Agenda 11/10/2020 Item #16D 8 (Resolution - Substantial Amendments to US Dept of HUD Annual Action Plan)16.D.8
11/10/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve (1) substantial amendments to Collier County's U.S Department of
Housing and Urban Development FY2019-2020 Annual Action Plan to address additional funding
and activities related to COVID-19 that provides $2,476,642 for ESG-CV Round 2 and $2,671,095
CDBG-CV Round 3 activities for those impacted by the Coronavirus; (2) associated ESG and
CDBG Budget Amendments, and (3) authorize the Chairman to sign the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development required SF424s, SF424Ds, Certifications, and grant funding
agreements upon arrival.
OBJECTIVE: To further administer Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding to rapidly
respond to the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19).
CONSIDERATIONS: The U.S. Department of HUD provides CDBG, HOME, and ESG entitlement
funds to the County annually to address program -specific needs in the community. The Board of County
Commissioners (Board) previously approved the FY2019-2020 One Year Action Plan on June 25, 2019 -
Agenda Item # 16D2. On May 12, 2020, Agenda Item # 16F 1(f) the Board ratified the County Manager's
action to amend the 2019-2020 One Year Action Plan to recognize the first round of CDBG and ESG
COVID-19 funding for $1,561,633 and $707,128 respectively.
As a result of the Coronavirus Pandemic, HUD is making additional funding available to local
communities to address the pressing needs of those who have been impacted by COVID-19 including
those who have lost their employment, business, or other income. 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. A substantial amendment to an Action Plan or Consolidated Plan
would typically require advertising and a 30-day public comment period. As a result of this national
health crisis, HUD has provided waivers to entitlement communities to allow for virtual public hearings
and a minimum 5-day public comment period.
The required notice to amend the 2019 Action Plan was published in the Naples Daily News on October
28, 2020. The advertisement identified the 5-day public comment period from October 28 through
November 3, 2020. As of the Agenda publication, one public comment regarding the two (2) substantial
amendments to the 2019 Action Plan has been received and is attached.
The following substantial amendment changes are proposed to the FY2019-2020 HUD Annual Action
Plan and will be incorporated where appropriate in the HUD -approved document.
2019-2020 Action Plan:
Amend the existing 2019-2020 Action Plan to add the following language in the appropriate sections
related to ESG and CDBG funding:
1. Expand the scope of the 2019 ESG-CV Program, in conjunction with Community and Human
Services (CHS) community partners, to allow for the implementation of all eligible ESG-CV
activities including, but not limited to, Street Outreach, Shelter Operations, Homeless Prevention and
Rapid -Re -Housing, HMIS Data Collection, and Administration. ESG-CV activities consisted of
approximately $636,415 from Round 1 and will increase by $2,228,978 as a result of ESG-CV2
funding.
Packet Pg. 1700
16.D.8
11/10/2020
Project Name: ESG-CV Homeless Prevention Assistance Activities - Provide those who are
homeless or at risk of homelessness with short-term rental assistance, rapid re -housing, street
outreach, shelter operations, data collection, and program administration. Implement all eligible ESG-
CV activities through the Shelter for Abused Women and Children, NAMI, and other CHS
community partners.
2. Expand the scope of the 2019 CDBG-CV Program to allow for all CDBG eligible activities
including, but not limited to economic development and job training, expanded public service
activities, purchase of necessary disaster supplies (PPE), COVID-19 related facility renovations, or
other CDBG eligible activities to be developed based upon community need. Round 1 of CDBG-CV
funding provided $1,249,306 for CDBG eligible activities and will now increase by $2,136,877 as a
result of CDBG-CV3 funding.
Project Name: CDBG-CV Response and Recovery (112) - Households, individuals, businesses &
community assistance to include expanded Public Service (PS) activities, business stabilization,
employment training, job creation, COVID related facility renovations, housing assistance, mental
health services, food banks, and other eligible CDBG disaster activities related to the Coronavirus
Pandemic in accordance with the Federal Register.
FISCAL IMPACT: Budget Amendments are required to reflect the increase in allocation of CDBG-CV
funds to a total of $4,232,728 and ESG-CV funds to $3,183,770. The second round of funding in the
amount of $5,147,737, will be apportioned within the Housing Grant Fund (705), Project 33674 CDBG-
CV in the amount of $2,671,095 and Project 33675 ESG-CV in the amount of $2,476,642. The match
requirement for this ESG funding has been waived by HUD. The administrative cap of $781,883 is based
on a maximum of 10% and 20% of the awarded amounts for ESG-CV and CDBG-CV programs
respectively.

Dear Mrs. McLeod,
For more than 30 years, St. Matthew's House has been providing critical services to the disadvantaged
in our community. Our soup kitchens haven't missed a day of feeding since their inception in 1988, and
our shelters have been at capacity for more than a decade. Now, in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak
and resulting economic downturn, at -risk populations are facing even greater needs and vulnerabilities
and are coming to St. Matthew's House for assistance. Food insecurity is rising in our community at
unprecedented rates as the working poor are faced with hard decisions to make ends meet, choosing
between paying rent or buying groceries, seeking medical care or paying utility bills.
In response to increased demand, St. Matthew's House has scaled its mobile pantry to serve a record
number of individuals and families who have been adversely affected by the Coronavirus outbreak.
Since March 1, we have distributed shelf -stable food and fresh produce to a total of 54,989 households,
compared to 2,140 households served during the same time period in 2019. To accommodate this
2500% increase in need, St. Matthew's House began leasing a 10,000 square -foot warehouse facility for
the purpose of storing, sorting and packaging large quantities of food for distribution to the community.
Costs associated with this leased space are currently being reimbursed through CARES Act funds which
are set to expire on December 30, 2020. However, the working poor are often the first and hardest hit in
seasons of economic hardship, but the last to recover, meaning that increased need for our programs
could continue for months or years after the immediacy of the crisis dissipates.
As a result, we are now seeking funds to purchase a permanent food storage facility in order to sustain
our increased food assistance operations into 2021. We have identified several viable options for sale
including a 10,000 square foot facility for $3.9M on Industrial Avenue. Additionally, we have garnered
support of the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation in establishing a public/private partnership on the
project. The Foundation has committed a $1,000,000 matching grant contingent upon St. Matthew's
House raising $1,000,000 in charitable support and securing $1,000,000 in government funding.

If awarded, CDBG-CV3 funds would equip St. Matthew's House to continue preventing, preparing
for and responding to increased community needs due to COVID-19. Owning a facility for this
purpose would provide a sense of permanency for our relief efforts and ensure adequate space to
expand capacity as needed in the future.
Further, establishing a permanent warehouse would afford opportunities for increased collaboration
with regional partners resulting in additional resources for our community. Midwest Food Bank has
expressed an interest in expanding their presence into Collier County and would commit to stocking
the warehouse if St. Matthew's House secured a fixed location. With Midwest's ability to source large
quantities of food from local, state and national providers, this would effectively bring a second food
bank to our area to complement the existing work being done by Harry Chapin. Smaller pantries and
outreach programs will have access to these resources as well, increasing both the quantity and
frequency of food distributions throughout our community.
Lastly, the facility would continue to serve Collier County long-term, even after recovery from
COVID-19 is complete. In the face of hurricanes, wildfires or other disasters, the warehouse could be
converted to a staging area for community -wide emergency preparedness and response. For several
years, St. Matthew's House and county officials have identified the need for such an asset, which has
only increased in light of the COVID-19 public health and economic crises.
In the event that CDBG-CV3 funds cannot be used for the acquisition of a building, St. Matthew's
House would consider construction of a facility on existing property at 2601 Airport Road South.
However, this option is less desirable in that zoning, permitting and environmental studies could
prolong the project for months, failing to effectively respond to the immediacy of the COVID-19
crisis.
For these reasons, it is our hope that you will consider allocating a portion of the available CDBG-
CV3 funds to St. Matthew's House so that we may continue to meet the growing and changing needs
of our community both now and into the future.
Sincerely,
v
