Agenda 09/25/2018 Item #16D1009/25/2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve a resolution for technical revisions to the Collier County State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) for Fiscal Years 2016-2017, 2017-2018, and 2018-2019 revising the Demolition and Replacement of Site Built Mobile/Manufactured Housing strategy, by: (1) clarifying that relocation expenses will be considered a grant and excluded from the maximum mortgage amount for four existing strategies, and (2) providing for an exception to the State regulation on a twenty (20%) percent maximum annual allocation for mobile/manufactured homes thereby increasing the maximum SHIP loan amount to $150,000 with a cap of $75,000 for the mobile/manufactured unit and a maximum of $75,000 for infrastructure and site related improvements per owner-occupied lot. OBJECTIVE: To promote affordable housing with new and expanded programs for low to moderate income residents of Collier County. CONSIDERATIONS: On July 7, 1992, the William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act was signed into law to provide funding to local communities through a documentary stamp tax on real estate transactions to promote affordable housing. Under the SHIP Program, Collier County and the City of Naples receive funds from the State to provide initiatives to expand affordable housing opportunities. The 2016-2019 LHAP was adopted on April 26, 2016 (Agenda Item #16D4). The LHAP identifies various methods, or strategies, by which funds will be allocated and disbursed in the community. Currently, the 2016-2019 LHAP strategy, Demolition and/or Replacement of Site Built Mobile/ Manufactured Housing, allows for a maximum award of $75,000. As a result of Hurricane Irma, the Community and Human Services Division (CHS) is presently assisting eleven (11) qualified homeowners and working to income qualify an additional twelve (12) homeowners with demolition and replacement of their damaged units in the Everglades City area, East Naples, and Immokalee. Based upon the work that has begun, it was determined that $75,000 is insufficient to procure a new manufactured structure and meet the FEMA base flood elevations, all required County and State building codes, and homeowner association requirements. Many of the homeowners that have qualified for SHIP assistance are not able to qualify for conventional loans from local lenders. Therefore, additional SHIP funds are needed for these very-low- to moderate- income homeowners. It is recommended to increase the maximum award to allow for additional expenses such as engineering, stilts/piling, infrastructure, and site improvements to meet all current code requirements. The maximum SHIP loan amount would be increased to $150,000 with a cap of $75,000 for the mobile/manufactured unit and a maximum of $75,000 for infrastructure and site related improvements per owner-occupied lot. Without this increase in assistance many of these low-income homeowners will continue to have uninhabitable homes. In addition, Collier County is proposing to add clarifying language to four (4) specific strategies stating that relocation expenses are considered a grant and are excluded from the maximum mortgage amount. There are several reasons for these proposed changes to the SHIP LHAP. The State SHIP Statutes 420.9075 (5) (e) caps each county or city from spending more than twenty (20%) percent of their local housing distribution funding on mobile/manufactured housing. In July 2018, CHS Staff spoke with Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) regarding the SHIP spending cap and the challenges Collier County was facing in the rebuilding process post-Irma. A letter outlining the staff concerns was submitted to the FHFC on July 13, 2018. FHFC responded agreeing to exempt Collier County from the twenty (20%) percent maximum allocation related to mobile/manufactured units destroyed or 16.D.10 Packet Pg. 1807 09/25/2018 substantially damaged by Hurricane Irma during the declared disaster period stated in the State of Florida Executive Order Number 18-182. In addition, FHFC indicated that the CHS request to add clarifying language regarding relocation expenses to be recognized as a grant and increasing the maximum loan amount for the manufactured housing strategy to $150,000 to meet FEMA base flood elevation requirements, and other state and local building code requirements, were technical in nature and did not require their review committee approval. The SHIP Program requires the Board of County Commissioners to approve, by Resolution, any revisions to the LHAP. FISCAL IMPACT: Submission of the Local Housing Assistance Plan revisions allow Collier County to expend funds for the fiscal years identified in this plan. SHIP grant funds reside in SHIP Fund (791) Projects 33467 (FY16-17), 33525 (FY17-18), and 33569 (FY18-19). GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The LHAP revisions will allow the County to expand affordable housing assistance to its citizens and further the goals of the Housing Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. -JAB STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve and authorize the Chairman to sign a resolution for technical revisions to the Collier County State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) for Fiscal Years 2016-2017, 2017-2018, and 2018-2019 revising the Demolition and Replacement of Site Built Mobile/Manufactured Housing strategy, by (1) clarifying that relocation expenses will be considered a grant and excluded from the maximum mortgage amount for four existing strategies, and (2) providing for an exception to the State regulation on a twenty (20%) percent maximum annual allocation for mobile/manufactured homes thereby increasing the maximum SHIP loan amount to $150,000 with a cap of $75,000 for the mobile/manufactured unit and a maximum of $75,000.

Organizations must submit the proposal/application as outlined in the application instructions and initially provide information including, but not limited to, application construction management process, contractor and bid process or prior rehabilitation, construction, demolition experience with references. Additional information will be obtained such as resumes, construction oversight, construction agreements, accounting and financial information for project tracking and payment, organization experience, audit reports, financial statements, for evaluation of eligibility. h.

LHAP Incentive Strategies In addition to the required Incentive Strategy A and Strategy B, include all adopted incentives with the policies and procedures used for implementation as provided in Section 420.9076, F.S.: A. Name of the Strategy: Expedited Permitting Permits as defined in s. 163.3177 (6) (f) (3) for affordable housing projects are expedited to a greater degree than other projects. On December 8, 2015, the Board Collier County Board of County Commissioners Approved an AHCA recommended Incentive Strategy to expedite the development review process for qualified affordable- workforce housing. Initially, a qualification meeting is called with the developer and staff to determine if the project meets the affordable housing requirements. Those projects that demonstrate compliance will be issued a certificate to allow the expedited review process for all development orders. Planning and Zoning will provide expedited status by assisting these developments first throughout the process from application through Certificate of Occupancy. B. Name of the Strategy: Ongoing Review Process An ongoing process for review of local policies, ordinances, regulations and plan provisions that increase the cost of housing prior to their adoption. Collier County requires all items which have the potential to increase the cost of housing to be prepared and presented to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners with the amount of the increase or decrease mentioned in the executive summary. The process, by which items are prepared for the BCC Agenda includes a vast approval hierarchy to ensure that all proposed actions impacting affordable housing are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, the Collier County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee regularly forms subcommittees to review impediments to affordable housing, as well as new affordable housing incentives. C. Other Incentive Strategies Adopted: 1. . Increased Density for Affordable Housing Collier County allows developers to request increased density when including a certain percentage of affordable housing in the proposed development. An Affordable Housing Density Bonus Agreement must be submitted and approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners as provided for in the Collier County Land Development Code, ss. 2.06.00. 2. Inventory of Locally Owned Public Lands Suitable for Affordable Housing. Collier County prepares an inventory of all real property owned by Collier County that may be appropriate for use as affordable housing in accordance with Sec. 125.379 F.S. every three years. On December 8, 2015, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Approved an AHCA 16.D.10.a Packet Pg. 1842 Attachment: Collier County 2016-19 LHAP Final October 2017 w-tech rev April 2018 amend demo-replace DL LC KS rev81318 [Revision 1] (6583 recommended Incentive Strategy to permits properties identified as appropriate for use as affordable housing may be offered for sale and the proceeds used to purchase land for the development of affordable housing or to increase the local government fund earmarked for affordable housing, or may be sold with a restriction that requires the development of the property as permanent affordable housing, or may be donated to a nonprofit housing organization for the construction of permanent affordable housing.
