturing, and computer and software literacy, project
management, and other general office skills.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce
Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts
will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
The Region 7 Workforce Service Plan has identified the following pose -secondary institutions in the
region: Allen College, Kaplan University, Hawkeye Community College, University of Northern Iowa,
Upper Iowa University, and Wartburg College, which have all been partners with the Region 7 Workforce
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 101
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 323 of 546
for jobs fairs. Currently the Region 7 Workforce currently partners with Hawkeye Community College to
develop Career Pathways in advanced manufacturing and healthcare. The Region 7 Workforce also
partners with AEL for high school completion and English Language Learning classes. Additional efforts
include expanding services to underserved populations and clients experiencing barriers to employment,
work closely to maintain and sector partnerships in order to reflect regional needs, continued efforts to
align education and training opportunities with high demand careers, work to establish one -stop system
for both employers and employees, and integrate the education and training opportunities with the
needed skills and education for the jobs, including middle skills jobs in the region.
As of 2016, the unemployment in Black Hawk County was 4.1% but when unemployment is examined
along racial/ethnic demographics, Black and African American unemployment rates were at 24.7%,
Asian unemployment was at 8.1%, and Hispanic unemployment rates were at 6.9%. Efforts to provide
resources, education, and skill training should ensure that underserved populations are included in the
process are vital to improve the economic standings of the high unemployment populations, especially
since the high unemployment is reflected in the housing needs and costs burdens faced by the same
communities.
Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
(CEDS)?
Yes
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated
with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that
impact economic growth.
Economic development activities in the past were limited due to limited available CDBG funds and the
scale and resources needed for economic development initiatives. Both Waterloo and Cedar Falls will
continue to be support of such initiatives and consider funding opportunities when feasible, especially
when they align with the identified goals of the Consolidated Plan. Activities like outreach and education
of available resources, especially at the neighborhood level may help reach underserved populations.
Discussion
There is continued need for both economic development in Waterloo, to ensure that there are a variety
of opportunities within the community, but also need for providing employees with the needed skills
and education so that they may be able to be employed in the growing job sectors in the area.
Additionally, there are discrepancies in unemployment along racial/ethnic populations, and there is a
need to target those communities to help bridge the high unemployment rates. These discrepancies are
reflected in the cost burdens experienced in the minority populations and their spatial distribution
within Waterloo as seen in the areas of racial concentrations. Improving skills and access to labor,
including removing potential barriers to employment, including transportation and child care
availability, will have an impact in reducing areas of poverty.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated?
(include a definition of "concentration")
There are areas in both Waterloo and Cedar Falls where households with multiple housing problems are
concentrated.
Waterloo
In Waterloo, census tracts 1, 2, 3, 7, 17.01, and 18 have been identified by HUD's AFFH tool mapper as
areas were 40%-50% of households are experiencing any of the four identified housing problems. The
census tracts are areas that correspond with higher rates of LMI populations and areas of racial
concentrations.
Cedar Falls
In Cedar Falls, census tracts 23.03 and 23.04 were identified as areas where housing problems were
concentrated.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income
families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
Waterloo
Waterloo has several census tracts that meet the criteria for areas of racial concentration, where the
percentage of a single minority or ethnic group exceeds at least 10% of the group's citywide average.
Those census tracts include 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 17.01, 17.02, 18, 19, and all those census tracts are included
in the Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area (CURA). Census tracts 7, 8, and 11 are considered areas of
concentration for Hispanic or Latinos. Census tract 3 shows an area of concentration for Asians, while
census tracts 1, 2, 5, 7, 17.01, 17.02, 18, and 19 are shown to be areas of racial concentration for
Blacks/African-Americans.
Cedar Falls
No Census tract has a "concentration" of specific racial or ethnic minorities according to HUD's
definition (10 percentage points higher than the citywide percentage). However, Census tract 23.04
(College Hill area) has the highest percentage of racial and ethnic minorities (11.8% and 4.0%,
respectively, compared to 7.1% and 2% citywide).
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 104
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 326 of 546
In Waterloo these neighborhoods are characterized with having an older housing stock and the majority
of the census tracts identified as areas of racial concentration also have been identified as areas with
higher lead risk. Additionally, these census tracts also have higher rate of poverty and noted as areas
where low and moderate income (LMI) persons are concentrated. The LMI percentage required for
CDBG eligibility is 51% of residents. These areas and neighborhoods have also higher rates of vacancy,
lower property value, higher poverty and unemployment, and tend to be areas of slum and blight.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?
The Waterloo School District has constructed new public schools in those areas, and new
redevelopment is taking place in the Waterloo downtown, including public facilities and amenities, new
businesses are locating to the downtown and surrounding corridor, including the new Hawkeye
Community College Adult Learning Center, new hotel, and multi -family apartment complex, and a new
grocery store and the new Boys and Girls Club Teen Center are both located in one of the surrounding
neighborhoods, which are starting to help revitalize the Waterloo core and surrounding areas. Many of
the LMI and areas of racial concentration are neighborhoods that are located adjacent to the
downtown.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
In Waterloo, there is continued effort to integrate the different programs available to continue to target
LMI areas, but also take a more neighborhood focus in order to concentrate impact into strategic areas,
to help eliminate slum and blight, improve conditions, provide affordable housing, and support
redevelopment and economic opportunities. The efforts will utilize available CDBG and HOME funds and
partnerships with local non-profit agencies and service providers to both serve the community at large
but also target resources at a neighborhood level so that more impact directed to smaller areas of slum
and blight so that efforts of revitalization are more concentrated.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
The Strategic Plan identifies goals, priorities, strategies, and projected outcomes that the Consortium
will try to accomplish in the next five years.
The overarching goals for Waterloo are:
• To provide decent housing in the community by preserving and providing new affordable
housing, reducing barriers to housing, increasing supportive housing for those with special
needs, and transitioning homeless persons and families into housing.
• Provide suitable living environments by eliminating slums and blight, create safer and more
resilient neighborhoods, integrate of low and moderate income residents in both communities
with housing opportunities, improve access to public services and facilities, and reinvest in
deteriorating neighborhoods.
• Expand economic opportunities through more jobs paying self-sufficient wages, homeownership
opportunities, improving access to employment, development activities that promote long-term
community viability, and the empowerment of low and moderate income person to achieve
self-sufficiency through public services and other means.
The City of Waterloo will continue to work closely with area agencies and non -profits that best address
the identified community needs. Priority is given to programs and services that assist the lowest -income
households and prioritizes the identified goals and objectives and meet the national objectives.
The purpose of the Cedar Falls Strategic Plan is to outline a five-year course of action that the City may
follow when implementing their Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement
Program. Said Strategic Plan will identify priorities, needs, market conditions, and define goals and
action strategies, and is intended to address the Needs and Market Assessments that are part of the
City's overall Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
The City of Cedar Falls provides funding to four general programs including: housing development
programs, economic and community development programs, neighborhood or area programs, and
planning and administrative programs. Needs in these areas designed to increase opportunities for low -
and -moderate income households to identify the availability of decent housing, safe and suitable living
environments and provide economic opportunities. As an overarching need, the community identified
affordable housing, which is quality and lower priced, when compared to the existing housing market in
the city.

General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the state
Priority areas that will be targeted with funds are areas of low-income census tracts and areas of racial
concentration. While these areas are located throughout Waterloo, the majority are located within the
Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area (CURA) and Waterloo will continue to concentrate specific
activities within the boundary area. The CURA encompasses the majority of census tracts with low
income populations, areas of racial concentration, and housing with high lead risk, but there are census
tracts beyond the CURA so it will be important to ensure those LMI areas also receive assistance.
Additionally, the community survey identified three general areas and neighborhoods that had the
highest priority which included the East Side, specifically areas along East 4th Street, which includes the
Walnut neighborhood, the 2nd area priority area was the Church Row neighborhood, and the
neighborhoods located near the former site of the Rath Packing Company, which include LAFNOW and
Cedar River, and a few other neighborhoods, were considered the 3rd highest priority area. All of the
above neighborhoods are located within the CURA and in census tracks with concentrations of LMI
populations, are areas with racial concentrations, and have also been identified as areas with high lead
risk by the Iowa Department of Health. Community Development is partnering with local agencies and
non -profits to work on a neighborhood level to target affordable housing, including rehabilitation and
new construction efforts and other efforts to reduce slum and blight, and the above areas will be
considered areas of priority. Due to the number of census tracts that area identified as LMI areas in
Waterloo, if opportunities arise in other LMI neighborhoods for new partnerships, they will also be
considered. Additionally, HUD estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of
the population that is considered LMI, and so it will be important to offer services throughout the
community as services and needs are not restricted to a neighborhood basis.
The City of Cedar Falls will focus its resources, budget and staff, in the areas deemed in greatest need of
improvement.

With many low income households that rent, housing cost burdens remain a big
issue and programs that provide assistance by providing deposit or rent assistance
can help alleviate and stabilized those households and reduce their risk of
becoming homeless. The large number of households also awaiting assistance

Market Characteristics that will influence
the use of funds available for housing type
Tenant Based
Rental Assistance
(TBRA)
Due to the large number of cost -burdened rental households and the limited
availability of Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, the Consortium will plan to
continue utilizing HOME funds to support programs that assist renters, especially
since many renters have extremely low incomes (0%-30% AMI).
TBRA for Non-
Homeless Special
Needs
The elderly and individuals and families experiencing disabilities have a high need
of assistance. Currently, a large proportion of households with disabilities are on
the waitlist for Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. Both populations experience
income limits, have high need for affordable housing which also provides
associated accommodations.
New Unit
Production
Waterloo has a need for affordable and quality new construction property,
especially in infill areas, where there are higher rates of vacant lots and slum and
blight. A portion of HOME funds are dedicated towards the construction of new
single-family homes to help meet this need.
Rehabilitation
The majority (76%) of all existing housing stock, both owner -occupied and rentals
were built prior to 1980. Additionally, many of the older homes are associated
with health issues like lead -based paint, have little to no disability modifications
for elderly or disabled homeowners, and low-income homeowners have very few
funds to update and make their homes safe and sanitary. There are continued
efforts needed to improve the aging housing stock and efforts of property
rehabilitation will also assist in improving slum and blight.
Acquisition,
including
preservation
There are considerable amounts of vacant lots in LMI neighborhoods contributing
to slum and blight. Available funds may be utilized to acquire properties for
redevelopment and new construction in targeted areas to assist with
redevelopment and the elimination of slum and blight.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
The Consortium will continue to leverage additional resources as made available to address any of the identified goals, including housing and
non -housing community development issues. Resources will include local, state, and other federal grant resources. Waterloo continues to meet
the required HOME match requirement by requiring HOME fund subrecipients to provide a 25% match in order to utilize the available funds,
including those generated from the City's Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). The provided matching funds used by
subrecipients are non-federal funds. Waterloo will also utilize loan programs that provide needed services to assist with matching funds.

Table 58 - Institutional Delivery Structure
Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System
Waterloo Community Development oversees the CDBG activities in Waterloo and HOME activities in the
Consortium. In addition, Waterloo Community Development works closely with other local government
entities, non-profit agencies and service organizations, private industry, and public institutions in the
implementation of housing, homeless, non -homeless special needs, and non -housing community
development activities. Cooperation between these the entities are important to ensure as many of the
identified activities can be carried out in order to meet the identified goals and objectives.
Gaps that currently exist between the organizations generally stem from regulation. Although the
organizations work together to achieve a goal we are limited to the information that can be shared at
times. Many of the organizations share the same client base and low income individuals often seek
assistance from multiple agencies. This can lead to duplication of services or lack of services. For
example, if Department of Human Services is working with a family that has a child with an elevated
blood lead level the department will not share the family's information. This often leads to cases that go
unresolved. The Waterloo Housing Authority may have a client that is nearing self-sufficiency that could
benefit from services offered by Waterloo Community Development. However, due to regulation this
information cannot be shared. Most agencies are not willing to share information even if it is allowed
through a memorandum of understanding out of fear of violating regulations.

Hawk County Local Homeless Coordinating Board (LHCB), which encompasses many government
agencies, non-profit providers, and faith -based organizations. These organizations provide a variety of
services targeting the homeless persons, including homeless prevention, emergency shelters,
transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and other services. These services include legal
services, financial literacy and counseling, housing counseling, mental health services, substance abuse
services, case management, job training, and self-sufficiency programs.

SP-55 Strategic Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.415, 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The Waterloo/Cedar Falls HOME Consortium prepared an Analysis on Impediments to Fair Housing
Choice (Al) in 2014 to satisfy requirements of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
The Consortium is developing a new Al in FY 2019 that will identify current public policies that may
impede housing choice for members of the protected classes. The following major findings and
conclusions were identified in the 2014 analysis:
1. No strategy to meet the market needs of the growing limited -English-speaking population have
been introduced.
2. There is a growing mismatch between real income and housing cost.
3. It is difficult for large families and people with disabilities to access quality, affordable, suitable
housing.
4. The gap between white and minority median household incomes, unemployment rates, and
homeownership rates is large and growing.
5. The supply of larger housing units may not match the demand from protected classes.
6. The City of Waterloo's zoning provisions regarding group homes limit their capacity to integrate
into the community.
7. The strict definition of family imposes a barrier to the formation on non-traditional households.
8. The Cedar Falls Human Rights Commission does not have the capacity to assertively enforce the
provisions of the municipal human rights ordinance.
9. The indefinite closure of the Northeast Iowa Center of Independent Living and cancellation of
MET's Prime Time Pass program severely limits access to elderly and disabled residents, as well
as employees working atypical hours.
10. A lack of transit connections to growing commercial corridors and suburban employment areas
limits job access as well as access to community assets.
11. Ongoing patterns of disparity in private lending may indicate mortgage discrimination.
12. Testing for housing discrimination has not been conducted recently, despite positive results
from the previous test and complaints of steering within the housing market.
13. Fair housing issues exist within both Waterloo and Cedar Falls' Nuisance Properties and Rental
Inspection ordinances.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing
The 2014 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing identified thirteen impediments and provided
strategies to remove the impediments.

• It is recommended that both cities review whether current interpretation and translation
services are adequate, including preparing a Language Access Plan if necessary, and the City of
Waterloo should consider working with an outreach specialist to target the largest foreign
language communities.
• Both Waterloo and Cedar Falls need to utilize CDBG funding to assist with providing affordable
rental units, renter focused affordable housing programs, and Waterloo should continue to
maintain its 3 year CURA and provide a Down Payment Assistance Program.
• The Waterloo and Cedar Falls Planning Departments should provide workshops to developers
and landlords regarding universal design concepts.
• There need to be efforts to provide employment training and apprenticeships that are targeted
to residents of racially impacted neighborhoods.
• Home ownership counseling should be targeted to residents of impacted neighborhoods.
Public Sector Impediments: Policy -Based
• Waterloo should amend their zoning ordinance to ensure that small group homes that permit
up to eight persons with disabilities to reside are treated as single-family homes without
additional permit requirements.
• Waterloo should amend its zoning ordinance to remove specifications on what constitutes a
family and should limit occupancy limits based on structural function rather than by defining
family.
• Empower the Cedar Falls Human Rights Commission to enforce fair housing law and examine
whether CDBG funds could be used for a fair housing outreach project by the Commission.
• Conduct a feasibility study to determine whether the Prime Time Pass service could be revived
and conduct a transportation needs assessment to examine how the PTP service can be
incorporated into the MET bus routes.
• The Consortium needs to work on a regional planning effort to better match bus lines with jobs,
housing, and amenities.
Private Section Impediments: Market -Based
• The Consortium should test for mortgage discrimination in order to effectively target education,
outreach, referrals, and enforcement activities. Waterloo needs to continue supporting financial
education and credit counseling for low-income households and examine whether multi-lingual
education opportunities are needed.
• The Consortium should consider applying for another grant for testing, with a focus on race and
disability.
• The legal department should review whether the Chronic Nuisance Properties and Rental
Inspection ordinances are consistent with the Fair Housing Act.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy - 91.415, 91.215(d)
Describe how the jurisdiction's strategic plan goals contribute to:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The Black Hawk County Local Homeless Coordinating Board (LHCB) is part of the Iowa Balance of State
Continuum of Care (BoS CoC), which provides funding for agencies and organizations in the BoA CoC
serving homeless persons and families. The LHCB is responsible for conducting Point -in -Time counts in
Black Hawk County and adopted the FY 2018 Black Hawk/Grundy/Tama Coordinated Service Region
Policies and Procedures Manual for Coordinated Entry in order to ensure that services are coordinated
and they connect the appropriate services to meet client needs. The LHCB meets on a regular basis and
provides an opportunity for participating agencies to coordinate information and services. There are
over 40 providers that participate in the LHCB and they provide a variety of services, including case
management, counseling, self-sufficiency training, amongst many others. The activities are also focused
on locating the appropriate housing in order for clients to successfully transition into either permanent
supportive housing or into independent living and maintain steady employment.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Emergency Shelters
Currently the Salvation Army operates two emergency shelters in Waterloo. The shelters include an 18-
bed facility for single men, and there is separate 32-bed facility for women and children. Catholic
Worker House provides 22 beds for both men and women in their facility.
Children under the age of 18 in need of temporary housing are placed in the county's youth shelter, a
non -secured facility that provides short termed care. The youth shelter primarily serves victims of
physical of sexual abuse, children whose family are experiencing a crisis, children awaiting foster care or
group home placement, and children referred directly from a psychiatric unit.
Transitional Housing
Several facilities in Waterloo provide transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. House of
Hope, a privately funded organization, provides 10 units with 24 beds and currently has a waitlist for
families in need of assistance. Additionally, the program will begin to provide transitional housing to up
to 5 women who are transitioning out of foster care, in order to provide a stop gap and reduce
homelessness in the that population. Cedar Valley Friends of the Family provides through their two
programs offer a total of 63 beds, with 46 beds for families, and 17 beds for adults only. Their programs
are targeted to domestic violence survivors.
Consolidated Plan
WATERLOO 135
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 357 of 546
The Junkman-Knoebel Center, which is run by Pathways Behavioral Services, provides 25 beds for men
who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. Residents must maintain employment, commit to
sobriety, and continue to meet obligations, such as court costs, restitution, child support, and any other
transitional living fees incurred.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
In order to continue assisting those that are homeless or chronically homeless, both cities will continue
to support the LHCB and agencies that provide sheltering and/or associated services in order to stabilize
the homeless individuals and families and to assist with successfully transitioning them out of
homelessness. The Coordinated Entry Policy and Manual are helping with connecting clients to
appropriate services, but there are continued demands for affordable housing to help with transitioning
those that are homeless into more permanent housing. Incentives from the Iowa Finance Authority are
helping with encouraging developers to include elements into their proposals that may assist with
affordable housing, most recently the Waterloo Housing Authority is reviewing a partnership with a local
developer utilizing Iowa Finance Authority credits and funds to provide five vouchers to persons that
previously were experiencing homelessness.
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being
discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving
assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education or youth needs
HUD estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population is low-
income. A large percentage of the population is susceptible to becoming homeless and it is important to
continue to support programs and services that not only provide affordable housing, but also help
eliminate risks towards homelessness, including assisting with housing related issues such as evictions,
denial of housing and other activities, and also support initiatives to improve the economic standing of
low income households with better employment opportunities, job and skill training, and financial
literacy as related education and training efforts. Additionally, it is important to support services that
remove barriers to employment, such as improving transportation services to local employers and child
care availability, especially for those that are employed during second and third shifts. Additionally, it
important to provide services that help current low-income households preserve their existing housing
stock, who otherwise may not be able to maintain their housing condition, and provide services,
especially for the elderly and those with disabilities in order so that any potential barriers from their
homes are removed and they may remain in their homes.

SP-65 Lead -based Paint Hazards - 91.415, 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards
Waterloo Community Development includes lead -paint hazard evaluation and mitigation for housing
units that participate in the rehabilitation program. Waterloo has been a former recipient of HUD Lead -
Paint Hazard Grant, and was awarded and new grant, which began in 2017, which is being utilized in
conjunction with CDBG and HOME rehabilitation activities. The City of Waterloo has partnered with the
Black Hawk County Health Department in the implementation of the Lead -Based Paint Hazard grant,
including participation in outreach events.
The community wide survey results identified that the lead hazards were considered a low priority by
the community. The survey results do not correspond with housing data analysis that identifies that lead
hazards continue to be an issue in Waterloo. The discrepancy does reflect that there are continued
education and outreach efforts in the community regarding lead paint hazards.
Lead paint was not prohibited in residences until 1978, and properties built prior that date are assumed
to contain lead paint. The majority of housing in Waterloo was constructed between 1950 -1979, and
76% of all housing was constructed prior to 1979, which includes 76% of owner -occupied structures and
75% of all rental properties. The Iowa Department of Public Health has created a lead risk model for the
state to identify areas of high risk. In Waterloo, 16 census tracts, the majority located within the CURA,
have been identified as having housing with a high lead risk. Previous awarded HUD Lead -Based Paint
Hazard grants were targeted toward owner -occupied housing. The more recent awarded Lead -Based
Paint Hazard grant also targets rental units, which is the first rental properties have received lead -based
paint remediation assistance. Moving forward, it will be important to include rental properties in
continued lead removal efforts since they have equally high rates of lead paint as owner -occupied
properties and often provide housing to extremely low-income households.
The City of Waterloo also ensures that any housing units that receive any funding towards a down
payment assistance program is also lead safe prior to funding being made available to the new
homebuyer, ensuring the program participants are in safe housing.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards?
Due to the number of units in Waterloo that potentially may have lead -based paint hazards, it is an
important action for all the major activities that were identified previously and integral part of many of
the existing programs.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?
Lead -based paint abatement is an important component of the rehabilitation of existing housing
programs, and with down payment assistance programs, and all policies and procedures for any of the
activities include lead -abatement activities and procedures.

SP-70 Anti -Poverty Strategy - 91.415, 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty -Level Families
HUD estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population is low-
income. The City of Waterloo will continue to work on providing programs, services, and initiatives, and
other forms of support in order to reduce the rate of poverty in the community. Waterloo has identified
the following programs and strategies to help reduce the number of families living in poverty:
• Provide assistance to non -profits organizations and agencies that provide services that target
extremely low-income persons and households, including access to food, counseling services,
transportation assistance, and other programs that will assist with self-sufficiency.
• Provide a Down Payment Assistance Program to assist low-income households to purchase
homes, which will help reduce and ease the growing mismatch between real income and
housing costs and support homeownership and accumulation of equity.
• Continue to assist low income households with homeowner rehabilitation programs to ensure
their housing remains safe.
• Continue to address lead -based paint abatement to address child lead poisoning, which has long
term consequences related to potential employment and earning capabilities in the future.
• Provide support programs and services that provide deposit and rent assistance to extremely
low-income persons and households.
• Support citywide construction of new affordable housing, including affordable rental housing,
including housing targeted for extremely low-income households.
• Support economic development programs, including those that target low income
neighborhoods and provide training to low income, minority, and underrepresented groups,
including job and skills training
• Support programs that assist with childcare, to assist employed parents, so they can retain their
employment, and also target youth programs to ensure that mentoring and other resources are
provided to children to they can be successful.
Continue to support infrastructure programs in the community in order to improve neighborhoods and
continue to improve property values and help bring economic development into impoverished
neighborhoods.
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this
affordable housing plan
The preparation of the Consolidated Plan involved the input of both the community, but also the service
providers that work closely with providing services to reduce poverty in the Consortium. The activities
identified as part poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies are part of the goals, objectives, and
strategies identified as part of this housing plan. Moving forward improving communication and
assisting the sharing of resources with service providers and the public will be important to ensure the
Consolidated Plan

identified programs are successful. A key component of information dissemination will also involve
utilizing neighborhood services, so that information, outreach, and education can be better
disseminated to the public, especially low income neighborhoods, so those residents are made aware of
programs and opportunities.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
The Consortium will continue to leverage additional resources as made available to address any of the identified goals, including housing and
non -housing community development issues. Resources will include local, state, and other federal grant resources. Waterloo continues to meet
the required HOME match requirement by requiring HOME fund subrecipients to provide a 25% match in order to utilize the available funds,
including those generated from the City's Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). The provided matching funds used by
subrecipients are non-federal funds. Waterloo will also utilize loan programs that provide needed services to assist with matching funds.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution - 91.420, 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Priority areas that will be targeted with funds are areas of low-income census tracts and areas of racial
concentration. While these areas are located throughout Waterloo, the majority are located within the
Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area (CURA) and Waterloo will continue to concentrate specific
activities within the boundary area. The CURA encompasses the majority of census tracts with low
income populations, areas of racial concentration, and housing with high lead risk, but there are census
tracts beyond the CURA so it will be important to ensure those LMI areas also receive assistance.
Additionally, the community survey identified three general areas and neighborhoods that had the
highest priority which included the East Side, specifically areas along East 4th Street, which includes the
Walnut neighborhood, and the Church Row neighborhood. All of the above neighborhoods are located
within the CURA and in census tracks with concentrations of LMI populations, are areas with racial
concentrations, and have also been identified as areas with high lead risk by the Iowa Department of
Health. Community Development is partnering with local agencies and non -profits to work on a
neighborhood level to target affordable housing, including rehabilitation and new construction efforts
and other efforts to reduce slum and blight, and the above areas will be considered areas of priority.
Due to the number of census tracts that area identified as LMI areas in Waterloo, if opportunities arise
in other LMI neighborhoods for new partnerships, they will also be considered. Additionally, HUD
estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population that is considered
LMI, and so it will be important to offer services throughout the community as services and needs are
not restricted to a neighborhood basis.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The LMI percentage required for CDBG eligibility is 51% of residents. HUD estimates indicate that
Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population as of 2018. Waterloo has 27 census
tracts, with 17 of those located within the city boundary, while 10 extend beyond the city limits. Of the
27 census tracts, 16 of the 27 are considered LMI and include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15.03, 16,
17.01, 17.02, 18, and 19. The majority of the census tracts are included in the Consolidated Urban
Revitalization Area (CURA).
HUD defines areas of racial or ethnic minority concentration as geographical areas where the
percentage of minorities or ethnic persons is 10% higher than in the city overall. Waterloo has several
census tracts that meet the criteria for areas of racial concentration, which is when a single
minority/ethnic group exceeds at least 10% of the group's citywide average, as racial minorities
comprised 23.8% of the population. In Waterloo, an area of racial concentration includes the Census
tracts where the percentage of minority residents is 33.8% or higher. Those census tracts include 1, 2, 3,
5, 7, 9, 17.01, 17.02, 18, 19, and all those census tracts are included in the Consolidated Urban
Revitalization Area (CURA). Census tracts 7, 8, and 11 are considered areas of concentration for Hispanic
or Latinos. Census tract 3 shows an area of concentration for Asians, census tract 7 has a concentration
of other races, while census tracts 1, 2, 5, 7, 17.01, 17.02, 18, and 19 are shown to be areas of racial
concentration for Blacks/African-Americans.

Introduction
The City of Waterloo will continue to focus its efforts in supporting the development and rehabilitation
of affordable housing. Affordable housing continues to be a high priority in Waterloo and efforts will
encompass a variety of the proposed activities to ensure there is quality affordable housing available in
Waterloo. The activities will include support for a community housing development organization for the
development of new affordable housing construction. Other major efforts will be the continued efforts
towards the rehabilitation of existing single family homes to make them safe and sanitary, remove lead -
based hazards, and with help reduce slum blight with those improvements, and ensure homeowners can
continue to reside in their homes. Another important project will be the continuation of providing
emergency repairs to owner occupied housing, which will ensure that emergency issues in a home will
not escalate and reduce damage and ensure the owners can remain in their home. Efforts will also
include down payment assistance for first time homebuyers, to assist with helping persons transition
into home occupancy. Additional support will also include deposit and tenant based rent assistance to
ensure renters can also receive assistance to help stabilize them as they move into rentals.
The City of Cedar Falls has addressed three categories that will aid in the rehabilitation and will sustain
the affordable housing stock. Rehabilitation of Owner Occupied Single Family Homes, Rehabilitation of
Rental Units and Rehabilitation. The City will ensure health and safety issues are addressed in
approximately 375 L/M income qualified homes with municipal code inspections.

Discussion
The housing rehabilitation and emergency repair programs continue to be significant programs in
helping low-income residents remain in their homes as well as the construction of new single family
homes through the assistance of a community housing development organization. Approximately 50%
of the Waterloo households are considered low income and assisting with home repairs and the
rehabilitation of their property can ensure they can remain safely in their homes and ensure future
affordable housing stock is in safe and sanitary condition. Additional efforts, including neighborhood
clean ups, infrastructure improvements, and other efforts to reduce slum and blight can also help
improve the existing housing stock and neighborhoods. There are also continued efforts to assist with
the construction of new single family homes in existing vacant infill lots, which will help boost the
number of new affordable housing options.
The City of Cedar Falls will continue to provide housing grants for rehabilitation, repair, accessibility and
structural hazards to eligible L/M income households. The City estimates that it will rehabilitate 11
owner occupied homes and 6 rental units. The City has a goal to work with Elected Officials, The Housing
Commission, and staff to equitably enforce municipal code provisions that affect the safety of housing
conditions, including property and rental inspections, municipal infractions, and building and structural
codes. These inspections will benefit L/M income households. The estimates that it will conduct 375
inspections over the 5 year ConPlan period.

Introduction
The Waterloo Housing Authority manages Ridgeway Towers, a 50-unit facility, which is currently the
only public housing facility in the Consortium. The Waterloo Housing Authority conducts regular
maintenance of the facility but does not expect any Section 504 modifications or improvements at the
facility. Currently there are 50 units filled at Ridgeway Towers and all 50 are requesting some sort of
disability accommodation. 23 of the residents at Ridgeway Towers are disabled, while 48 are elderly.
Community Development will continue to work closely with the Waterloo Housing Authority on
homeless prevention and social services programs.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
Community Development will conduct environmental reviews on behalf of the Waterloo Housing
Authority but there are currently no additional plans for direct assistance for any other program in
FY2019.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
The Waterloo Housing Authority provides several programs that provide assistance for improving the
living environment for residents. The programs include Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS), Down Payment
Assistance Program, Homeownership Assistance Program, and Veteran Assisted Supported Housing, and
all assist in improving self-sufficiency for low income households. In addition to these programs, the
Waterloo Housing Authority provides a variety of on -site basic health screening and exercise programs
for residents of Ridgeway Towers.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
Waterloo Housing Authority is not designated as a trouble agency by HUD.
Discussion
The City of Waterloo faces a shortfall of public housing for low-income, elderly and disabled individuals.
The City currently owns only one public housing facility consisting of 50 units. The need remains strong
for public housing as the current waitlist has demonstrated.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.420, 91.220(i)
Introduction
The City of Waterloo currently does not receive entitlement funds to assist with homeless needs.
Various social services agencies in Waterloo apply to the State of Iowa and receive a small allocation of
funds for homelessness. Some agencies also apply directly to HUD for Continuum of Care Program
Funds.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of Waterloo will continue to support affordable housing activities using CDBG and HOME funds.
Activities include a homeowner rehabilitation program, down payment assistance, tenant based rental
and deposit assistance, community stabilization projects targeting chronic housing issues, and related
activities. The proposed activities will help continue to provide safe and decent living environments
while reducing the deterioration of the existing housing stock and also ensure low income households
can remain in their homes, be able to afford housing, or be able to provide rental
assistance. Additionally, the City will continue to participate in the Black Hawk County Local Homeless
Coordinating Board (LHCB), the region's Continuum of Care organization. The LHCB conducts the annual
Point -In -Time survey and the results are shared with the Institute of Community Alliance.
There are multiple social service agencies and providers in the Consortium that provide benefits and
assistance to low income persons and households with a focus of preventing homelessness. Many of the
organizations are also focused on providing assistance to those persons and households currently
experiencing homelessness. The organizations provide the following services: counseling, legal
assistance, case management, life skill training, financial literacy courses, access to basic everyday
resources including food, victim advocacy, and mental health related activities. These activities help
assist low income persons and households to become more self-sufficient. By developing the skills and
knowledge provided by the service providers, residents can then transition into permanent supportive
housing or into independent living environments and can maintain employment and help stabilize them
and reduce the risk of homelessness.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Emergency Shelters
The Salvation Army operates two emergency shelters in Waterloo. The shelters include an 18-bed
Consolidated Plan

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 385 of 546
facility for single men, and there is separate 32-bed facility for women and children. Catholic Worker
House provides 22 beds for both men and women in their facility.
Children under the age of 18 in need of temporary housing are placed in the county's youth shelter, a
non -secured facility that provides short termed care. The youth shelter primarily serves victims of
physical of sexual abuse, children whose family are experiencing a crisis, children awaiting foster care or
group home placement, and children referred directly from a psychiatric unit.
Transitional Housing
Several facilities in Waterloo provide transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. House of
Hope, a privately funded organization, provides 10 units with 24 beds and currently has a waitlist for
families in need of assistance. Additionally, the program will begin to provide transitional housing to up
to 5 women who are transitioning out of foster care, in order to provide a stop gap and reduce
homelessness in the that population. Cedar Valley Friends of the Family provides through their two
programs offer a total of 63 beds, with 46 beds for families, and 17 beds for adults only. Their programs
are targeted to domestic violence survivors.
The Junkman-Knoebel Center, which is run by Pathways Behavioral Services, provides 25 beds for men
who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. Residents must maintain employment, commit to
sobriety, and continue to meet obligations, such as court costs, restitution, child support, and any other
transitional living fees incurred.
Permanent Supportive Housing
Community Housing Initiatives offers permanent supportive housing and operates a 13-bed facility, with
one family unit with two beds, and 11 adult only -beds.
Exceptional Persons, Inc. provides group homes to adults with mental retardation, brain injury, or
chronic mental illness. Exceptional Persons, Inc. provides a range of services to accommodate the needs
of individuals and families in need by providing assistance with locating affordable rental housing,
transportation services, and employment and family and child support.
Unity Square Apartments, a previously HOME funded project, provides 6 units targeted towards
permanent supportive housing for the homeless.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
Consolidated Plan
CEDAR FALLS 164
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 386 of 546
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City of Waterloo will continue to support the Black Hawk County Local Homeless Coordinating Board
and other agencies that provide support to homeless services and that are focused on reducing chronic
homelessness. The activities will include assisting with increasing the capacity of existing shelters,
including providing new permanent housing beds for those that are chronically homeless. Additionally, it
will be equally important to support agencies that provide services that help the chronically ill transition
out of homelessness.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The Black Hawk County Homeless Coordinating Board has established discharge policies to protect
populations, especially those that that vulnerable to homelessness, based on policies that were
implemented by the State of Iowa. The Black Hawk County Homeless Coordinating Board adopted the FY
2018 Black Hawk/Grundy/Tama Coordinated Service Region Policies and Procedures Manual for
Coordinated Entry as part of the Balance of State Continuum of Care (BoS CoC) and their guiding
principles include the adoption of statewide standards, providing client choice regarding program
participation, promote client -centered practices, prioritize the most vulnerable, collaboration between
CoC provides and other agencies and key partners, provide accurate data, utilize performance -drive
decision making, having a housing first focus by providing permanent supportive housing to those
experiencing chronic homelessness, and ensuring transparency of the process.
Discussion
Due to the continued needs and the growing population that is at high risk for becoming homeless, it is
important to continue to support agencies and organizations that help high risk individuals and
households to become more self-sufficient and to have access to services. The continued reduction of
CDBG and HOME funds place a strain in the amount of funds that can be dedicated to the homeless
population.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing - 91.420, 91.220(j)
Introduction
The 2014 Analysis of Impediments identified several barriers to affordable housing. One of the issues
identified was the growing mismatch between real income and housing cost. Additional issues included
the difficulty for large families and people with disabilities to access affordable housing, the growing
disparity between white and minority household income, unemployment, and homeownership rates.
The activities proposed are targeted towards improving existing housing stock and targeting areas with
greater disparities to help reduce the identified gaps.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The 2014 Analysis of Impediments identified existing policies that may impede housing choice and the
FY2019 Analysis of Impediments is in the process of identifying new policies and actions to help reduce
impediments. The following actions were identified in the 2014 Analysis of Impediments and it
continues to be recommended that the following actions are implemented to help reduce housing
choice barriers.
• Support CDBG funding on providing affordable rental units.
• Provide funds towards a Community Development down payment assistance program.
• Work on partnerships with landlords and developers to support universal design standards in
units to broaden the number of units that can accommodate persons with disabilities.
• Work on amending the City of Waterloo's zoning ordinance on group homes, so that they are
treated as single family homes without additional requirements, permits, or conditions.
• Work on updating the City of Waterloo's zoning ordinance definition on what constitutes a
family and have occupancy limits determined by structural function rather than the definition of
a family.
Discussion
The activities proposed will help alleviate barriers to affordable housing. While 50% of the Waterloo
households are low-income, there are also disparities with income, unemployment, and
homeownership. The activities proposed will target neighborhoods that are both LMI areas and areas of
racial concentration, helping push resources in areas of high need and target the population
experiencing the greatest need. Additional assistance, such as the down payment assistance will also

Introduction
The City of Waterloo proposed to undertake several actions in order to address several goals outlined in
the Strategic Plan.
• Address affordable housing needs
• Eliminating slum and blight to provide a suitable living environment
• Expand economic opportunities
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
Despite continued efforts, there continue to be a number of obstacles that impact the ability to meet
underserved needs in the community. One of the biggest issues is the lack of available funds to assist
with completing all the identified priority needs. Often requests for assistance from local agencies and
non-profit organizations cannot be fully met and only partial funding can be provided meaning activities
have fewer available resources to meet needs. Some of the continued obstacles that need to me
overcome are:
• growing number of immigrants and refugees that need translation assistance in order to receive
assistance
• the continued disparity in incomes and housing costs
• the continued disparity in median household rates, unemployment, and homeowners between
the white population and minorities
• the lack of availability of affordable and safe housing that can also provide disability
accommodations
• the lack of transportation and childcare create a barrier to employment for low income
households
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
There are several actions being proposed to help foster and maintain affordable housing.
• Provide support to proposed new construction of affordable housing
• Assist with the acquisition of property that can be rehabilitated or used for new construction, or
any resale of property that can be used to house low income households.
• Continue to provide funding for single family owner occupied housing development by
collaborating a Community Housing Development Organization.
• Provide citywide rehabilitation for owner occupied and rental housing, to help preserve and

stabilize existing affordable housing stock
• Provide citywide emergency repair for owner occupied homes in order to ensure the existing
housing is maintained and preserved
• Provide down payment assistance for first time homebuyers
• Work to help reduce slum and blight in neighborhoods in order to improve property value and
improve lending opportunities for infill development
• Provide support for Deposit and Tenant Based Rental Assistance
Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
The rehabilitation program requires that each participating property is evaluated for lead -based paint
hazards. Any rental rehabilitation properties that also receive assistance will be evaluated for lead based
hazards. Currently the City of Waterloo is a recipient of Lead -Based Hazards grant from HUD and is
partnering with the Black Hawk County Health Department to perform lead paint assessments and
clearance testing on those properties.
Inspections will also be completed on all units that are part of the Deposit and Rental Assistance
Program and on all housing units that are receiving down payment assistance. The inspections will be
completed by a certified Lead Risk Assessor and any identified lead paint hazards will be corrected by a
certified Lead Safe Renovator, before the housing units participates in any of the programs.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
With approximately 50% of the Waterloo living in poverty, there is continued need to address poverty
throughout the community and to help reduce the level of poverty.
Consolidated Plan
CEDAR FALLS 169
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 391 of 546
The following strategies will help assist households living in poverty and reduce the number of
households living in poverty:
• Provide funding support to organizations and agencies that provide needed services, such as
food, senior services, counseling, legal aid and other services that target low income persons
and households.
• Provide funding support to agencies and organizations that assist residents with special needs.
• Continue to assist low income households with rehabilitation and emergency repair programs.
• Provide down payment assistance to support homeownership and the accumulation of equity
within the community.
• Support infrastructure improvements in low income neighborhoods to increase property values
and also bring economic developments into those areas.
• Economic development programs to support for skill and job training in order to improve the
employability of those in the community living in poverty.
• Address lead -paint based hazards, which impact the development grown of young children and
their future employment and earning capabilities.
• Support child and youth service activities to help provide mentoring and support for future
growth, and assist families to that they can secure and keep their employment.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The proposed housing and community development activities will be carried out in cooperation with
local government agencies, non-profit organizations, service providers, private industry, and public
institutions. The support of the public, private, and non-profit organizations are important, and
collaboration with the various organizations is an important component to the institutional approach of
meeting the identified needs identified in the plan.
Waterloo Community Development Board, the Waterloo Housing Authority, and the Black Hawk County
Local Homeless Coordinating Board will continue to work in partnership to help reduce any potential
service delivery gap between public and non-profit organizations. There are many agencies that provide
a wide variety of services locally, including homeless prevention, reduction of poverty, affordable
housing efforts, neighborhood revitalization, youth services, and many others.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
Each year, as part of the annual planning process, local agencies and organizations are invited to submit
proposals for CDBG and HOME eligible activities. Many of these organizations participate in
informational meetings, public hearings, and are engaged in the process. Waterloo Community

meetings with many of the different organizations in order to continue improving coordination. There
have also been efforts for continued outreach and education on the available programs and
opportunities that are offered and there has been in increased effort of participation with new
organizations and entities in order to ensure that there awareness of the level of assistance.

2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used
for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
The City of Waterloo has elected to adopt the following recapture or resale provisions when HOME
funds (including program income) are used to create affordable housing. Recapture guidelines are
used for any homebuyer activity where the client receives direct financial assistance (down payment
assistance). Resale guidelines are used when the homeowner does not receive direct financial
assistance (construction subsidy for housing unit).
Recapture Provision
A recapture provision of the HOME regulations pursuant to CFR Part 24 92.254 (a)(5)(ii) will be used
when HOME —funded assistance is provided for down payment assistance for people at income
levels of 80% of less of Waterloo's median income. The homebuyer may resell the property on the
open market to any willing buyer during the affordability period. The recapture provision will
include an affordability period based on the amount of HOME funds used for that purpose as
follows:
• Up to $14,999: 5 years
• $15,000 - $40,000: 10 years
• Greater than $40,000: 15 years
The City of Waterloo will reduce the amount of direct HOME subsidy for recapture on a pro rata
basis for the time the homebuyer has owned and occupied the housing measured against the
affordability period. The resulting ratio, is used to determine how much of the direct HOME subsidy
will be recaptured. The pro rata amount recaptured, divide the number of years the homebuyer
occupied the home by the period of affordability and multiply the resulting figure by the total
amount of direct HOME subsidy originally provided to the homebuyer. This summarizes the
resale/recapture provision. The full provision can be viewed in the Administrative attachments of
the Con Plan.

Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary — 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to guide federal funding decisions, relative to the City of Cedar
Falls Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement program and the Waterloo -Cedar Falls
HOME Consortium program (managed by the City of Waterloo) for the next five years. The Plan is guided
by four overarching objectives and specific actions defined below:
(1) To provide decent housing by preserving the affordable housing stock, increasing the availability of
affordable housing, reducing discriminatory barriers; increasing the supply of supportive housing for
those with special needs; and transitioning homeless persons and families into housing.
(2) To provide a suitable living environment through safer, more livable neighborhoods, greater
integration of low -and -moderate income households throughout the city, increased housing
opportunities, and reinvestment in deteriorating neighborhoods.
(3) To provide services, such as rent assistance and through contracted agencies: healthcare, mental
health, substance abuse, financial counseling, nutrition, and other services that allow residents to reach
their greatest level of self-sufficiency.
(4) To expand economic opportunities through increased opportunities for living wage employment,
development activities that promote long-term community viability, and the empowerment of low- and
moderate- income persons to achieve self-sufficiency.
Cedar Falls is committed to allocating funds that serve the needs of the lowest income and most
disadvantaged households. Households with incomes less than 50 percent of the area median income,
particularly those with extremely low incomes are particular priorities. The city has also identified
special needs individuals as among those who face the greatest challenges and who should receive high
priority in the allocation of federal funds, including at -risk children and youth, low-income families, the
homeless and persons threatened with homelessness, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.
The City, by focusing on these needs, seeks to address the following community concerns: the need for
additional affordable housing units, as well as maintaining the existing affordable units, in order to
address the growing gap between housing costs and local incomes. Funding programs that offer
community services, particularly in low income areas, while providing a network of shelter, housing, and
support services that prevent homelessness. This may include moving homeless persons to permanent
housing and independence and eliminating chronic homelessness. Also, programs that promote
Consolidated Plan

Page 402 of 546
economic development, create jobs, and increase the job skills of employees are supported by the
community. Finally, the City hopes to increase the ability of seniors, persons with disabilities, and others
with special needs to live independently.
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment
Overview
The City of Cedar Falls will provide assistance and services to low -and -moderate income households in
accordance to the Consolidated and Annual Action Plans through the following designated projects and
services:
• managing housing rehabilitation and repair programs,
• establishing homeownership programs,
• supporting accessibility improvements and public services,
• continuing demolition and clearance programs,
• fostering healthy lifestyle planning and recreational amenity construction,
• affecting the affordability of housing,
• enhancing transportation services,
• encouraging development of daycare services,
• working with both businesses, industries, and educational institutions to address providing
homeownership and job skill training for low -and -moderate income households,
• implementing infrastructure projects, and
• increasing housing planning efforts.
These programs are designated to improve and preserve the housing stock, increase affordable housing,
prevent homelessness and improve neighborhood areas in the community. By focusing on these overall
priorities outlined in the Cedar Falls Consolidated Plan, we are striving to provide decent housing by
preserving the affordable housing stock, preventing or minimizing homelessness or near -homelessness,
providing a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities for residents.
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects. As
stated in the City of Cedar Falls' Future Forward Plan, the community has identified unique and highly
attractive housing options as a priority for the community. In addition, with this Plan, affordable
housing, community development, economic development, homelessness and social services are viewed
as priority needs for the City. High priorities for FFY 2019-2023 also include infrastructure
improvements, public facility improvements, demolition and clearance of dilapidated structures, public
Consolidated Plan
CEDAR FALLS 181

Page 403 of 546
services and the development and maintenance of affordable housing. The City has addressed some of
those goals during prior years through its rehabilitation projects and public service agency awards.
4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
Summary from the citizen participation section of plan, which includes four focus group meetings with
over 30 participants, affected entities and agencies and a communitywide survey. Focus group meetings
were held to identify current issues and trends impacting the agencies and organizations. Topics
discussed included a general overview of the services being provided, current and future needs;
homelessness; services to extremely low- and- moderate -income families and individuals; and the most
prevalent need, providing affordable housing. The information gathered was used in developing the
Consolidated Plan, specifically the goals, objective, and actions identified in the plan.
The survey, which was primarily web -based, was available to the public from December 3rd, 2018
through December 23rd, 2018. Paper copies of the survey were also available at City Hall, the Cedar
Falls Library, Northeast Iowa Food Bank, and Operation Threshold for persons that did not have access
to the internet. The format of said survey was developed using examples from other CDBG Entitlement
communities, with input and personalization from both the cities of Cedar Falls and Waterloo. Nearly
160 responses were received from Cedar Falls residents and the results underscored the comments and
direction provided by participant in the focus groups; the primary housing need of the community is to
provide affordable, quality housing for its residents. The results of both the focus groups and surveys
were discussed at the Housing Commission's November 27th, 2018 and January 8th, 2019 meetings,
both of which were legally posted, as the Consolidated and FFY 2019 Annual Action Plans were under
development.
Finally, a comment period legal notice was advertised on February 6th, 2019 in the Waterloo
Courier. The 30-day comment period was defined in the notice, stating that the public could review and
comment on the draft plan between February 12th and March 12th, 2019. The Commission held
specific public comment opportunities on its agenda relative to the draft plans on February 12th, 2019,
and March 12th, 2019. Both meetings were legally posted. Also, public input was formally considered
through conduct of a City Council public hearing on May 6th, 2019, which was legally advertised in the
Waterloo Courier on April 29th, 2019. No comments were received from the public or either meeting.
5. Summary of public comments
As noted above, four focus group meetings were held at the Hearst Center for the Arts in Cedar Falls
over the course of three days. Further, a communitywide survey, garnering 158 responses was received
by the community, with the intent that it would provide community -directed guidance for the plan. City
Administration reviewed the draft documents prior to presentation of the initial drafts to the Housing
Commission. In addition, a 30-day comment period was publicly recognized and properly advertised
Consolidated Plan
CEDAR FALLS 182
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 404 of 546
between February 12th, 2019 and March 12th, 2019. The Housing Commission reviewed the draft,
which was also on -file with the City Clerk, at their public meeting on March 12th, 2019 and
recommended its adoption to the City Council. In addition, the Spring 2019 edition of the City's
newsletter (Currents), which is directly mailed to each resident, included an article about the
plans. Finally, the City Council conducted a Public Hearing, prior to adoption of the Consolidated and
FFY 2019 Action Plans, on May 6th, 2019. No public comments were received.
6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them
No comments were rejected.
7. Summary
As is evident, the City of Cedar Falls conducted a lengthy and deliberate public planning process that
would guide the expenditure of federal funds provided by the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development over the next five years. Numerous opportunities for public input were offered to
residents, agencies, organizations, elected and appointed public representatives, as well as to
neighboring jurisdictions.
The City's primary goal is to provide decent, safe affordable housing to its residents while attempting to
increase the availability of affordable housing throughout the community. The City has developed four
overriding objectives that it wants to implement during the life of this plan, all of which are centered on
positively affecting the affordability of housing in the community.

1. Introduction
The consultation process for the City of Cedar Falls included conducting four focus group meetings with
local public agencies, local governments, and non-profit organizations, as well as completing a
community wide web -based citizen survey, in a coordinated effort with the City of Waterloo. To that
end, these efforts were used in order to develop a Consolidated Plan that is community -driven. The
meetings, which were held in an accessible location in the community, Hearst Center for the Arts, were
beneficial in identifying current issues and trends impacting the agencies and organizations, as well as
evaluating the performance of the current CDBG services the City was providing and what services might
also be needed. Said meetings allowed the entities a chance to interact with the City's Housing
Commission and staff. In addition, those entities that participated in the focus groups found merit in
meeting together, both for this plan and in the future, to discuss needs and current and future
programming of resources.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1)).
As part of its annual CDBG awards made to service agencies, City staff conducts monitoring visits and
holds a forum with their Housing Commission. These meetings provide direct insight into the changing
needs of the community and its residents. This information may then be fed directly into the City's
housing planning processes. INRCOG staff, which is working with the City, also administers two housing
trust funds, which conduct regular input sessions with local governments, agencies, organizations,
financial institutions and real estate businesses, and the state government regarding housing. These
sessions help to identify needs, barriers, and outline strategies regarding how to improve housing in the
area.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
Within the focus group sessions, conducted as part of this plan, several Continuum of Care providers
offered input into the City's process. The Salvation Army, Western Home, and Cedar Valley Friends of
the Family provide senior housing, homeless services, and sheltering services to Cedar Falls residents.
Further, Habitat for Humanity offers affordable housing to families assisting them with homeownership.
Strategies were discussed on how to better assist and affirmatively further fair housing to those with the
greatest needs. In addition, the other participating organizations provided in-depth information on
Consolidated Plan

housing needs for special needs populations, homeless persons, in addition to persons at risk of
homelessness.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate
outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
The City of Cedar Falls does not directly receive, or distribute, ESG funds.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
Citizen participation consisted of structured efforts made by the City. First, the City hosted four focus groups to garner input. Second a survey
was completed by residents in the community. And lastly, both the Housing Commission and City Council provided opportunities within their
public meetings for input into the development of this Consolidated Plan.
As noted, the City of Cedar Falls conducted focus groups in tandem with a communitywide web -based citizen survey in order to identify
community housing and housing -related needs. The results from both input methods impacted all elements of this Plan, including program -
related goals, objectives, and action steps. Most goals and objectives from the prior Consolidated Plan were rewritten and all will be measured
accordingly.
Focus group sessions and the survey were managed and facilitated by the University of Northern Iowa's Institute of Decision Making. Focus
group sessions were also attended by City and INRCOG staff. Overall, 38 persons attended focus group meetings, representing 28 agencies and
organizations. It should be noted that several other agencies were contacted outside of the focus groups in order obtain their
input. Specifically, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Black Hawk County and Black Hawk County Emergency Management were consulted as
well, bringing the total agencies included in this planning process to 34. Discussions with the focus groups allowed the City to gather the
following information from participating entities:
14. Background and operating information pertaining to each organization, its programs, services, clientele, customers, and service area;
15. Identification of the greatest needs of its clients or customers;
16. Barriers faced by their clients that prevent them from meeting their needs;
17. Suggested programs or activities that could help clients or customers overcome barriers; and
18. The activities or initiatives the City of Cedar Falls could be implementing, improving upon, in regard to providing decent housing,
providing a suitable living environment, or expanding economic opportunities for its residents.

Regarding the web -based citizen survey, the City received 158 completed responses. This response rate equates to roughly an 80 percent
confidence interval that the results represent the community as a whole. In addition to being offered online, paper copies of the survey were
made available at City Hall, the Cedar Falls Library, certain larger housing developments, the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, and Operation
Threshold, which serves as the region's community assistance program administrator. The survey was open from December 3rd, 2018 through
December 23rd, 2018. Summary findings from the survey include the following key takeaways in the areas of housing, community services and
facilities, business and job -related activities, and special needs services:
19. Lack of affordable housing and the need for continued rehabilitation and repair programs were citied frequently as needs;
20. In terms of community service and facility needs, mental health and childcare services were identified as the greatest needs;
21. Employment training and job creation/retention were most often identified as needs under business and job -related activities; and
22. With regard to special needs services, residents stated that homeless shelters and related services, along with substance abuse services,
were needed most in the community.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
Cedar Falls has a median household income of $58,544 in 2016 (5-year American Community Survey) —
higher than the statewide median income of $54,570. Nonetheless, Cedar Falls is not immune to unmet
needs for decent, affordable housing. According to HUD's 2011-2015 Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, of the 14,565 households in Cedar Falls, 1,035 renter households
(excluding non -family, non -elderly households) and 2,020 owner households are low- and moderate -
income, meaning that their incomes are no higher than 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) by
household size. Among non -elderly, non -family renter households, 2,485 are LMI — some, but not all, of
these households consist of University of Northern Iowa students.
Among LMI owners, 45 percent of households are housing cost burdened, meaning that they pay more
than 30 percent of their incomes on housing costs (including utilities, taxes, and insurance). This is
slightly higher than the statewide cost burden rate of 41 percent among LMI owners. Moreover, 16
percent of LMI owner households are severely cost burdened, with housing costs exceeding 50 percent
of their incomes. (Note that the percentage of cost burdened households is inclusive of severely cost
burdened households.)
Among LMI renters, 59% of family households and 52 percent of elderly households are cost burdened,
while 37 percent and 36 percent of family and elderly households, respectively, are severely cost
burdened.
Racial/ethnic groups with disproportionate housing problems (at least ten percentage points higher than
the rate of housing problems in the general population) are listed below. Housing problems are defined
as housing cost burden greater than 30 percent, incomplete plumbing and/or kitchen facilities, and
overcrowding (more than 1 person per room). Severe housing problems include housing cost burden
greater than 50 percent, or any of the other 3 aforementioned housing problems.

NA-50 Non -Housing Community Development Needs - 91.415, 91.215 (f)
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities:
Feedback from a community -wide survey indicated that the greatest public facility needs for Cedar Falls
residents are mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities, child care centers, homeless
shelters, and youth centers. Additional needs according to City staff and resident feedback include bus
shelter repairs and park, playground, sidewalk, and trail improvements.
How were these needs determined?
These needs were determined through focus groups with agencies, non-profit organizations, and other
stakeholders, interviews, community wide surveys, and feedback discussions with community
development staff members.
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements:
Generally speaking, respondents to a community -wide survey perceived less need for infrastructure
improvements than for public facilities and services. The greatest infrastructure needs identified are
street and sidewalk improvements. The latter can be critical for LMI homeowners, who may not be able
to afford the improvements themselves. Additional needs identified by City staff — based on resident
feedback and quantitative data on infrastructure conditions and future capacity needs — include sanitary
sewer updates in LMI areas, bridge and culvert replacements, drainage improvements such as bio
swales and permeable alley paving, and streetscaping improvements.
How were these needs determined?
These needs were determined through focus groups with agencies, non-profit organizations, and other
stakeholders, interviews, community wide surveys, and feedback discussions with community
development staff members.
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services:
In tandem with the public facility needs identified by stakeholders, the greatest public service needs
include mental health and substance abuse treatment services; more child care options, especially
during evenings, weekends, and holidays; homeless assistance services, including more rapid re -housing
options, and youth programming. Additionally, more public transportation service, including more
routes and longer hours, was identified as a major need for LMI residents.

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
Cedar Falls, like many university towns, has a strong housing market. Although housing starts have not
recovered to their pre -recession levels, single-family housing permits hovered between 100 and 150 per
year from 2012 through 2016, according to Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) data. Multifamily permits have
increased in recent years, reaching nearly 80 housing units in 2016. The median home value in Cedar
Falls was $171,400 in 2016, a three percent increase since 2010 and a 20 percent increase since 2000,
adjusted for inflation (ACS 5-y 2016 and 2010; 2000 Census), while the median single-family permit
value was $219,367 in 2016 (IFA). The City's median contract rent (excluding utilities) was $619 in 2016,
a nine percent increase since 2010 and a 15 percent increase since 2000. Moreover, among vacant -for -
rent units, nearly half had a rent asked of $700 or more (ACS 2016). The most recent local data suggests
that available 1- and 2-bedroom rental units tend to start at the $750 to $1,000 range.
The owner and rental vacancy rates were two percent and six percent, respectively in 2016 (ACS),
compared to 1.8 percent and 6.4 percent in the 2010 Census. Owner and rental vacancy rates of two
percent and five percent are generally considered healthy, but a six percent rental vacancy rate is not
excessively high. More recent local data suggests that rental vacancy rates are increasing as new rental
developments come on-line, but that the increased supply has not necessarily lowered costs.
Cedar Falls' housing stock is generally in good condition. However, 16 percent of the City's owner -
occupied housing and 20 percent of its rental units were built before 1950. Some of these units may
have deferred maintenance needs, especially if the owners have low to moderate incomes (LMI).
Multiple public survey responses reported a need to rehabilitate older units, both to assist LMI property
owners and improve neighborhood appearance, especially in the North Cedar, College Hill, and College
Square neighborhoods. Across the City, 63 percent of owner units and 74 percent of rental units were
built before 1980. Of all owner and rental units, 890 (6 percent) and 273 (5 percent), respectively, were
built before 1980 and are occupied by at least one child under 6 years of age (2011-2015 CHAS).
Several distinct factors pose challenges to meeting affordable housing needs in Cedar Falls. Infill lots are
in short supply, and current zoning requirements in some older neighborhoods are prohibitive for
residential development on small lots. Additionally, the single-family home market experiences pressure
from investors who can realize a higher rate of return by converting homes into multiple rental units.
Recently, Cedar Falls initiated a temporary $10,000 forgivable loan program for homebuyers to convert
rental properties back to single family homes in certain neighborhoods.

final paragraphs
Low- and moderate -income families may have difficulty competing with student markets for single-
family rentals, since several students rooming in one dwelling can pay a higher aggregate rent than a
family with only one or two incomes. UNI students, for their part, have fewer affordable on -campus
housing options than in previous years. Although UNI enrollment has declined in recent years, and
vacancy rates are high among UNI's student housing portfolio, some older, lower -cost dormitories have
been demolished. To level the playing field between students and families, as well as avoiding
overcrowding of dwelling units and parking areas, the City limits the number of adult tenants based on
the number of bedrooms in rental units. UNI, meanwhile, is planning to increase the share of 2nd year
students who live on -campus (currently 47 percent), since on -campus living is strongly correlated with
college retention. The University is also renovating several dormitories to make student housing a more
viable and appealing option.
Finally, local stakeholders note that the pool of single-family and multi -family housing developers in
Cedar Falls is small, minimizing competition and limiting any incentive to provide housing that is
affordable to low-, moderate- and middle -income families (up to 120 percent AMI). Many Cedar Falls
stakeholders, from students to young professionals to LMI households and their advocates, have noted
the lack of a "missing middle" of decent -quality, moderately priced housing.
For some populations, such as those with physical disabilities that require accessibility features, the
shortage of affordable housing is especially dire. Housing subsidies for the lowest -income households in
Cedar Falls are limited. The City has 360 units in subsidized, privately owned rental developments — of
which the 128 units in The Villages at Park@Nine23 may be lost after 2025 due to affordability
restrictions ending. Additionally, the Cedar Falls Housing Authority offers 326 Housing Choice Vouchers
— of which only 215 are in use, since many rentals exceed the Cedar Falls Housing Authority's payment
standard (110 percent of Fair Market Rent). Many landlords are unwilling to participate in the Housing
Choice Voucher program, thereby further limiting the pool of units that are affordable to low- and very
low-income households. The Villages units that may be lost after 2025 are among the few rentals in
Cedar Falls that voucher holders can readily access.
As a result of the considerable need for affordable housing, the goals and objectives for Cedar Falls place
strong emphasis on housing for LMI populations, and on associated community services that CDBG can
feasibly fund.

Introduction
As a City and as part of the Cedar Valley region, Cedar Falls cultivates a diverse economic base, emphasizing its strengths of high -quality
education and training opportunities, a diligent regional workforce, and its location along major transportation corridors. Two main elements of
Cedar Falls' recent economic development efforts include its growing industrial parks, and its designation as Iowa's "first gigabit city" due to
extensive investment by Cedar Falls Utilities, its municipal utility, in a robust fiber optic network.
Among jobs located in Cedar Falls, the largest sectors are Retail Trade (19 percent), Arts, Entertainment, and Accommodations (17 percent),
Education and Health Care Services (15 percent) Transportation (9 percent), and Manufacturing (9 percent). Among workers who live in Cedar
Falls, the most common sectors that employ them are Manufacturing (20 percent), Education and Healthcare Services (18 percent), Retail Trade
(15 percent), and Arts, Entertainment, and Accommodations (13 percent). Cedar Falls has more jobs overall than workers (16,880 compared to
13,321). In terms of occupational categories, most Cedar Falls workers are in Management, Business, and Financial occupations (5,880 workers,
or 33 percent of total). The next most common occupation sectors are Sales and Office (5,675/32 percent) and Service occupations (3,120/18
percent).
Thirty-one percent of Cedar Falls' adult population has a Bachelor's degree or higher, while another nine percent and 38 percent have an
Associate's degree or some college education with no degree, respectively. Some college with no degree is the most common educational
attainment among young adults (18 to 24 years of age), while a Bachelor's degree is most common among prime working -age adults (25 to 64).
However, it is more common among 45-64-year-olds than among the 35-44 and 45-64 age groups. Among residents 65 years or older, the most
common educational attainment is a high school diploma. These numbers reflect both the presence of young adults enrolled at the University of
Northern Iowa, and the increasing importance of a college education in the labor market in recent decades.
The City's overall unemployment rate is a fairly healthy 4.96 percent. The unemployment for youths and young adults in the civilian labor force
(16 to 24) is 19.36 percent, while those age 25 to 64 have a very low unemployment rate of 2.09 percent. Unemployment rates and labor force
participation also vary by educational attainment. Median annual earnings also vary by educational attainment, from a low of $30,801 for high
school graduates to $61,621 for those with graduate and professional degrees. Surprisingly, the median annual earnings for those with less than
a high school diploma are higher than those for high school graduates. The reason for this is unknown, but may indicate that Cedar Falls workers
without a high school diploma are disproportionately employed in fields with a high base wage and/or ample opportunity for overtime pay.

Overall, Cedar Falls' economic profile highlights that the City is not homogeneous. As a result, Cedar Falls is not immune from the need for
affordable housing and services for workers whose incomes are low, and whose work schedules may be more unpredictable or more rigid than
in white-collar work environments. Moreover, Cedar Falls workers can benefit from economic development efforts that create living -wage jobs
at all skill levels.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction?
Among jobs located in Cedar Falls, the largest sectors are Retail Trade (19 percent), Arts, Entertainment, and Accommodations (17 percent),
Education and Health Care Services (15 percent) Transportation (9 percent), and Manufacturing (9 percent).
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for the region that includes Cedar Falls outlined the business community's workforce and
infrastructure needs.
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector

Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.
The City of Cedar Falls continues to expand its Industrial and Technology Park to the south, as well as the Northern Cedar Falls Industrial Park.
The City provides infrastructure in the industrial parks so that sites will be "shovel ready" for new businesses. Additionally, two Target
distribution centers have located in Cedar Falls in recent years, and the City has partnered with other local governments in the region to fund

three years of operations for The Millrace, a co -work and startup incubator facility. Moreover, the City's investments in street improvements
along University Avenue and Viking Road have spurred new investment along these commercial corridors. These investments are creating new
jobs, new housing demand, and additional workforce training needs.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
Employers report a shortage of skilled workers in the region — in advanced manufacturing, for example. Moreover, as sectors such as healthcare,
transportation, and education become more prominent in the region's economy, the need for workers possessing these skills may grow.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community
colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
In 2016, Cedar Falls, the region's second largest school district, passed a $32 million bond measure to fund a new elementary building as well as
the expansion of Orchard Hill and North Cedar elementary schools. The primary reason behind this effort was, in part, was due to the continued
and projected increase in elementary enrollment. According to the school, the district's student population grew by 850 over the past 10 years
and is expected to grow by an additional 1,100 students in the coming decade.
In 2016, the school district launched the Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) program. The program is a partnership with local
businesses to provide students with real -world experiences outside of the classroom focusing on career readiness skills. Initially, the program
has focused on engineering, computer science and information technology fields. Study is held at a host business for approximately 2.5 hours
each day where students focus on problem solving and completing projects in a business environment.
Hawkeye Community College, based in Waterloo, offers vocational/technical programs and continuing education opportunities in a wide range
of career choices, as well as general interest courses suited for any interest. Hawkeye Community College (HCC) is accredited as a 2-year liberal
arts institution with approximately 6,300 (3,000 full-time) students currently enrolled.
In recent years, Hawkeye has expanded its technical training and apprenticeship programs in response to regional workforce demands. HCC
offers HVAC, plumbing, and electrical apprenticeship curriculum approved by the Department of Labor. As part of the requirements, an
employer or local business sponsors students. HCC also offers programs for several technical high -demand jobs, including Industrial
Maintenance, Industrial Automation, Welding Technician & Technology, Tool and Die, Machining, and Computer -Numeric Control (CNC).

Hawkeye works in partnership with Cedar Valley IowaWORKS, the regional Iowa Workforce Development service center. IowaWORKS offers a
variety of programs to support job seekers, including PROMISE JOBS, which provides training and support to TANF recipients, services for
dislocated workers and those with disabilities, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) services for young adults, connections to
training in high -demand industries, and other programs. IowaWORKS focuses heavily on hard -to -serve populations.
The above -described efforts will support the Consortium's anti -poverty strategy by providing more opportunities for LMI residents to become
and remain self-sufficient. These efforts may also ease housing cost burdens by increasing workers' ability to buy or rent decent housing.
Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)?
Yes
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not,
describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth.
Several of Cedar Falls' economic development initiatives pursuant to the CEDS may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan. The City
endeavors to combine multiple community development and initiatives and expenditures, such as street, water, and sewer improvements, park
upgrades, streetscape improvements, transit infrastructure updates, and demolition of substandard properties, in particular neighborhoods in
need of new investment. Some of these areas overlap with LMI Census block groups, where CDBG funds may be combined with other City
revenue sources to fund improvements.
Discussion
Cedar Falls is best known as a university town, but the City endeavors to cultivate a diverse economic base that offers opportunities to residents
from all walks of life. By investing in its growing industrial parks, the City is capitalizing on the Cedar Valley region's comparative advantage in
advanced manufacturing capabilities. Additionally, the City supports information -based business sectors by supporting work space, high-speed
internet, and other resources for start-up businesses.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated?
(include a definition of "concentration")
According to HUD's Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Data and Mapping Tool, the share of
households with at least one housing problem is at least 10 percentage points higher in Census tracts
23.03 and 23.04 than in any other Census tract in Cedar Falls.
No Census tracts in Cedar Falls have a concentration of multiple housing problems. The Census Bureau
defines housing problems as housing cost burden greater than 30 percent, incomplete plumbing and/or
kitchen facilities, or overcrowding (more than 1 person per room). However, in Census tracts 22 and 25,
10 percent of renter households have 2 or more housing problems, according to 2016 ACS data. Census
tract 22 contains the oldest platted neighborhoods in Cedar Falls, and a relatively high percentage of
LMI households. Census tract 25 is in the College Square area, and its Block Group 3 is 51.3 percent LMI.
In most cases, rental units in these Census tracts with multiple housing problems are likely to be
experiencing housing cost burden and crowding, since incomplete kitchen/plumbing facilities are rare. It
is not known how many of these households are UNI students vs. non -student households that live in
crowded conditions out of necessity or preference.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income
families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
No Census tract has a "concentration" of specific racial or ethnic minorities according to HUD's
definition (10 percentage points higher than the citywide percentage). However, Census tract 23.04
(College Hill area) has the highest percentage of racial and ethnic minorities (11.8 percent and 4.0
percent, respectively, compared to 7.1 percent and 2 percent citywide).
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
This Census tract is near the University of Northern Iowa, and includes a substantial supply of private
rental housing occupied by students — which likely explains its relatively high racial and ethnic diversity.
The homeownership rate is only 52.1 percent, compared to 64.6 percent citywide. The overall housing
stock in this Census tract tends to be older, while the share of housing structures with 20 or more units
(15.9 percent) is about double the citywide rate. The percentage of homeowners without mortgages is
relatively high (46.7 percent, compared to 36.6 percent citywide), suggesting a relatively high share of
older homeowners who have paid off their mortgages. Median monthly housing costs for renters and
owners with mortgages are lower in this Census tract than citywide, but are somewhat higher for
owners without mortgages. A higher share of renters (61.6 percent, compared to 47.2 percent) pay 35
percent or more of their incomes on housing, which may reflect the presence of students (whose
education loans are not counted as income).
Consolidated Plan
CEDAR FALLS 222
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 444 of 546
Community feedback about this area indicates concerns about the prevalence of deteriorated
properties, many of which are rentals. Much of the rental stock is in older structures converted from
single-family homes. Many residents believe the rents charged for deteriorated units in this
neighborhood are unreasonably high. Additionally, residents are concerned about crime and disruptions
associated with the high student population. Because of these issues, community feedback indicates
that some older residents are being displaced, and the neighborhood is not considered family -friendly.
This led the City to change its rental review process and requirements in 2015, in hopes to counteract
these issues and improve rental property conditions.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?
The College Hill area has shopping, dining, and nightlife opportunities that are geared toward college
students but may appeal to other residents, especially younger demographics. Its proximity to the
University also offers educational and cultural opportunities, such as plays, concerts, art exhibits, and
lectures. This neighborhood includes the Hearst Center for the Arts, and also has some older homes with
historic value.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
Since the College Hill area has commercial and entertainment draws for young adults, and an abundance
of older housing, the Cedar Falls Comprehensive Plan (2012) and Strategic Plan (Future Forward Cedar
Falls 2025) recommends that this neighborhood be targeted for mixed -use development to expand
housing opportunities and spaces for businesses and artists to establish themselves. The City anticipates
implementing this recommendation by conducting visioning exercises and revising zoning regulations in
College Hill to accommodate mixed -use development. The City may update the College Hill Overlay
District zoning to meet this vision with new development or re -development, while protecting public
health, safety, and welfare.
The planned College Hill visioning and zoning updates are part of a broader effort that includes
downtown Cedar Falls and adjacent neighborhoods that are among the City's oldest. The intention is to
accommodate the compact, mixed -use nature of the development that has historically occurred in these
neighborhoods, and to maintain them as vibrant, functional, interconnected hubs of City life.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
The purpose of the Cedar Falls Strategic Plan is to outline a five-year course of action that the City may
follow when implementing their Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement
Program. Said Strategic Plan will identify priorities, needs, market conditions, and define goals and
action strategies, and is intended to address the Needs and Market Assessments that are part of the
City's overall Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan.
The City of Cedar Falls provides funding to four general programs including: housing development
programs, economic and community development programs, neighborhood or area programs, and
planning and administrative programs. Needs in these areas are designed to increase opportunities for
low -and -moderate income households to identify the availability of decent housing, safe and suitable
living environments and provide economic opportunities. As an overarching need, the community
identified affordable housing, which is quality and lower priced, when compared to the existing housing
market in the city.

General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the state
The City of Cedar Falls will focus its resources, budget and staff, in the areas deemed in greatest need of
improvement. Specifically, the City will use information and resources at its disposal for defining these
areas, including but not limited to neighborhoods, census tracts and block groups, adopted urban
renewal areas, and/or other geographic areas identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning
Ordinance, Overlay Districts, and renewal or revitalization boundaries, all within the City of Cedar Falls'
incorporated area.
The City will expend all CDBG resources under one of three National Objectives: Benefit to Low -and -
Moderate Income persons; Aiding in the Prevention or Elimination of Slums or Blight; or Meeting
Community Development Needs having a Particular Urgency. This final objective is defined as those
needs, that because of existing conditions, pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare
of the community, and where other financial resources are not available to meet such
needs. Implementation of the City's programs will be applied in one of two methods, citywide or in low -
Consolidated Plan
CEDAR FALLS 229
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 451 of 546
to -moderate income areas. Further, this section of the Strategic Plan integrates the Analysis of Fair
Housing Impediments into the planning process. Specifically, the recommendations and actions of the
AFH are being tied to goals and objectives of this plan.
Citywide:
The City of Cedar Falls will allocate housing rehabilitation and repair funds on a citywide
basis. Homeowners may apply directly to the City for funding, which the city prioritizes on a first
qualified, first served basis. A written application, income verification, and inspection will follow,
assuming the owner meets income guidelines. After need is determined, the scope of work is to be
defined and either bid (rehab projects) or procured using small bid guidelines established by the
city. The City's Housing Commission reviews and recommends all suitable projects to the City Council
for approval. Thereafter, contracts are executed by the parties and work is completed, with approvals
and reimbursements being made available to contractors during and at the end of the process.
Services provided, on behalf of the City, by agencies or organizations are also to be offered
citywide. The underlying reason for funding these services is to prevent the possibility of
homelessness. Eligible services will be consistent with CDBG guidelines, and may include, but not be
limited to: healthcare, financial literacy and counseling, sheltering, transportation, nutrition, substance
abuse, and family and children's counseling services.
New programs, such as down -payment assistance, first-time homebuyers, and Housing Choice Voucher
changes may also be implemented citywide. Also, all related planning and program administration are
intended to be offered citywide.
Additional basis for allocating
LMI Area Benefit (See Attached Map):
LMI Area Benefit Projects will be implemented in Census Tracts and Block Groups currently reporting
income levels at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). There are currently 7 census tracts with 8
block groups that have an LMI percentage of 51 percent or greater (ACS 2011-2015). Specifically, Census
tract 2200 block group 2 and 3; tract 2301 block group 3; tract 2303 block group 1; tract 2304 block
group 2; tract 2500 block group 3; tract 2603 block group 4; and tract 2604 block group 5. Categories
of projects that are targeted include: neighborhood infrastructure, transportation, park and recreation,
demolition and clearance, and accessibility (pedestrian) projects.
Application of the Waterloo and Cedar Falls Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (2014 and
2019 Draft) Recommendations and Actions
An analysis of Fair Housing Impediments was completed in 2014, and being currently updated, for the
Waterloo -Cedar Falls HOME Consortium, at about the same time as the current Consolidated Plan was
Consolidated Plan
CEDAR FALLS 230
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Page 452 of 546
being completed. A draft of the Analysis is scheduled to be updated concurrently with the new 2019-
2023 Consolidated Plan. Because the recommendations made in the Analysis, both the 2014 version
and 2019 draft, are still relevant, the Analysis will be used when evaluating the effectiveness of fair
housing initiatives for the next five years. The actions, outlined specifically for Cedar Falls, are
enumerated below and will be used for this planning process.
Public Sector Impediments: Market Based
23. Limited English -Speaking Population. Conduct a four -factor analysis to determine which current
systems for interpretation and translation are adequately serving the community. Ending with a
Language Access Plan.
24. Focus CDBG funding on the provision of affordable rental units.
25. Consider a renter -focused CDBG-funded affordable housing project.
26. Planning departments in Consortium work together to arrange for a workshop for developers
and landlords to broaden awareness of the concepts of universal design.
27. Provide incentives for employment training and apprenticeships aimed at residents of racially -
impacted neighborhoods.
28. Target homeownership counseling to residents of impacted neighborhoods.
Public Sector Impediments: Policy Based
29. Cedar Falls Human Rights Commission outreach project. Determine viability of using CDBG
funds to support an outreach project. Empower the Commission to enforce fair housing laws
rather than referring residents to the Iowa Civil Rights Commission
30. Consortium should continue to engage in regional planning efforts to most efficiently match bus
lines and stops with jobs, housing, and amenities.
Private Sector Impediments: Market Based
31. Consortium should consider testing for mortgage discrimination by a qualified entity in order to
more effectively target education, outreach, referral, and enforcement activities.
32. Apply for a grant for another round of testing, with particular emphasis on race and disability,
should be considered by the Consortium.
33. Legal review of nuisance and rental inspection ordinances to ensure whether enforcement is
consistent with applicable fair housing laws.

Table 82 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed
above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and
families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth)
As noted above, the City supports several agencies that address the needs of those persons that are
homeless. Also, the City is participating in the Black Hawk County Local Homeless Coordinating Board
(LHCB). Finally, the Cedar Falls Section 8 Program (may also be known as the Low Rent Housing Agency
or Cedar Falls Housing Authority) reduces the potential for homelessness by providing rent assistance in
the form of Housing Choice Vouchers.
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population
and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed
above
The strengths regarding the current delivery system is that the City is financially supporting service
providers that can accommodate special needs populations using their expertise and facilities, thus
preventing duplication of services in the community. An additional strength is the sheer number of
agencies, organization, and entities that can offer services to the community. Gaps include those
caused by funding limitations and an apparent lack of service education for residents and provider
coordination.
Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and
service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs
The Cedar Falls Housing Commission and City staff will continue to work to provide strategies that
minimize gaps in the service delivery system. As noted, the city works with multiple non-profit and
private organizations to address a host of housing and non -housing community development needs and

City has discussed continuing the conversation between local government and the agencies,
organizations, and entities that participated in the public input process within this plan.

SP-65 Lead -based Paint Hazards - 91.415, 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards
The Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governments directly, or through its subcontractor, provides
lead risk assessment and completes lead- based paint clearance testing on the housing rehabilitation
projects in Cedar Falls. If abatement work is completed, the entire property/project is cleaned. At least
one hour after the final cleaning a certified inspector does a visual examination to ensure there are no
paint chips, dust, debris, or bare soil. The inspector then takes a dust sample from the window troughs,
windowsills, and floors. The sampling is then tested in accordance with the HUD guidelines. In addition,
per unit rehab budgets also include funds for relocation of families impacted by lead, as well as for
addressing lead hazards such that units can be considered safe.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?
As noted above, lead -based hazard reduction measures are included in all housing rehabilitation
projects, the Housing Choice Voucher program, specifically in actions and budgets. These efforts will
continue during the lifespan of this plan.

SP-70 Anti -Poverty Strategy - 91.415, 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty -Level Families
The City of Cedar Falls is interested in retaining as well as improving the abilities of its workforce, which
includes encouraging job skill development, job training, education, and other program opportunities
that may arise, as a means of supporting self-sufficiency and reducing poverty. This includes working
with its local businesses and industries and economic development professionals to do so. In addition,
the City will work with local service providers to pursue resources and innovative partnerships to
support the development of affordable housing; prevent homelessness, abuse, and substance abuse;
offer housing education and literacy; and provide emergency food and shelter.
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this
affordable housing plan
The City staff, and/or their contractor(s), will be tasked to coordinate the services provided under the
CDBG Entitlement, HOME, and Housing Choice Vouchers Programs with other programs designed to
serve persons at the poverty level. Specifically, the City is hoping to develop a forum that would include
the public sector and the agencies offering services to the community, which would be designed as a
continuation of the discussions that occurred during the focus group meetings that were part of this
planning effort.
Community outreach is key in enhancing coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies. INRCOG staff, which helps the City manage the CDBG Entitlement Program, attends
Community Resource Fairs, and workshops with a number of local public service agencies and non-profit
organizations. The meetings offer opportunities to foster relationships as well as identify the services
each organization and/or agency is providing. By educating participating organizations on services
available in the community, we are better positioned to meet the needs of the low -moderate -income
individuals and households in the city.

SP-80 Monitoring - 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities
carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with
requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the
comprehensive planning requirements
The City of Cedar Falls uses numerous methods of ensuring the projects funded under the CDBG
Entitlement program comply with federal standards and requirements, including the National Objectives
for the CDBG Program. Further, said monitoring will utilize this plan and the Analysis of Fair Housing as
the foundations and impetus for actions taken and implemented using CDBG funding in the
community. In short, expenditure of funds will be consistent with the goals outlined in both planning
documents.
All direct housing rehabilitation and repair projects will be conducted according to prescribed
requirements, including written applications, income verifications, procurement, contracting,
inspections, and closeout procedures. Only low -to -moderate income households will be assisted.
Any agencies receiving funding will be required to compete for funds, develop eligible proposals,
provide quarterly reports, and be monitored for compliance and effectiveness. The City of Cedar Falls
intends to continue working with public service agencies and nonprofit organizations to ensure it is
reaching the goal of assisting residents with the greatest need. In addition, we will work with code
enforcement and other departments to identify potential at -risk residents. Declining resources have
been a key impediment to addressing needs. By networking with other agencies, we can combine
multiple funding sources to provide more services to low -and -moderate income residents. Low -and -
moderate income limited clientele services will be assisted, as is allowed.
City -directed projects will be implemented according to CDBG eligibility, monitoring, and reporting
requirements. This will include all neighborhood projects, the scope of which shall be limited to low -
and -moderate income areas, as defined by the US Census Bureau.
Finally, the Housing Commission and City Council will review and approve this Consolidated Plan, each
Annual Action Plan adopted under this Consolidated Plan, as well as each Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), which summarizes the accomplishments and efforts made
under the CDBG Entitlement Program, all after conducting the required, appropriate public input
processes outlined in the City's Public Participation Plan.
All CDBG funds expended will be subject to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and
the City's auditing and monitoring processes. In addition, planning and administrative work performed
by INRCOG are subject to its independent auditing and records inspections processes as well.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
In order to serve Cedar Falls residents, funding will be allocated toward making housing more
affordable, preserving existing affordable housing stock, increasing affordable housing, supporting low -
to -moderate income neighborhood investment, and assisting citizens with accessing services. Funding
will be focused on meeting two National CDBG Objectives, assisting low -to -moderate income persons
and eliminating slum and blight in the community.
The primary barrier for assisted households is, and has been, the price of housing. Further, the
resources available for the program outlined in this plan have been static, or even declining in some
years. Conversely, the regulations and requirements associated with funded projects have increased
along with administrative expenditures

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
As noted above, the City will only assist individual LMI households under activities 1, 2, and 6, and it
plans to fund agencies serving LMI households or offering LMI Limited Clientele, as is allowed annually
under activity 4. Also, it plans to use funds to benefit LMI areas within the community for activities 3, 5,
7, 8, and 9 shown above. To that end, there are currently 7 census tracts with 8 block groups that have
an LMI percentage of 51 percent or greater (ACS 2011-2015). Specifically, Census tract 2200 block group
2 and 3; tract 2301 block group 3; tract 2303 block group 1; tract 2304 block group 2; tract 2500 block
group 3; tract 2603 block group 4; and tract 2604 block group 5. These areas may receive funding
assistance for improving infrastructure, transportation connectivity, and park and recreational amenities
and services.
Discussion
The qualifying block groups are scattered throughout the community, and the City does intend to use
CDBG funding to support LMI-specific areas. Most of the agency or family support programs funded
through CDBG and these programs are based on an individual household LMI determination or on a
Limited Clientele basis. Rehabilitation programs, and those benefitting a specific household, will require
participants to meet LMI income guidelines.
The City was unable to amend the table in this section. With that said, for the life of this Annual Action
Plan, the City has projected that it will expend 19 percent of its budget on specific low -and -moderate
income households under its homeowner and rental rehabilitation programs citywide, while planning to
expend 67 percent of its overall budget for LMI area benefit projects. Public service support citywide is
projected to be six percent and planning and administration eight percent.

Introduction
The City of Cedar Falls is able to address obstacles to meeting the underserved needs through
networking with public service agencies and nonprofit organizations to prevent homelessness and
provide affordable housing to Cedar Falls residents. Also, the City is working to maintain the affordable
housing stock in the area and provide decent and safe conditions to its residents.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Cedar Falls will continue to work with public service agencies and nonprofit organizations to
ensure we are reaching the goal of assisting residents with the greatest need. In addition, we will work
with code enforcement and other departments to identify potential at -risk residents. Declining
resources have been a key impediment to addressing needs. By networking with other agencies, we
can combine multiple funding sources to provide more services to low -and -moderate income residents.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
Cedar Falls continues to work to foster and maintain affordable housing. The Housing Rehabilitation and
Repair Programs assist qualified homeowners with substantial home rehabilitation or repairs to existing
units. Funding has also been provided to provide financial education classes and planning, as well as
family support services. Habitat for Humanity encourages affordable housing through new construction
and housing rehabilitation programs that they manage within the community. In addition, the City offers
reduced refuse, sewer and storm water fees to households below the 50% income guidelines. This is
accomplished by the City using its general funds to assist, which in -turn lowers the cost of housing.
Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
The Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governments directly, or through its subcontractor, provides
lead risk assessment and completes lead- based paint clearance testing on the housing rehabilitation
projects in Cedar Falls. The City will continue to work with local, county, regional and other government
agencies to achieve lead safe homes. The city provides "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home"
brochure to educate CDBG applicants about the dangers of lead in the home.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
Cedar Falls has incorporated the Continuum of Care approach, providing an integrated system of
services and programs to meet the various needs of individuals as they progress toward financial self-
sufficiency. Cedar Falls has worked with local service providers to pursue resources and innovative
partnerships to support the development of affordable housing; prevent homelessness, abuse, and
substance abuse; offer housing education and literacy; and provide emergency food and shelter.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City, including Community Development Department and its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
Program (which may also be known as the Cedar Falls Low Rent Housing Agency or Cedar Falls Housing
Authority), and their contractor, the Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governments will work to
strengthen the institutional structure used to manage the CDBG Entitlement Program. Together, they
will also work to close the housing delivery gap between public and non-public organizations in the
community. Said organizations will also address the gap that exists with regard to private housing
industry participation in developing the City's institutional structure. Specifically, the Section 8 Housing
Choice Voucher Program will work with private industry to increase and maintain affordable housing
stock for low -to -moderate income households. Through experience, participation in local, regional (PHA
Director Association), state (Iowa NAHRO, Iowa Association of Housing Officials), and national (NAHRO,
American Planning Association) housing and planning organizations, educational opportunities, and
peer -to -peer exchanges with other CDBG Entitlement recipients, staff -members will become more
proficient in executing, managing, assessing, and anticipating change within the program. Further, the
same entities, together with the City of Waterloo Community Development Department, will continue
to do likewise with the institutional structure associated with administering the HOME Program.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
Community outreach is key in enhancing coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies. Staff attends Community Resource Fairs, and workshops with a number of local public
service agencies and non-profit organizations. The meetings offer opportunities to foster relationships
as well as identify the services each organization and/or agency is providing. By educating participating
organizations on services available in the community, we are better positioned to meet the needs of the
low -moderate -income individuals and households in the city

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF
WATERLOO, IOWA, BY ENACTING A NEW SECTION 5-2-14, PEDESTRIAN
SAFETY, USE OF MEDIANS.
BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Waterloo, Iowa, that:
Section 1. That the Municipal Code of the City of Waterloo, Iowa, 2020, as heretofore
amended, is hereby amended by adding and enacting new Section 5-2-14, relating to pedestrian
safety and use of medians, as follows:
Sec. 5-2-14. Pedestrian Safety, Use of Medians.
A. The City Council makes the following findings and adopts the following statement of
purposes of this section:
1. Pedestrian fatalities increased in the United States by 46% from 2009 to
2016, with the largest increases in urban arterial streets, according to the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
2. Fifty percent of pedestrians who are struck by a vehicle travelling at 30
miles per hour are killed; as speed increases, a higher percentage of people struck
are killed, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Literature Review
on Vehicle Travel Speeds and Pedestrian Injuries (2000).
3. The National Association of City Transportation Officials Urban Street
Design Guide (2011) states that a median or island should be at least six feet wide
where pedestrians are present. This is consistent with the Public Rights of Way
Accessibility Guidelines promulgated by the United States Access Board which
specify that a pedestrian refuge in a street must have a top surface width of six
feet, excluding curbs.
4. Section 240 of the City of Waterloo Traffic Code provides that
pedestrians crossing a street in the business district shall cross in crosswalks
only. In the ten years preceding, ten pedestrian fatalities have occurred in
Waterloo. There have been 341 pedestrian injuries.
5. The City Engineer has determined based on City GIS maps and/or, where
appropriate, site visits that the intersections listed in subsection (b) of this
Ordinance do not have medians or islands of adequate width for pedestrian
refuge; therefore, pedestrians should be prohibited from standing, sitting or
staying in the medians at these intersections for any purpose other than to cross
the street, if crossing is lawful.
Page 529 of 546
B. Pedestrians are prohibited from standing, sitting or staying on a median or ramp nose
for any purpose other than to cross the street, if lawful, unless the width of the top surface
of the median, excluding the curbs is at least 6 feet wide. This prohibition includes, but is
not limited to, medians and ramp noses on or near legs feeding the following
intersections in the city:
E. San Marnan Drive and 218/380 Ramps

C. Pedestrians are prohibited from standing, sitting or staying on a median or ramp nose

surface of the median, or ramp nose along the following streets or rights -of -way:
San Marnan Drive from Texas Street to Ansborough Avenue

police department or employees of the fire department while performing official
duties of the city.
2. Employees or contractors for the city or other individuals authorized by
the city to perform construction or maintenance work on city streets or rights -
of -way, while performing construction or maintenance work on the street
provided that proper signage is used and streets are blocked off as
required by the city.
Page 530 of 546
3. Any individual responding to an emergency in the street.
E. The penalties for violating this Section shall be a simple misdemeanor pursuant to
Title 1, Chapter 3, Subsection 1 (1-3-1).
Section 2. Should any section or part of any section, paragraph or clause of this
ordinance be declared invalid or unconstitutional for any reason, it shall not invalidate or impair
the validity, force or effect of any other section or sections or part of a section or paragraph of
this ordinance
Section 3. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage

Minutes of The
City of Waterloo Complete Streets Advisory Committee Meeting
April 21, 2020
Meeting of the City of Waterloo Complete Streets Advisory Committee was called to order at 1:33pm
February 18, 2020 Chairperson Cass. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic the meeting was held via the Zoom
online meeting application.
Roll Call: Members present electronically: Mohammad Elahi, Ray Feuss, Brian Schoon, Paul Huting, Pat
Morrissey, Wayne Castle, Codie Leseman, Jessica Rucker, Kevin Blanshan, Janet Buls (2:00 p.m.), and

Other people attending: Kayla Dunning — Citizen and Kyle Durant — INRCOG
It was moved by Rucker, seconded by Morrissey to approve the minutes of the February 18, 2020
meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
Focus Item
• Leseman suggested that the committee have a focus project for the year.
• One suggested project would be to create bike lanes on the 6th Avenue bridge when the Park
Avenue bridge is replaced.
• Other projects to consider:
o Walking Audit
o Martin Luther King, Jr. Trail connection
o Pedestrian master plan
o Downtown sidewalks
o Changing the city policy on street width.
• The question was asked if the 6th street project would be temporary but should be permanent.
o Elahi stated that the current numbers show that adding a bike lane to thee 6th street bridge
would not affect traffic.
o It was noted that there is no money available for complete streets in 2020 due to the
number of projects that will be upcoming in the next couple of years.
o Would not be very expensive, mainly paint and possibly jersey barriers.
• It was noted that the committee does not have a strategic plan.
• Discussion if bike lanes should be on 5th street bridge but it was pointed out that at the present
time there would be no connections to a bike lane on 5th street on the west side of the river.
It was moved by Rucker, seconded by Morrissey to create a focus item for the committee to
concentrate on. Motion passed 7 —1 (Cass voted Nay).
Buls joined the meeting at 2:OOpm.
Waterloo Strategic Plan
• No update
Park Avenue & 11 Street Bridges
Page 535 of 546
Complete Streets Advisory Committee
April 21, 2020
• Design work for both the Park Avenue bridge and 11th Street bridge is underway by Stanley
Consultants
• Possible to have both on street and off street bicycling facilities.
• Park Avenue and 11th Street may be reconstructed from US Highway 218 to Franklin, and would
likely change from 4-lanes to 3-lanes
• Elahi will coordinate his bicycle light project with the bridge contractor.
• Elahi applied for a grant to add green pain to bike lanes which will pay for 50 gallons of paint
which should pay for the section from Mulberry to Franklin
Downtown Trees
• Deeds went over JSA's plans for trees along their property in downtown.
• JSA will work on making sure trees are watered since they do not want to invest the money into
the trees then have them die.
• JSA has been working with the city forester to select the appropriate types of trees and locations.
• There is about 175 trees planned for the downtown area in the long range plan.
• Goal is not just replace sidewalk panels but to improve them.
• Suggested having project ready to go since there will probably be stimulus money for shovel ready
projects.
• Question about trees along the portion of the parking garage that faces Park Avenue since it looks
barren but there is concern about utilities as they are everywhere in downtown including electrical.
• JSA is paying for the sections along their buildings and are working with other owners giving the
choice to be part of the project or just doing their sidewalks.
• JSA will also be refurbishing the buildings along Jefferson in addition to planting the trees.
• There will be at least 2 varieties of trees that JSA will be planting.
Pedestrian Master Plan
• There are four types of projects that need to be looked at including: infill, stand alone, corridor,
and associated with new developments or redevelopments. Currently only the stand-alone is being
looked at.
• There was discussion about a block by block pedestrian plan which would look for problems block
by block with an example being that there is no connection for persons walking along the north
side of Columbus Circle to cross Lawnhill to the other side. However, there was concerns about
doing a block by block plan.
• Dunning asked about the situation in her neighborhood such as Hammond and Ridgeway to which
it was suggested that a petition be put together and the signatures of the people in the areas
supporting sidewalks. It was noted that there had never been a situation where a neighborhood
petitioned for sidewalks and it would be interesting to see how the city would handle it.
• Morrissey mentioned the City Council Work Session from the April 20th where one city council
member asked the City Attorney to look at banning people from using the medians of streets to
walk along or stand on in order to get rid of panhandlers. However, there is no sidewalks in the
Crossroads area making it dangerous for people to walk.

• Dornoff went over the Planning & Zoning Commission agenda.
• The only item on the agenda is the rezone of a property at 122 Black Hawk Road that has sidewalk
along Black Hawk Road, but does not have sidewalk along Paul Avenue or Janney Avenue. The
rezone is to allow a new use for the existing facility, and no major changes are planned.
SNAP/Physical Project
• INRCOG is working on a project to encourage and educate physical activity among seniors in low
income apartment complexes.
• Project would focus at Crossroads, Camelot, and Stokes.
Other Project Updates
• Elahi stated that the Ridgeway study is in its final stages. Doing three lanes will have major
problems at 3 intersections. Complete streets are part of the planning process. There is a
possibility that an 8' trail on one side of the road will be part of the recommendations.
• Because of the Amusement Park project the La Porte/Hess study is starting its focus on the south
side of the corridor then will move north.
• Morrissey asked about the status of the bike path along US Highway 63 from Conger to Parker.
Other Discussion
• Suggested to see if AECOM come back next month to give updates on University Avenue, US
Highway 63 enhancements, and La Porte/Hess.

and consideration. We are also looking at a Post COMM 19 Program Reset strategy to
attempt to make this transition .as smooth as possible. Everyone is responsible for reporting
