Agenda 01/10/2023 Item #16D 2 (To allocate American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to residents and services in Collier County)16.D.2
01 / 10/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners to approve Amendment Seven to the American
Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Plan, approve a reallocation of funds,
and authorize the County Manager or designee to continue to execute any sub -award agreements and
payment requests necessary to distribute reimbursement for expenses to eligible parties.
OBJECTIVE: To allocate American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to
residents and services in Collier County.
CONSIDERATION: 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 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 of 2021 made funds available for a variety of uses for pandemic recovery. In addition, several existing
grant programs like the Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant, and HOME ARP
Grant were repurposed to address the 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 of which Collier
County has received an allocation of $74,762,701. Like the CARES Act, the use of the funds has been directed by
the local government body, following US Treasury guidance.
Allowable uses outlined in the ARP include:
• To respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to
households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and
hospitality.
• To respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by
providing premium pay to eligible workers.
• For the provision of government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue due to the COVID-
19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the
emergency; and
• To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure.
On May 11, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Agenda Item #I IJ, an "After -the -Fact"
agreement submitted to the U.S. Treasury. On June 22, 2021, Agenda Item #IIH, 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 took effect on April 1, 2022.
On March 22, 2022, Agenda Item #16D7, staff submitted Amendment #5 of the Plan to the Board that included
changes to funding allocations based upon the US Treasury Final rule.
On July 12, 2022, Agenda Item # 16D7, the Board approved Amendment #6 and the preliminary Year 2
performance report to allow staff to submit the report timely to the US Treasury.
The funding changes between Amendment #6 and #7 include the following:
a. Shift Naples Community Hospital award of $2,000,000 from PPE to COVID-19 Assistance to COVID-19

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 response 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 expenses' 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 most 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
U.S. Treasury. "Interim Final Rule". 31 CFR Part 35

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 overwhelming 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 the 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:

Plan Format Key
Through its final rule, the US Department of Treasury details seven major expenditure categories with a total of
eighty-three (83) 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 — EC14, 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 major
expenditure categories that are included in this plan.

Continued interventions to support individuals and families, businesses, nonprofits, first responders,
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 20 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
2021
The County finalized allocations for its initial plan and provided a timely submission in August 2021. A
software platform was initiated to manage subrecipients and direct applications, and sub -recipient agreements
and Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) began development.
Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 14
Packet Pg. 824
16.D.2.a
2022
Since the submission of the initial Recovery Plan in August 2021, Treasury released its SLFRF Final Rule. This
impacted the feasibility of Collier projects, which were updated 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. 100% of funds have been encumbered as projects, bearing new
Expenditure Category labels.
The software platform is now 75% complete, capable of managing subrecipient projects and handling direct
grant applications. A direct grant portal for project CC 1.1 Affordable Housing: Mortgage and Rent is open, and
applications are being reviewed.
CC 1.2 — Assistance to nonprofits, began in late 2022 and awards are occurring now. This project is
administered by the Community Foundation.
The County, Florida Gulf Coast University, and implementation partners have submitted timely reporting to
Treasury, and will continue to meet reporting and expenditure goals as outlined by Treasury.
Challenges and Opportunities
2021
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.
2022
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. Five projects were substituted
with replacements based on streamlined reporting or factors impacting allowability of costs. 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 Expenditure 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 reached a low of 2.9% in
December 2019. The sudden rise in unemployment peaked in April of 2020 (14.3%), then declined over the
next six months. By December of 2020, the unemployment rate was down to the pre -pandemic level of the
previous year (2.9%). As of January 2022, unemployment is 2.9%, which is down 1.8 points year -over -year,
and even down .5 points from the January 2020 level and the rate remains below the pre -pandemic level
through September of 2022. Collier County is hopeful that it will not experience another hike in
unemployment as leaders, businesses and residents have gained more knowledge over the past two years in
regard 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 wherein 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 strategies 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 have 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) [$14,329,718] - 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 $8M under the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which was enacted on December 27, 2020, and ERA2 provides up to
$6.3M 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
COVID Response and Resilient Communities $1.2 million — In this newly awarded project, Collier County
Community Health Coalition (CCCHC) partners, which include the Collier County government, the Healthcare
Network, Department of Health Collier County, Partners In Health, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, and
Mission Peniel, will support efforts to expand the Community Health Program in the county by training and
mentoring Community Health Workers (CHW) to serve Extra Mile communities in Collier County and to
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."' 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 recovery'. 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 poverty 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 114.001. 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,

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 Impacted and Disproportionately Impacted populations for access to public health services.
Negative Economic Impacts (EC-2)
Target Impacted and Disproportionately Impacted populations for access to Food Programs, Rent, Mortgage,
and Utility Aid, Education Disparities, and Other Economic Support.
Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 25
Packet Pg. 835
16.D.2.a
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 less 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, 1.8 and 3.4 (Rental Assistance, Mental Health, Housing, and Public
Health Services, Food Security, and Housing Navigators), and CC 4.1-4.5 (Education, Food Assistance,

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 quantitative 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.
2022
In light of final rule guidance, the County is emphasizing services to and data collection upon impacted and
disproportionately impacted beneficiaries. This includes persons of low to moderate income, persons
experiencing housing or food insecurity, persons experiencing unemployment, recipients of certain federal
benefits, inhabitants of Qualified Census tracts, and students who lost access to in -person instruction for a
significant amount of time. As reporting data from projects and subrecipients becomes elaborated, reflections
of populations served and KPIs related to equity projects will be reported in the Performance Report and
Appendix A.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
2021
The initial Collier County Recovery Plan was developed 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 Community 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,
Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 33
Packet Pg. 843
16.D.2.a
was made available for public comment, and a draft final version was approved at the June 22, 2021, Board of
County Commissioners Board Meeting'.
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 postings 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.

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 benefit 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, community 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).
Given the commitment to monitoring and evaluation during the plan horizon, evaluators can return to survey
responses for complementary programs should the need arise.
Building 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 2021
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.

2022
Since the inaugural plan, a significant amount of evolution has occurred. The release of the Final Rule and
associated guidance led to project review and necessary adjustments. Per public input to the 2021 survey,
however, projects still align with stated preferences. Mental health and grief services are still strongly
supported; food assistance now contains the Community Foundation, OF Extension, and Collier Museums
projects; education is supplied by the Library COLE and Museum projects; training for businesses through the
Business Resilience grants; and additional healthcare through the EMS projects, PPE, PLAN, and Meals of
Hope projects.
Next Steps 2022
Collier County and partners initiate project specific messaging — for example, CC 1.1 Affordable Housing
Grants — as projects are in pre -application status. An upcoming grant cycle project for 2022 will be CC 1.2 —
which will include messaging for potential nonprofit grantees. The County continues to engage residents,
businesses, and constituents via interaction at all levels. New project proposals are fielded on a monthly basis
and are evaluated according to need, allowability under SLFRF guidelines, and funding availability. Continued
engagement of area nonprofits will be a feature of the full project horizon.

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.' 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, transfer,
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, women, 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 anc
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 supervisor, 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 employees 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 arise'.
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) and Negative Economic
Impacts (EC 2) 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 support 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."
The following Collier County projects under EC 1 and 2 will strive to include evidence -based findings to justify
program activities:

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, outputs and outcomes may shift to reflect the implementing organization's specific logic model.
Please see Appendix A: Collier County KPI Compendium for evaluation on KPIs. From the Collier County
inventory of projects, the following KPIs have been developed by expenditure category. The first table provides
an overview of KPIs; the second provides data inputs for the current year.

Mandatory Performance Indicators (Federally Required)
a. Household Assistance and Housing Support:
• 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
collect information about people and households receiving eviction prevention services via project CC 1.6. 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 for business recovery 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.
c. Education Assistance:
• 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:
• 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 has not allocated project funding directly for childcare, early learning, or home visitations at this time.
Should sub -recipient projects emerge that included childcare or home visits, data will be collected thereon.

SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS
2021
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 partners. 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 overtime, 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.

16.D.2.a
This plan will be posted on a public -facing website for the entirety of project activities (until 2027). For
questions, please contact the Collier County Community and Human Services Division at (239) 252-2273.
2022
Collier County responded to numerous changes between submission of the 2021 Recovery Plan, the amended
2021 plan submitted to Treasury (Amendment 5), and the 2022 edition (Amendments 6 and 7). Five projects
were added and five removed, in step with changing pandemic needs and local priorities. This included use of
the Revenue Replacement Expenditure Category, removal of infrastructure projects, and additions of an
affordable housing project and EMS capital expenditure project. Further, many of the County's centerpiece
equity projects were re -crafted to better fit within Final Rule expenditure categories, and reasonable and
proportional responses to identified impacts or impacted/disproportionately impacted populations.
Subrecipient agreements experienced continual adaptation during this timeframe. As Treasury guidance
changed, so too did the corresponding agreements the County had in development. Key Performance
Indicators were improved and evidence bases were updated. This led to delays in project roll -outs; ultimately a
good development rather than to have projects in defunct Expenditure Categories or lacking justification, such
as the reasonable and proportional response. Collier County collaborated with subrecipients to access the
current need and realigned project budgets and expenditure categories to better serve the community.
Significant progress has been made pertaining to grant management software and oversight. Florida Gulf
Coast University will continue to assist with project monitoring & evaluation, which may also impact projects
and expenditure categories utilized in years to come.
