Strategies:a) Provide additional education to housing developers, architects, builders, Citygovernments, and the general public about the importance and practicality of adoptinguniversal design standards to meet the growing need for more affordable, accessible homebuilding. Universal design features no-step entries, single-story floor plans, wider entry andhallways, reachable cabinetry and appliances, user-friendly doorknobs and handles, andaccommodations for grab bars and accessible bathrooms. The concept is to allow persons to livecomfortably throughout all stages of life and age in place without moving to a more accessible unit.Activities:1) Universal Design Guide: Create an inventory of accessible home designs using universal designprinciples and make the designs available to developers, architects and builders. Designs shouldvary to accommodate smaller lot sizes and character of existing neighborhoods, as well as thenewer subdivisions being constructed on the edges of the City.b) Expand affordable rental housing options for the physically disabled. Advocates for thedisabled population estimate that less than 5% of the housing stock is accessible. This supply isinsufficient for the existing disabled population and will prove to become increasingly inadequate as thepopulation continues to age.Activities:1) Inventory of Accessible Rental Units: Create an inventory of accessible rental housing options forthe disabled population and create a system for linking accessible units to persons that need them.2) Subsidized Accessible Housing: Identify additional Section 8 vouchers or public housing options forextremely low and low income disabled population.3) Developer Incentives: Provide tax incentives or fee waivers for developers to construct accessibleunits in multi-family housing developments, beyond what is required by the Americans withDisabilities Act.4) Home Accessibility Retrofit Program: 8-10 per year (40-50 for the 5-year period). Provide rehabassistance for property owners to make existing affordable units accessible for persons withdisabilities. This program is currently offered by the City and is available to both owner-occupantsand renters. (FY 10/11 Budget: $60,000 CDBG)c) Preserve and expand homeownership opportunities for persons with disabilities. Personswith disabilities face two major difficulties in pursuing homeownership. The first is affordability, sincemany disabled persons live on fixed incomes that are well below the area median. Second, if they areable to afford to purchase, locating a unit that suits their individual needs is often impossible.Activities:1) Inventory of Accessible Owner Units: As noted in the strategy above, the creation of an inventoryof accessible home purchase options for the disabled population would be very beneficial to thosewishing to purchase a home. This task could be accomplished by the Association of Realtorsworking in conjunction with an advocacy group such as PACE.2) Home Accessibility Retrofit Program: Provide financial and technical assistance to retrofit owneroccupiedunits for homebuyer with a disability and expand marketing efforts so that moreindividuals are aware of existing programs. (FY 10/11 Budget: $60,000 CDBG)Strategic Plan: Affordable Housing 81
3) Accessible New Construction: Provide developer subsidies or create other incentives for theconstruction of additional units of affordable accessible housing. Use the Ashland Park subdivisionas a model for the future development of housing built to universal design standards.4) Visitable New Construction: 2-3 per year (10-15 in a 5-year period). Continue to construct allpublicly financed units to the City’s visitability standards and build to full accessibility standardsbased upon the needs of a disabled buyer. Visitability standards were reviewed and adopted bythe Code Review Committee and City Council in 2001.5) Homebuyer Assistance: 2-3 per year (10-15 in a 5-year period). Provide down paymentassistance or other subsidies to disabled persons interested in becoming first-time homebuyersthrough existing homeownership assistance programs or programs targeted specifically to specialneeds populations. PACE offers a homebuyer assistance program that involves downpaymentsubsidy plus buyer education in financial, homeownership, and accessibility issues. The City’s rolein the PACE Homeownership Coalition is to assist in developing guidelines for the program, providetechnical assistance with grant writing, and assist in homeowner education classes.d) Support the development of housing with supportive services for adults withdevelopmental disabilities. With the proper support services, many of the developmentallydisabled are able to live in group home or independent living settings integrated within the community.This allows many individuals to work or attend classes, and lead satisfying and self-sufficient lives.Activities:1) Housing with Supportive Services: Preserve and increase the number of independent housingunits and group homes with supportive services for the developmentally disabled, particularlythose affordable to low-income households. The Neighborhood Stabilization Program can providesubsidy to construct or renovate homes in partnership with agencies serving families working withDevelopmental Services Center.e) Expand residential options with supportive services for persons with mental illness,alcohol or substance dependencies, and HIV/AIDS. There continues to be a need for additionalhousing options – both transitional and permanent – for persons with these disabling conditions.Housing plus supportive services will allow individuals to maintain independence and prevent therecurring pattern of homelessness that can be prevalent with special populations.f) Support the development of housing with supportive services for adults with dualdiagnoses. There is a need for more supportive housing options for persons with two or moredisabling conditions, such as persons with substance abuse issues and HIV/AIDS, or mental health andsubstance abuse issues.Activities:1) Permanent Housing and Assertive Community Treatment (PHACT). 12 units. Provena BehavioralHealth, on behalf of Prairie Center Health Services, Greater Community AIDS Project, and City ofUrbana submitted an application to HUD for 25 units of supportive permanent housing in ascattered site environment for the dually diagnosed. 12 units were approved. Supportive servicesinclude case management, treatment, and other services depending upon the needs of theindividuals housed.g) Provide a range of housing options for the elderly, with special focus on extremely low- tolow-income households. Many communities are seeing the need to respond proactively to theincreasing age of their citizenry by providing housing for seniors that covers the continuum from82 Strategic Plan: Affordable Housing
