OBJECTIVE: To implement the Board-approved action plan by providing rental assistance to individuals and
families who may be impacted by Hurricane Ian and who may also be homeless or at risk of homelessness in
Collier County.
CONSIDERATIONS: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides Emergency
Solutions Grants (ESG) and Emergency Solutions Grant RUSH (RUSH) funds to address housing specific
homeless and at risk of homeless needs identified in the community. These funds may include payment for rental
application fees, security deposits, utility deposits or payments, last month’s rent, as well as short- or medium-term
rental assistance.
Every five (5) years, the County is required to prepare the Consolidated Plan outlining the goals and activities over
the next five (5) years for the HUD entitlement funds. The Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the
Collier County 2016-2021 Consolidated Plan on June 28, 2016, Agenda Item #16D23, and the corresponding
FY20-21 One-Year Action Plan on June 23, 2020, Agenda Item #11I. The 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan, including
the FY2021 One-Year Action Plan, was approved by the Board on June 22, 2021, Agenda Item #16D7, and the
FY22-23 One-Year Action Plan was approved by the Board on June 28, 2022, Agenda Item #16D4.
Funding Approval Agreements issued by HUD and approved by the Board for the ESG Program for FY20 were
executed on June 23, 2020, Agenda Item #16D17, and FY21 on June 22, 2021, Agenda Item #16D7 and FY22 on
June 28, 2022, Agenda Item #16D4. The Funding Approval Agreements require grant funds to be used for

Grant Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing (ESG RUSH) funding. A Substantial Amendment to the FY22-23
Annual Action Plan was approved by the Board on December 13, 2022, Agenda Item #16D8. accepting the ESG
RUSH funds with a period of performance date of February 14, 2023, to February 13, 2025. On February 17, 2023,
the final award agreement was received.
In order to fully expend the FY20, 21, and 22 ESG and ESG RUSH funds, it is necessary for the County to directly
administer an ESG/ESG RUSH program due to the lack of sub-recipients. As part of this program, the priority is to
serve those who are homeless and at risk of homelessness.

Mindi 4109 LLC as a landlord willing to participate in the program.

attached standard Landlord Payment Agreement will be forwarded to the Board Chairman for signature and
execution and shall end upon thirty (30) days written notice by either party.

Emergency Solutions Grants which are budgeted in Housing Grant Fund (1835), Project 33690, 33764, 33824, and
