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

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 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan, including the FY2021
One-Year Action Plan, was approved by the Board on June 22, 2021, Agenda Item #16D7, the FY22 -23 One-Year
Action Plan was approved by the Board on June 28, 2022, Agenda Item #16D4 and the FY23-24 One-Year Action
Plan was approved by the Board on July 11, 2023, Agenda Item #16D3.

2021, Agenda Item #16D7 and FY22 on June 28, 2022, Agenda Item #16D4 and FY23 on July 11, 2023, Agenda
Item #16D3. The Funding Approval Agreements require grant funds to be used for homelessness and homeless
prevention and recovery projects in accordance with 24 CFR 576.

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 FY21, 22 and 23 ESG and ESG RUSH funds, it is necessary for the County to dir ectly
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.
HUD requires that each landlord enter into a landlord agreement with the County for payment. Staff has identified
Anchor Construction Group of SWFL, 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.
