appropriated to Collier County by HERA, while NSP3 refers to the $3,884,165 appropriated by the Dodd -
Frank Act; Collier County's total NSP appropriation was $11,190,920.
There are five (5) eligible uses for NSP1 and NSP3 (collectively NSP)'. They are as follows:
1. Eligible Use A
a. Establish financing mechanisms for purchase and redevelopment of foreclosed upon
homes and residential properties.
2. Eligible Use B
a. Purchase and rehabilitate homes and residential properties that have been abandoned
or foreclosed upon, in order to sell, rent, or redevelop such homes and properties.
3. Eligible Use C
a. Establish and operate land banks for homes and residential properties that have been
foreclosed upon.
4. Eligible Use D
a. Demolish blighted structures.
5. Eligible Use E
a. Redevelop demolished or vacant properties as housing.
Collier County will focus efforts in areas approved by the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). They include Golden Gate Estates, East Naples, Golden Gate City, and Naples
Pa rk2.
If any information, policy, or procedure contained herein conflicts with the NSP, the NSP shall take
precedence.
DEFINITIONS
Certain terms used with the NSP are not used in the regular Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program, or the terms are used differently. In the interest of clarity of administration, HUD has
defined these terms to assist grantees in operating the NSP.
Abandoned
A home or residential property is abandoned if either a) mortgage, tribal leasehold, or tax payments are
at least 90 days delinquent, or b) a code enforcement inspection has determined that the property is not
habitable and the owner has taken no corrective actions within 90 days of notification of the
1 Federal Register Docket Nos. FR- 5255 -N -01; FR- 5447 -N -01.
2 The areas are limited to specific census tracts and /or other boundaries within the general areas listed; not all
i� homes within the target areas are eligible. Specific location information is available in the NSP1 and NSP3 Action
Plans.
3 Federal Register Docket No. FR- 5447 -N -01.

deficiencies, or c) the property is subject to court- ordered receivership or nuisance abatement related '~
to abandonment pursuant to state or local law or otherwise meets a state definition of an abandoned
home or residential property.
Blighted Stricture
A structure is blighted when it exhibits objectively determinable signs of deterioration sufficient to
constitute a threat to human health, safety, and public welfare. Furthermore, the grantee shall further
define the definition of a blighted structure and include such definition in their NSP substantial
amendment.
Current Market Appraised Value
The current market appraised value means the value of a foreclosed upon home or residential property
that is established through and appraisal made in conformity with either: 1) the appraisal requirements
of the URA at 49 CFR 24.103, or 2) the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), or
3) the appraisal requirements of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or a government sponsored
enterprise (GSE); and the appraisal must be completed or updated within 60 days of a final offer made
for the property.
The date of notice of foreclosure shall be deemed to be that date on which complete title to a property
is transferred to a successor entity or person as a result of an order of a court or pursuant to provisions
in a mortgage, deed of trust, or security deed. If none of these events occur in the acquisition of a
foreclosed property (e.g. in a short sale), in order to ensure fair and equitable treatment of a bona fide
tenant(s) and consistency with the NSP definition of foreclosed, the date of notice of foreclosure shall be
deemed to be the date on which the property is acquired for the NSP- assisted project. NOTE: This
definition does not affect or otherwise alter the definition of "foreclosed ".

property's current delinquency status is at least 60 days delinquent under the Mortgage Bankers of
America delinquency calculation and the owner has been notified; b) the property owner is 90 days or
more delinquent on tax payment; c) under state, local, or tribal law, foreclosure proceedings have been
initiated or completed; or d) foreclosure proceedings have been completed and title has transferred to

or end user.
Land Bank
A land bank is a governmental or nongovernmental nonprofit entity established, at least in part, to
assemble, temporarily manage, and dispose of vacant land for the purpose of stabilizing neighborhoods
and encouraging re -use or redevelopment of urban property. For purposes of NSP, a land bank will
operate in a specific, defined geographic area. It will purchase properties that have been foreclosed
upon and maintain, assemble, facilitate redevelopment of, market, and dispose of the land - banked
properties. if the land bank is a governmental entity, it may also maintain foreclosed property that it
does not own, provided it charges the owner of the property the full cost of the services or places a lien
on the property for the full cost of the service.

median income.

20 Collier County Ordinance No. 2009 -63.
21 The final sales price procedure is established to ensure that Collier County does not sell a property for an
amount greater than the aggregate NSP investment, thus exposing the County to a potential audit finding.
22 For example, the aggregate NSP investment in a project is determined to be $147,518.25. The final sales price
would be calculated as follows: aggregate investment ($147,518.25) minus voluntary reduction ($1,000.00) equals
$146,518.25, rounded down to the nearest thousand equals final sales price of $146,000.00.
23 When qualifying for first mortgage financing from a private financial institution, such institution will determine
the maximum financing available based on the appraised value or purchase price, whichever is less. For example,
if Collier County invested $147,518.25 in a project that appraised for only $130,000.00, the maximum first
mortgage financing would be based on the appraisal value. Although underwriting guidelines vary from lender to
lender, it is generally true that the maximum loan -to -value available to purchasers will range from 80 percent of
appraised value to 97 percent of appraised value.

/001N, PROGRAM INCOME24
Revenue received by Collier County that is directly generated from the use of CDBG funds (which term
includes NSP grant funds) constitutes program income. On June 11, 2009, HUD issued a revised notice 25
implementing substantive revisions to the October 6, 2008 notice, primarily as a result of changes to the
NSP made by Title XII of Division A of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The
effective date of the substantive revisions, as determined by HUD, remained as published in the Federal
Register on October 6, 2008.
Section 2301(d)(4) of HERA, which established requirements for the disposition of revenue generated by
NSP assisted activities, was repealed by the Recovery Act. As a result of this repeal, revenue generated
from the use of NSP funds and received by a private individual or other entity that is not a subrecipient
is not required to be returned to grantee as was required by section 2301(d)(4). A further result of this
provision is that program income received after July 30, 2013 is not required to be returned to HUD for
deposit in Treasury. However, the program income requirements of the CDBG program are still
applicable to income directly generated from the use of NSP funds and received by grantees or
subrecipients.
Program income received may be retained by Collier County and treated as additional NSP funds and
used in accordance with NSP regulations. Substantially all program income must be disbursed for
eligible NSP activities before additional cash withdrawals are made from the U.S. Treasury.
HUD allows Housing, Human and Veteran Services to use ten (10) percent of the NSP grant and ten (10)
percent of program income earned for general administration and planning activities.
APPROVAL
This NSP Administrative Plan replaces the existing Plan approved by the Board of County Commissioners
on March 24, 2009, amended October 27, 2009, further amended June 28, 2011, and shall be used in
the administration of NSP1 and NSP3.
Adopted this 25th day of June, 2013.
