Agenda 03/22/2022 Item #16D2 (Emergency Rental Assistance 1 & 2 Programs Updates)03/22/2022 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve updates to the Emergency Rental Assistance 1 and 2 programs from the U.S. Department of Treasury to expand allowable activities for households seeking assistance to include payments to collection agencies and allowing for the payment of fees required by landlords under these programs. OBJECTIVE: To continue to provide grant funding to Collier County residents unable to pay rent and utilities due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. CONSIDERATIONS: On January 5, 2021, the U.S. Department of Treasury announced funding available to state and local governments to provide financial support to residents that are unable to pay rent and utilities due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Collier County was eligible for this funding since our resident population exceeds 200,000 per the Consolidated Congressional Act of 2021. The Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) 1 Program made available $25 billion to assist nationwide. On January 26, 2021, Agenda Item #16D7, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) accepted the ERA 1 funding in the amount of $11,622,381. On March 25, 2021, the County was notified that the US Treasury had modified our award terms, extending the award and administrative cost terms. On June 8, 2021, Agenda Item #16D1 the Board accepted the amendment to ERA 1. On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan (ARP) which included additional funds and created the Emergency Rental Assistance Program 2 (ERA 2). These funds were received by the County on May 10, 2021. On June 08, 2021, Agenda Item #16D1, the Board accepted the ERA 2 funding in the amount of $9,088,102. On October 12, 2021, Item#10B, the Board accepted changes to further streamlining eligibility and expanding allowable activities under the program based on US Treasury guidance issued on August 4, 2021. To ensure that assistance is made available to all who qualify, further expanding allowable activities for the County's Emergency Rental Assistance 1 and 2 programs is necessary and includes the following: Individual Assistance (Rental, Utilities, and Housing Stability Payment) 1. Allow payments to be made directly to a collection agency after the tenant no longer resides in the unit. On October 12, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners approved payments to landlords after tenants vacated the property, however, if the account has been turned over for collection, the landlord typically will not accept payments. To assist with credit repair, it is necessary for the County to issue payments directly to the collection agency, in order to remove barriers a household may face in accessing new housing, avoid further collection efforts, and credit damage. 2. Provide additional assistance to applicants seeking a new rental property by allowing the following: Payments on behalf of the applicants to the new landlords for first month’s rent, last month’s rent, and initial fees including, but not limited to, security deposit, application fee, utility fees, pet fees, or any other fees associated with obtaining a new lease agreement. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no new Fiscal impact with this amendment. The funding source for this 16.D.2 Packet Pg. 658 03/22/2022 grant is Community & Human Services Grant Fund (705) Projects 33734 and 33761. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this item. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board action. -JAB RECOMMENDATION: To approve updates to the Emergency Rental Assistance 1 and 2 programs from the U.S. Department of Treasury to expand allowable activities for households seeking assistance to include payments to collection agencies and allowing for the payment of fees required by landlords under these programs.

OBJECTIVE: To continue to provide grant funding to Collier County residents unable to pay rent and utilities due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. CONSIDERATIONS: On January 5, 2021, the U.S. Department of Treasury announced funding available to state and local governments to provide financial support to residents that are unable to pay rent and utilities due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Collier County was eligible for this funding since our resident population exceeds 200,000 per the Consolidated Congressional Act of 2021. The Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) 1 Program made available $25 billion to assist nationwide. On January 26, 2021, Agenda Item #16D7, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) accepted the ERA 1 funding in the amount of $11,622,381. On March 25, 2021, the County was notified that the US Treasury had modified our award terms, extending the award and administrative cost terms. On June 8, 2021, Agenda Item #16D1 the Board of County Commissioners accepted the amendment to ERA 1. On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan (ARP) which included additional funds and created the Emergency Rental Assistance Program 2 (ERA 2). These funds were received by the County on May 10, 2021. On June 08, 2021, Agenda Item #16D1, the Board accepted the ERA 2 funding in the amount of $9,088,102. On August 24, 2021, Agenda Item#16D1, the Board of County Commissioners accepted a clarifying Executive Summary to further streamline the eligibility requirements for households seeking assistance under the program based on US Treasury guidance issued on August 4, 2021. In September 2021 the Gordon River Apartments were sold to a private real estate investment firm. Since the sale, residents of the complex have been negatively impacted and many are in need of housing. Residents of this complex have been impacted by Covid and/or experienced reduction in household income, incurred significant cost, or experienced other financial hardship during or due directly or indirectly to the Coronavirus outbreak. Therefore, incorporating the modifications published by the US Treasury on August 25, 2021 will allow the County to expand the program through additional services thus benefitting a large population. To ensure that assistance is made available to all who qualify for the Emergency Rental Assistance 1 and 2 programs, Collier County is further streamlining eligibility and expanding allowable activities under these grants as follows: Individual Assistance (Rental, Utilities, and Housing Stability Payment) 1. Allow rental payments for hotel or motel rooms, not to exceed the published GSA rate The cost of a hotel/motel room occupied by an eligible household may be covered using ERA Assistance within the category of “Other Expenses” under the following circumstances: 16.D.2.d Packet Pg. 675 Attachment: ERA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 10.12.21 (21345 : ERA Grants Allowable Activities) a. The household has been temporarily or permanently displaced from its primary residence or does not have a permanent residence elsewhere b. The total assistance provided to the household does not exceed the applicable time limit of 18 months c. The cost of the hotel/motel room may include all applicable sales tax and fees customary for room rental. d. The allowable hotel/motel stay will be limited to 30 days or will be extended at the discretion of the County according to the need of each applicant and may not include expenses incidental to the charge for the room. 2. Allow prospective rental payments for recertifications based on rental obligation as stated on lease agreement (i.e. pay at once for the remainder of the lease term) a. Prospective rent payments for recertified applicants will be based on the rental obligation stated on the lease, not require a rent ledger ongoing, provided the rent is all inclusive, and there are no additional monthly charges, i.e. water, sewer. Applicants requesting additional late charges will be asked to provide updated rent ledgers documentation for additional late charges and fees. 3. Allow payments to landlords after the tenant no longer resides in the unit due to owing back rent if qualified a. In order to remove barriers a household may face in accessing new housing, avoid further collection efforts and credit damage, as well as limit the financial burden on landlords, the County may, at the tenant’s request, provide assistance for rental or utility arrears after the eligible tenant has vacated a unit. If the account has been turned over for collection, the County may require the landlord or utility provider to notify the tenant and collection agency that payment has been received and that there will be no further collection efforts. 4. Allow payments to landlords with homesteaded properties a. Per Florida statutes 196.031 and 196.061, homesteaded properties may not be rented in their entirety or in part, unless there is a completely separate living quarters (apartment, in-law suite, etc.), whether attached to, or detached from the primary home. Any non-shared living space is eligible for rent, and payments should be provided to the landlord. Room rentals where there are shared common areas (kitchens, bathrooms, etc.), are not allowed. 5. Payments related to current eviction cases can be determined by the landlord. a. In order to reduce the wait time to receive payment in court registered eviction cases, and return the applicant to good standing as soon as possible, landlords may determine payments be made directly to them instead of being paid to the Court Registry. 6. Allow self-certification in the ERA 2 program to verify a reduction in household income, incurred significant cost or experienced other financial hardship during or due directly or indirectly to the Coronavirus outbreak. All other previously approved requirements remain in effect in addition to those noted above. County staff in collaboration with other municipalities and organizations will utilize these proposed changes and other program guidance to assist those eligible residents. 16.D.2.d Packet Pg. 676 Attachment: ERA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 10.12.21 (21345 : ERA Grants Allowable Activities) FISCAL IMPACT: There is no new Fiscal impact with this amendment. The funding source for this grant is Community & Human Services Grant Fund (705) Projects 33734 and 33761. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this Item. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Chair signature is not required for the clarifications. This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board action. - JAB RECOMMENDATION: Accept changes to the U.S. Department of Treasury Emergency Rental Assistance 1 and 2 programs to streamline eligibility requirements and add allowable activities for households seeking assistance under the programs to benefit all eligible residents and those impacted by the sale of the Gordon River Apartments.
