Welcome to the Neighborhood Services Division! Neighborhood Services is located at 521 Nebraska Street. We strive to create affordable and safe housing, improve neighborhoods, and expand economic development opportunities. Working within these goals we create programs that provide affordable housing, neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and services to low-income and special needs populations within Sioux City.

In order to carry out our programs we use several federal funding sources from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD):

  • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
  • Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program
  • Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program
  • Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Program
  • Healthy Homes Production Grant Program

If you would like more information about these funding sources, call us at 712-279-6328 or email us.  

 The following reports are required by HUD and detail how we use CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds:

Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (Please click link for documents): The cities of Sioux City, IA; South Sioux City, NE; and Dakota City, NE; are recognized as a HUD consortium for the purposes of receiving annual federal grants through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the HOME Investment Partnership Program and the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) program. Receipt of HUD funds requires the consortium to certify that it will “affirmatively further fair housing.” As a result, the three cities have to conduct an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, develop actions to overcome the effects of identified impediments to fair housing choice and maintain records to support the City's initiatives to affirmatively further fair housing. HUD defines an impediment to fair housing as any action, omission or decision that restricts or has the effect of restricting the availability of housing choices based on race, color, religion, sex, disability (physical or mental), familial status or national origin. In Iowa, protection under state human rights law is extended to include discrimination based on gender identity. In addition to these provisions, the City of Sioux City extends further protection based on age and marital status. Nebraska’s Fair Housing Act does not expand upon the federally protected classes.
