OBJECTIVE: To comply with the requirements of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant
programs.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County became an entitlement community and first received Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in 2001, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) entitlement funds in
2003, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) entitlement funds in 2004, Community Development Block Grant-CV
(CDBG-CV) entitlement funds in 2020, Emergency Solutions Grant-CV (ESG-CV) entitlement funds in 2020 and
HOME Investment Partnership-ARP (HOME-ARP) entitlement funds in 2021.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires all entitlement communities to prepare
a CAPER to evaluate the recipient’s compliance with federal statutes and the organization’s capacity to
implement and administer the federally funded programs. The CAPER provides a review of the progress made
toward meeting overall goals and objectives identified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (2021-2025) and the
One-Year Action Plan (2021-2022).
The completed CAPER must be received by HUD no later than ninety (90) days after the end of the program year.
This year the CAPER is due to HUD no later than December 28, 2022.
The CAPER was made available for public review and comment during the required fifteen -day comment period
(November 25 to December 9, 2022). The draft report was available at all public libraries, the Community and
Human Services (CHS) webpage on the County’s webpage, the CHS office, and the Communications and
Customer Relations Division office. Due to the size of the CAPER, the document is not included as an attachment
but is provided as a web link.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a)
This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.
Collier County is an entitlement jurisdiction receiving annual entitlement grant funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). In PY 2021, the County was allocated $2,744,274 in CDBG, $753,000 in HOME, and $217,796 in ESG entitlement funds. These funds help
the County address the housing and community development objectives outlined by HUD, which include: affirmatively furthering fair housing,
affordable housing, homelessness prevention, public facilities and infrastructure improvements, and vital services for low- to moderate-income
(LMI) and special needs populations. The County was able to successfully accomplish many goals to address the needs identified in the plan and
these are highlighted below:
Public Improvements: The County made public facility improvements that benefitted 54,267 persons living in low/mod areas. These include
facilities improvements at the Golden Gate Senior Center, Legal Aid facility, Esperanza Community Center, the Immokalee Fire Station and security
improvements at the Shelter for Abused Women and Children. Public infrastructure improvements were also made that benefitted 8,210 persons
living in low/mod areas. These activities included water/sewer improvements with the Bayshore CRA Fire Suppression project, installation of
crosswalks and street lighting in the City of Naples, and sidewalk improvements at Peters Ave.
Public Services: In PY 2021 the County funded public services that benefitted a total of 630 LMI individuals. Transportation services offered by
Sunrise Free to Be Me assisted persons with a disability. Legal services were provided to victims of domestic violence and other abuses. Housing
counseling for LMI households was provided by HELP. CDBG-CV funds went to support the ongoing efforts of case management healthcare services
to help vulnerable patients with chronic conditions to minimize the severity of COVID-19 or help to prevent contracting the virus. The County also
funded the Immokalee Fire Control District to help with COVID protection actions, and this activity had a low/mod benefit for an estimated 36,775
persons.
Affordable Housing: For the HOME affordable housing program the County completed 11 affordable rental rehab units at the Oak Marsh Rental
Rehab project, which assisted LMI households. HOME activities are reported in the CAPER when they are completed, and there are several housing
activities that are still ongoing. There were also 69 LMI renter households assisted at the Collier County Housing Authority’s (CCHA) rental housing
HVAC rehab activity through the CDBG program. HVAC improvement at rental units owned by the CCHA helped to increase the energy efficiency
of these units. Another 2 LMI renter households were assisted through the acquisition of units for the purpose of adding to the affordable housing
stock of the CCHA.

Narrative
DATA NOTE: Due to the limitations of the IDIS system’s reporting table, “other multi-racial” households
were not included in the race table above as there wasn’t an input row to enter this race group. Also, the
County had activities such as public facility and infrastructure improvements that had a benefit for
residents living in low/mod areas in the County, and were not captured in the table reported
above. Further, for ESG there were actually 547 persons assisted (543 shelter and 4 rapid rehousing), but
as there is no line for “other or multiple races” in IDIS, 42 persons were not included in the table
above. Also, for ESG, there were 125 individuals and families who refused/did not know the answer
during intake. The table above only represents activities that were able to collect race/ethnicity data,
therefore the numbers will not equal total persons served reported in this CAPER.
Assistance by Racial and Ethnic Composition
According to the most recent 2016-2020 ACS, the majority of the County’s residents identify racially as
white with 84.5%, and with minority races being 6.8% black, 1.5% Asian, and all other minority race groups
with less than 1% combined. Individuals who identified as “some other” race were 1.9% and “two or
more” races were 5.2%. Ethnically, 28.0% of the population in Collier County identified as Hispanic.
CDBG: Please note that due to the IDIS table limitation, there was not a category for other multi-racial.
As reported by race, the table above has a total of 1,539 persons assisted, however the actual total of
persons assisted is 1,668 as there were 129 other multi-racial persons assisted. The following accounts
for all persons assisted in the CDBG program. Approximately 17.7% of CDBG funding went towards
assisting Black or African Americans and 1.3% went towards Asians. Persons who were “Other multi-
racial” was approximately 7.7% of all persons assisted in the CDBG program. About 68.3% of CDBG funding
went towards assisting Hispanic persons.

or “multiple races” as well as persons who reported they did not know, or data was not collected. For
persons assisted with ESG by race, 56.5% were white, 12.2% were black or African American, 0.5% was
Asian and 7.7% were “Other multiracial” (42 persons). There were 125 persons who did not
know/refused, or data could not be collected. By ethnicity, 33.6% were Hispanic, 41.9% were non-
Hispanic and the remaining 24.5% didn’t know/refused or data could not be collected.
Housing Needs Assessment
The Needs Assessment in the 2016-2020 Consolidated Plan, assesses if any race and ethnic group by
income category has a disproportionate need as compared with the general population in the area with
regards to housing problems, severe housing problems and housing cost burden. Households with housing
problems are those that reside in units lacking complete kitchen and plumbing facilities as well as
overcrowding (more than one person per room) and cost burden (spending 30% or more of income on
housing per month). Households with severe housing problems are those that reside in units lacking
complete kitchen and plumbing facilities as well as severely overcrowded homes (more than 1.5 person
per room) and severe cost burden (spending 50% or more of income on housing per month).
Housing Problems (NA-15): According to the Needs Assessment, minority race group households that have
a disproportionate need in housing problems are none at 0%-30% AMI; Black and African American, Asian
and American Indians/Alaska Natives at 30%-50% AMI; Asians and American Indians/Alaska Natives at
50%-80% AMI; and Pacific Islanders at 80%-100% of AMI.
Severe Housing Problems (NA-20): Minority race group households that have a disproportionate need in
severe housing problems are Black and African Americans, Asians and Hispanics at 0-30% AMI; American
Indians/Alaska Natives at 30%-50%; Black and African Americans and Asians at 50%-80% AMI; and Asians
and Pacific Islanders at 80%-100% AMI.
Housing Cost Burden (NA-25): For housing cost burden, Black and African American and Hispanic
households have a disproportionate need with housing cost burden.
Reporting by race, the HOME program assisted 11 households and 9 were white and two were black. By
ethnicity, 9 of the households were Hispanic while the two remaining households were non-Hispanic. The
CDBG renter rehab programs assisted a total 71 renter households and 1 was white, 18 were black and 52
were “other”. By ethnicity, 53 of the households were Hispanic while 18 were non-Hispanic. In comparing

funding was created to assist individuals or households who are experiencing homelessness, at risk of
homelessness, and other vulnerable populations, by providing affordable housing, rental assistance,
supportive services, and non-congregate shelter, to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability.
The County’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan defines and identifies the use of eligible HOME-ARP grant funds
to address these needs, which the County has identified in Collier County as supportive services, the
acquisition and development of non-congregate shelters, nonprofit capacity building and admin and

Narrative
The County’s CDBG, HOME and ESG funds went to benefit residents Countywide. In general, the County
targets resources in low/mod income census block groups to meet regulatory requirements for CDBG
grant funds and to target areas with the highest level of need. Maps provided in the Strategic Plan of the
Consolidated Plan (SP-10) show Collier County block groups where 51% or more of the population have
incomes at or below 80% of the area median income. These areas are considered “target areas” for use
of HUD grant funds for area improvements, such as public infrastructure or facility improvements.
HUD funds may also be spent outside of these targeted areas, as long as they provide services,
improvements, affordable housing, or other benefits for LMI households or special needs populations.
In summary, the low/mod income block groups identified in the Strategic Plan will generally be prioritized
for allocation of grant resources, however, individual LMI persons residing anywhere in Collier County
may be eligible beneficiaries of CDBG funds based on grant program eligibility criteria.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
CDBG and HOME funds were used as gap financing, which allowed other funds to be leveraged through
CHS participation. Federal funds also help the County to leverage State Housing Initiative Partnership
(SHIP) funding of approximately $3,000,000 which is used for a wide range of rental housing and
homeownership assistance.
CDBG funds awarded to public service providers help to leverage additional public and/or private funding
streams that provide a variety of services. For example, several nonprofits receive state funds through the
Dept of Children & Families to support CDBG-funded programs. In recent years, subrecipients also had
large private donors who made cash donations.
Publicly Owned Land or Property Used to Address the Plan
Collier County maintains an inventory of County-owned surplus land through its Real Property Division.
Locally, the disposition of surplus land is governed by Resolution 2007-172 and Resolution 2010-123,
which direct the County to sell the land and use the proceeds to increase financial resources set-aside for
affordable housing.
In October 2017, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) accepted a newly developed
Community Housing Plan which identified a wide range of housing needs in the community and multiple
housing strategies to address housing affordability issues. As part of that plan, an inventory and
assessment was completed of all county-owned property to determine appropriateness for public uses,
including the provision of affordable housing. The result of the process identified the Bembridge site as
suitable for affordable housing. McDowell Housing Partners was selected to develop the site to include
82 affordable rental units. The Developer closed financing for the project, The Harmony, mid-Dec 2021
with construction commencing shortly thereafter with anticipated construction completion within 14
months. Another project, the development of a portion of the location of the former Golden Gate Golf
course, will result in a two phase development of 350 units of housing. First phase of 250 units for Essential
Services Personnel is scheduled to break down in the 4th Quarter of 2022 and will target income
households earning between 60 and 140% of AMI with rents restricted at 100% of AMI (adjusted by
number of bedrooms) and below.
In addition, the BOCC recently adopted Resolution 2018-39, which encourages the co-location of housing
and public facilities when the County acquires future property.

HOME Match Requirement
Per HOME regulations, HOME grant recipients are required to provide a 25% match from nonfederal funds
as a permanent contribution to affordable housing activities, however in PY 2021, according to the PR33
HOME Match Liability Report, the County has a 100% match reduction for COVID-19, and the HOME match
liability is zero. The County keeps a record of match contributions every year. See the following table
below for details of the HOME match and HOME match contributions.
ESG Match Requirement
As per ESG regulations, ESG grant recipients are required to make matching contributions in the amount
equal or more than the PY ESG grant allocation - or a 100% match. This amount may include contributions
to any project under the recipient's ESG program, including any subrecipient's ESG project, if applicable
requirements are met as per 24 CFR 576.201. The PY 2021 ESG grant allocation for Collier County was
$217,796 and this amount was completely matched from local government funds and other private funds
through subrecipients. ESG is now reported in the annual ESG Sage report.

In PY 2021, non-homeless housing needs were addressed through the CDBG and HOME programs. The
HOME program assisted for 11 LMI renter households with new affordable rental housing units completed
at the Oak Marsh development project. There are currently over 80 LMI households being served with
TBRA through the Collier County Housing Authority, however HOME activities are only reported when
they are completed. Another HOME activity that is currently open and in progress is the new Habitat for
Humanity Whippoorwill Multifamily Housing Development when completed will provide for 52 new
affordable units. The completion of these projects will help to satisfy the established goals in the plan.
The CDBG program assisted a total of 71 LMI households with rental rehab and acquisition activities.
There were 69 LMI renter households assisted at the Collier County Housing Authority’s (CCHA) rental
housing HVAC rehab activity. HVAC improvement at rental units owned by the CCHA would increase the

energy efficiency of these units. There were another 2 LMI renter households assisted through the
acquisition of units for the purpose of adding to the affordable housing stock of the CCHA.
Homeless households are served by the ESG program. There were 4 homeless households assisted with
rapid rehousing rental assistance, which helped them to avoiding becoming homeless again.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
The need for affordable housing was a common theme heard during the Consolidated Plan development
process. The greatest need for renters is affordable housing for the elderly, frail elderly, disabled persons,
and veterans which can come in the form of financial assistance such as TBRA. For potential LMI
homebuyers, there is a need to support homeownership opportunities through down payment or closing
cost assistance. Both LMI renter and owner households need support for development of affordable
housing, including projects located near job centers that will be affordable to service employees and other
low-wage members of the workforce.
Housing for people who are homeless and homelessness prevention was also identified as a priority
need. Assistance can come in the form of short-term to medium-term rental payment assistance,
otherwise known as rapid rehousing rental assistance. This activity will continue to be funded and the
current goal outcomes will remain in future annual action plans. ESG funding is also provided for both
individuals and families at-risk of or experiencing homelessness and in need of rental housing assistance.
Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons
served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine
the eligibility of the activity.

and the breakdown of the households by income category were 23 extremely low-income, 45 low-income
and 1 moderate income household. The CCHA also acquired two rental units that benefitted 2 extremely
low-income households.

The table above only reports on households assisted with affordable housing through the HOME
program. Through the HOME program, there were 11 LMI households assisted with the new Oak Marsh
affordable rental housing development. Reporting by income, all the households assisted were 11 low-
income households. The HOME TBRA program is currently ongoing, and the County anticipates it will
report an additional 80 LMI households assisted in an upcoming report. HOME only reports
accomplishments once an activity has been marked completed in HUD’s IDIS reporting system.
Worst Case Needs
Those with worst case needs are individuals or households at-risk of or experiencing homelessness,
extremely low-income renters and vulnerable populations such as the elderly and persons with a disability
that are at risk of homelessness. In the program year, the County reported 25 extremely low-income
households assisted (0-30% AMI) through the CDBG program with housing rehab and the acquisition of
new rental housing units.
Extremely low-income renter households are at imminent risk of homelessness as they lack the funds to
maintain housing during emergency and times of crisis. According to the Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data reported in the County’s 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan needs
assessment, there are approximately 3,180 extremely low-income renters (0-30% AMI) in Collier County
that are also severely cost burdened (households paying 50% of income towards housing costs). To
address this need, the County will continue to direct funds towards affordable rental housing
opportunities such as TBRA and new affordable rental unit developments.
To target special needs groups such as the elderly and persons with disabilities, specific activities taken
include SHIP funds that were provided to ROOF in PY 2021 for special needs housing assistance ROOF also
administered a TBRA program for their special needs clients in the program year. NAMI (National Alliance
for the Mentally Ill) was another organization that administered TBRA for LMI households at-risk of
homelessness. CASL (Community Assisted and Supported Living, Inc.) was provide SHIP PY2021 funding
to provide permanent supportive housing to persons with severe and persistent mental illness, many of
whom are homeless or are at risk of homelessness. Through these rental assistance programs, the County
and its partners were able to assist households at-risk of homelessness with affordable housing.
Middle-Income Persons (Non-LMI)

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Collier County participates in and works closely with the Hunger and Homeless Coalition (HHC), the lead
agency of the Continuum of Care (CoC). A primary means by which the County reaches out to homeless
persons, identifies individual needs, and understands the landscape of homelessness in the region, is
through efficient data collection and analysis through the HMIS system. In PY 2021, the County expended
$50,836 in ESG funds to support HMIS data collection and reporting activities. These activities help to
support operations and ensure accurate tracking and reporting of the homeless population in Collier
County.
The County also reaches out to homeless persons and to assess their needs through the annual Point-in-
Time (PIT) count. The PIT count is a survey of the homeless on a given night in January and provides a
snapshot of who experiences homelessness throughout the year. The participation of the County and CoC
member agencies helps with the assessment and planning concerning effective homeless services in the
area. The 2022 PIT Count reported there were a total of 462 person experiencing homeless in Collier
County on the night of the Count, of which 305 were sheltered and 157 were unsheltered.
Another means of outreach is the Collier 211 Information and Referral Service system. The County
ensures that the 211 system-database is updated periodically with County resources. The 211 system
helps the County to provide outreach and refer individuals to the appropriate service providers to meet
their needs free of charge. Collier 211 is also confidential, open 24 hours, and accessible year-round. The
County continued to encourage every local agency to list their information with 211 and currently has
over 250 agencies listed with a wide range of services. The 211 service is available to all residents and
visitors in Collier County by dialing 211 or 263-4211 or by visiting online for more information at:
https://unitedwayofcolliercounty.org/get-help/
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The County provided ESG funding for essential services and operations of emergency shelters, including
domestic violence shelters and transitional housing facilities that assisted a total of 543 persons in the
program year. One of the agencies funded was Shelter for Abused Women and Children, which serves
homeless women, men, children and pets that are victims of domestic violence, victims of human
trafficking, and those who are currently at-risk of homelessness. The agency operates two 60-bed
emergency shelters in Naples and Immokalee, in which both facilities feature residential shelter with an
on-site pet kennel and a special needs unit. Basic need items such as food and clothing, individual and
group counseling, and advocacy are offered free of charge. The agency also operates nine transitional

living cottages in Naples. In addition to the shelters, the agency provides outreach services, school-based
prevention programs and training and education classes throughout Collier County.
Funding was also provided to the Hunger & Homeless Coalition for the use of Homeless Prevention and
Rapid Rehousing activities. NAMI was another service provider for rapid rehousing in the County. Finally,
the County supports the development of transitional housing to provide families with additional supports
to regain stability in the community.
Funding is also provided to Youth Haven, which meets the needs of the homeless community in Collier
County by providing services and programing for region’s abused, abandoned and homeless children and
teens. Youth Haven also provides for emergency shelter for children who had been removed suddenly
from a traumatic home situation.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being
discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities,
mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and
institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing,
health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The Hunger and Homeless Coalition, as the lead of the CoC, is the primary agency addressing homeless
needs in Collier County. The housing needs of homeless persons and families cannot be completely met
by emergency shelters and transitional housing due to a lack of capacity. The County addressed some of
that lack of capacity by utilizing its HOME and ESG funds for homelessness prevention activities including
rental assistance to help low income families avoid becoming homeless.
HOME funds were provided for TBRA service providers to help LMI households find and secure affordable
rental housing. The County has a high need for rental assistance households with extremely low incomes,
because they lack resources in times of crisis such as health issues and loss of employment. Providing
assistance to reduce housing costs in conjunction with providing supportive services allows at-risk
individuals and families to stay in their homes and gives them the chance to regain economic
independence.
ESG funds were allocated to the Shelter for Abused Women and Children for operating costs of the
homeless domestic violence shelters to assist adults and children fleeing from domestic violence. Services
offered help to assist individuals and families leaving systems of care in the County from becoming
homeless. A variety of services were offered including the Children’s Protection Investigations Program,
the Community Education Program, Collier County Jail Group, youth services and Rapid Rehousing. More
details on these programs and others offered by the agency, can be found on their website at:
https://naplesshelter.org/programs/. In addition, the County partners with the Sheriff’s Office, NAMI, and
other service providers in implementing a Criminal Justice Mental Health grant for inmates with mental
illness during incarceration and at discharge.

As mentioned earlier, ESG funds are provided to Youth Haven to provide homeless services and
programing for the County’s abused, abandoned and homeless children and teens. Youth Haven also
provides for emergency shelter for children who had been removed suddenly from a traumatic home
situation.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The County primarily assists LMI households with TBRA rental assistance to help residents avoid
homelessness and make the successful transition to permanent housing. The County also continued to
allocate ESG funds towards Rapid Rehousing to help homeless persons transition to permanent housing.
SHIP funds help to increase the supply of affordable housing through activities such as housing rehab,
rental assistance, and homebuyer assistance. Increasing the affordable housing stock in Collier County
will help to provide permanent housing for homeless individuals and families seeking stable housing.
Recently, nonprofits Community Assisted & Supported Living (CASL) and Residential Options of Florida
(ROOF) merged to strengthen their services in Collier County. Now a single entity, the County refers
individuals and families to this organization dedicated to the housing needs of those with mental health
and substance abuse issues. The organization continues to work with local mental health and substance
abuse providers to transition those in need to permanent supportive housing. They also continue to work
to help families with a disability have access to housing choices that are affordable, sustainable,
accessible, and safe. Recently, SHIP funds were awarded to help secure stable housing for their clients.
The County coordinates with the Collier County Veteran’s Service Division to provide services to Veterans
to assist them in accessing benefits from the Veteran’s Administration Department. Local Veterans Affairs
Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers are provided through a regional partnership with the Housing
Authority of the City of Fort Myers. The VASH program combines HUD’s Housing Choice Voucher (HCV)
rental assistance for homeless Veterans with case management and clinical services provided by the
Department of Veterans Affairs. Collier County currently has several Veterans receiving rental assistance
which helps their homes remain affordable and prevents homelessness.
The County’s Social Services/Seniors Section continued to provide prescription and medical assistance and
referral services for citizens and seniors. Assistance helps reduce monthly expenditures making housing
costs more affordable for individuals and seniors on fixed incomes and helping to reduce homelessness.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) works to improve the quality of life for individuals and
families affected by serious mental illness through services such as education, advocacy, and support. As

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
Collier County continues to work with the Collier County Housing Authority (CCHA) to develop and
maintain affordable housing. The County recently funded the CCHA with HOME funding for Tenant Based
Rental Assistance (TBRA) activities in the County. CCHA has also been awarded CDBG funds to install HVAC
systems in the public housing units.
The mission of the CCHA is to offer a choice of decent, safe, and diverse affordable housing, with
opportunities for low-income households to achieve economic independence in living environments free
from discrimination. The CCHA owns and manages four public housing developments: 276 units of low-
income housing in Farm Worker Village, 315 units of farm labor housing also in Farm Worker Village, 30
units of farm labor housing known as Collier Village, and a 192-bed dormitory known as Horizon Village.
In addition, the Authority serves an estimated 3100 plus people through the administration of the Section
8 rental assistance program. The CCHA’s Family Self-Sufficiency Program is available to HCV participants
to provide services that help these households achieve their goals towards economic independence.
Collier County supports the goals of the CCHA to optimize services for its public housing and Housing
Choice Voucher programs. During PY 2021, CCHA continued to strive to meet the following goals:
• Expand the supply of assisted housing.
• Improve the quality of assisted housing.
• Increase assisted housing choices.
• Provide an improved living environment.
• Promote self-sufficiency and personal development of assisted households; and
• Ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management
and participate in homeownership
CCHA offers a Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program to promote economic opportunities for HCV assisted
families. Through the FSS program, case managers work with families to identify employment goals and
access support services to achieve these goals. As a family’s income rises, CCHA deposits the increased
rent charges that the family pays in an escrow account. The escrow account may then be used by the
family for college or vocational education expenses, work-related expenses, or toward homeownership
as they graduate from the program.
The CCHA has a Section 8 Advisory Board and interested voucher holders are encouraged to join. This
gives voucher participants a formal opportunity to offer input on the voucher program to the CCHA. The
Section 8 Advisory Board also reviews CCHA’s PHA plans and the agency’s progress toward its goals.

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
Housing affordability is a nationwide issue as many families are paying too high of rent and mortgages to
cover the cost of housing. Affordable housing is the cornerstone of stable families and wage increases
have not kept pace with housing prices. Collier County is committed to maintaining housing opportunities
and to eliminating barriers to affordable housing. The County continues to foster and maintain affordable
housing to keep the housing market balanced and fair. Collier County continued to take specific actions
in the program year to address regulatory barriers in affordable housing. The actions taken include
encouraging the development of local ordinances that are inclusive of affordable housing by providing
technical expertise to local municipalities and providing fair housing training and education opportunities
to area subrecipients, Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) members and community partners
at large.
An affordability gap for both affordable and workforce housing exists in Collier County and the City of
Naples. Although the County’s land development codes are not prohibitive, there is a consensus that these
codes are restrictive to certain housing types contributing to the affordability gap. Collier County currently
offers density bonus, impact fee deferrals, and expedited permitting to support the increase of affordable
housing.
The County Board of County Commissioners accepted a community-driven Countywide Affordable
Housing Plan to develop additional incentives and programs to address affordable and workforce housing
needs in the community. County staff have been working to implement changes identified in the
plan. While not an exhaustive list of the report’s recommendations, potential strategies include:
• Revisions to the County’s Local Housing Assistance Plan to require 30- or 50-year affordability
periods, rather than the current 15-year requirement; and
• Reviewing the use of Affordable Housing Density Bonus provisions, including determining how
many units have been created under the provision and whether enforcement actions were taken
against developers that neglected to provide the agreed upon units.
Beyond incentives to negate the effect of public policy, the County has further assisted in reducing barriers
to affordable housing by implementing various programs targeted towards low-and moderate-income
households. Through its grant programs, the County supports affordable housing by providing
homeownership opportunities, bringing homes up to code through rehabilitation efforts, and offering
rental assistance to eligible households. These programs assist in eliminating barriers to affordable
housing by providing economic opportunities and minimizing overall household expenses.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In addition to the activities undertaken by the County, the Housing Authority’s activities are specifically
intended to address barriers to affordable housing by providing economic subsidies to those most in need
of affordable housing. Towards this end, the CCHA continued to reduce the barriers to affordable housing
by providing Section 8 vouchers and assistance programs aimed at transitioning residents from public
housing into the private housing market.
Applications for housing, and the resulting units to be assisted with CDBG and HOME funds will be
reviewed to assure that the housing is fully available to all residents of the community, regardless of race,
color, national origin, gender, age, disability, familial status or sexual orientation/gender identity.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Addressing underserved housing needs is increasingly difficult. To make housing affordable to very low-
income households’ deep subsidies are needed. At this point, appropriations for housing programs are
not at levels to widely support deep subsidies. Additionally, the number of families and individuals
needing access to services has increased and many times the capacity to fund and implement existing or
additional programs is limited.
The County continued to invest its federal funds in viable projects and combined federal sources with
other resources so it could continue to provide residents with affordable housing options. The County
continued to utilize its CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds to the fullest extent to assist in meeting underserved
needs.
To help remove obstacles to meeting underserved needs and improve service delivery, Collier County
worked with local non-profits and other subrecipients to coordinate the work of social service
organizations, disseminate news and information, and spearhead community-wide solutions to local
needs. Specifically, the County worked on projects to construct and improve public infrastructure and
facilities, to support the development of affordable housing and benefit low- and moderate-income
families; to provide public services such as legal aid services to victims, transportation and staffing services
for persons with disabilities and other populations, a mobile mental health unit, and fund services for
victims of violence.
The Community and Human Services Division (CHS) will continue working with County Growth
Management, Public Health, the Public Library, Collier Area Transit, local non-profits as well as the County
Commissioners on projects to benefit the underserved. Efforts continue to be made with the County
CRA’s in the Bayshore and Immokalee area to develop and implement strategies to address the capital
improvement efforts in the County’s target areas. CHS will continue to support funding infrastructure
improvement activities that serve target area and low-to-moderate income populations.
The County also continued to work cooperatively with the Hunger and Homeless Coalition (HHC),
Immokalee Interagency Council, Public Health Department, Collier County Housing Authority, and United
Way of Collier and the Keys to continue to identify and address underserved and unmet needs.

Collier County will continue to support the Collier County Housing Authority’s efforts to expand the
availability and choice of affordable housing units to county residents. The county will also continue to
coordinate with the Housing Authority on efforts to provide rental assistance to prioritized groups of
eligible county residents, such as homeless and youth aging out of foster care.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Lead poisoning in Collier County has been a relatively minor problem as over 80% of the County’s housing
stock was built after 1980 (Source: 2015-2019 ACS). The County has implemented a rental housing
rehabilitation program and continued to operate the program within the HUD Lead-Safe Housing
regulations. The rehabilitation program offered through the County is reducing lead hazard by focusing
on code compliance. The County also ensured that staff is appropriately trained in lead-based paint,
pamphlets are distributed, inspections and assessments are conducted when required, and contractors
trained in lead safe practices are used.
Collier County’s Health Department has historically monitored and responded to all suspected cases of
lead poisoning. Prior to issuing a Notice to Proceed or beginning any type of project, CHS completes an
Environmental Review (ER). In addition to the requirements outlined in the ER, the potential for Lead
Based Paint is always addressed. When a structure is identified as built prior to 1978 a separate review is
completed. A specialist is hired to review the possibility of lead-based paint within the structure. If lead
based paint is found in the structure, all individuals doing renovations, repairs and painting are required
to be certified to safely complete improvements beyond minor repairs. The County follows procedures
as specified in applicable regulations and, specifically, those detailed in Title X. The Division and its
representatives provide all required notifications to owners and occupants. All Division policies and
procedures have been revised to conform to Title X.
All projects carried out with federal funds incorporate the current procedures for hazard reduction or LBP
abatement guidelines as defined in 24 CFR Part 35 and Section 302(c) of the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning
and Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 4822). These procedures govern projects contracted to subrecipients and
developers and funded by CDBG, HOME, and ESG.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Collier County recognizes the interrelationship between housing and economic opportunities and the
need to pursue both to assist households to attain self-sufficiency. The County recognizes while it has
defined priority strategy areas, they are not separate or isolated strategies. These strategies are inter-
related and impact, reinforce, and contribute to each other to achieve the common goal of a viable and
vibrant community. Collier County continued to implement housing activities such as housing
rehabilitation and rental assistance to help reduce the number of households in poverty.
All the programs outlined in the Consolidated Plan are intended to provide benefits to residents that are
considered low-income and/or fall below the federal poverty line. The Community Development Block

Grant Program’s objectives are to develop viable communities that provide decent, safe, and sanitary
housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities primarily for persons of
low- and moderate-income. The County utilizes its CDBG program to make a difference in the lives of its
residents by providing resources to address unique community development needs. The County’s HOME
and SHIP programs are utilized to help increase the supply of affordable housing for low- to moderate-
income households. The County’s housing programs help to reduce housing costs for low-income families
and assist in reducing the overall poverty level of the community. Programs include home improvement
assistance, rental subsidies, and homebuyer assistance.
Collier County also provides funds to the Shelter for Abused Women and Children which offers emergency
shelter facilities and essential services for homeless prevention to assist in reducing the number of
households living below the poverty level.
In addition, hurricane hardening, and weatherization are done through the County’s rehabilitation
program to help reduce energy costs. This assistance is provided to reduce energy consumption and lower
monthly energy bills. Typical measures consist of: air sealing; adding insulation; HVAC system repair or
replacement; window and door repair or replacement; providing high-efficiency lighting fixtures, energy
star refrigerators and other electric base load reduction; and work items that mitigate energy-related
health and safety concerns. In 2021, the County continued to implement the EHEAP program, which
provides utility assistance for seniors who are at or below 110% of the federal poverty level.
The County is proud of its work to eliminate cost burden and target resources in an effective and
coordinated manner. In addition to combatting poverty through its housing and community development
programs, the County has two designated CRAs and continues to focus much of its HUD funding in those
areas. By doing so, the County leveraged complementary initiatives aimed at workforce development,
business development, public infrastructure and community programming initiatives, and other quality
of life features that connect persons living in poverty with services, and opportunities to lift those families
out of poverty.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The Collier County Community and Human Services Division (CHS) serves as the lead entity in carrying out
Consolidated Plan objectives and in making sure CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds are carried out in
accordance with federal regulations. CHS coordinated with various public, private, and non-profit
agencies in carrying out its activities. Collaboration between local, county, and state agencies is important
in successfully carrying out the goals and objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan and addressing
community needs.
Collier County maintains a robust Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC), composed of
representatives from the residential home building, banking/mortgage, labor, low-income advocacy, for-
profit social service, non-profit social service, real estate, employers, and the local planning industries.
These representatives serve as an informed body of experts with unique perspectives on the local

landscape of affordable housing needs and market dynamics in Collier County. Collier County continued
to work with the AHAC to strengthen its leadership role in guiding affordable housing decisions in the
community. Strengthening the institutional expertise and authority of the AHAC will improve the County’s
work in the years ahead.
The County also partnered with the Hunger and Homeless Coalition and is a regular participant in CoC
meetings. The County contributes and participates at the requested levels to aid the Coalition in
addressing the homeless situation that exists in the area.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The County worked to foster collaboration through dissemination of services, news, and information
across social service organizations, sub-recipients, and public and private entities. One way the County
accomplished this is through subrecipient meetings that brought together affordable housing developers
and social service agencies. Through these meetings and evolving network, CHS was able to alert partners
to grant regulation changes, education opportunities, general information, and an opportunity to create
collaborative arrangements to meet the needs of the community. Further, CHS has very good
relationships with many local banks related to the down payment assistance activities.
Collier County participates in the monthly Immokalee Interagency Coalition which includes
representatives from more than 40 different social service agencies, educational and healthcare
organizations, housing providers and others.
The County also partners with social service agencies through the Mental Health and Substance Abuse
(MHSA) Planning Council. This council includes law enforcement, courts, social service agencies, housing
providers and the homeless coalition, all who work collaboratively to address the needs of those who are
homeless, suffer from MHSA issues, have been incarcerated, and are homeless.
Additionally, development of the countywide Community Housing Plan required input from and
coordination of both housing providers and social service agencies. The County encouraged community-
based solutions and regional partnerships, and continued to support and participate in the CoC, whose
membership includes both affordable housing and social service agencies.

The County's most recent Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing was developed in June 2021. The AI
identified four (4) specific impediments which the CHS staff has been addressing.
Impediment #1 Lack of Fair Housing Organization/Fair Housing Education
In PY 2021, Collier County addressed this impediment by:
• Providing funding to Legal Aid Service of Broward County, Inc. d/b/a Legal Aid Service of Collier
County to assist low-income families with legal services to address fair housing concerns.
• Providing funding to Housing Education Lending Programs (HELP) and other housing entities
• Continue to fund educational workshops and a housing fair and other efforts to educate the
community.
In addition, the Community and Human Services Division continued the following to assist in addressing
fair housing impediments:
• Fair housing notices and fair housing pamphlets (English/Spanish) are provided to libraries, social
service agencies, churches and the Collier County CHS lobby. Fair Housing Training is conducted,
and the website has been enhanced for additional Fair Housing Information. In addition, Fair
Housing information is included in the CHS Compliance website for subrecipients and contractors.
• Collier County's Communications and Customer Relations Division is tasked with taking calls
and/or complaints on housing and job discrimination and referring callers to the appropriate
services. They also provide printed materials to the public.
• CHS has a Fair Housing plan.
• CHS requires all subrecipients/developers to have an Affirmative Fair Housing Policy and submit
to CHS within 60 days of agreement execution.
• CHS conducts an annual Fair Housing training for all subrecipients
Impediment #2 Limited Supply of Affordable Housing Restricts Housing Choice
In 2021, the County continued to focus on implementing recommendations outlined in the Community
Housing Plan including modifications to existing incentives including impact fee deferral, affordable
housing density bonus program, making publicly owned land available for housing construction,
identifying additional funding sources for affordable housing, and other recommendations.
• The Land Trust, a new 501 (c)3 which was created in 2019, has appointed a Board, become
incorporated, and developed bylaws within which to operate. In April 2021, CCCLT received the
prestigious designation of Certified Community Land Trust from the Florida Community Land Trust
Institute.

Staff is also working to identify publicly owned land that can be used to develop affordable housing for
working families, young professionals and others; improve family's ability to obtain mortgages through
financial counseling & training; and other recommendations.
In 2021, the Board of County Commissioners continued to work with the affordable housing developer
slated to build affordable rental units on county owned property.
Impediment #4 Lack of Accessible/Special Needs Housing
Special Needs housing has been addressed in the 2017 Community Housing Plan and many of the plan's
recommendations discuss a minimum set-aside for senior and special needs housing; encouraging the
creation of a community land trust (CLT) and other recommendations to address this special needs
population.
The County has also helped fund TBRA assistance to low- and moderate-income households through its
partners the CCHA, NAMI and ROOF. NAMI and ROOF specialize in special needs supportive housing and

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of
the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs
involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
CHS staff monitors compliance with subrecipients and developers on an annual program year. A risk
assessment is completed, and the appropriate monitoring is then assigned. All projects receive at least
one on-site monitoring and ongoing compliance review by the grant staff through reimbursement
requests, phone calls, written correspondence and site visits by the project Grant Coordinator and
management for expenditure eligibility, beneficiaries served, and general project progress is conducted.
CHS maintains a monitoring team comprised of a supervisor, two staff coordinators and a senior
accountant. Policies and procedures are updated as CPD notices are published, as applicable, to maintain
currency with HUD policies.
Once the monitoring visit is completed, staff returns to the office to prepare a compliance letter and sends
it to the subrecipient. The letter will outline whether the subrecipient is compliant or not. If the
subrecipient is determined to be in non-compliance a list of corrective actions are identified with a specific
time for corrections and sent to the subrecipient. The Grant Monitoring Team may schedule a follow up
visit 30 or 60 days following the letter, depending on the severity of the findings, to re-monitor for
improvements/corrections.
Monitoring visits, along with all other pertinent information is tracked by the Grant Coordinators in their
project workbooks and continually updated with the latest project status and reviewed by the CHS
Manager and Director.
Finally, monitoring also includes a review of HUD reports/announcements, monthly program activities,
any red flags, etc. and action is taken as necessary and technical assistance is also provided.
MBE/WBE
Collier County will continue to work with local businesses to establish contracts in regard to CPD programs,
woman-owned and minority-owned businesses. Further, the County will comply with Section 3 of the
Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C 1701u) and implementing regulations at 24 CFR
Part 75.
Comprehensive Planning Requirements
The comprehensive planning requirements include the community planning and development process of
the 5-Year ConPlan, subsequent AAPs, and CAPERs as per 24 CFR 91 Subpart A, C & F. Citizen participation
is a vital part of the consolidated plan process, and the County will make sure to follow its HUD approved
Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) which helps guide CHS staff to gather community input which is an
essential component in identifying the priority housing and community development needs in the

County.
The ConPlan is developed every 5 years, with identified priority needs and goals to address these
needs. Each year of the 5-Year plan, the County develops an AAP which identifies the projects and
activities that will address and further the goals of the plan. This plan is required to be submitted to and
approved by HUD each year to receive CDBG, HOME and ESG funding annually. At the end of each AAP
program year, the County will report on the accomplishments and performance of the program through
the CAPER (performance report). Citizen participation is required in the development of each of these
stages as per 24 CFR 91.105.
Citizen Participation Efforts for PY 2021
Collier County adheres closely to its HUD approved Citizen Participation Plan which guides the County in
providing residents adequate opportunity to participate in the development of plans and review of
performance reports in community planning and development programs as per 24 CRF 91.105. While
preparing the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan, Collier Countys CHS Division hosted a series of public
meetings from February 2021 through April 2021 to discuss issues and opportunities related to housing
and community development needs as well as fair housing issues. The County also provided information
on its application process so eligible applicants might request funding under the CDBG, HOME, and ESG
programs. This meeting and the grant application cycle was advertised in the Naples Daily News, the
Immokalee Bulletin, on the County website, and through direct email to a master list of local
organizations. This application process is documented in the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan final
submission. The Consolidated Plan could be viewed on the County website at www.colliercountyfl.gov
and was also available for review in all County public libraries and at the Community and Human Services
Division office. Public comments on the draft Consolidated Plan were accepted throughout a 30-day
comment period from April 30, 2021, through May 31, 2021. A public hearing to receive comments on the
Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan was held May 3, 2021. No public comments were received.

Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction’s program objectives and
indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences.
This PY 2021 CAPER is the first year of the County’s 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan and there were no
changes to the priorities identified in the plan or the program objectives. Community revitalization and
public service activities remain as high priority needs and the use of CDBG funds are unchanged and
remain essential to address these needs.
Collier County continues efforts to meet Consolidated Plan objectives utilizing available funding and if at
any point in the future determines there is a need to revise objectives identified, the County will provide
proper documentation to support the need for a change and will follow proper amendment procedures
to the plan and any citizen participation requirements as a result of these changes.
CDBG-CV
In response to COVID-19, HUD provided Collier County with CDBG-CV funds in the amount of $4,232,728
to fund activities that prevent, prepare for and respond to the pandemic. To facilitate this, the County
amended its 2019 AAP to include projects/goals to help assist LMI residents during the pandemic. For CV
public services, CDBG-CV funds went to support case management healthcare services to help 189 LMI
vulnerable patients with chronic conditions to minimize the severity of COVID-19 or help to prevent
contracting the virus. The County also funded the Immokalee Fire Control District to help with COVID
protection actions, and this activity had a low/mod benefit for an estimated 36,775 persons. In addition,
CDBG-CV funds were programmed for the Intake Center for Abused, Neglected, Abandoned and Homeless
Youth in Naples. For CV small business stabilization, the County used CDBG-CV funds to support small
businesses impacted by COVID-19 with creating and retaining 41 jobs. Most of the activities mentioned
above were recently started in the 2021 program year. A summary of accomplishments is located in the
CR-05 and expenditures is located in the CR-15.
At this time the goals for the CDBG-CV program have not changed, however the County will continue to
monitor needs of LMI households as the pandemic continues to negatively affect the community.

Collier County has several programs aimed at both fostering and maintaining affordable housing. The
County has identified the need to address the lack of affordable housing as one of its top priorities. In
October 2017, the Board of County Commissioners accepted the Community Housing Plan and has been
actively working towards implementation of the 35 recommendations outlined. In recent program years,
the elected officials have approved several the recommendations including the improvements to the
Affordable Housing Density Bonus program; Impact Fee Deferral Program; advocating for full SHIP funding
and the creation of a Housing Trust Fund. The Board also allocated $500,000 to budget for affordable
housing activities.
Promoting and supporting affordable housing opportunities throughout the service area, providing down
payment assistance programs, new construction, minor home repair, and rehabilitation of affordable
housing units for the purpose of increasing the availability of housing to the very low and low-income
persons.
- Expanding the Collier County Housing Website to be a clearinghouse for those interested in
affordable housing initiatives in the service area.
- Promoting the development of collaborations and partnerships of both non-profit and for-profit
builders, developers, and other interested parties for the purpose of increasing the capacity for the
development of affordable housing in the service area.
- Development of affordable housing in the service area, including Housing Tax Credits (HTC) projects
with County owned land. These rental developments were the Allegro development with 160 units and
the Harmony Apartments (aka Bembridge property with 82 units.
- Collier County expended SHIP funds of roughly $1,016,937.24 to further affordable housing
throughout the County in support of direct homeownership assistance for LMI households.
- Developed a coordinated approach to working with Collier County Housing Finance Corporation by
providing partnership with its members and including their members on the Community Land Trust Board.
HOME ARP
In September 2021, HUD announced the allocation of $2,729,078 to Collier County, for a new grant called
the Home Investment Partnerships Grant American Relief Plan (HOME-ARP). The purpose of HOME-ARP
funds is to provide homelessness assistance and supportive services through several eligible activities.
Eligible activities include acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter, tenant based rental
assistance, supportive services, rental housing development, administration and planning, and nonprofit
operating and capacity building assistance.
HOME-ARP funds must also assist people in HOME-ARP "qualifying populations”, which include:
• Sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations

Table 15 – Qualitative Efforts - Number of Activities by Program
Narrative
On October 29, 2020 HUD made effective the Final Rule, which set new benchmarks for Section 3 under
24 CFR 75. Section 3 helps to establish more economically sustainable communities by ensuring that
employment and other economic opportunities generated by Federal assistance for development
programs are directed towards very low- and low-income persons to the greatest extent possible, and in
particular to those who are recipients of the Federal assistance. The Final Rule changes tracking from the
number of qualified new hires in Section 3 projects, to tracking the total labor hours worked.
As applicable to Collier County, the benchmark for Section 3 workers was set at 25 percent or more of the
total number of labor hours worked by all workers on a Section 3 project. The benchmark for Targeted
Section 3 workers was set at 5 percent or more of the total number of labor hours worked by all workers
on a Section 3 project.
Section 3 Projects cover housing rehab/construction and public improvement construction activities
assisted under HUD grant programs that provide housing and community development financial
assistance that exceeds a threshold of $200,000. A $100,000 project threshold applies to grants under
HUD's Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes programs. In PY 2021 there was one activity that was
subject to the Section 3 reporting requirement.
The Activity #655 Collier County Housing Authority (CCHA) Rental Acquisition, is a development project
that was funded with CDBG for the amount of $397,763.50 which meets the threshold for Section 3
reporting. No hours were reported by Section 3 workers or Targeted Section 3 workers; however, efforts
were made to identify and secure bids from Section 3 business concerns.
A Section 3 report generated through the IDIS reporting system confirms the report of one activity that
met the threshold has been uploaded to the CR-00.
In addition to tracking Section 3 compliance among activities in IDIS, the County also conducts annual
Section 3 reporting training and requires all subrecipients to have a Section 3 policy.
