City Steps 2025: City seeks public input on community needs
The City is seeking the public's input on affordable housing, community development, and economic development needs in Iowa City over the next five years as part of its City Steps 2025 plan.
Residents are invited to share their ideas at a series of public meetings about how to spend federal funds to benefit low-to-moderate income residents. The meetings will be held next week at various locations throughout the community, including:
6-7 p.m., Tuesday, June 18 at the Broadway Neighborhood Center, 2105 Broadway St.
1:30-2:45 p.m., Wednesday, June 19 at Emma Harvat Hall in City Hall, 410 E. Washington St.
6-7 p.m., Wednesday, June 19 at Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood Center, 2651 Roberts Road.
Childcare will be available for children ages 1-8 at the Broadway and Pheasant Ridge events. Space is limited for childcare at the two events, so please register before with the Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County by calling 319-354-7989.
City Steps 2025 is part of the City's 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan. Each year, the City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funds from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). To continue receiving these funds, the City must identify and prioritize needs in the community, and then explain how it will address those needs. Resident participation is key for creating a plan that accurately reflects the needs of Iowa City.
A series of stakeholder workshops will be held the same week. For more information, visit http://icgov.org/CitySteps2025.
