The majority of all policies pertain to the entire County and are identified as JOINT CITY /COUNTY POLICIES. However, some policies pertain to only one jurisdiction and therefore are specially referenced as a CITY OF NAPLES POLICY or a COUNTY POLICY. Policies that are asterisked ( *) are included for informational purposes only pursuant to Chapter 163. Policies identified as COUNTY POLICIES are not being adopted by the City of Naples. Policies identified as CITY POLICIES are not being adopted by Collier County. These policies are provided for informational purposes only. * Indicates adopted portions. Note: Support documents will be introduced and updated as current information becomes available. ii (II) I. INTRODUCTION (II) The goal of the Housing Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan is "to create an adequate supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for all residents of Collier County." With the exception of housing opportunities provided to citizens of very modest means, the provision and maintenance of housing is traditionally a function of the private market. The development of private housing in Collier County is driven by an expensive housing stock; effectively excluding low- income and working class families from the housing market. Thus, there is a need for the County to find ways to encourage the provision of affordable- workforce housing for these families. (II) In Collier County, encouragement of the provision of affordable- workforce housing is the responsibility of the Collier County Operations Support and Housing Department. The purpose of the Department's grants and affordable- workforce housing programs is to increase the supply of affordable- workforce housing countywide, through management of the County's Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The trust fund has enabled the County to implement the following programs: • Impact fee deferrals, • Housing rehabilitation and emergency repair, • Down payment / closing cost assistance, • Land acquisition with new construction, • Demolition with new construction, • Special needs housing and pre- approved building plans, • Meeting community needs by facilitating the creation of affordable- workforce housing opportunities; the improvement of communities; and the sustainability of neighborhoods. (II) Collier County will continue to address its affordable- workforce housing deficit by working collaboratively with non - profit groups, governmental agencies, and public /private coalitions to coordinate activities and effectively leverage the resources available to the entire County. The most current data available from the University of Florida Shimberg Center is considered in assessing the County's affordable- workforce housing deficit.
