Introduction Collier County conducted significant public outreach to garner input from county staff, government agencies, nonprofit agencies, affordable housing developers and managers, local service providers, the Collier County Housing Authority (CCHA), and others in preparing this plan. The County held four community meetings open to the general public, conducted focus groups for low and moderate income individuals, and interviewed key stakeholders in person and by phone. Additionally, 91 local residents and/or employees completed surveys regarding community development and housing priorities. These outreach efforts are summarized in the Citizen Participation section of this 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)). In developing this plan, the County's needs assessment process involved outreach to housing providers such as the Collier County Housing Authority, Habitat for Humanity, Foundation for the Developmentally Disabled, and Immokalee Housing and Family Services, as well as many health, mental health, and other service agencies. A common theme heard from these and other stakeholders was the need for a continued and enhanced relationship between housing and services. Under their previous Consolidated Plan, Collier County provided funds for several projects designed to strengthen the housing-services link, including the use of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds to purchase homes for the Foundation for the Developmentally Disabled and CDBG funding for Youth Haven shelter facility improvements, services and facility improvements at the Shelter for Abused Women and Children, building acquisition and rehabilitation for housing for persons with disabilities by Community Assistance and Supportive Living, and computer kiosks at various David Lawrence Center locations. Additionally, through the State of Florida Department of Children and Families, Collier County received a grant to support its Forensic Intensive Reintegration Support Team (FIRST), which works with persons with mental illnesses re-entering the community from jail. Between 2011 and 2014, the County worked with 162 participants, of whom 89% were not re-arrested. The grant was renewed for the 2014 to 2017 period. In addition to enhancing coordination through the use of HUD funds, Collier County encourages dialogue and collaboration between housing and service agencies through the Collier County Hunger & Homeless Coalition, which serves as the lead agency for the County's Continuum of Care. The Hunger& Homeless Coalition holds regular meetings in Naples, and members include more than 60 public and private agencies within the region. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 11 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 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 Members of Collier County's Continuum of Care who participated in individual interviews and/or attended community meetings to share input on homeless needs included the Collier County Hunger & Homeless Coalition, AVOW Hospice, Collier County Housing Authority, Collier County Sheriff's Office, David Lawrence Center, Goodwill of Southwest Florida, Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida, Immokalee Housing & Family Services, Legal Aid, St. Matthew's House, Immokalee Friendship House, and Shelter for Abused Women and Children. Member organizations were also invited to participate in the community-wide needs assessment survey. Interviewees discussed the needs of chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth, and persons at risk of becoming homeless. Recent activities by the County to address and/or prevent homelessness have included improvements at the Youth Haven youth shelter and the Shelter for Abused Women and Children; legal services to victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and child abuse through Legal Aid; operating assistance to the Shelter for Abused Women and Children; short term rental assistance for homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing; tenant-based rental assistance through CCHA; and upgrades to electrical systems at CCHA properties. 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 Collier County Hunger and Homeless Coalition (CCHHC) serves as the lead agency for Collier County's Continuum of Care. To provide input regarding priority homeless needs, the Hunger and Homeless Coalition's executive director participated in an interview during the needs assessment process. Representatives of other Hunger and Homeless Coalition member organizations also participated in interviews, community meetings, and the survey. Reports by the CoC including the 2014 Needs & Gap Survey, the 2014 Subpopulation Needs Survey, the 2015 Point in Time Homeless County, and 20/20 Vision: A Clear View of Housing for All Members of Collier County were also used in determining priority homeless needs for ESG funding. To determine funding allocations and performance standards, the CoC reviews ESG applications and anticipated outcomes and provides funding recommendations to Collier County. As of May 2015, the Hunger & Homeless Coalition was named as the HMIS Lead for the County, replacing Catholic Charities of Collier County. In this role, CCHHC works with Collier County and local organizations to ensure that service usage by client is tracked over time, and that data is Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 12 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) CAO shared between agencies to provide a complete look at service delivery in Collier County. HMIS data is also used by the County and the CoC to identify local homeless needs, resource gaps, and funding priorities. 2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe the jurisdictions consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities Collier County invited more than 50 local and regional agencies to provide input for the Consolidated Plan via focus groups, public meetings, in-person or telephone interviews, and/or participation in a survey regarding housing and community development needs. The County also advertised the planning process and ways to get involved through ads in the Naples Daily News, on the Community and Human Services division website, on a website designed specifically for the project, and through flyers in English, Spanish, and Creole.

Collier County will foster coordination and collaboration with public and private entities by making grants to organizations to achieve Consolidated Plan goals. Among the local, regional, and state organizations the County has worked with to implement their previous Consolidated Plan include the City of Naples, Habitat for Humanity of Collier County, Collier County Housing Authority, the State of Florida State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP), United Cerebral Palsy of Southwest Florida, and many others. Over the upcoming Consolidated Plan cycle, Collier County will continue collaboration with the Collier County Sherriff Office and the David Lawrence Center for the Forensic Intensive Reintegration Support Team (FIRST) grant received through the Florida Department of Children and Families. This program provides persons with substance abuse or mental health issues leaving the judicial system with assistance to prevent homelessness or re-incarceration. The County will also continue to offer purchase assistance funds for first time homebuyers available through the State of Florida SHIP program. Additionally, the CCHA has received a $9.25 million grant from USDA to fund renovation of 315 of its farmworker housing units. The 18-month renovation program is expected to be completed in 2017.

The current economic recession has substantially increased the number of households experiencing housing problems and cost burdens. HUD receives a "special tabulation" of data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) that is largely not available through standard Census products. These "special tabulation" data provide counts of the numbers of households that fit certain combinations of HUD-specified criteria such as housing needs, HUD-defined income limits (primarily 30, 50, and 80 percent of area median income) and household types of particular interest to planners and policy-makers. This data, known as the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, is used by local governments for housing planning and as part of the Consolidated Planning process. Assessing the specific housing needs of Collier County is critical to creating a realistic and responsive affordable housing strategy. As such, an assessment of the County's affordable rental and single family homes was conducted based on available demographic, economic and housing data.for Collier County utilizing HUD's new eCon Planning Suite downloaded in the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). The eCon Planning Suite pre-populates the most up-to-date housing and economic data available to assist jurisdictions identify funding priorities in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. Highlights of this assessment are provided in this section. • Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 25 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) CAO NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c) Summary of Housing Needs According to 'the 2010-2014 5-Year American Community Survey, Collier County is home to 334,474 residents living in 126,331 households, as shown in Table 5. Since the 2000 Census, the population grew by 33%, while the number of households expanded at a lower rate of 23%. The County's population growth rate well outpaced that of both the state of Florida (21%) and the U.S. (26%) during that time period. Median household income increased by 17% from $48,289 in 2000 to $56,250 in the 2010-2014 ACS. Compared to state and national figures of $47,212 and $53,482, respectively, Collier County has a higher median income.

As shown, 45,010 households in Collier County have low or moderate incomes (under 80%of HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI)), and together they comprise 37% of the County's households. Looking at income level by household type shows that over half of large family households are low or moderate income (57% or 4,430 households), as are over half of households with one or more children under 6 (55% or 7,215 households). Of households with someone age 75 or over, 41% (or 10,311 households) are low or moderate income. Small families have the lowest share with low and moderate incomes at 29% (21,100 households). 0-30% >30-50% >50-80% >80-100% >100% HAMFI HAMFI HAMFI HAMFI HAMFI Total Households * 12,000 12,785 20,225 12,120 63,805 Small Family Households * 4,655 5,755 10,690 7,090 45,555 Large Family Households * 1,130 1,560 1,740 805 2,565 Household contains at least one person 62-74 years of age 2,705 2,982 5,455 3,345 22,250 Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 26 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 0-30% >30-50% >50-80% >80-100% >100% HAMFI HAMFI HAMFI HAMFI HAMFI Household contains at least one person age 75 or older 2,656 3,135 4,520 2,385 12,675 Households with one or more children 6 years old or younger* 1,895 2,390 2,930 1,439 4,475 *the highest income category for these family types is>80% HAMFI Table 6-Total Households Table Data Source: 2008-2012 CHAS Tables 5,7,and 13 Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 27 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) '�'AO Housing Needs Summary Tables Housing needs by tenure and household income are provided in tables 7 through 12, with a discussion following. HUD defines four housing needs that are quantified in the proceeding tables: 1. Housing units lacking complete kitchen facilities; 2. Housing units lacking completed plumbing facilities; 3. Overcrowded households (households with more than one person per room); and 4. Cost burdened households (households spending more than 30%of their monthly income on monthly housing costs, including utilities). Additionally, HUD identifies the following four severe housing needs: 1. Housing units lacking complete kitchen facilities; 2. Housing units lacking complete plumbing facilities; 3. Severely overcrowded households (households with more than 1.5 persons per room); and 4.

Estimates of the number of single person households in need of housing assistance are not available for Collier County. In Tables 9 and 10 above, non-elderly single person households are included in the "other" households category, along with non-family households, such as roommates or non-married partner households. Table 9 shows that there are an estimated 3,570 "other" renter households and 2,295 "other" owner households with low or moderate incomes who spend more than 30% of their income on housing. Of these, 51% of renter households and 77% of owner households are also severely cost burdened, meaning that they spend over 50%of their income on housing. 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. According to the 2010-2014 5-Year American Community Survey, there are an estimated 37,892 disabled persons in Collier County, comprising about 11% of its population. While housing need is not estimated for the disabled population, the ACS does provide poverty rates by disability status, which can serve as an indicator of potential need, given that households with lower incomes are more likely to have a housing problem. For persons age 18 to 64, 25% of the disabled population (3,319 persons) is impoverished, compared to 13% of the non-disabled population. For seniors, the poverty rate of disabled persons is 9% (1,983 persons) compared to 6% for those without a disability. Thus, poverty rates suggest that disabled adults in Collier County would be more likely to have difficulty affording housing than their non-disabled counterparts. Additionally, a limited supply of accessible housing, the cost of making needed modifications, and the limited availability of supportive housing for persons with developmental or substance abuse disabilities represent housing needs for the County's disabled population. The County does not have data available to estimate the number of persons or households who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking who are in need of housing assistance. Input from housing and homeless services providers, however, indicates a continued need for housing for domestic violence victims in Collier County. As evidence of this need, in its last fiscal year, the Shelter for Abused Women and Children in Naples answered more than 2,400 Crisis Hotline calls, sheltered 481 adults and children, provided over 30,000 hours of counseling, and provided education regarding domestic abuse to more than 20,000 professionals and community members. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 32 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) What are the most common housing problems? As shown in Table 7, a total of 15,070 renter households and 22,085 owner households with incomes at or below the area median experience one or more housing problems. Comparing these numbers with the total households at that income level (as provided in Table 6) indicates that 65% have one or more housing needs. At low and moderate incomes (at or below 80% AMI), there are 31,940 households with needs, which represents 71% of total low and moderate income households. By far the most common housing problems in Collier County for both owners and renters are cost burdening and severe cost burdening. Table 9 reveals that 12,905 low and moderate income renter households spend more than 30% of their income on housing, as do 17,815 low and moderate income owner households. Taken together, there are 30,720 cost burdened households with incomes below 80% AMI, constituting 68% of that income group. Of these, 17,990 households have a severe cost burden (6,530 renters and 11,460 owners), comprising 40%of total low and moderate income households, as Table 10 displays. Crowding (more than one person per room) affects 1,840 renters and 1,125 owners with low and moderate incomes, or 7% of all households in that income group (Table 11), a considerably lower share than are affected by cost burdens or severe cost burdens. Substandard housing (lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities) affects the smallest number of low and moderate income households in Collier County: 315 renters and 270 owners, or 1%of all households with incomes under 80%AMI, according to Table 7. Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Overall, owners make up a larger share of the low and moderate income population with housing problems than renters (57% versus 43%), not surprising considering that the large majority of households in Collier County own their homes. Renters, however, are more likely than owners to be affected by housing needs — of low and moderate income groups, 78% of renter households have a housing problem, compared to 67%of owners. Looking at specific housing needs shows that the number of low and moderate income renters living in substandard housing (315) is 1.2 times the number of owners doing so (270). Likewise, at low and moderate incomes, the number of crowded renters (1,840) is 1.6 times the number of overcrowded owners (1,125). In contrast, for affordability problems, owners make up larger proportions of low and moderate income households with needs.The number of cost burdened owners (17,815) is 1.4 times that of renters (12,905), and the number of severely cost burdened owners (11,460) is 1.8 times that of renters (6,530). Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 33 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) CAO For owners, households in the 50-80% AMI income bracket make up the largest share of cost burdened households at 41%. Just under one third of (31%) are in the 30-50% AMI group, and 28% have incomes under 30% AMI. In contrast, cost burdened renters are relatively evenly distributed by income: 33% have incomes below 30% AMI, 30% have incomes from 30-50% AMI, and 36% have incomes from 50-80% AMI. Looking at severe cost burdens only, need is much more concentrated in the lowest income group. More than half (58%) of severely cost burdened renters have extremely low incomes, as do 37%of severely cost burdened owners. Looking at needs by household types, small families (2 to 4 persons) make up the largest share of low and moderate income renters with a cost burden at 43%, although they constitute only one-quarter (25%) of cost burdened owners. Comparing data in Table 9 with total households by type in Table 6 shows that 48% of low and moderate income small families are cost burdened. While they make up relatively small shares of the needs population, 67% of large families (5 or more persons) are cost burdened. For owners with a cost burden, the largest share are elderly households (53%), likely reflecting the difficulty many seniors face in continuing to pay housing costs such as utilities and taxes following retirement, even if they no longer have mortgages. Finally, overcrowded renter and owner households are more likely to be single family households than multiple, unrelated families. The former make up 84% of overcrowded low and moderate income renter households and 75% of similar owner households. Multiple, unrelated family households constitute 14% of overcrowded renters and 25% of overcrowded owners. However, given that the vast majority of Collier County households are single families, overcrowding is much more likely to affect unrelated families sharing a home (i.e., "doubling up"), particularly for owners. 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 Individuals with an imminent risk of residing in shelter or becoming unsheltered typically have a combination of financial factors present in their lives: lack of living wage jobs, rent that is more than 30 or 50 percent of their income, and high childcare, medical, or transportation costs. In addition to these factors, individuals living at risk of homelessness often have additional issues present such as family conflicts, domestic violence, doubling up with family members or friends, housing with code or safety violations, household members with a disability, criminal Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 34 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) C history, history of mental health issues or substance abuse, difficulty navigating systems to access public benefits or community based services, and prior experience with homelessness. For formerly homeless families and individuals receiving rapid re-housing assistance but nearing the termination of that assistance, key needs include access to Social Security disability and other benefits; stable employment or access to mainstream job training, employment, and education programs; linkages to health and mental health services; convenient access to affordable childcare and transportation; and continued case management and supportive services. 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: Collier County does not prepare estimates of its at-risk population. The Collier County Hunger and Homeless Coalition's 2014 Point-in-Time Count of homeless persons identified 251 persons at risk of homelessness. This included people staying temporarily with family or friends, in a hotel or motel, or sharing a home on a more or less permanent basis with another family, often living in crowded or inadequate conditions. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness Low incomes and high housing cost burdens are two housing characteristic linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness. Renters with incomes under 30% AMI and housing costs burdens over 50% are at risk of homelessness, especially if they experience a destabilizing event such as a job loss, reduction in hours, or medical emergency/condition. Additionally, families or individuals doubling up with other, unrelated households are at an increased risk of homelessness. In Collier County, there are 3,785 extremely low income renter households (under 30% AMI) spending more than 50% of their income on housing. Collier County also has 645 households comprised of multiple, unrelated families living together in overcrowded conditions.

Introduction According to HUD, a disproportionately greater need exists when members of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole. Tables 13 through 16 identify the number of households experiencing one or more of the four housing problems by householder race and ethnicity and income level. The four housing problems include: (1) cost burden (paying more than 30% of income for housing and utilities); (2) overcrowding (more than one person per room); (3) lacking complete kitchen facilities; and (4) lacking complete plumbing facilities. Income classifications include extremely low income (under 30% of Area Median Income (AMI)); low income (30-50% AMI); moderate income (50-80% AMI); and middle income (80- 100%AM I). 0%-30%of Area Median Income At extremely low incomes, 79% of households in Collier County have one or more housing problems (9,420, as shown in Table 13). Whites are somewhat less likely to experience a housing need (74%), while African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics are more so (85-87%).

Introduction This section examines severe housing needs by income level and householder race and ethnicity. Like in the preceding analysis, this section uses HUD's definition of disproportionately greater need, which occurs when members of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole. Tables 17 through 20 identify the number of households experiencing one or more of the severe housing problems include: (1) severe cost burden (paying more than 50% of income for housing and utilities); (2) severe overcrowding (more than 1.5 persons per room); (3) lacking complete kitchen facilities; and (4) lacking complete plumbing facilities. Income classification include extremely low income (under 30% of Area Median Income); low income (30-50%AMI); moderate income (50-80%AMI); and middle income (80-100%AMI). 0%-30%of Area Median Income At extremely low incomes, 72% of households in Collier County experience a severe housing problem (8,570 households).

Introduction: While the preceding sections assessed all housing and severe housing problems by race and ethnicity, Table 21 focuses only on what share of their income households spend on housing. Data is broken down into groups spending less than 30% of income on housing costs, those paying between 30 and 50% (i.e., with a cost burden), and those paying over 50% (i.e., with a severe cost burden). The final column, "no/negative income," identifies households without an income, from whom cost of housing as a share of income was not calculated. Note that no more than three percent of households in any racial or ethnic group has no or negative income.

African American and Latino households are more likely to spend within this range when compared to the jurisdiction overall (30% and 27%, respectively). No racial or ethnic group is disproportionately likely to fall within this category. Countywide, 19% of households spend over 50% of their income on housing costs. Rates of severe cost burdening by race and ethnicity range from 18% for Whites to 30% for African Americans, not including Pacific Islander households, of whom zero face severe cost burdens. African Americans are the only group to face a disproportionately high rate of severe cost burdening (30%versus 19%for the jurisdiction as a whole). Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 44 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) Combining the 30-50% and over 50% cost ranges shows that there are a total of 48,049 cost burdened households in Collier County, which constitutes 40%of the county's total households. By race and ethnicity, rates of cost burdening range from 32% for American Indians/Alaska Natives to 60% for African Americans. Two groups are disproportionately likely to be cost burdened: African Americans (60% or 2,950 households) and Hispanics (52% or 9,190 households). Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 45 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) C NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion —91.205(b)(2) 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? Tables 13 through 21 identify several instances of disproportionately greater need, which are summarized below: • Of the nine income and need categories examined, Asian households are disproportionately affected by housing needs in five of them. They are disproportionately likely to face a housing need at the 30-50% AMI and the 50-80% AMI income levels. They are disproportionately likely to face a severe housing need at the 0-30% AMI, 50-80%AMI, and 80-100%AMI income levels. • African American households face disproportionate rates of housing problems in three instances: housing cost burdens at the 30-50%AMI income level, severe cost burdens at the 50-80%AMI income level, and cost burdens/severe cost burdens regardless of income. • American Indian/Alaska Native households with incomes from 30 to 50% AMI and from 50 to 80% AMI are disproportionately likely to face a housing need; households in the former income category are also disproportionately likely to face a severe housing need. • Pacific Islander households have a disproportionate rate of housing needs and severe housing needs at middle incomes (80 to 100%AMI). • Looking at all households regardless of income, Latino households are disproportionately likely to spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs. Over one-half (52%) of Hispanic households pay over 30%, compared to 40%of all households jurisdiction-wide. If they have needs not identified above,what are those needs? Stakeholder input shows that, in addition to housing needs, low and moderate income households are also more likely to face difficulties affording transportation and childcare costs. For low incomes households without a car, transit access and hours may impact their ability to obtain and keep employment. Additionally, low and moderate income disabled persons may face difficultly affording paratransit service. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 46 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) CAO Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? According to the 2010 Census, Collier County's minority population (including African American, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native American/Alaska Native residents) is most heavily concentrated in five census tracts in the Immokalee area, where minority residents constitute over 90% of the population. The majority of the residents in these tracts are Latino, and the second largest share are African American. Six other tracts have minority population shares above 50%. They include four tracts in Golden Gate, one in Naples Manor, and one in Naples near the Gordon River Apartments. In the census tract that includes the Gordon River Apartments, the majority of residents are African American; in the remaining tracts, Latinos make up the largest share. The map on the following page identifies minority population by census tract for Collier County. It also shows racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (RCAP/ECAPs). HUD defines RCAP/ECAPs as areas with minority population shares above 50%and poverty rates over 40%.

These resident characteristics indicate a significant need for accessible housing units. When interviewed for input related to this plan, CCHA staff underscored this need, characterizing the existing housing stock in the County as having very few accessible units. Another need of people with disabilities who may be CCHA residents or on the waiting list is transportation. Enhanced paratransit and regular bus service would assist these residents in being better able to access services. Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders The most immediate needs of CCHA's clients are for more affordable housing options, transportation, and childcare. Despite the Housing Choice Vouchers and farmworker housing available through CCHA, there are approximately 1,000 applicants on the voucher waiting list and the list is closed. Rents in the private market are increasing and vouchers cannot keep pace, causing even those with vouchers to have difficulty finding affordable housing. Transportation, both paratransit and regular bus service is an additional need. Routes and hours are limited, making it difficult for voucher holders to access or maintain employment. There are a few programs in the area that provide assistance with the cost of childcare, which is necessary for parents of young children who need to work or look for work. These existing programs work well, but cannot meet the high level of need. How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The needs of public housing residents and housing choice voucher holders are largely consistent with the needs of the low- and moderate-income population at large. In the general population, tenants are concerned about the quality and affordability of their existing housing. Without the housing subsidies and other supports provided by CCHA, some of the affordability issues faced by the general population are even more acute. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 52 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment — 91.205(c) This section provides an assessment of Collier County's homeless population and their needs. Data is provided by the Hunger and Homeless Coalition's 2014 and 2015 Point in Time Counts (PITC) of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons in Collier County. 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): The Collier County Hunger and Homeless Coalition conducts an annual Point-in-Time Count of homeless persons in Collier County in January of each year. The most recent count for which data is available was conducted overnight from January 29 to January 30, 2015. Volunteers for the count included members of the civic and business community, homeless and formerly homeless individuals, and CoC member agency staff. Volunteers attended a training session the week prior to the count. The table that follows provides the results of the Hunger and Homeless Coalition's 2014 and 2015 Point-in-Time Counts. As shown, there were 389 homeless persons counted in 2015, up from 261 persons in 2014. The majority were in emergency shelters (211 persons or 54%) or transitional housing (134 persons or 34%). Forty-four people (11%) were unsheltered. In 2015, chronically homeless individuals made up 8% of the homeless count (32 individuals). Veterans constituted only 1% (5 persons), down from 6% (23 persons) in 2014. As of 2015, the largest share of homeless persons were either persons with chronic substance abuse issues (31%), adults with disabilities (26%), and/or victims of domestic violence (23%). These numbers echo stakeholder input, which indicated a need for housing with supportive services for both persons with disabilities and persons with substance abuse issues. Youth made up a significant share of Collier County's homeless population — 29% in 2015. The majority of homeless youth were in families (63 children or 16% of the total homeless population); the remaining 49 were either unaccompanied youth or members of youth- parented households. In addition to the Point-in-Time Counts, homeless youth are also counted by the public schools' liaison for homeless education, who reported serving 592 homeless students from the start of the school year through January 29, 2015. In addition to children who met HUD's definition of homeless, this count also includes children in families doubling-up with another household, unaccompanied youth staying with friends or family, and children awaiting foster care placement.

While the Point-in-Time Counts did not include the number of families with children in need of housing assistance, the 2015 count did record the number of children living in homeless families. Roughly one-in-six homeless people in Collier County were children living in families, indicating a significant need for housing assistance for homeless families and youth. Also, about one-quarter (23%) of Collier County's homeless population were victims of domestic violence, which may include families consisting of women and their children.

The Point-in-Time Counts for Collier County prepared by the Hunger and Homeless Coalition did not include data regarding the race and ethnicity of persons included in Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. As of the 2015 count, the large majority of Collier County's homeless population was sheltered (88%), with 11% unsheltered. Of the sheltered population, most (61%) were in an emergency shelter. This breakdown is roughly unchanged from 2014. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 55 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction: This section will discuss the characteristics and needs of persons in various subpopulations of Collier County who are not homeless but may require supportive services, including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental) persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, persons with alcohol or drug addiction, victims of domestic violence, and persons with a criminal record and their families. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: According to the 2014 ACS 5- year estimates, 74,235 (23.1%) Collier County residents were elderly (60+), and 46,430 (14.4%) residents were frail elderly (75+), with 37.5%, or over one- third of the County's population being elderly or frail elderly. There were 37,892 (11.4%) persons with disabilities in Collier County, 24.5 %, approximately a quarter, of which are elderly residents. HIV/AIDS diagnosis have been high for the state of Florida and minority populations have proves especially vulnerable, with Florida having the 3rd highest rate of Blacks diagnosed and the 4th highest rate for Latinos nationally. The AIDS Network reports that in 2007 there were 1,357 cases of HIV/AIDS in Collier County with 60% of those diagnosed being racial and ethnic minorities and 55% of the diagnosed residing in Naples and 45% residing in Immokalee. According to the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention in 2015, there were 860 HIV/AID cases in Collier County and a prevalence rate of 309. An annual survey sponsored by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) provides the primary source of information on the use of illicit drugs and alcohol among non-institutionalized persons aged 12 years old or older.' In 2011, an estimated 20.6 million persons in the U.S. were classified with substance dependence or abuse in the past year (8.0 percent of the population aged 12 or older). Of these, 2.6 million were classified with dependence or abuse of both alcohol and illicit drugs, 3.9 million had dependence or abuse of illicit drugs but not alcohol, and 14.1 million had dependence or abuse of alcohol but not illicit drugs. In 2011, the rate of substance dependence or abuse for persons aged 12 or older in the South was 7.0 percent. ` Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration,Results from the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health:Summary of National Findings,NSDUH Series H-44,HHS Publication No.(SMA) 12-4713.Rockville, MD: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration,2012. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 56 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) The 2013 Florida Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System indicates that Collier County adults have a higher rate of heavy or binge drinking (18.1%) compared to the state average (17.6%). Data from Collier County Medical Examiner's Office suggests that adult prescription drug misuse is an issue in the County. In 2013, the Collier County Medical Examiner's Office identified 42 overdose deaths, 40 (95%) of which had prescription or illegal drugs and/or alcohol in their system. Of the 40 substance-related deaths, over half (57%) were between the ages of 30-59, 97% were Caucasian, and 60 % were males. Additionally, 90% of cases involved prescription drugs, while 22%involved a combination of both prescription drugs and alcohol. According to the Collier County Sheriff's Office in 2006, there were 1,822 reported cases of domestic violence in the County. Persons with a criminal background and their families also have been identified as a special needs subpopulation in Collier County in terms of requiring assistive services for housing, employment, and other social services. Arrest record data from the County and Drug Free Collier indicates more than 1,340 arrests for drug related offenses in the past two years. What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? The primary housing and supportive needs of these subpopulations (the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, persons with alcohol or drug addiction, victims of domestic violence, and persons with a criminal record and their families) were determined by input from both service providers and the public through the survey, public meetings, and stakeholder interviews. These needs include affordable, safe housing opportunities in areas with access to transportation and paratransit, commercial and job centers, and social services including counseling, case management, and subsidies for childcare, and for education regarding fair housing rights and actions that can be taken in the event those rights are violated. Persons with disabilities often require accessible features and ground floor housing units and use of supportive/therapeutic animals. Victims of domestic violence need safe housing, removal of barriers to relocation, and protection from perpetrators. Persons with criminal records and their families may be disqualified from public housing or Section 8 rental assistance, and accordingly, assistance with housing for low-income members of this subpopulation must be provided by other nongovernmental organizations. Interviews with stakeholders and residents indicated that residents with alcohol and substance abuse histories, as well as, victims of domestic violence may have criminal records. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 57 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs —91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities: The top needs for public facilities in Collier County are community centers, health care facilities, and public: safety stations/offices. In the course of the engagement with residents and stakeholders relative to this plan, many described a need for more opportunities for social interaction for seniors and activities for youth and children. Presumably, community centers and similar facilities would be necessary in order to provide these types of services. The lack of affordable, accessible healthcare services was also frequently mentioned. Many physicians, doctors, and other health providers serving the county are said to offer concierge-based services in which patients pay premium fees in order to receive a higher level of service and access to their providers. These concierge-based practices do not typically accept Medicare or Medicaid patients. As a result, many low- and moderate-income residents expressed a need for healthcare facilities providing services at lower cost. Public safety facilities, such as fire, police or emergency management facilities were also described by residents as significant public facility needs. How were these needs determined? In the public survey conducted as part of this plan development process, respondents were asked to rank public facility needs in the County as high, moderate, or low need. The top three needs ranked as high need were community centers (ranked high by 57.3% of respondents), health care facilities (48.2%), and public safety officers (46.3%). Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: Demolition or redevelopment of blighted properties was seen by Collier County residents as an important need. Additionally, the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has undertaken several subarea studies of bicycle and pedestrian mobility in communities throughout the County. Though only a few individual communities have been studied to date, the MPO reports have indicated significant needs for sidewalks, bike lanes, and pedestrian safety improvements. For example, in Naples Manor, the MPO report graded the community with an overall level of service of D. Of 31 streets in the community, only one had sidewalks on both sides of the road. The proximity of Lely High School and Parkside Elementary School to the area heighten the need for public improvements. Improved street lighting and the addition of street furniture, such as benches and signs, was often a frequent recommendation as well. Similar findings were contained in a separate MPO report on the Immokalee area. How were these needs determined? Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 58 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) Over 35% of respondents to the public survey rated demolition or redevelopment of blighted properties as a high need. Another 42% of respondents rated this a moderate need. Needs for sidewalk, street lighting, and street furniture were determined based on a review of prior studies conducted by the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization. County staff in the Growth Management Department confirmed these as needs. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services: One-half or more of survey respondents identified the following public services as high needs: medical and dental services, senior services, youth services, housing counseling, and employment training. In addition to these, a need for a great variety of other public services has been articulated by residents and stakeholders throughout the county who participated in interviews, public meetings, or focus groups with the planning team. These include the following: • Legal assistance • Substance abuse counseling • Fair housing education & • Financial literacy enforcement • English language classes (ESL) • Supportive services for housing • Childcare subsidies stability • Child abuse prevention • Memory care for people with • Domestic violence prevention dementia • Food banks and community meals • Transportation assistance • Accessible transportation for people with disabilities How were these needs determined? These public service needs were determined through analysis of public survey responses, through numerous consultations with key community stakeholders, and public comments at meetings and focus groups.

Stakeholders and residents reported housing affordability for low-income and moderate-income to be an issue throughout the County with areas of East Naples being in need of increased affordability housing opportunities. According to 2010-2014 ACS estimates housing costs have increased for both owners and renters in the past twelve years.

Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. Collier County does not anticipate losing any affordable housing units from the public housing inventory during this Consolidated Plan period. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 61 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) CAO S Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? While the County has a large housing supply of nearly 200,000 units, there is a significant disconnect between the supply of the housing units and the location, price, and quality of the housing units. Many of the housing units in Immokalee, and the mobile home units are reported by residents to be of poor or substandard quality. Describe the need for specific types of housing The County has a specific need for housing units suitable to larger families. Large related households, which are defined as households consisting of 5 or more persons, have a greater percentage of housing need than any other household type. In order to achieve affordability extended families may reside together. The high price and limited supply of larger housing units force many families to either live in overcrowded, smaller units or overpriced, larger homes. Additionally, senior and disabled housing is needed in Collier County as the aging of the population creates an increasing need for housing that is accessible for occupants as well as visitors.

Housing affordability is reported as a key issue in Collier County. Many residents in the workforce including teachers, police officers, nurses, social workers, etc. reported living in nearby counties due to lack of affordable housing. Low-income and moderate-income residents reported doubling up. Over 40% of respondents to the Collier County Community Survey reported exceeding the HUD guideline of 30%on housing costs. How is the affordability of housing expected to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? Many variables influence the demand for affordable housing units such as emerging demographic trends, the incidence of overcrowding, and housing costs. The population growth in Collier County, coupled with an aging population that is likely to be on a fixed- income, also translates into strong demand for new affordable housing units, is expected to increase. Rent Comparison The Out of Reach (further cited in the Analysis to Impediments to Fair Housing) report indicates a minimum wage worker must exceed a 40 hour work week to afford the current FMR for a one, two, or three-bedroom apartment.

Much of the housing stock in Collier County has aged, as evidenced by 19% of owner-occupied housing units and 24% of rental housing units built between 1950 and 1979. As housing ages, maintenance costs increase and can present significant costs for low- and moderate- income homeowners. In addition, older units often need rehabilitation to bring housing up to current code, reduce lead-based paint hazards, and meet current ADA requirements. Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards Exposure to lead-based paint represents one of the most significant environmental threats from a housing perspective. Housing conditions can significantly affect public health, and exposure to lead may cause a range of health problems for adults and children. The major source of lead exposure comes from lead-contaminated dust found in deteriorating buildings, including residential properties built before 1978 that contain lead-based paint. Unfortunately, measuring the exact number of housing units with lead-based paint hazards is difficult. However, risk factors for exposure to lead include housing old enough to have been initially painted with lead-based paint (i.e., pre-1978), households that include young children, and households in poverty.

However, because the public housing units in Collier County are funded by USDA and not HUD, they are neither inspected by the Real Estate Assessment Center nor are they covered by a Public Housing Agency Plan. This makes it difficult to objectively assess the physical condition of the public housing units in the County. Because Housing Choice Vouchers are tenant-based, the properties at which the vouchers are used vary significantly in physical condition. Public Housing Condition Public Housing Development Average Inspection Score n/a n/a Table 39-Public Housing Condition Describe the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing units in the jurisdiction: The CCHA has received a $9.25 million grant from USDA to fund renovation of 315 of its farmworker housing units. The 18-month renovation program is expected to be completed in 2017. In addition, CCHA adheres to a routine maintenance program for its farmworker and other physical housing units and conducts regular maintenance as needed. Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in public housing: The housing authority collaborates with partners to ensure services are offered to its residents that improve their living environment. For example, the Florida Housing Coalition administers the SHIP (State Housing Initiatives Partnership) Program which provides homeownership opportunities for income-qualified beneficiaries. CCHA also has a history of partnering with Goodwill Industries and Collier County Adult Education Services. These partnerships have resulted in several public housing residents graduating from the family self-sufficiency program and no longer relying upon public housing assistance. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 71 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) Additionally, the CCHA will employ the following strategies to address the housing needs of Collier County families: • Assist as many extremely low-income, very low-income, and low-income individuals and households as possible with the federal resources that have been awarded to CCHA. • Increase the number of affordable housing units by applying for additional Section 8 vouchers should they become available. • Leveraging affordable housing resources in the community through the creation of mixed-financed housing. • Pursuing housing resources other than Section 8 tenant-based assistance. • Target available assistance to families at or below 30% of AMI, homeless, and the elderly by continuing to do outreach to community partners that serve the low-income, homeless, and the elderly. • Maintain or increase Section 8 lease-up rates by marketing the program to owners, particularly those outside of areas of minority and poverty concentration. • Participate in the Consolidated Plan development process to ensure coordination with broader community strategies.

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. Three organizations in Collier County are dedicated to providing shelter and services for homeless persons. Youth Haven is a 24-hour residential shelter for children removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. In addition to a 23-bed emergency shelter, Youth Haven offers a child and family counseling center, in-home parenting classes, case management, and a teen drop-in center with showers, laundry facilities, and meals. Typical length of stays range from 45 to 60 days until children are placed in foster care or with a relative. The Shelter for Abused Women and Children in Naples is the only domestic violence center in Naples. It includes emergency shelter (where stays average 29 days) and a transitional housing program (where residents can live for up to 2 years). Other services include a confidential hotline, safety planning, counseling and support groups in English and Spanish, court advocacy and assistance with daily needs such as food, clothing,toiletries, and household items. St. Matthew's House operates several facilities in Collier County, including emergency and transitional housing in Naples, an emergency shelter in Immokalee (Immokalee Friendship House), and transitional supportive apartments for persons with substance abuse or mental health needs. Other services include a food pantry, thrift store, counseling and case management, and access to referrals for medical, mental health, and substance abuse needs through partnerships with other organizations in Collier County. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 74 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services—91.210(d) Introduction This section describes the housing and social service needs of Collier County's special populations including the elderly, frail elderly, domestic violence victims, residents with diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, and residents with substance abuse, mental health, or disability diagnosis. 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 primary housing and supportive service needs of Collier County's special needs subpopulations (the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, persons with alcohol or drug addiction, victims of domestic violence, and persons with a criminal record and their families) include affordable, safe housing opportunities in areas with access to transportation, commercial and job centers, and social and supportive services. These services may include counseling, case management, ADL support, and education regarding fair housing rights and actions that can be taken in the event those rights are violated. Persons with disabilities often require accessible features and ground floor housing units and support animals. Available housing for this subpopulation is limited within Collier County, thus limiting housing choice. Victims of domestic violence need safe housing, removal of barriers to relocation, and protection from perpetrators. Persons with criminal records and their families, including residents with alcohol/substance abuse issues and victims of domestic violence, may be disqualified from public housing or Section 8 rental assistance, and accordingly, assistance with housing for low-income members of this subpopulation must be provided by other nongovernmental organizations. Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing Information gathered through focus groups and stakeholder interviews indicates that supportive housing is one of the greatest needs for people with mental health and substance abuse disorders after being discharged from inpatient treatment. Housing referrals are often made to the David Lawrence Center a nonprofit that owns and operates treatment programs and supportive housing for people with mental health and substance abuse disorders. Community members reported a need for community-living, group home type housing for those transitioning from inpatient care to more independent living situations.

Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e) Collier County will make it a priority to increase the supply of affordable housing with supportive services by: giving priority funding to new projects that are in close proximity to grocery stores, public transportation, and job centers; considering the viability of programs that provide rental subsidies to low income households to make existing units affordable; providing down payment assistance to eligible low and moderate-income homebuyers; and supporting community efforts to develop a housing trust fund. Collier County also will focus on increasing the supply of accessible units for persons with disabilities. Many of the supportive services for the special needs subpopulations are available through existing nongovernmental organizations. However, there is a strong need for greater collaboration and education in order to link persons with special needs to the network of services available more efficiently and comprehensively. Collier County will strengthen collaboration among the network of service providers by: facilitating the development of a social service collaborations across the region to coordinate the work of social service organizations, disseminate news and information, and spearhead community-wide solutions to local needs. For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e)with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. (91.220(2)) Collier County will make it a priority to increase the supply of affordable rental housing by: giving priority funding to new projects that are in close proximity to grocery stores, public transportation, and job centers; the County also will focus on increasing the supply of accessible units for persons with disabilities. The County will work to strengthen collaboration among the network of service providers by: facilitating the development of a regional social service collaborative to coordinate the work of social service organizations, disseminate news and information, and spearhead community-wide solutions to local needs. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 76 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing—91.210(e) Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment The Collier County Land Development Code, as amended through December 11, 2014, and the Naples Land Development Code, as amended through October 6, 2015, were each reviewed and evaluated against a list of 15 common fair housing issues. In most cases, the zoning regulations are reasonably permissive and allow for flexibility as to the most common fair housing issues. Remarkably, neither jurisdiction received a high risk score on any of the 15 issues evaluated. However, the County and Naples received medium risk scores on certain issues where the zoning regulations still have the potential to negatively impact fair and affordable housing, and where improvements to the rules and policies could be made to more fully protect the fair housing rights of the County's residents. On paper, the residential zoning criteria for the jurisdictions surveyed are not inherently prohibitive, and yet there is general consensus among residents, planning officials, housing advocates, and other stakeholders that Collier County and Naples suffer from an affordability gap for both affordable and workforce housing. This problem will only grow as rent and home prices are expected to continue to trend upward. Based on 2015 projections provided by the University of Florida's Shimberg Center for Housing Studies, the County's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee estimates that 43% of Collier households pay more than 30% of their income (the limit considered financially healthy) on housing related expenses, and 22% of households spend more than half of their income on housing. There are some development costs that local governments simply cannot control, such as materials and labor costs. However, there are other costs which government regulations directly impact: for example, raw land costs (via minimum lot size requirements), permitting costs, and impact fees. By reducing these costs, the hope is that there would be a trickle-down effect which would in turn make development of affordable housing more feasible. In the context of the area's already costly rental and housing market, development standards may be a barrier to obtaining workforce and affordable housing for low to moderate income families, and should be evaluated and tailored to the area's estimation of affordability, that is the extent to which enough housing units of different costs can be developed to provide each household with a unit it can afford (based on HUD's 30%-of-income standard).

Collier County's largest employment sectors are educational services, and health care and social assistance (22.0%), arts, entertainment, accommodations and food (19%), and transportation, warehouse, and utilities (13%). Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: With more than one-fifth of the County's workforce employed in the education, health care, and social services sector, the local economy will depend on a strong pool of labor skilled in these particular industries. Based on the lower income levels associated with non-completion of a high-school diploma, the County should continue job training and employment services and seek to increase community college attendance among residents in poorer areas including Immokalee, Bayshore residents, and residents residing in the RCAP/ECAP 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. The County has a strong business climate with many successful CEOs, low property tax rates, wealthier citizens with high median incomes, and the state of Florida has high ranking for a strong business environment. Residents will need skills in business development and management and job training and skills in various service industries including: health care, education, arts, entertainment, tourism, and food services. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? Educational attainment is strong for the County, with high schools with strong ratings and community colleges with varying job training programs. 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 Career Source Southwest Florida provides individuals with career development resources in order to produce a skilled workforce for businesses.

Responsible Entity Responsible Entity Role Geographic Area Served Type Collier County Government CDBG, HOME, and ESG Collier County program administration Table 50-Institutional Delivery Structure Assessment of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The County has been a participating jurisdiction for well over 10 years, and has the systems and structure in place to effectively carry out its Consolidated Plan. The institutional delivery system offers multiple services to County low- and moderate-income residents, special needs populations, and the homeless. In addition to working with the local CoC to meet homeless needs, the County has partnerships within its delivery system to meet affordable housing needs for low- and moderate-income families. In 2015, Collier County's CHS division successfully applied to the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB) for Rural Capacity Building technical assistance. A study funded through NALCAB identified opportunities for improving Immokalee's affordable housing delivery system and capacity. Specific recommendations coming out of this study are discussed in SP-55, Barriers to Affordable Housing. There are no identified systemic weaknesses in the delivery system at this time and the County will continue collaborative efforts with local non-profits and social service organizations.

During the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, Collier County consulted with public and private agencies that provide services to homeless persons in all subcategories to include chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. Many of the services proposed in the strategic plan will be conducted by subrecipients, contractors, and other non-profits under the direction of Collier County, including Legal Aid, the David Lawrence Center, and the Shelter for Abused Women and Children. Collier County is also part of and coordinates with the local CoC, whose members provide varying services to homeless individuals/families and persons at risk of experiencing homelessness, including: transitional and rapid rehousing; services for basic needs such as food, clothing, and utility assistance; and case management and counseling services. 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 County has been successful at partnering with several agencies serving persons with special needs via entitlement funding, and also has provided services and programs to persons with special needs via the SHIP program, which aids in the production and preservation of affordable homeownership and multifamily housing for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. Although the County has been successful at working with many of the non-profit organizations in the community, gaps in service delivery include supportive services for homeless individuals, persons with special needs, and supportive housing and transitional housing for residents with substance and alcohol abuse issues. 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 service delivery system is in working order to carry out a strategy to address priority needs. The biggest gap is sufficient funding to meet the needs identified. Collier County typically receives requests for four to five times the funding available on an annual basis. Consequently, funding is allocated to as many high priority needs and projects as is practicable. In addition, the County operates as the lead agency for the Area Agency on Aging, which provides case Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 97 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) management and other services for seniors and oversees a daily nutritional program for seniors in the community. Also, the County seeks and has been successful in receiving many other awards to address priority needs. These grants include a SHIP award to assist with homeowner and rental opportunities and a state of Florida Criminal Justice, Mental Health and Substance Abuse grant through which the County partners with the Sheriff's office and a local mental health facility to improve outcomes for persons in the criminal justice system who have mental health issues. The development of social service collaborations across the region to coordinate the work of social service organizations, disseminate news and information, and spearhead community-wide solutions to local needs is necessary to assist the community in overcoming gaps in services for the homeless and residents with substance abuse issues.

Instead, the CCHA manages farmworker housing funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Housing Choice Vouchers, and some senior housing units in Immokalee. According to HUD PIC data, of CCHA's 440 Housing Choice Voucher holders, 105 (24%) were disabled and 161 (37%) were over the age of 62. These resident characteristics indicate a significant need for accessible housing units. When interviewed for input related to this plan, CCHA staff underscored this need, characterizing the existing housing stock in the County as having very few accessible units. Activities to Increase Resident Involvements The CCHA receives advice and input from its Section 8 Advisory Board, which includes voucher holders. The Board reviews CCHA's PHA plans and the agency's progress toward its goals. The Board recommended the following needs to CCHA regarding its 2014-2019 PHA Plan: • More Housing Choice Vouchers • Resources for Educational Opportunities • Resources to Help Promote Self-Employment • Opportunities for Homeownership • Family Self Sufficiency Program Is the public housing agency designated as troubled under 24 CFR part 902? The Collier County Housing Authority is not designated as troubled. Plan to remove the 'troubled' designation Not applicable. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 102 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing—91.215(h) Barriers to Affordable Housing The residential zoning provisions for Collier County and Naples are not inherently prohibitive, and yet there is general consensus among residents, planning officials, housing advocates, and other stakeholders that Collier County and Naples suffer from an affordability gap for both affordable and workforce housing. This problem will only grow as rent and home prices are expected to continue to trend upward. Based on 2015 projections provided by the University of Florida's Shimberg Center for Housing Studies, the County's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee estimates that 43% of Collier households pay more than 30% of their income (the limit considered financially healthy) on housing related expenses, and 22%of households spend more than half of their income on housing. The upward pressure on housing prices and rental rates is typical of resort communities, although these pressures tend to exclude low- and moderate-income service workers who are essential to the tourist and resort industries. Barriers include the availability and price of land for development of affordable housing. Also, at the time of the development of this plan, there is negligible vacancy in rental units and those being constructed are market rate units. In 2015-2016, the Florida Housing Coalition prepared an affordable housing study for Immokalee for the Community and Human Services Division. Building Capacity for Affordable Housing in Immokalee identifies several barriers to housing affordability in the community, including: • Lack of rental developments with deep subsidies that result in rents affordable to households with incomes under 30%AMI; • Need for housing rehabilitation to improve energy efficiency, accessibility, exterior maintenance, and interior health and safety; and • Lack of housing developers serving several demographics, including special needs households, renters and homebuyers with incomes between 60% and 140% AMI, and renters with incomes under 30%AMI. The report also describes several ways to strengthen land use policies and regulations relative to affordable housing, including: • Waiving or substantially reducing (rather than deferring) impact fees for affordable housing development for low- and moderate-income households; • Allowing and encouraging the use of Accessory Dwelling Units; • Prioritizing capital improvements in Immokalee; • Providing guidance on suitable types of farmworker housing by zoning district; Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 103 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • Improving code compliance efforts at mobile home parks in Immokalee; • Revising the County's Local Housing Assistance Plan to require 30- or 50-year affordability periods, rather than the current 15-year requirement; and • Reviewing the use of Affordable Housing Density Bonus provisions, including determining how many units have been created under the provision and whether enforcement actions were taken against developers that neglected to provide the agreed upon units. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing To counter the natural market forces that make housing expensive in the Collier County area, programs that subsidize housing costs for low- and moderate-income residents are needed. These programs may provide tenant-based subsidies to renters (i.e. tenant-based rental assistance; TBRA) to help them afford the cost of existing market rate units. Subsidies to developers to reduce property acquisition and/or construction costs or assistance to homebuyers with down payment or closing costs could all reduce the impact of the region's high housing costs and make housing more affordable. An additional strategy would be housing repair or rehabilitation and community improvements in low-opportunity areas where existing housing stock is already relatively affordable to bring housing into standard condition and enhance the quality and availability of neighboring amenities. The County is embarking on a planning initiative to develop additional incentives and programs to address affordable and workforce housing needs in the community. In March 2016, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to prepare a community-driven countywide Affordable Housing Plan. The County is currently working to establish a stakeholder committee and charter for the project and will then identify a planning consultant through an RFP process. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 104 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) SP-60 Homelessness Strategy— 91.215(d) Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Collier County addresses emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons through collaboration with local shelters, including the Shelter for Abused Women and Children and Youth Haven, a youth shelter. In the past, the County has used CDBG funds for activities related to facility improvements at both shelters. The County has also provided funds for utilities, operation, and partial salaries for a Security Coordinator at the Shelter for Abused Women and Children. St. Matthew's House also provides shelters and transitional housing at locations in Naples and Immokalee. Over the next program year, Collier County will provide approximately$110,000 in ESG funds to the Shelter for Abused Women and Children for shelter operations, along with $124,000 in CDBG funds for security improvements. 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. Youth Haven and the Shelter for Abused Women and Children both include supportive services that encourage independent living and self-sufficiency. Examples of their programs include empowerment-based counseling services, financial asset building, a thrift shop, literacy classes, transitional supportive housing, family support services, and family counseling. The County also operates a rapid re-housing program (coupled with homelessness prevention), which is designed to shorten the period of time that families experience homelessness. For the first program year covered in this Consolidated Plan, the County will allocate approximately $20,000 to rapid re-housing/homelessness prevention. This program funds up to twelve months of short term rental assistance (including up to 6 months of rental arrearage), rental security deposits and last month's rent, and/or costs such as rental application fees and utilities. 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 Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 105 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) C Collier County's rapid re-housing and homelessness prevention program provides up to twelve months of short term rental assistance (including up to 6 months of rental arrearage), rental security deposits and last month's rent, and/or costs such as rental application fees and utilities for families at-risk of homelessness. Approximately $20,000 in ESG funds will be allocated to the rapid re-housing/homelessness prevention program in 2016-2017. Additionally, Collier currently is serving 6 individuals in the Shelter Plus Care grant program. Additionally, through the State of Florida Department of Children and Families, Collier County receives a grant for its Forensic Intensive Reintegration Support Team (FIRST), which provides persons with substance abuse or mental health issues leaving the judicial system with assistance to prevent homelessness or re-incarceration.

The County's health department will continue lead screenings and also properties proposed for rehabilitation will be screened for lead-based paint and property owners are provided with educational information. The County also follows federal requirements related to lead based paint. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Lead poisoning is the leading environmental hazard to children, creating devastating and irreversible health problems. The leading cause of lead-based poisoning is exposure to dust from deteriorating paint in homes constructed before 1978. This is due to the high lead content used in paint during that period, and particularly in homes built before 1950. Pre-1978 housing occupied by lower income households with children offers particularly high risks of lead exposure due to the generally lower levels of home maintenance among lower income households. This is an important factor since it is not the lead paint itself that causes the hazards, but rather the deterioration of the paint that releases lead-contaminated dust and allows children to peel and eat lead-contaminated flakes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Report on the National Survey of Lead-Based Paint in Housing released in 1995 found that 83% of the nation's privately owned housing units built before 1980 had lead-based paint somewhere in the building.' The survey found "no statistically significant differences in the prevalence of lead-based paint by type of housing, market value of the home, amount of rent payment, household income, or geographic region." Applying this percentage to the housing stock in Collier County, 22,212 units in the area are likely to contain lead-based paint. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? Collier County policies and procedures call for full compliance with the lead-based paint regulations at 24 CFR Part 35. Contractors, subrecipients, and other community partners are advised of the lead-based paint regulations and the County works with them to ensure 2 Report on the National Survey of Lead-Based Paint in Housing: Base Report.U.S. EPA/HUD,June 1995. http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/r95-003.pdf.

This Division has partnered with several local economic development agencies, including the Small Business Development Center, which helps with small business start-ups, Career Source of Southwest Florida to help with job training and employment services, and Naples Chamber of Commerce. The local community college provides additional classes and training related to small business development and implementation and job training programs. Life skills, employment, and job training activities are offered in areas with high concentrations of low-income residents including Immokalee, and there are two targeted CRAs in the Bayshore-Gateway Triangle Area and Immokalee.

Specific performance objectives will be outlined within each subrecipient agreement, giving measurable objectives for the eligible activity to be carried out. Each project is monitored on an ongoing basis and all preconstruction conferences are attended by division staff. Prior to any contracting, CHS staff reviews program requirements with prospective subrecipients, including emphasis on conflict of interest and special requirements for each subrecipient's specific agreement. This process ensures subrecipients are fully aware of program requirements. Documentation submitted with reimbursement requests is reviewed for compliance with applicable regulations and measurable objectives prior to issuing funds. On-site monitoring of selected subrecipients is scheduled by the County and conducted by the CHS Grant Monitoring Team using an enhanced monitoring checklist. The Monitoring Team is typically composed of the Compliance Supervisor, the Project Grant Coordinator, the Monitoring Operations Analyst, and a Senior Accountant. This team is charged with providing a progress monitoring visit and evaluation and a second visit at final project closeout (the timing of which are subject to change based on current divisional policies). The specific number of monitoring visits each funded entity receives is based on a risk evaluation, but every project will have a closeout monitoring. Projects still under construction for more than a year are also monitored until the project is complete. Projects are reviewed to ensure all aspects of the activity are carried out in accordance with applicable regulations. After a monitoring visit, CHS sends a follow-up letter to the subrecipient stating the outcome of the monitoring. Where required by the monitoring outcome, Corrective Action Plans are developed and the subrecipient's compliance with the Corrective Action Plan is reviewed until the plan is satisfied. After the Corrective Action Plan is satisfied and all monitoring findings are cleared, CHS closes out the monitoring with a letter to the subrecipient identifying future compliance requirements and reporting responsibilities. In addition to the above, any subrecipient determined to be in need of and/or requesting additional training on how to meet grantee and federal requirements receives technical assistance (TA) in the form deemed most appropriate to the circumstances. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 110 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) C The County has developed written policies and procedures that are in place for all federal grant programs. CHS continues to monitor and assist subrecipients to become aware of and knowledgeable about all grant requirements. Additionally, CHS provides TA to achieve compliance with all federal requirements, and holds a quarterly partnership meeting with each subrecipient to ensure successful project completion.

Monies dedicated to infrastructure improvements capitalize on ongoing revitalization efforts by the Bayshore and Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs). Facility improvements for nonprofit organizations enhance their ability to provide services to their clients or residents. Public service funds are granted to agencies with additional public and/or private funding streams that provide a variety of services in addition to those supported by CDBG funds. For example, CDBG funding for the United Cerebral Palsy's Ride for Life Transportation Program expands access to UCP's existing Adult Day Education and Training Center for low- and moderate- income residents with developmental disabilities. Collier County will provide HOME funds to three organizations in the 2016-2017 program year, and each recipient is anticipated to make a 25% match. Big Cypress Housing Corporation will receive funding for site improvements to Hatchers Preserve, a single-family rental project for households at 80%AMI or below.The match requirement will be satisfied by a grant from Rural Neighborhoods (a nonprofit housing agency in Immokalee), donated landscape material, and in- kind labor and equipment. Economic Growth Corporation will provide the match for funds received to conduct homebuyer education and acquisition assistance through in-kind contributions of overhead and salaries associated with implementing and administering the program. Finally, Collier Affordable Rentals will provide the match for funding to construct affordable rental units at Arrowhead Reserve through equity contributions and a real estate secured loan. If a HOME fund subrecipient is unable to make the anticipated match, the County will use State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program funds or other allowable expenditures to make the HUD-required match. For ESG, the recipient of shelter operations funds provides match via staff time and other eligible activities. The rental assistance program presently operated by the County uses County general fund dollars as match. If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The County does not anticipate using any publicly owned land or property located to address needs identified in this plan.

Please note that funding levels and goal outcome indicators are estimates for planning purposes. Payments to subrecipients for individual projects and/or activities are not contingent on meeting annual outcome indicators shown below. Subrecipient award amounts may not match those in the applications submitted to the County, as not all projects were funded at requested levels. Recommended activities are eventually finalized in a legal agreement approved by the Board of County Commissioners. The agreement is considered to contain the final activity description including funding levels, scope elements, deliverables and beneficiaries and supersedes any prior information such as the application or this action plan.

Marco Island, an incorporated city within the County, opted out of participation in 2012. Over the next program year, the County anticipates spending 34% of its CDBG funds in Immokalee and 40% in Naples. Immokalee activities include youth programs at the Boys and Girls Club, infrastructure improvements in the CRA and at Faith Landing, facility improvements to the David Lawrence Center, and housing rehabilitation at Timber Ridge at Sanders Pines. Activities in Naples include sidewalk improvements, stormwater and fire suppression system improvements in the Bayshore CRA, and facility renovations at Catholic Charities' Judy Sullivan Family Resource Center. The remaining funds will be allocated to projects with the potential to serve residents throughout the County. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Immokalee 34% Naples 40% Table 55-Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The following two maps depict the low- and moderate-income block groups within Collier County.

The greatest need is among renters with very low incomes, large families, immigrant families, and residents with disabilities. To address these needs, the County will use HOME, ESG, and CDBG funds to support the development of new affordable units and the rehabilitation of existing units. In several instances, the County will use grant funds for public infrastructure improvements or other site improvements that will support development or rehabilitation of affordable units. The County will also continue to offer its rapid re-housing and homelessness prevention for homeless families or those at risk of homelessness. Goals for the number of households to be supported in 2016-2017 are provided below. Please note these are goal estimates. Payments to subrecipients for individual projects and/or activities are not contingent on meeting annual outcome indicators shown below.

Additionally, 10 non-homeless households are anticipated to be supported with first time homebuyer assistance. The County will also provide funding for the Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 130 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) Shelter for Abused Women and Children, which is estimated to assist 600 homeless persons in 2016-2017. Although the County will not provide funding for housing for special needs households, CDBG- funded security improvements at the Shelter for Abused Women and Children will improve home safety for domestic violence victims. Also, facility improvements at the David Lawrence Center will allow it to better assist persons with mental health issues. The County will also provide funding for infrastructure improvements associated with the development of 46 affordable owner-occupied units at Faith Landing and site improvements for 18 single-family rental units at Hatchers Preserve, although no CDBG or HOME funds will be used for housing construction at either property.

AP-60 Public Housing— 91.220(h) Introduction The Collier County Housing Authority (CCHA) is an independent authority established under state law and is separate from the general control of the County. The mission of the CCHA is to offer a choice of decent safe and diverse affordable housing, with opportunity for low- income households to achieve economic independence in living environments free from discrimination. The Authority fulfills this mission by offering a variety of subsidized housing options to low- income residents of Collier County. These options include 641 units of farmworker housing funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the administration of 466 Housing Choice Vouchers, and management of 30 units of senior housing in Immokalee. Unlike most public housing authorities, the CCHA has no HUD-funded public housing units. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs of public housing The CCHA has received a $9.25 million grant from USDA to fund renovation of 315 of its farmworker housing units. The 18-month renovation program is expected to be completed in 2017. In addition, CCHA adheres to a routine maintenance program for its farmworker and other physical housing units and conducts regular maintenance as needed. Additionally, the CCHA will employ the following strategies to address the housing needs of Collier County families: • Assist as many extremely low-income, very low-income, and low-income individuals and households as possible with the federal resources that have been awarded to CCHA. • Increase the number of affordable housing units by applying for additional Section 8 vouchers should they become available. • Leveraging affordable housing resources in the community through the creation of mixed-financed housing. • Pursuing housing resources other than Section 8 tenant-based assistance. • Target available assistance to families at or below 30% of AMI, homeless, and the elderly by continuing to do outreach to community partners that serve the low-income, homeless, and the elderly. • Maintain or increase Section 8 lease-up rates by marketing the program to owners, particularly those outside of areas of minority and poverty concentration. • Participate in the Consolidated Plan development process to ensure coordination with broader community strategies. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 132 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership Interested voucher holders are encouraged to join the CCHA's Section 8 Advisory Board, which gives them a formal opportunity to offer input on the voucher program to CCHA. The Board reviews CCHA's PHA plans and the agency's progress toward its goals. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance The Collier County Housing Authority is not designated as troubled. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 133 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) CAO; AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities —91.220(i) Introduction The County will use ESG funding to support shelter operations, serving 600 battered women and children, to fund licensing for the HMIS system, and to serve approximately 3 families with rental assistance. 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 Collier County will conduct outreach to homeless persons through its rental assistance program which offers rapid rehousing, through homeless shelter providers such as the Shelter for Abused Women and Children and Youth Haven, and through other partners providing public services for homeless persons or persons at risk of homelessness. The County anticipates that it will serve 3 homeless or at risk households through its rental assistance program and 600 homeless women and children through the Shelter. The County will also allocate $40,000 (with any residual being applied to the rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention rental assistance program) to the Hunger and Homeless Coalition for HMIS activities, which will ultimately help the CoC better assess the needs of homeless persons in Collier County. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Through funding to the Shelter for Abused Women and Children, Collier County will provide emergency and transitional housing, along with supportive services, for victims of domestic violence. With anticipated funding of approximately $110,000, the Shelter estimates it will serve 600 homeless women and children in 2016-2017. In addition to providing funds for shelter operations, the County will also make a grant to the Shelter for improve security systems at its main campus and in its scattered-site transitional housing units. Also, while not a subrecipient this year, Youth Haven has received CDBG funds through Collier County in the past, and will continue providing emergency housing and supportive services to homeless youth. 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 Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 134 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) recently homeless from becoming homeless again Over the next year, Collier County will continue to operate its rental assistance program, which provides rapid re-housing program and homelessness prevention. This program is designed to shorten the period of time that homeless families or individuals experience homelessness. The program funds up a year of short term rental assistance (including up to 6 months of rental arrearage), rental security deposits and last month's rent, and/or costs such as rental application fees and utilities. For 2016-2017, the County will allocate approximately $20,000 to its rental assistance program, which is anticipated to assist 3 households. 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 To help families and individuals avoid becoming homeless, Collier County will continue to operate its rental assistance program in 2016-2017. This program seeks to prevent homelessness by providing up to a year of short term rental assistance (including up to 6 months of rental arrearage), rental security deposits and last month's rent, and/or costs such as rental application fees and utilities. Over the next year, the County will allocate approximately $20,000 to its rental assistance program, which is anticipated to assist approximately 3 households. Additionally, through funding from the State of Florida Department of Children and Families, Collier County will continue its Forensic Intensive Reintegration Support Team (FIRST), which provides persons with substance abuse or mental health issues leaving the judicial system with assistance to prevent homelessness or re-incarceration. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 135 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing—91.220(j) Introduction: The Collier County Land Development Code, as amended through December 11, 2014, and the Naples Land Development Code, as amended through October 6, 2015, were each reviewed and evaluated against a list of 15 common fair housing issues. In most cases, the zoning regulations are reasonably permissive and allow for flexibility as to the most common fair housing issues. Remarkably, neither jurisdiction received a high risk score on any of the 15 issues evaluated. However, the County and Naples received medium risk scores on certain issues where the zoning regulations still have the potential to negatively impact fair and affordable housing, and where improvements to the rules and policies could be made to more fully protect the fair housing rights of the County's residents. 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 Discussion: On paper, the residential zoning criteria for the jurisdictions surveyed are not inherently prohibitive, and yet there is general consensus among residents, planning officials, housing advocates, and other stakeholders that Collier County and Naples suffer from an affordability gap for both affordable and workforce housing. This problem will only grow as rent and home prices are expected to continue to trend upward. Based on 2015 projections provided by the University of Florida's Shimberg Center for Housing Studies, the County's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee estimates that 43% of Collier households pay more than 30% of their income (the limit considered financially healthy) on housing related expenses, and 22% of households spend more than half of their income on housing. The County is embarking on a planning initiative to develop additional incentives and programs to address affordable and workforce housing needs in the community. In March 2016, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to prepare a community-driven countywide Affordable Housing Plan. The County is currently working to establish a stakeholder committee and charter for the project and will then identify a planning consultant through an RFP process. In Building Capacity for Affordable Housing in Immokalee, the Florida Housing Coalition identifies several potential strategies for addressing barriers to affordable housing, which the County may consider including in its Affordable Housing Plan. While not an exhaustive list of the report's recommendations, potential strategies include: Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 136 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • Waiving or substantially reducing (rather than deferring) impact fees for affordable housing development for low- and moderate-income households; • Allowing and encouraging the use of Accessory Dwelling Units; • Prioritizing capital improvements in Immokalee; • Providing guidance on suitable types of farmworker housing by zoning district; • Improving code compliance efforts at mobile home parks in Immokalee; • Revisions to the County's Local Housing Assistance Plan to require 30- or 50-year affordability periods, rather than the current 15-year requirement; and • Reviewing the use of Affordable Housing Density Bonus provisions, including determining how many units have been created under the provision and whether enforcement actions were taken against developers that neglected to provide the agreed upon units. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 137 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) AP-85 Other Actions Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs To help remove obstacles to meeting underserved needs and improve service delivery, Collier County will work with local non-profits and other subrecipients to coordinate the work of social service organizations, disseminate news and information, and spearhead community-wide solutions to local needs. Specifically, the County will work on projects to construct and improve public infrastructure and facilities to support the development of affordable housing and benefit low- and moderate-income families; provide public services such as afterschool youth programming, transportation for special needs populations, legal assistance, and family safety programs; and make site improvements and rehabilitation to older rental units. The County is continually looking for additional funding to address underserved needs, and has procured SHIP and Criminal Justice, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse grants from the State. Over the next year, CHS staff will continue exploring new grant opportunities using grants.gov and other sources, and develop partnerships with local agencies as needed to make grant applications. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing During the 2016-2017 program year, Collier County will foster the development of new affordable housing by providing funds for infrastructure and site improvements at Faith Landing (a Habitat for Humanity project that will provide affordable homeownership opportunities) and Hatchers Preserve (to support development of affordable rental units). The County will also provide funding for site improvements to support affordable single- and multifamily housing rehabilitation at Timber Ridge at Sanders Pines Reserve. Using HOME funds, the County will assist with development of affordable single-family rental units at Arrowhead Reserve. The County is also embarking on a planning initiative to develop additional incentives and programs to address affordable and workforce housing needs in the community. With the assistance of a consultant, the County anticipates beginning work on a countywide Affordable Housing Plan during the next year. Additionally, the County will continue to work with CCHA, which helps foster affordable housing using federal resources it has been awarded. The County will use several strategies including: • Increase the number of affordable housing units by applying for additional Section 8 vouchers should they become available. • Leveraging affordable housing resources in the community through the creation of mixed-financed housing. • Pursuing housing resources other than Section 8 tenant-based assistance. Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 138 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) • Target available assistance to families at or below 30% of AMI, homeless, and the elderly by continuing to do outreach to community partners that serve the low-income, homeless, and the elderly. • Maintain or increase Section 8 lease-up rates by marketing the program to owners, particularly those outside of areas of minority and poverty concentration. • Participate in the Consolidated Plan development process to ensure coordination with broader community strategies. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The development of social service collaborations across the region to coordinate the work of social service organizations, disseminate news and information, and spearhead community- wide solutions to local needs is necessary to assist the community in overcoming gaps in services for low- and moderate-income persons, homeless persons, and special needs populations. In their Building Capacity for Affordable Housing in lmmokalee report, the Florida Housing Coalition identified potential ways to improve coordination and strengthen institutional structure advance affordable housing, including enhanced marketing of first-time homebuyer opportunities by the County through existing organizations such as Rural Neighborhoods, the Immokalee Interagency Council, and other local organizations that work with low-income groups. This study also identified the need for leadership around affordable housing. While there have been several initiatives dedicated to the issue, action has been limited. The Housing Coalition suggests the need for an ongoing leadership team consisting of government and private sector partners. To that end, the County is currently in the process of establishing a stakeholder committee to lead preparation of a countywide Affordable Housing Plan. Additionally, the County anticipates hiring an additional staff member in 2017 to assist with coordinating leadership around affordable housing. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The County will work to foster collaboration through dissemination of services, news, and information across social service organizations, subcontractors, and public and private entities. One way the County will accomplish this is through subrecipient meetings that bring together affordable housing developers and social service agencies. Additionally, development of the countywide Affordable Housing Plan over the next year will require input from and coordination of both housing providers and social service agencies. The County will encourage community-based solutions and regional partnerships, and will continue to support and participate in the CoC, whose membership includes both affordable housing and social service Consolidated Plan COLLIER COUNTY 139 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) agencies. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The incidents of childhood exposure to lead-based has steadily decreased in the County, with recent 2010-2014 ACS data indicating that 2% of children under the age of 6 are at risk of lead- based hazards. The County's health department will continue lead screenings and also properties proposed for rehabilitation will be screened for lead-based paint and property owners are provided with educational information. The County will continue to comply with federal regulations related to this hazard. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The County will continue development in its two designated CRAB and continue to allocate entitlement funding there. As funding is available, the County will promote job training, employment services, and small business and micro enterprise development through partnerships with local colleges, chambers of commerce, incubators, and business development centers.

If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. The CoC is currently developing a coordinated assessment system, in which Collier County will participate. In the meantime,the HMIS is used widely amongst appropriate agencies. 3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations). The County provides a competitive process for awarding all entitlement funding. This is widely advertised formally, via email, and at partnership meetings. A review and ranking committee reviews applications for merit and compliance. The CoC is provided an opportunity to support or not support an application. Eventually, the recommended awardees are noted in the Annual Action Plan. All public comment requirements are followed. The Annual Action Plan is presented to the Board of County Commissioners for approval, and then to HUD. 4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. Collier County meets the homeless participation requirement found in 24 CFR 576.405(a) through the Continuum of Care, which is led by the Collier County Hunger and Homeless Coalition. The CoC comments on funding applications and considers policies regarding homeless facilities and services. Other organizations representing the homeless provided input for the Consolidated Planning process, and a focus group was held at the Shelter for Abused Women and Children to gather input about housing and community development priorities. The County will continue to secure consultation with homeless or formerly homeless individuals, along with local organizations that represent and provide services to the homeless. 5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. The County funds the Shelter for Abused Women and Children using ESG funding, and requires that shelter services be provided on a continuous basis throughout the term of the grant and that 100 beneficiaries be served during the grant period.

CAO Collier County Citizen Participation Plan For Program Years 2016-2020 Draft: May 20, 2016 ^AO introduction The US Department of Housing and Urban Development requires that the Five Year Consolidated Plan (CP) for each entitlement agency adopt a Citizen's Participation Plan (CPP). This Citizen Participation Plan has been adopted by Collier County and is in conformance with the provisions of Federal regulations. Required by HUD regulation and Public Law 100-242, the Citizen's Participation Plan (CPP) outlines the methods used in the development, from a public input process, of the Five Year Consolidated Plan (CP) and Annual Action Plans (AAP) and how Collier County provides for maximum citizen participation in the development of these plans. The methods used by Collier County Community and Human Services Division (CHS) for allowing citizen participation and input for the development of the Consolidated Plan provides for the most basic and appropriate level of citizen participation. It is the intent of the County to provide for the maximum level of citizen participation in order to gather the most meaningful, thorough and effective input from its citizens. Citizen participation is broad due to the types of areas the County covers, which includes urban, rural and agricultural. At the same time, the process makes sure that the low and moderate income, disabled, elderly and other special populations are involved in the total input process. As the County is over 2,305 square miles in size and the second largest county in the State of Florida in land mass, it is important for the County to insure that all areas and populations are involved in the process. The diversity of this County is illustrated by the wealthy enclaves on the coast and islands along the Gulf of Mexico contrasted to the less endowed farming communities in the eastern agricultural portions of the County. The citizen participation/input process consists of the following summary of steps which maximizes the citizen's participation in the development of the Five Year Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan for Collier County, as well as the substantial amendments for either document. Details of each of these steps follow in the sections of this Citizen's Participation Plan. Citizen participation requirements shall not be construed to restrict the responsibility or authority of the County for the development and execution of its entitlement program activities. The Board of County Commissioners remains the sole approving authority for the Plan and any amendments. Applicability and ,dopti n of the Citizen Participation Plan Pursuant to 24 CFR Part 91, Consolidated Submissions for Community Planning and Development Programs, the jurisdiction is required to certify that it has developed and is acting in compliance with a Citizen Participation Plan that sets forth the jurisdiction's 2 policies and procedures for citizen participation. The plan must include the following topic areas: 1. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION: Provide for and encourage citizen participation, with particular emphasis on participation by persons of low and moderate-income. Of particular importance are those residents living in slum and blighted areas and where Federal funds are proposed to be used. Encourage the participation of all residents, including minorities, non-English speaking persons and persons with disabilities; 2. CITIZEN COMMENTS: Provide citizens with a reasonable opportunity to examine the proposed Consolidated Plan, Action Plans and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports. Provide a mechanism to submit written and oral comments and to provide for the consideration of these comments. Provide for a system for handling citizen complaints; 3. SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS: Provide for specification of criteria that Collier County will use to determine what constitutes a substantial change in the Collier County's planned or actual activities. This process will include a procedure for notification of the public and receipt of comments; 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS: Provide public hearings to obtain citizen views on housing and community development needs, at times and locations that are convenient to potential and actual beneficiaries. Allow for citizens to respond to proposals relative to the selection of funded activities. Respond to questions at all stages of the community development program, including the development of needs, the review of proposed activities and the review of past program performance; 5. REASONABLE AND TIMELY ACCESS: Provide citizens with reasonable and timely access to local meetings, information and records related to Collier County's proposed and actual use of funds at times and locations convenient to potential or actual beneficiaries including; • Annual Action Plans (AAP) • Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPERs) • Five Year Consolidated Plan (CP) • Substantial Amendments to any plan Accommodations for persons with disabilities and groups of non-English speaking persons will be made upon notification to the County within a reasonable time frame. 6. INFORMATION PROVIDED: Provide information to citizens, public agencies and other interested parties that includes the amount of Federal Assistance available 3 to the Collier County and the activities that may be undertaken. The information will include the estimated amount of funds that will benefit persons of low and moderate-income as well as plans to minimize displacement (even if no displacement is expected to occur); 7. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: Provide technical assistance to group representatives of persons of low- and moderate-incomes that request such assistance; 8. PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES: Provide for consultation between Collier County and public housing authorities in order to encourage participation by residents of public and assisted housing developments in the process and implementation of the Consolidated Plan. Provide information to these agencies about Consolidated Plan activities, so this information can be used in the Comprehensive Grant program process; 9. NON:ENGLISH SPEAKING RESIDENT NEEDS: Identify how the needs of non- English speaking residents will be met in the case of public hearings where a significant number of non-English speaking residents can be reasonably expected to participate; 10. PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: Provide accommodations for access to public hearing sites and public meetings for Persons with Disabilities; 11. COMPLAINT RESOLUTION: Provide for timely written answers to written complaints and grievances. Encourageniet of Citizen Participation To obtain the views of citizens, i.e., low to moderate-income persons, those living in slum and/or blighted areas and in areas where entitlement funds are proposed to be used, minorities, non-English speaking persons, persons with disabilities, public agencies, residents of public and assisted housing developments and other interested parties on housing and community development needs, the following strategies will be implemented: 1.

Response to inquiries, comments and complaints that are received will be answered by the Community and Human Services Division within 15 days of receipt. Criteria for r n lr eot(s) to Five Year ConsaPriated Plan Amendment to Five Year Consolidated Plan (CP): From time to time, it may be necessary for the County to process an amendment to the Five-Year Consolidated Plan or an Annual Actin Plan to allow for new CDBG, HOME, or ESG-funded projects or activities; modification of existing projects or activities; or other program administrative actions. The following definitions are essential to understanding the elements regarding the entitlement funding and the Plan amendment process. These definitions refer to the structural units of Projects and Activities as they are understood in the context of managing Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan undertakings and as they are defined and used in HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (where the plans reside and are reported upon). Projects: Projects are the overarching functional undertakings planned to address identified community needs. Projects provide the organizational structure under which individual Activities are set up in IDIS and must be specified in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. Activities: Activities refer to the specific tasks or programs of work that will be performed by the County and its subrecipients under the project categories. Activities represent the specific requests for funding from subrecipients, for example, and are the units to which grant funding can be committed and drawn. It is important to note that HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 91.505 "Amendments to the Consolidated Plan" use the term "activity" in a different context and without providing a definition of this term. Further, there is no regulatory section devoted to changes to the Annual Action Plan, but HUD has advised the County to use this regulation for both plans. In the absence, of an explicit regulatory definition for the term "activity", Collier County interprets "activity" in that regulation as referring to the broad categories of eligible activities outlined at 24 CFR Part 570.201. In this interpretation, the term "activity" in this regulation is equivalent to the above definition of"project". It is understood this appears to be a circular reference, but is the County's attempt to comply with unclear and apparently conflicting uses of the same words with different meanings by the same entity, HUD. HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 91.505 require amendments to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plans whenever there is a change in the allocation priorities or method of distributing funds presented in the plan; a change in the use of funds to an activity not described in the Annual Action Plan; or a change in the purpose, scope, location, 8 or beneficiaries of an activity. Taking this to its logical conclusion, this applies to changes to the Projects in the Consolidated and Annual Action plans. The regulation at 91.505(a) specifies conditions that require a plan amendment, but goes on to later state in paragraph (b) that the grantee must specify what changes will constitute a substantial amendment. Therefore, some amendments will be considered substantial while others will be considered administrative. Substantial amendments shall be advertised for public review and comment in a newspaper of general circulation. Comments from the public will be given due consideration by County staff before written notice of the plan amendment is sent to HUD. Administrative amendments do not require public consultation and may be implemented upon approval of Collier County's Director of Community and Human Services. A proposed amendment is considered substantial when: • It changes the Priority Needs listed in the Consolidated Plan or changes the method or basis`for distribution of funds. • It changes the use of CDBG funds from one project category to another project category (for example, from housing to public services, or to any other broad category within CDBG funding) or adds funding for a project not described in the Annual Action Plan. • It changes the use of HOME funds from one project type to another (for example, from neve construction to tenant-based rental assistance, or to any other broad eligible activity type under the HOME Program) or adds funding for a project type not described in the Annual Action Plan. • It changes the use of ESG funding from one of the following project categories to another: 1) Emergency Shelter/Street Outreach, 2) Homeless Prevention/Rapid Re- housing, and 3) Homeless Management Information; or adds funding for a project under one of these categories not described in the Annual Action Plan. • When a proposal is made to change the purpose or scope of a project from the description approved in the Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan • The target area of a project changes to the extent that it does not serve the estimated number and type of persons as originally described in the Consolidated Plan or Action Plan. • The proposed amendment changes the beneficiaries of a project by more than 50%. 9 • It result's in an increase in funding to a specific subrecipient of more than $50,000 or 45% of the activity budget (whichever is larger). A proposed amendment is considered administrative when: • Addition of new activities that are within the approved and outlined eligible activity categories/projects described in the Annual Action Plan, under an existing project. • Changes to an activity as described in the consolidated plan action plan that does not significantly change the purpose or scope of that activity. • It changes a subrecipient's budget by less than $50,000 or 45% of the activity budget (whichever is smaller).

Response to inquiries, comments and complaints that are received will be answered by the Community and Human Services Division within 15 days of receipt. Criteria for Amendment(s) to nnal Action Plan Amendment to Annual Action Plan (AAP): From time to time, it may be necessary for the County to process an amendment to the Five-Year Consolidated Plan or an Annual 12 Action Plan to allow for new CDBG, HOME, or ESG-funded projects or activities; modification of existing projects or activities; or other program administrative actions. The following definitions are essential to understanding the elements regarding the entitlement funding and the Plan amendment process. These definitions refer to the structural units of Projects and Activities as they are understood in the context of managing Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan undertakings and as they are defined and used in HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (where the plans reside and are reported upon). Projects: Projects are the overarching functional undertakings planned to address identified community needs. Projects provide the organizational structure under which individual Activities are set up in IDIS and must be specified in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. Activities: Activities refer to the specific tasks or programs of work that will be performed by the County and its subrecipients under the project categories. Activities represent the specific requests for funding from subrecipients, for example, and are the units to which grant funding can be committed and drawn. It is important`to note that HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 91.505 "Amendments to the Consolidated Plan" use the term "activity" in a different context and without providing a definition of this term. Further, there is no regulatory section devoted to changes to the Annual Action Plan, but HUD has advised the County to use this regulation for both plans. In the absence of an explicit regulatory definition for the term "activity", Collier County interprets "activity" in that regulation as referring to the broad categories of eligible activities outlined at 24 CFR Part 570.201. In this interpretation, the term "activity" in this regulation is equivalent to the above definition of"project". It is understood this appears to be a circular reference, but is the County's attempt to comply with unclear and apparently conflicting uses of the same words with different meanings by the same entity, HUD. HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 91.505 require amendments to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plans whenever there is a change in the allocation priorities or method of distributing funds presented in the plan; a change in the use of funds to an activity not described in the Annual Action Plan; or a change in the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity. Taking this to its logical conclusion, this applies to changes to the Projects in the Consolidated and Annual Action plans. The regulation at 91.505(a) specifies conditions that require a plan amendment, but goes on to later state in paragraph (b) that the grantee must specify what changes will constitute a substantial amendment. Therefore, some amendments will be considered substantial while others will be considered administrative. Substantial amendments shall be advertised for public review 13 and comment in a newspaper of general circulation. Comments from the public will be given due consideration by County staff before written notice of the plan amendment is sent to HUD. Administrative amendments do not require public consultation and may be implemented upon approval of Collier County's Director of Community and Human Services. A proposed amendment is considered substantial when: • It changes the Priority Needs listed in the Consolidated Plan or changes the method or basis for distribution of funds. • It changes the use of CDBG funds from one project category to another project category (for example, from housing to public services, or to any other broad category within CDBG funding) or adds funding for a project not described in the Annual Action Plan. • It changes the use of HOME funds from one project type to another (for example, from new construction to tenant-based rental assistance, or to any other broad eligible activity type under the HOME Program) or adds funding for a project type not described in the Annual Action Plan. • It changes the use of ESG funding from one of the following project categories to another: 1) Emergency Shelter/Street Outreach, 2) Homeless Prevention/Rapid Re- housing, and 3) Homeless Management Information; or adds funding for a project under one of these categories not described in the Annual Action Plan. • When a proposal is made to change the purpose or scope of a project from the description approved in the Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan • The target area of a project changes to the extent that it does not serve the estimated number and type of persons as originally described in the Consolidated Plan or Action Plan. • The proposed amendment changes the beneficiaries of a project by more than 50%. • It results in an increase in funding to a specific subrecipient of more than $50,000 or 45% of the activity budget (whichever is larger). A proposed amendment is considered administrative when: • Addition of new activities that are within the approved and outlined eligible activity categories/projects described in the Annual Action Plan, under an existing project. • Changes to an activity as described in the consolidated plan action plan that does not significantly change the purpose or scope of that activity. 14 • It changes a subrecipient's budget by less than $50,000 or 45% of the activity budget(whichever is smaller). Availability t6 the Public To provide the public an opportunity to share their views and to respond to the Annual Action Plan the following strategies will be implemented: 1. The Collier County will post the AAP on the Collier County website. 2. All reasonable efforts will be taken to make AAP accessible to persons with disabilities, upon request. Access to Records To provide an opportunity for citizens to receive information, submit comments and/or submit grievances on the proposed AAP the following strategies will be implemented: 1. Advertise a summary of the AAP, or a substantial amendment in a newspaper of general circulation, soliciting comments for a period of thirty (30) days. The summary will describe the contents and purpose of the AAP and will include locations where the entire plan may be examined. 2. Copies of the documents will also be placed on the County website. 3. The County will make available electronic copies of the documents to citizens and groups that request it. 4. Comments on the documents can be forwarded to: Collier County Community and Human Services Division 3339 East Tamiami Trail Suite 211 Naples, Florida 34112-5361 Phone: 239-252-4663 5. If not satisfied at the local level, complaints may be forwarded to HUD. Technical Assistance To provide technical assistance to groups representing low and moderate-income persons, the following strategy will be implemented: 1. Technical assistance will be provided by the staff of the Community and Human Services Division to group representatives of low and moderate-income persons that request such assistance in developing proposals for funding assistance under any programs covered by the Five Year Consolidated Plan. 15 C Complaints The Community and Human Services Division will act swiftly and objectively in resolving all written complaints and grievances utilizing the following strategies: 1. The Community and Human Services Division will respond to citizen complaints/grievances within fifteen business (15) days. The Director's response will indicate the avenue(s) of appeal to the complainant. 2. Citizens may, at any time during the complaint resolution process, contact the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) directly at the following address: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Community Planning and Development 909 SE First Avenue, Room 300 Miami, Florida 33131-3028 Solicitation Process There are several approaches approved by HUD that the Collier County may use to select projects to be included in the AAP for funding. Basic Models: Depending on the situation and circumstance of the project or the needs of the community the staff may choose any one of the following models or variations of those approaches to assist in the solicitation process of sub-recipients. The basic models are as follows: 1. Formal Application Process (RFA - Request For Applications or RFP Request For Proposals): Requires the submission of a formal application, typically undertaken once a year in conjunction with the grantee's planning process. Applications are evaluated based on explicit selection criteria. This process works best for projects with: a. numerous or complex activities; b. numerous potential applicants with varying degrees of experience; c. limited funding and increasing competition 2. Limited Application/Pre-Application Process: This approach is similar to the formal application process but the application is not detailed, allowing the Staff to review the applications and narrow the number of applications before requesting additional detailed information prior to making the final selections. This process is useful for grantees interested in encouraging additional participation of potential sub-recipients unfamiliar with the process or when the grantee is providing matching dollars for a larger project. 16 3. Request for Qualifications (RFQ): The Staff will identify potential qualified sub- recipients through an informal process or through a general RFQ. From the identified group, the staff will identify organizations qualified to carry out specific activities and will approach the organization about their interest in doing so. This process is proactive and is focused on qualified organizations that have the experience and capacity to present new and innovative approaches to solve approved objectives. 4. "Open Door" or Unsolicited Application Process: Allows application requests to be accepted and considered any time during the program year until funds are no longer available. The unsolicited application shall meet the same requirements of the solicitation process already in place for the identified funding source, and the application shall be evaluated based on the criteria used during the regular application process with selections to be made by staff. Selection of Sub-recipients and Contractors: Collier County will select from applicants who are requesting funding using criteria established by the County. • 17 c Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) To provide an opportunity for citizens to receive information and/or submit comments regarding the Comprehensive Annual Performance Report (CAPER) the following strategies will be implemented: 1.
