Agenda 03/22/2022 Item #16D7 (American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State & Local Recovery Fund update)03/22/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to accept an update on the American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State and
Local Fiscal Recovery Fund and authorize programmatic funding reallocations to support the one
time allowance to local government, Capital Equipment Purchases for Emergency Medical Services
and Affordable Housing based on the Final Rule published by the US Treasury and authorize the
submission of the updated and annual Performance Plan.
OBJECTIVE: To provide an update on American Rescue Plan (ARP) Coronavirus State and Local
Fiscal Recovery Fund activities and Recovery Plan.
CONSIDERATIONS: Since the onset of the global COVID-19 health pandemic, Congress has passed
several pieces of legislation that provided funding for states, counties, municipalities, and tribal
governments. Large pieces of legislation, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act, The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 - which included a $900 billion COVID-19
Relief package - and the American Rescue Plan Act 2021 made funds available for a variety of uses for
pandemic recovery. In addition, several existing grant programs, like the Emergency Rental Assistance,
Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant, and HOME ARP Grant, were
provided to address COVID-19 response.
Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP), and it was signed into law on March 11,
2021. Included in the legislation was a $350 billion Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund -
Collier County will receive an allocation of $74,762,701. Like the CARES Act, uses of these funds will
be directed by the local governing body, following US Treasury guidance. Collier County received its
initial appropriation of $37,381,350.50 on June 10. The second 50% appropriation will be released to the
County within twelve (12) months of the initial allocation.
Allowable uses outlined in the ARP include (but are not limited to):
• Responding to or mitigating the public health emergency with respect to the COVID-19
emergency or its negative economic impacts; and,
• Providing government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue; and,
• Make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure; and
• Responding to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health
emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers of the county that are performing
such essential work, or by providing grants to eligible employers that have eligible workers
who perform essential work.
On May 11, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Agenda Item #11J, an “After-
the-Fact” agreement submission to the U.S. Treasury, and accepted an update on the County’s Assistance
Programs. On June 22, 2021, Agenda Item #11H, staff presented a preliminary performance plan to the
Board. This preliminary performance plan was based on the interim final rule published by the US
Treasury. Subsequently, on January 6, 2022, the US Treasury published the final rule and made
significant programmatic and regulatory changes that take effect on April 1, 2022.
The changes include requiring all funds to be incurred by 2024 and expended by 2026, thus reducing the
time available for procurement and construction. In addition, Treasury has imposed cross-cutting
requirements not previously required. Therefore, some of the originally proposed projects may not meet
the spending window or allowable uses. In addition, the US Treasury has provided an automatic $10M
allowance to all local governments to support the provision of government services. This allowance
16.D.7
Packet Pg. 836
03/22/2022
allows local governments to reallocate funds to needed areas while supporting government sector
operations, allowing for redistribution of those government funds.
The following table presents ARP allocations included in the Performance Plan submitted to the US
Treasury on August 31, 2021 and the proposed current final rule allocation. In keeping with Board's
direction to support community services and activities, the modifications are proposed below.

The above budget changes reflect the first, and most impactful, set of changes that responds to the
Treasury’s release of the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds final rule. As a result of these changes,
the Collier County Plan also includes the removal of the infrastructure and tourism marketing projects,
introduction of revenue replacement using the standard allowance, a second affordable housing initiative,
public health infrastructure projects, consolidation and re-framing of the library tutoring and the
university extension nutrition education projects, and scope refinement on the Museum Pioneer Garden
Project. The final rule also directed local governments to further define performance outcomes resulting
in changes to Key Performance Indicators, Evidence Base documentation, and project descriptions. All
proposed projects and key performance indicators have been reviewed by the County’s consulting firm
and evaluators, Florida Gulf Coast University, and have been determined to meet the intent of the US
Treasury final rule.
Of note, Treasury released new Reporting and Compliance Guidance on February 28, 2022, which will
impact at least twelve (12) of the nineteen (19) project expenditure categories. This will be reflected in the
Recovery Plan 2022 update due in July 2022 and it is unlikely to impact project definitions and
descriptions, however, they will be re-classified to new expenditure categories according to Treasury
direction.
The US Treasury requires the submission of quarterly reports and an annual evaluation performance
report in August of each year through March 2027. To meet the US Treasury evaluation requirement staff
has secured Florida Gulf Coast University as the evaluator to determine the effectiveness and benefit of
the proposed programs. The projects and expenditures will be continually monitored, and staff will
provide updates to the Board no less than annually.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding has been made available within the Community & Human Service Housing
Grant Fund (705) Project 33765. Staff will distribute funds for eligible expenditures in accordance with
Board-approved policy. Any expenses incurred by the County and associated with the administration of
this agreement, including requested full-time employees, will be accounted for, and are expected to be
16.D.7

fully reimbursable.
Collier County received its initial appropriation of $37,381,350.50 on June 10, 2021. The second 50%
appropriation will be released to the County within twelve (12) months of the initial allocation.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this
item.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved in form and legality and requires a majority vote
for approval. - JAB

GENERAL OVERVIEW
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The COVID-19 Pandemic has resulted in widespread public health and economic impacts experienced across
the nation. In Collier County, these impacts have been felt by individuals, families, local businesses as well as
government and nonprofit services. In r esponse to this nationwide crisis, the American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) was signed into law on March 11, 2021, which established the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery
Fund and Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. These funds build upon the first wave of support to state
and local governments established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act . While
the CARES Act was intended to respond to immediate impacts from the pandemic, ARPA funding is designed
to help communities turn the tide on the pandemic, address economic fallout and lay the foundation for a
strong, effective, efficient, and equitable long-term recovery. ARPA funds can be used to support broad range
of eligible expenses1 which are designed to:
▪ Support public health response,
▪ Address negative economic impacts,
▪ Replace public sector revenue loss,
▪ Provide premium pay for essential
workers, and
▪ Make improvements to water, sewer,
and broadband infrastructure.
Collier County will receive $74,762,701 in Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Funds (SLFRF) to address
local impacts. Understanding the wide array of needs throughout the community, Collier County leadership
has authorized spending on support for individual, food assistance, educational programming, mental health,
healthcare services, businesses, nonprofits, and affordable housing. It is the hope of leadership that every
resident can benefit from the investment of these funds while ensuring that the needs of the mos t vulnerable in
the community are targeted to promote an equitable recovery .
The Collier County Recovery Plan outlines the programs that will be implemented with these funds. As these
are long-term recovery funds, the County has approximately five years (December 31, 2026) to provide
services and complete projects. This plan will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Treasury, aligning
proposed programs with a classification system developed by Treasury for reporting on expenditures. The
County recognizes that pandemic recovery must be flexible to respond to shifting changes and needs in the
community and may make changes to program expenditures throughout the implementation period to address
1 U.S. Treasury. “Interim Final Rule”. 31 CFR Part 35
Collier County received over
$74 million in funding to
support long-term recovery
from the pandemic.
16.D.7.a
Packet Pg. 847 Attachment: Collier Recovery Plan Amendment 5 (21510 : ARP Performance Plan)
Collier County, Florida 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 6
the highest priority within the community. Collier County will measure the outputs and outcomes of projects
along the way and evaluate the successes of these initiatives.
To develop this plan, Collier County staff evaluated local data and worked with organizations throughout the
community to consider projects that fit the community’s needs. Collier County also conducted a public survey
that requested feedback on proposed expenditures and additional needs. The County received over 200
responses to this survey from residents, businesses, and nonprofits with over whelming support for the
programs identified. Nearly 99% of all respondents felt that the programs outlined would benefit Collier County
residents and over 94% of respondents felt that programs would benefit businesses.
Transparency is important to the leadership of Collier County. The Collier County Recovery Plan , along with
annual performance reports, will be posted on the Collier County website, enabling the public to monitor the
spending and progress of each program. This initial Recovery Plan covers t he period from the date of award to
July 31, 2021. Thereafter, the Recovery Plan will cover a 12 -month period and recipients will be required to
submit the report to Treasury within 30 days after the end of the 12 -month period (by July 31). The following
table provides dates for current and future installments:

Uses of Funds
In brief, Collier County will use funding for a broad array of eligible uses. The graphic below illustrates how
Collier County intends to spend the $74,762,701 received through the American Rescue Plan . These
programs are translated into their corresponding federal Expenditure Categories elsewhere in this plan.

Plan Format Key
The US Department of Treasury released a detailed chart of seven defined expenditure categories with a total
of 66 sub-categories to ensure that proposed expenditures are eligible activities. Treasury guidance directs
local governments to align each expenditure with a designated category. Collier County has identified projects
in six of the seven major Expenditure Categories – EC1-4, 6, and 7 (EC 5, Infrastructure, is not utilized). To
demonstrate the breadth of projects included in this plan along with the alignment with expenditure category,
this plan has been formatted to associate a color and icon with each of the six broad expenditure categories
that are included in this plan.
Continued interventions to support individuals and families, businesses, nonprofits, first responders, tourism,
education, mental health, and food security can mitigate the long-term effects of the pandemic while providing
a stable foundation for future growth and prosperity.
This plan identifies 19 projects in 16 Treasury-defined Expenditure Categories to receive funding over the five-
year horizon. However, due to the evolving nature of the pandemic and associated recovery, these categories
may shift over time to accommodate other federally allowed expenditure categories of funding. An overview of
County funding areas is provided by the graphic on the previous page. The use of funds will be covered in
detail in the following sections , classified by expenditure category.

Progress To-Date
The County is finalizing allocations through the writing of this plan. Upon submission in late August 2021,
software platforms will be developed to support applicant-based programs and manage sub-recipient
agreements and memorandums of understanding (MOUs), which will be the implementing arm for many
Recovery Plan projects. Platforms will also be developed to track and inform reporting on County -led
programs, such as housing assistance and small business recovery grants. Sub -recipient agreements will be
created during the fourth quarter of 2021, and implementation of projects is targeted for early 2022.
Since the submission of the initial Recovery Pl an in August 2021, Treasury released its SLFRF Final Rule. This
impacted the feasibility of Collier projects, which have been updated in January 2022 to streamline reporting
and ensure that the County is able to efficiently render services to residents and businesses as the community
works towards long -term recovery from the pandemic.
Challenges and Opportunities
The Collier County Recovery Plan represents new efforts, augmentation, and expansion of services to Collier
County. Given the amount of funding, finalizing the current set of projects and coordination and capacity
building among sub-recipients offered challenges and opportunities to explore new interventions united under
a common set of goals.
Additionally, Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Funds are new and guidance on implementation will likely
continue to be released by the US Department of Treasury over the next year. Collier County’s current plan
and allocation of programs among Expenditure Categories represents the County’s understanding of these
classifications, which may receive further definition and differentiation by the federal government. It is expected
that with new guidance released, the County may need to realign programs to better fit within Expenditure
Category definitions. Therefore, working to refine the local Expenditure Category – Project – Subaward system
is an ongoing process, and it is the County’s hope that Treasury will continue to make technical assistance
available to SLFRF recipients.
As anticipated, Final Rule guidance has impacted Collier County projects, which underwent an extensive
reconsideration and changes in light of the January 2022 release by Treasury. The County will continue to
monitor and respond to Treasury guidance by re -orienting and updating its Recovery Plan and projects.

USES OF FUNDS
In collaboration with partners and in parallel with other federal COVID -19 funding, Collier County has identified
a range of projects that further local pandemic response and recovery. Based on current data and community
outreach, projects within Expenditu re Categories 1-4 and 6-7 have been identified. Indicators influencing an
assessment of overall community and economic health, such as unemployment and household income are
discussed in the following section.
Unemployment and Income
According to Local Area Unemployment Statistics, Collier unemployment levels have largely stabilized since
the onset of the pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, Collier County unemployment was at an all -time low of 2.9
percent in December of 2019. The sudden rise in unemployment peaked in April of 2020 (14.3%), then
declined steadily over the next six months. By October of 2020, the unemployment rate was down to 4.4
percent and in December of 2020, unemployment was back to the pre-pandemic of the previous year (2.9%).
As of July of 2021, the unemployment rate is 4.4% which is slightly higher than the comparable pre-pandemic
rate of 3.8% (July of 2019). Collier County is hopeful that it will not experience another hike in unemployment
as leaders, businesses and residen ts have gained more knowledge over the past year with regards to the
pandemic. However, it is recognized that the uncertain course of the pandemic could cause additional volatility
in the future.

While the overall poverty rate in Collier County is comparatively low at 9.4% (Census), like many counties
there are pockets within the community where in it is more pervasive. Collier has eleven Qualified Census
Tracts (detailed in the “Promoting Equitable Outcomes” section) wherein 50% of households make less than
60% of the area median income and are eligible for low-income housing assistance. These communities,
including Immokalee, East Naples, Golden Gate, and others represent focus areas for COVID-19 treatment,
vaccination, other health assistance , household assistance, economic assistance, and beyond to strive for an
efficient, effective, and equitable recovery.

Other Federal Funds Currently in Use to Respond to COVID-19
Collier County has deployed federal response and recovery funds since mid -2020. Through its CARES
programs – amounting to $67.1 million, which are now fully exhausted - the County was able to prevent
further crises and achieve economic stabilization. This included individual assistance (CCAP) and business
assistance grants that have been re -tooled for inclusion in the current recovery plan (CC 1.1 and 2.2). A
review of five currently active federal recovery funds totaling $30.3 million is provided below for broader
context:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) CV [$2,744,274] - Annually, utilizing a formula
basis, Collier County is awarded grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). Collier County utilizes fifteen percent (15%) of its annual allotment of grant funding for public service
activities and the balance is utilized to support public activities related to a variety of infrastructure projects
(i.e., stormwater planning, sidewalks, new fire station, etc.). All funds must meet a National Objective – Low-
to-moderate Income, prevent or eliminate slum and blight or urgent community need. Specific projects
support legal service for businesses, senior center, health services.
HOME Investment Partnership (HOME)- ARP [$2,729,078] – Collier County is considered a
Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) for the HOME program. The funding received, is allocated utilizing a formula
designed to reflect relative housing need. These funds are utilized to implement local housing stra tegies that
enables Collier County to increase affordable housing opportunities for low and very low -income
families. Funding will support the acquisition of a transitional housing complex for persons who are homeless
or at risk of homelessness and may ha ve special needs.
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) CV [$3,183,770] – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, awards grants on a formula basis, to Collier County. These funds are utilized to provide
emergency assistance to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness so that they might quickly
regain stability in permanent housing. Funding will support rapid rehousing, case management, and shelter
operations.
Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) [$20,487,214] - Funds provided via the US Treasury to local
governments to assist with rental debt and evictions and the loss of basic housing security. COVID -19 has
exacerbated an affordable housing crisis that predated the pandemic and that has exacerbated deep disparities
that threaten the strength of an economic recovery that must work for everyone. To meet this need, the
Emergency Rental Assistance program makes funding available to assist households that are unable to pay
rent or utilities. Two separate programs have been established: ERA1 provides up to $11M under the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which was enacted on December 27, 2020, and ERA2 provides up to
$9M under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was enacted on March 11, 2021.
Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) [$1,200,000] - Community Health Workers

integrate the CHW function into care teams to support COVID-19 response efforts in communities hit hardest
and among populations that are at high risk for COVID -19 exposure, infection, and poor health outcomes.
Collier County will continue to monitor funds use and impacts across Recovery Plan projects and the above
programs to ensure that funds are utilized efficiently and effectively, without duplication.

PROMOTING EQUITABLE OUTCOMES
Collier County is committed to the “consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all
individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities.”3 through the development and
implementation of funding and projects outlined in this Recovery Plan. Equity has served as a guiding
principle for the development of the plan, influencing the goals identified, project design, geographic and
needs-based provision of services, and intended program outcomes. Collier County will continue to monitor
equitable outcomes throughout the funding horizon.
A key aspect of project development has been a focus on Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs) and
disproportionately disadvantaged residents. American Community Survey Data finds that of Collier County’s
population of 384,902, roughly 89.3% are white, 7.3% are black, 1.6% are Asian, and 28.6% are Hispanic.
73.3% of housing is owner -occupied, 85.2% of the population has access to broadband, the Median
household income is $76,415, and 9.4% of persons are in poverty4. While the poverty rate is comparatively
low countywide, areas of more concentrated poverty exist in East Naples, Immokalee, and in the Southwest
part of the County. Lower income communities in Collier also display higher social vulnerability scores, as
defined by the Center for Disease Control’s Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). Variables such as poverty, lack of
transportation access, and more crowded housing can figure into a higher SVI score, indicating that these
communities may face more challenges during recovery5. QCTs, distributions of household income, as well as
CDC’s social vulnerability, along with geography-specific projects, are shown in the following maps.
Qualified Census Tracts
A Qualified Census Tract (QCT) means, “any census tract which is designated by the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development and, for the most recent year for which census data are available on household income in
such tract, either in which 50 percent or more of the households have an income which is less than 60 percent
of the area median gross income for such year or which has a pover ty rate of at least 25 percent.”
There are 11 QCTs in Collier, including: 7.00, 104.10, 104.20, 106.01, 107.01, 111.03, 112.04, 112.05,
113.01, 113.02, and 114.006. Projects in this plan that focus on housing, food programs, education, and
health and wellness target disproportionately disadvantaged persons and QCTs. In addition, several location-
based programs and services have been identified in the plan as predominately serving QCTs.
Many of the projects serve equitable ends (based on higher need), through a county -wide approach. However,
projects CC4.1-4.4 target disproportionately impacted beneficiary populations . These Library, Museum,

Median Household Income
Median Household Income in Collier County ranges from around $30,000 per year to above $100,000. The
map below displays median household income by census tract. Areas shaded in dark red indicate a higher
concentration of low-income households . The largest area of concentrated poverty is located in Northern
Collier County, comprising the tracts around Immokalee. Golden Gate, East Naples, and South along US -41
toward Naples Manor also contain tracts with modest median household incomes. Several of these areas are
served by ARP projects herein.
Social Vulnerability
Social vulnerability refers to the resilience of communities when confronted by external stresses on human
health, such as natural or human-caused disasters or disease outbreaks. The CDC's Social Vulnerability Index
(SVI) uses 15 U.S. census variables at census tract level to identify communities that may need a higher level
of support when recovering from a stressor event. In the map below, darker blue areas indicate higher social
vulnerability. Immokalee, East Naples, Golden Gate, and Naples Manor all show a confluence of factors that
can affect access to resources and vulnerability to disasters. These areas are mostly congruous with the HUD-
identified Qualified Census Tracts and are served by ARP Recovery Plan projects.

Equitable Outcome Goals
Collier County Recovery Plan projects will target Qualified Census Tracts and disproportionately impacted
groups – namely lower income populations that are at risk of eviction or foreclosure, populations with health
comorbidities that can exacerbate COVID-19 impacts, and those impacted by loss of in-person school
instruction due to the pandemic. Food assistance, education, medical services, and public health activities are
targeted to populations where low income is endemic, unemployment is higher than the county average,
access to education continues to pose challenges, and co -morbidities to respiratory health continue to
exacerbate health outcomes. The following goals have been identified, aligning with funding areas prioritized
by the County.
Public Health Goal (EC-1)
Target residents in QCTs for access to personal protective equipment and other public health services.
Negative Economic Impacts (EC-2)
Target residents in QCTs for access to Food Programs, Rent, Mortgage, and Utility Aid, and Other Economic
Support.
Services to Disproportionately Impacted Communities (EC-3)
Target residents in QCTs for access to Early Learning, Other Educational Assistance, Housing and Community
Health intervention programs.
16.D.7.a

Collier County, Florida 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 24
Awareness
Awareness of projects and services funded will be high, given the entities delivering new food, rent, mortgage,
mental health services, education, and health services are trusted and established. With partners such as the
Collier County Community Foundation, Collier County Libraries, and County Communications, awareness of
programs will be transmitted to disadvantaged populations currently served by other funding and programs,
and via a host of social media options, including email and Facebook notifications.
Access and Distribution
The distribution of these programs, and access to them, will predominantly serve low- and moderate-income
individuals and families as well as disproportionately disadvantaged populations and groups. Whether through
implementation within QCTs or based on identified pandemic impacts to Treasury-identified presumed-eligible
beneficiary populations, these programs will address disparities such as wealth and education that exacerbated
pandemic impacts.
Outcomes
Given the above goals, awareness, and distribution of projects, intended outcomes are to address hardships
that were unevenly shared during the pandemic. Predominantly lower income persons with l ess food security,
lower access to public health services, and early education will be the recipients, which is aimed at closing
gaps in health, food security, and education.
Many of the outcomes described above under Key Outcome Goals recognize that residents who have
experienced disparities leading to lower income, healthcare, and education are the focus populations of most
project interventions. Projects CC 1.1-1.6 (Rental Assistance, Mental Health, Housing, and Public Health
Services, Food Security, and Housing Navigators), and CC 4.1-4.4 (Education, Food Assistance, and
Affordable Housing) were designed to serve residents of historically underserved, QCT, and/or
disproportionately disadvantaged communities. Specifically, outputs and outcomes of selected equity -focused

Measuring Equity
Assessing the location and extent of underserved populations within this plan has occurred through
identification of Qualified Census Tracts, Household Income by Census Tract, and Tract -based Social
Vulnerability Index scores. From this, projects have been tailored to serve as many of these areas as possible.
Project CC 3.6, Evaluation and Data Analysis, subrecipient agreements, and memorandums of understanding
will further define equity -responsive KPIs.
Future annual reports will provide qualitative and qu antitative updates, coordinated through project CC 3.6,
Evaluation and Data Analysis, on how projects and approaches have achieved or promoted equitable outcomes
or goals. The “Evidence Base and Impact Evaluation” Team will coordinate with sub-recipients to further build
out KPIs and identify service distribution to low income and disproportionately disadvantaged communities .
The County may work with the Evaluation Team to elaborate existing Key Outcome and Equity Goals and
identify programmatic changes based on data gathered during the project horizon.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Collier County developed this Recovery Plan with significant input from partners and the public. The
Community Engagement process began with partner/expert project creation. Proposal worksheets were
developed and sent to partners across government and nonprofit sectors, including libraries, museums, and
University Extension offices. The proposals developed by partner organizations supported public health
response, economic impact responses, and services to disproportionately impacted communities. The initial
set of ideas were vetted through the County Commission . Subsequently, a public survey was disseminated to
determine if the programs proposed in the Recovery Plan would support the needs of the community, and final
tweaks were then made. The figure below shows the steps followed in the Collier County engagement process.
At the partner/expert phase Collier County staff met with the Communi ty Foundation of Collier County, The
Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, Collier County Health Department, and the Community Mental Health
Agency. These meetings, conducted in mid-2021, gave rise to the initial projects which were reviewed by the
Commission.
Collier County developed its first plan proposal in late Spring, which was shared with the public through its
County Commission meeting schedule and noticing protocols. The plan was discussed by the Commission,

was made available for public comment, and a draft final version was approved at the June 22, 2021, Board of
County Commissioners Board Meeting7.
To help raise awareness toward building the final Recovery Plan, a public input survey , website, and a one-
page summary were crafted and deployed. The one-page summary and associated social media post ings were
duplicated in Spanish to disseminate information to the significant Hispanic population living within Collier
County. Email outreach was sent to over 1,000 recipients through County and Community Foundation
channels and highlighted in Collier County Facebook posts. The below figure shows the distribution of
stakeholders who were asked to provide feedback.
The survey, open from August 13, 2021, through August 20, 2021, received 206 responses. Residents,
businesses, non-profits, and others provided answers, and feedback was positive. The following graphics
present summary statistics and other highlights from the survey.

204 respondents provided an answer to their identity for the purpose of the survey. 136 respondents replied
as residents, 5 as businesses, 57 as non -profits, and 6 as “other”. The following two graphics explore
respondents’ perception of proposed program benefits to residents and businesses.
The vast majority – 98.5% - felt that the Collier programs presented by the website and 1 -pager could be of
benefit to Collier County residents. 133 of the 136 Resident respondents answered that programs and services
would benefit people in the County.
16.D.7.a
Packet Pg. 875 Attachment: Collier Recovery Plan Amendment 5 (21510 : ARP Performance Plan)
Collier County, Florida 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 34
A strong majority of respondents also felt that the programs depicted by the website and one-page outreach
could be of benefit to Collier County businesses – 94.2%. Of note, all five business respondents answered
“Yes”, that the projects depicted (including business recovery and resilience grants) would be of bene fit to area
businesses. 54 of the 57 non-profit respondents also found that the projects would benefit businesses.
In addition to general perception of the programs, respondents were invited to give open -ended input on
public health, economic assistance, c ommunity services, essential workers, and infrastructure project
preferences. Many of the responses reflect variations on projects as described within the plan, highlighting the
importance of mental health and grief services (mentioned over 50 times), food assistance (35 mentions),
services to children including education (31 mentions) and childcare (21 mentions), broadband access (22
mentions), training (20 mentions), and additional healthcare (17 mentions).
From the community response, it is likely that projects will meet with high demand. Given the commitment to
monitoring and evaluation during the plan horizon, evaluators can return to survey responses for
complementary programs should the need arise.
Buil ding Capacity of Community Organizations
Implementation of Collier County projects will add capacity to local community organizations providing
services to communities of color, low incomes, and limited English proficiency. This includes Collier Libraries
in QCTs, Collier Museums in QCTs, and University and non-profit partners directly serving these areas.
Engagement will continue beyond plan creation, through implementation, and represent a hallmark of Collier
ARP funding.
Next Steps
Collier County Communications will push messaging and information out to the full community. The County
Communications and Customer Relations Division is committed to providing accurate, timely and useful
information through a multimedia approach. This can include the County website, social media, government
access television, printed publications, news releases, and public education and outreach. A full Spanish
language complement is provided, and communications will be released during the ARP funding horizon
(through 2026) in both English and Spanish.

LABOR PRACTICES
Collier County utilizes strong labor standards to promote effective and efficient delivery of projects while also
supporting economic recovery through strong employment opportunities.
The Board of County Commissioners has set a tone for inclusive, competitive labor practices for all employees
and contractors. The following paragraphs discuss Collier Human Resources policies and Procurement
Services Division values that enable fair labor practices.
It is the continuing policy of Collier County Board of County Commissioners to ensure that all Human
Resources policies and practices are administered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national
origin, physical or mental handicap, or marital status.8 All Human Resources practices, including
compensation, benefits, discipline, safety, as well as social and recreational activities are administered and
conducted in compliance with State and Federal law. All recruitment, selection, placement, promotion, tr ansfer,
training, and reduction in force decisions are based solely on the candidates'/employees' job -related
qualifications and abilities. Outreach programs may be utilized to recruit, hire, and ensure advancement of
qualified minority group members, wome n, disabled individuals, and veterans.
Collier County Government takes steps as necessary to ensure that the work environment is free of unlawful
discrimination or harassment. On an annual basis, the County reviews its Human Resources procedures and
strives to ensure that its supervisors and managers adhere to its commitment to Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO) principles.
Collier County Government encourages employees who have EEO -related questions, comments, or complaints
to discuss them with their sup ervisor, department director, administrator, or a representative from the Human
Resources department. Employees are also encouraged to utilize the Commitment to Fair Treatment
Procedure. Additionally, Collier County Government refers applicants and employe es to the Florida
Commission on Human Relations (FCHR), established in 1969 with the intent of protection against unlawful
discrimination. The FCHR assists in claims of wrongdoing, including discrimination, and provides a means for
effectively resolving problems should they arise9.
In 2020, Collier County Procurement Services Division was awarded the National Procurement Institute’s 25th
Annual Achievement of Excellence in Procurement, which recognizes procurement organizations that embrace
innovation, professionalism, productivity, leadership, and e-Procurement. The National Procurement Institute
encourages the development of excellence and continued organizational improvement in public and non -profit

USE OF EVIDENCE
For Collier County projects falling within the categories of Public Health (EC 1), Negative Economic Impacts
(EC 2), and Services to Disproportionately Impacted Communities (EC 3), the County is committed to
identifying how funds are being used for evidence-based interventions, and where applicable, how project
impacts can be evaluated in a way that builds evidence. In addition to evidence presented here and by
subrecipients, project CC 3.5 will bring in the services of an Evidence Base and Impact Evaluation team to
coordinate activities in these areas.
The treasury defines evidence-based projects as “interventions with strong or moderate evidence”:
• Strong evidence means the evidence base that can support causal conclusions for the specific
program proposed by the applicant with the highest level of confidence, as backed by one or more
well-designed and well-implemented experimental study conducted on the proposed program with
positive findings on one or more intended outcomes.
• Moderate evidence means that there is a reasonably developed evidence base that can supp ort causal
conclusions. It consists of one or more quasi -experimental studies with positive findings on one or
more intended outcomes or two or more non -experimental studies with positive findings on one or
more intended outcomes.11
The following Collier County projects under EC 1, 2, and 3 will strive to include evidence-based findings to
justify program activities:

Students, especially those with disabilities benefit
from using gardens to enhance science
instruction because students participate in the
planting, observing, and measuring of plants as
they grow. This can allow students to investigate
soil, understand the concept of weathering and
provides experiential, hands-on learning
opportunities.

Funding
Amount $7,000,000
Project
Expenditure
Category
EC 2.2 – Household Assistance: Rent,
Mortgage, and Utility Aid
Project
Overview
Collier County will implement direct grant assistance to individuals and families in the form of
rent, mortgage, and utility assistance. The rental program will be available to individuals with
income of 0% to 140% AMI, and the mortgage program will serve households up to 140%
AMI, targeting residents in QCTs and those at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level .
The program will provide a maximum of $25,000. Project application portal and rules and
procedures will be developed, and the grant program will open shortly thereafter.
The primary delivery mechanism will be through online applications, and the County will
partner with all housing assistance and marketing entities for messaging. The intended
outcome is to assist rental households and owner -occupied households to avoid eviction,
foreclosure, and potentially homelessness.
Goals &
Use of
Evidence
The goal of Collier County’s Mortgage and Rent project is to prevent an increase of
individuals and families in poverty as exacerbated by COVID-19. While COVID-19 presented
a new stressor to housing stability, rental and mortgage assistance programs acting via a
cash transfer, are long established mechanisms for preventing loss of housing . The efficacy
of state and local rental assistance programs during COVID-19 was provided by The National
Low Income Housing Coalition, found at this link: Web Link.
The County intends to work with an Evidence Base and Impact Evaluation Team (CC3.5) to
determine feasible evidence -based project expenditure amounts and other KPIs and
evaluation techniques.

literacy and improved educational outcomes of local students.
A COLE coordinator will serve at each branch, overseeing community outreach, homework &
tutoring for ESOL students, and teen life skills programs. Funding will purchase an online
tutoring program such as BrainFuse. Since no/limited access or slow internet connections in
rural areas can contribute to students falling behind academically and accessing the online
educational remedial services used for tutoring (i.e., BrainFuse), the library will purchase
remote Wi-Fi hotspots (e.g., Verizon jetpacks) that students can check -out for 12 weeks to
use at home to access remedial educational programs to support reading comprehension and
fluency.
To support face-to-face tutoring through the COLE program, additional visual, print and audio
materials will be purchased to support instruction during the session and for students to
check out to practice reading comprehension and fluency skills at home.
The project will be implemented through a memorandum of understanding with Collier
County Library. Outcomes include i ncreased reading comprehension and fluency.

closures due to COVID-19. The evidence base has been gathered and is maintained by FGCU
Impact and Evaluation Team; available upon request.
Collier County Museums will implement these services. An impact evaluation may be
conducted through student pre-test, post-test measures.
This project involves collaboration with an Evidence Base and Impact Evaluation Team
(CC3.5) to evaluate evidence-based project expenditure amounts, KPIs and evaluation
techniques.

EC 3.10 Housing Support: Affordable Housing
Project
Overview
This project involves collaboration between Collier County Division of Community and
Human Services (CHS) and local developer s of affordable housing to construct affordable
housing. Housing prices in Collier County have been exacerbated due to the pandemic,
increasing the housing insecurity of lower income residents. At least one development will
focus on Low Income Housing Tax Credit eligible households, which mirrors Home
Investment Partnership Program eligible households. Thus, the population served will be a
Treasury presumed -impacted population, and the project is a Treasury presumed -eligible
project.
This project will be implemented by Collier County CHS in partnership through one or more
subrecipient agreements with local private affordable housing developers. At least one of the
proposed projects has had a substantial amount of preparation and permitting work done,
which will facilitate its timely delivery to households at need. It is to be located at 4650 Santa
Barbara Boulevard, Naples, FL 34104. Other projects will be identified and more information
provided as the project continues toward 2024.
Goals &
Use of
Evidence
The goal for this program is to provide development assistance for affordable housing which
serves Collier County impacted households.
Evidence supporting affordable housing interventions has been gathered by FGCU and can
be provided upon request.

PERFORMANCE REPORT
COLLIER KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), in addition to those mandated by the Treasury, reflect individuals, families,
and businesses served, with an emphasis on outcomes that increase access, decrease negative health
outcomes, and evaluate the efficiency, efficacy, and equity.
For the August 31, 2021, Recovery Plan, Key Performance Indicators – i.e., outputs and outcomes – have
been defined broadly in response to current project definition. As sub-recipient agreements and
MOUs are composed during late 2021, outputs and outcomes may shift to reflect
the implementing organization’s specific logic model.
From the Collier County inventory of projects, the following KPIs have been developed by expenditure

Mandatory Performance Indicators (Federally Required)
a. Household Assistance (EC 2.2 & 2.5) and Housing Support (EC 3.10 -3.12):
• Number of people or households receiving eviction prevention services (including legal
representation)
• Number of affordable housing units preserved or developed
Collier County is pursuing projects in household assistance through its rental and mortgage assistance program and will
thus collect information about people and households receiving eviction prevention services. Additionally, CC 4.4,
Collier County Affordable Housing, will report on number of affordable housing units preserved or developed .
b. Negative Economic Impacts (EC 2):
• Number of workers enrolled in sectoral job training programs
• Number of workers completing sectoral job training programs
• Number of people participating in summer youth employment programs
Collier County’s assistance for negative economic impacts includes grants to businesses, tourism marketing, and
business resilience counseling, technical services, and technology upgrade funding. While the projects are intended to
positively benefit workers, sectoral job training programs are not a current ARP funded project; thus, data thereon is not
going to be captured. Project CC 4.4 University Extension, Reaching More, may engage youth through its 4-H programs,
however it is not a summer youth employment program; thus, data thereon is not going to be captured.
c. Education Assistance (EC 3.1-3.5):
• Number of students participating in evidence-based tutoring programs
Collier County projects CC 4.1 and 4.3 target Education Services to high poverty districts, and to the extent that activities
within each project consist of tutoring services, data will be collected on students participating therein.
d. Healthy Childhood Environments (EC 3.6-3.9):
• Number of children served by childcare and early learning (pre -school/pre-K/ages 3- 5)
• Number of families served by home visiting
Collier County is pursuing family services through its project CC 1.2, however specific activities will come to be defined
through sub-recipient agreements generated in 2022. Additionally, project CC 4.3 will collect data on early learning as
applicable. Should sub-recipient projects emerge that included childcare or home visits, data will be collected thereon,
however at this time no such project has been defined.

SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS
This plan represents the first phase in a multi -year process of reporting and plan implementation. Through it,
Collier County has created a roadmap for utilizing the $74,762,701 awarded by the Treasury to spur recovery
in an efficient, effective, and equitable fashion.
As mentioned in the Executive Summary, six more iterations of this plan – delivered as an Annual Report – will
be created between August 31, 2021, and March 31, 2027. Per Treasury Guidance for States, U.S. territories,
metropolitan cities and counties with populations exceeding 250,000 residents, Collier County will also be
required to submit a one-time Interim Report on August 31, 2021, and a Project and Expenditure Reports
starting October 31, 2021, and then on a quarterly basis until 2027.
Given that the COVID-19 pandemic brought about an unprecedented leap – and precipitous drop – in Collier
County unemployment, it is likely that recovery needs will evolve over the five-year project horizon.
Additionally, as the County collaborates with implementation partners, projects and KPIs will be further defined
to best express organizational capacities and the needs of populations served. As such, Expenditure
Categories, Projects, KPIs, and Outcomes are likely to continue to change in the
months and years to come, which this plan has emphasized throughout. As
recommended in Treasury Guidance, the County will notify Treasury of substantial updates to the plan in
months and years to come.
At this point, next steps will consist of finalizing subrecipient agreements and memorandums of understanding
with all implementation par tners. The County will also work with administration partners to build out the
software data capture, project management, and reporting systems that underpin successful project
deployment. Staff will work to create policies and procedures for County grant and assistance programs,
targeting those disproportionately disadvantaged by the pandemic. An evaluation team will also begin “deep
dive” activities to define impact evaluation and additional evidence bases where needed.
Plan Amendments
Recognizing that Expenditure Category uses and Projects will evolve over time, amendments to the plan are
anticipated. Amendments can be processed on a continual basis throughout the year and will be shown on an
Amendment Log at the beginning of the document. The Amendment Log will note amendment number, date,
content of amendment, level of approval that has approved the content, and affected pages.
All plan amendments will be routed to the County Manager for approval. For amendments involving re-
allocations of over $50,000, recommendation to accept updates via memorandum or agenda material will be
provided to the Board.
All amendments will be carried out in accordance with existing Collier County Grants and Procurement policies
and procedures.
