Agenda 12/12/2023 Item #16D10 (Resolution - Block grant HOME Investment Partnership)12/12/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the submission of the Collier County U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report for the
Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership, and Emergency Solutions Grant
programs for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 as required; approve the Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report Resolution; and authorize the Chairman to certify the Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report.
OBJECTIVE: To comply with the requirements of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
grant programs.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County became an entitlement community and first received Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in 2001, HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) entitlement funds in
2003, and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) entitlement funds in 2004.
HUD requires all entitlement communities to prepare a Consolidated Annual Performance (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 (2022-2023).
The information contained in this CAPER document for FY 2022 includes accomplishment data for all HUD-
funded programs. While all projects are not completed partial data may be reported and staff have worked to
reconcile all data from prior reporting years. The most notable accomplishments for PY 22 include:
• Public Improvements: The County continues to work to complete the construction of Immokalee Fire
Station and once completed will benefit 24,050 persons. The construction of Sunrise Group adult day care
facility was completed and benefited 64 Low-to-Moderate income (LMI) adult disabled persons.
• Public Services: The County funded public services in PY 2022 which benefited 1,109 LMI persons.
Transportation services were provided by Sunrise and Immokalee Boys and Girls Club to a total of 694
individuals. Legal services were provided by Legal Aid of Collier County and benefited 161 LMI persons.
HELP Home Buyer Academy provided educational services to 75 LMI persons and families.
• Affordable Housing: During PY 2022, the Collier County Housing Authority completed the acquisition of a
duplex housing unit to increase the number of affordable housing units available for LMI persons. The
accomplishments of the rental housing project will be reported once the units have been leased to income -
eligible tenants.

• CDBG-CV Activities: During PY 2022, the County assisted 643 individuals using CDBG-CV funding.
Case Management Healthcare Services continued to help patients at risk with one or more chronic
conditions. The total number of unique patients that have been assisted is currently 572, of which 354 are
LMC. Through legal, financial, and accounting for small businesses impacted by the 2020 pandemic, the
County was able to provide services and support to 11 businesses and 71 individuals. Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE), bunker gear, public health supplies, and a first responders’ truck were purchased to
support preventative measures for the Immokalee Fire District. Construction of the Intake Center for
Abused, Neglected, Abandoned and Homeless Youth began on January 23, 2023, and is expected to be
completed in December 2023. Construction delays have occurred due to Hurricane Ian, and subseque nt
shortages in labor and products.
• HOME funds were used to provide rental assistance to 8 low-income households through the Tenant Based
Rental Assistance (TBRA) program, and to assist 5 income-eligible families to become homeowners
through the down payment assistance program.
• ESG funds assisted a total of 541 persons experiencing homelessness or those at risk of becoming homeless
through shelter operations, rapid re-housing, and homelessness prevention programs. ESG-CV funds
assisted a total of 508 people, representing 274 households experiencing homelessness with emergency
shelters. ESG-RUSH funding assisted 1 household with homelessness prevention, and 16 households with
rapid re-housing rental assistance to assist homeless persons, or those at risk of being homeless, that had
been impacted by Hurricane Ian.
The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) data is compiled from reports by the subrecipient homeless services
providers. The accomplishment data in the CAPER includes the number of beneficiaries served for each of the
categories of services for the programs and is accurate based on the information available. HUD’s official ESG
reporting requirement uses the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data uploaded to HUD’s
SAGE reporting repository. Recent updates to HUD’s SAGE system have delayed the ability of the County’s ESG
subrecipients to upload the data and complete the ESG annual report in SAGE. The HUD software provider is
working on necessary software updates to resolve this issue and anticipates completing the fix by mid-December.
Once the final data is available it will be included in the final submission report.
The CAPER was made available for public review and comment during the required fifteen -day comment period
(November 20th to December 4, 2023). The draft report was available at all public libraries, the Community and
Human Services (CHS) webpage on the County’s website, the CHS office, and the Communications and
Customer Relations Division office. A public hearing was held on November 29th and as of the publication, no
comments regarding the CAPER were received. Due to the size of the CAPER, the document is not included as an
attachment, but is provided as a web link.
FISCAL IMPACT: This action has no new Fiscal impact. $3,670,369.75 in CDBG, HOME, and ESG entitlement
funds were expended on public services, infrastructure, public facilities, housing, and homeless services in FY
2022-2023. The following table breaks out the allocations and expenditures during the fiscal year ending

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 and receives an annual allocation of grant funds from
the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program, and Emergency
Solutions Grant (ESG). In PY 2022, the County was allocated $2,503,752 in CDBG, $842,319 in
HOME, and $221,482 in ESG funds, and an additional $861,716 in ESG RUSH Disaster Relief Grant
awarded after being impacted by Hurricane Ian. These funds help the County address the housing
and community development objectives outlined in the strategic plan, which include
affirmatively furthering fair housing, affordable housing, homelessness prevention, rapid re-
housing, public facilities, public infrastructure improvements, and public 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 summarized in
this second-year report on the strategic plan, and annual action plan. During the 2022 program
year, 100% of the CDBG expenditures other than administration was utilized to benefit low- and
moderate-income persons.
Public Improvements: The County completed public facility improvements that benefited a total
of 36,839 LMI persons through direct benefits or those living in low/mod areas. Construction of
Immokalee Fire Station was completed in August 2023 to benefit 36,775 persons. The project will
be closed out in the next program year. Construction of Sunrise Group adult day care facility was
completed and benefited 64 LMI adult disabled persons.
Public Services: The County funded public services in PY 2022 which benefitted 296 LMI persons.
Transportation services were provided by the Sunrise Community Center to benefit a total of 60
persons, and . Legal services were provided by Legal Aid of Collier County and benefited 161 LMI
persons. HELP Home buyer Academy provided educational services to 75 LMI persons and
families. A public services activity currently underway to provide transportation services is the
Immokalee Boys and Girls Club, which will be completed and reported in the next program year.
Affordable Housing: During PY 2022, the Collier County Housing Authority completed the
acquisition of a duplex housing unit to increase the number of affordable housing units available
for LMI persons. The accomplishments of the rental housing project will be reported once the
units have been leased to income eligible tenants. A housing rehabilitation program is currently
underway to replace HVAC units in 50 affordable housing units owned by the Collier County
Housing Authority and is expected to be completed during the 2023 program year.
CDBG-CV Activities: During PY 2022, the County assisted 74,193 individuals using CDBG-CV
funding. Covid Case Management Healthcare Services continued to help patients at risk for
CAPER 3

COVID-19 with one or more chronic conditions. The total number of unique patients that have
been assisted is currently 572, of which 354 are LMC. Through legal, financial, and accounting for
small businesses impacted by COVID-19, the County was able to provide services and support to
11 businesses to benefit a total of 71 persons. A first responders’ truck, Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE), and public health supplies were purchased to support protection actions for
the Immokalee Fire District to benefit 36,775 area residents. A second activity for the Immokalee
Fire District was implemented to support preventative measures, and PPE and bunker gear was
purchased and served 36,775 area residents. . Construction of the Intake Center for Abused,
Neglected, Abandoned and Homeless Youth began on January 23, 2023, and is expected to be
completed in December 2023. Construction delays have occurred due to Hurricane Ian, and
subsequent shortages in labor and products.
HOME funds were used to provide rental assistance to 15 low-income households through the
Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program, and to assist 4 income eligible families to
become homeowners through the down payment assistance program.
ESG funds assisted a total of 457 persons experiencing homelessness or those at risk of becoming
homeless through shelter operations (444), rapid re-housing (8), and homelessness prevention
programs (5). ESG-CV funds assisted a total of 508 persons, representing 274 households
experiencing homelessness with emergency shelter. ESG-RUSH funding assisted a total of 17

CAPER 7
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and
specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority
activities identified.
HUD entitlement funds were distributed in accordance with the priorities outlined in the County's
5-Year 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan and the PY 2022 Annual Action Plan (AAP). These priorities
included public facilities and infrastructure enhancements, public services, homeless prevention
services, emergency shelter operations, promotion of fair housing, and the preservation and
development of affordable housing. The allocation of all funds was specifically targeted to low-
to-moderate income (LMI) residents and special needs groups. The County's utilization of funds
was as follows:
Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements: CDBG $ 1,258,948.38 (38.9%)
Public Services: CDBG $377,740.62 (11.7%)
Affordable Housing Preservation : $1,082,251.51 (33.4%)
Administration: CDBG $520,270.06 (16.1%)
Total CDBG: $3,239,210.57
PY 2022 Goals and Actual Accomplishment Comparison
The strategic plan goal of providing emergency housing for persons experiencing homelessness
exceeded the 2022 program year expectations, as a total of 952 persons were provided
overnight shelter through ESG funded activities
The ESG and ESG-Rush funded programs supported homelessness prevention activities to assist
6 families at risk of homelessness, and the same funding source assisted an additional 27
families experiencing homelessness by providing them the resources to secure housing.
Activities to meet the goals of improving public facilities mostly met the expectations of the
action plan year, and a total of 36,839 LMI persons were provided increased access to quality
public facilities through CDBG activities implemented during the program year.
Increasing the availability of affordable quality rental housing was supported through CDBG
funded activities to acquire a duplex was completed during the program year. Accomplishments
on the rental housing acquisition will be reported once the units have been leased.
Construction is underway for a housing rehabilitation activity to replace HVAC systems at 50
affordable housing units.
Activities to further the goals of affordable housing through homeownership were
implemented, and a total of 4 families became homeowners through the HOME funded down
CAPER 8
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
payment assistance program. While this number is only 13% of the anticipated goal for this
program year, price increases in the housing market as well as rising mortgage rates in 2023
have impacted the number of low income households that can afford to become homeowners.
For the HOME program, CHDO activities have not progressed at this time. HUD has granted
Collier County a waiver and extension for CHDO activities.
The goal of providing Tenant Based Rental Assistance through the HOME program and Rapid
Re-housing through the ESG program exceeded expectations for the strategic plan and program
year, and 39 households were provided rental assistance through the HOME TBRA, and
ESG/ESG-RUSH funded rapid re-housing activities.

Table 2 – Table of assistance to racial and ethnic populations by source of funds
Narrative
The ethnic and racial diversity of Collier County is estimated based upon the 2021 ACS 5-year
estimates. According to the ACS data, 79.5% of the County’s residents identify as racially White,
6.6% are Black or African American, and 1.5% are Asian. 9.3% of residents identify as part of two
or more races. The number of Collier County residents that ethnically identify as Hispanic is
estimated at 28.5% of the total population.
Table 2 provides a description of the persons and families assisted during the 2022 program year,
and represents information collected for direct services activities by program. Due to limitations
on adding additional funding sources to the table within the HUD reporting database, information
on the CARES Act and Disaster Recovery funds are included in the narratives below, for those
programs where information on race and ethnicity was collected.
CDBG: The table above contains data on the racial and ethnic populations assisted by CDBG
grant funding awarded to the County, for services where data on race and ethnicity was collected
from the individuals served. These counts do not include data for the area benefit activities.
According to this data, data was collected for 358 individuals served by CDBG funded activities. .
Of these people assisted, 304 were white, 47 were Black or African American, and 7were Asian.
The number that identified as ethnically Hispanic is 342. Comparatively, the distribution for
CDBG funds reflects some of the racial and ethnic demographics of Collier County. 85% of CDBG
funding provided services to White residents. While 13% of CDBG funding went to Black or
CAPER 10

Table 3 - Resources Made Available Narrative
In the PY 2022, Collier County received Federal funding from various grant programs, including
CDBG, HOME, and ESG. Additionally, the County received CARES Act funds from CDBG-CV, ESG-
CV, and HOME-ARP funds which are not shown in the table but are detailed in the accompanying
narrative. The table presented below outlines the available resources for the program year and
the funds that were utilized.
In the program year 2022, the County received a total of $2,503,752 in available resources

for program year 2022 activities. These CDBG funds were allocated for various purposes,
including public facilities across the County, public services for low- and moderate-income (LMI)
individuals, affordable housing activities, and program administration. The breakdown of CDBG
expenditures by priority is as follows:
Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements: CDBG 1,258,948.38 (38.9%)
Public Services: CDBG $377,740.62 (11.7%)
Affordable Housing Preservation and development: $1,082,251.51(33.4%)
Administration: CDBG $520,270.06 (16.1%)

CV funds to support initiatives aimed at preventing, preparing for, and responding to COVID-19.
The total expenditures for the CDBG-CV program during program year 2022 amount is
$1,989,856.10. The unexpended balance of CDBG-CV funds totals $1,640,639.83. A list of
activities and expenditures for the CDBG-CV program can be found in the PR-02, which is included
in the CR-00.
CAPER 12
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Of the CDBG-CV funds expended during program year 2022, 35.2% was for public services
($699,982.74), 58.5% was expended for public facilities improvements ($1,163,905.64) and 6.3%
have been expended for administration activities ($125,967.72).
ESG-CV: Collier County received an award of $3,183,770 in ESG-CV funds to address the needs of
persons experiencing homelessness, and those at risk of homelessness. To date, the total amount
expended is $3,165,469.24, representing 99% of the allocation. During PY 2022, an additional 508
persons were provided with emergency shelter services through support from the ESG-CV
funding. A total of $1,043,151.36 was expended in this final year of the ESG-CV program.
ESG-RUSH- Collier County received a special allocation of ESG funds, a total award of $861,716
through the Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing (ESG-RUSH) program. Since receiving the funds,
a total of $11,256.76 has been expended, for administration to cover the costs to administer and
implement the ESG-RUSH funded activities. The ESG-RUSH funds do not require a match and the
amount of funds expended for administration represents approximately 1.3% of the total
allocation, which is within the requirements for the program. Expenditures for services to
homelessness prevention and Rapid Re-Housing participants will be drawn in the subsequent
program year.
HOME ARP
Collier County was awarded $2,729,078 in HOME-American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds from HUD
to address the ongoing health and economic impacts of the pandemic and support the housing
needs for persons experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness. The County’s
HOME-ARP Allocation Plan was completed and submitted to HUD during the 2022 program year
and identified the primary goal to develop affordable rental housing using the bulk of the funding
in the amount of $2,319,717. HOME-ARP funds will be used to develop a minimum of 10
affordable rental units to support the housing needs for the target population. The remaining
15% of HOME-ARP funds will be used for administration and planning to implement the
development activities to be identified in the future. During program year 2022, a total of
$16,604.13 in HOME-ARP funds were expended to support the planning and administration
activities to develop the allocation plan.

Narrative
The County’s CDBG, CDBG-CV, HOME, ESG, ESG-CV, and ESG-RUSH funds were allocated to
activities that 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 CDBG eligible 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. Activities that provide a direct benefit to LMI households are qualified as income-
eligible to ensure that funds meet a national objective for the CDBG program, or otherwise meet
the eligibility criteria for the HOME and ESG programs.
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.
Federal funds also help the County to leverage State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP)
funding which is used to meet the housing needs of low- and moderate-income households and
expand or preserve the availability of affordable housing. Collier County was allocated
$3,677,575 in SHIP funds during the 2022 program year, which were used for a wide variety of
rental, owner occupied, or homeownership programs.
CDBG funds awarded to public services providers help to leverage additional public and/or
CAPER 14
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
private funding that provide services to the community. An example of leveraging by public
services non-profits are state funds received from the Department of Children and Families
which support CDBG programs.
Publicly Owned Land or Property Used to Address the Plan
Collier County maintains a list of County owned land available for the development of
affordable housing. A current plan to address affordable housing using County owned land is
the Golden Gates Golf Course Development Project, where 350 affordable rental units will be
constructed. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2024.
Collier County provided a land donation for the Ekos on Santa Barbara project, an affordable
housing project funded through multi-family revenue bonds and 4% LIHTC tax credits to
support the development of 82 affordable housing units. The construction was completed
during the end of 2023, and the units will be occupied by households earning less than 80% of
the area median income. Lease up of the units should be completed by January 2024.
MBE/WBE Report
There were no contracts awarded for HOME projects during program year 2022.
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. HUD has
reduced the match liability for Collier County to eliminate the contribution requirements
through September 30, 2023. Therefore, there is no match liability for program year 2022.
Collier County recorded and contributed $6,495.08 to be added to the carry forward from the
prior year. The match contribution report was revised to remove $143,504.92 in contributions
reported in the prior year. The net increase in match contributions totals $6,495.08 for program
year 2022, and this figure was used in the Table 5- HOME Match summary below.
ESG Match Requirement
ESG regulations require grant recipients to make matching contributions equivalent to the
program year ESG award- or a 100% match. Matching funds may include contributions to any of
the County’s ESG programs, including funds awarded to a subrecipient. The matching
requirements are met per 24 CFR Part 576.201. The program year ESG funds allocation for 2022
was $221,482 and the expenditures were matched from local government funds and other
private funds from subrecipients. Information on the ESG matching contributions can be found
in the attached ESG CAPER. The ESG-RUSH special allocation does not require a matching
contribution.

Collier County exceeded the expectations for meeting the goals and outcomes of affordable housing for the 2022 program year. The estimated number of beneficiaries in the One-Year Action Plan was 90, and the total number of households that received improved access to affordable housing was 49. The additional number served includes beneficiaries for the ESG-RUSH program, and the estimates for this program are not included in the One-Year Goal.
Through a combination of CDBG, HOME, ESG, and ESG-RUSH funding, affordable housing programs assisted a total of 45 households with rental assistance, and 4 households with acquisition through a homeownership program.
Residents of Collier County faced difficulties with current mortgage interest rate increases and higher housing costs. These difficulties have created barriers for first-time and LMI buyers.
CAPER 20
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The HOME TBRA program has supported 15 households to date through the provision of rental assistance, with the addition of 8 new households receiving TBRA assistance during program year 2022, and an additional 4 households were assisted with down payment assistance to support homeownership.
The ESG program provided rental assistance to a total of 16 households, with 5 assisted through Homelessness Prevention programs, and 8 assisted with Rapid Re-housing programs.
In October 2022, Collier County received a special allocation of ESG-RUSH funding as a result of the impact of Hurricane Ian. The total award of $861,716 is being used to support the housing needs of persons that are homeless or at risk of homelessness. To date, 17 persons have been assisted with ESG-RUSH funding. Of these beneficiaries, 1 person received rental assistance to prevent homelessness and 16 persons experiencing homelessness were housed through the Rapid Re-housing program.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
Throughout the Consolidated Plan development process, a recurring theme was the demand for affordable housing. Both LMI renters and homeowners require assistance in the creation of affordable housing initiatives. This includes the development of projects near employment hubs to ensure affordability for service employees and other members of the low-wage workforce. The CCHA’s HVAC rehab activities during PY 2022 provide services to LMI individuals and increase the quality of affordable housing stock in Collier County.

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 engages with the Hunger and Homeless Coalition (HHC), the principal agency
overseeing the Continuum of Care (CoC). The County participates in a weekly By Name List
meeting with the CoC to review the housing needs of homeless veterans. These weekly
meetings identify available resources to best facilitate connecting persons experiencing
homelessness to available services and assist in housing placement through partnerships with
other social service agencies. Through data collection and analysis facilitated by the HMIS
system the County is able to connect with homeless individuals, assess individual needs, and
comprehend the homelessness dynamics in the area. The County also reaches out to homeless
persons and to assess the need for facilities and programs 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 persons
experiencing homelessness in Collier County on the night of the Count, of which 305 were
sheltered and 157 were unsheltered.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Collier County supports the emergency shelter needs for persons experiencing homelessness
through allocating CDBG public services dollars to support shelter operations, and ESG are
awarded to non-profits that operate emergency shelter facilities to ensure homeless services
are available in the community. The ESG-RUSH funded homelessness prevention and rapid re-
housing programs are administered directly by the County. The total number of individuals
served through the CDBG and ESG/ESG-RUSH funded activities was 713 during the 2022
program year.
The County also funds domestic violence shelters and transitional housing facilities that assisted
a total of 460 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,
CAPER 22
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 support 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 emergency shelter for children who
have 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 agency 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,
CAPER 23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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, DLC and other service providers in implementing a
Criminal Justice Mental Health grant for inmates with substance abuse and 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 emergency shelter for children who have 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 extremely-low, and low-income 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. Access to treatment
services as well as ongoing case management is provided to ESG and ESG-RUSH clients by this
organization.
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
CAPER 24
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 part of their support programs, NAMI administers a rapid re-housing
program utilizing ESG funds to assist clients with mental health challenges. This organization
was also a provider of the Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) services to help clients prevent
homelessness during and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Youth Haven provided services to youth exiting foster care through ESG funds and provides
emergency shelter and rapid re-housing programs.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
Collier County remains in partnership with the Collier County Housing Authority (CCHA) to create
and uphold affordable housing solutions. The CCHA is dedicated to providing a range of decent,
secure, and diverse affordable housing options, fostering economic independence for low-
income households in discrimination-free living environments. The CCHA received CDBG funds
to implement HVAC system installations in designated public housing units, and a project to
install improved HVAC units in 50 affordable housing units is currently underway. An activity still
underway is the acquisition of a duplex to add to the affordable rental housing stock. The
acquisition has been completed during program year 2022, and accomplishments will be
reported once the new rental units have been leased.
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.

Housing affordability is a nationwide issue as many families are paying too high a percentage of
their income for 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 AHAC committee held monthly meetings in 2023 to review the plans, policies, procedures,
ordinances, regulations, statutes, and the comprehensive plan to evaluate their impact on
affordable housing and make recommendations for policy changes that could foster and
encourage the development of affordable housing. The AHAC reviews incentive strategies
intended to encourage the development of affordable housing in Collier County prepare a
report for submission to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) as required to
continue to be eligible for annual State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funding. The
incentive strategies report was approved by the AHAC by consensus and will be submitted to
the Board of County Commissioners for approval in November 2023. A summary of the
incentive strategies report is as follows:
• Permit affordable housing within commercial zoning districts, increase density in activity
centers from 16 units/acre (upa) to 25 upa, allow no more than 25 upa in strategic
opportunity zones, and encourage residential development with higher density along
public transit corridors.
• Create a publicly available, data driven GIS mapping tool to identify, locate, and provide
monitoring for affordable housing units located in Collier County.
• Identify opportunities and challenges associated with Florida’s Live Local Act (LLA),
identify parcels eligible for development consistent with the LLA, and work with
CAPER 28
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
stakeholders to identify potential implementation issues of LLA that developers might
face.
• Use of 1% surtax funding for affordable housing land acquisition, and the set aside of
$20 million of surtax proceeds for affordable housing related land acquisition.
• Use of flexible densities and utilization of greater density bonuses for affordable housing
development.
• Evaluation of parking and setback requirements for consideration of reductions for
affordable housing projects to increase affordability on a case by case, as requested
basis.
• Further examination of the potential use of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to increase
the availability of attainable housing.
• Updating the policy for review of County Owned Lands available for development of
affordable housing to an annual process, and greater transparency of conveying land to
developers through promotion and advertisement.
• Prioritization of higher density projects along transit corridors and increase from 13 upa
to 25 upa.
These AHAC recommendations prioritize policy changes meant to increase the number of
affordable housing units through the implementation of incentive strategies to make the
development of affordable housing more attractive to developers, while locating affordable
housing in multiuse zoned areas along public transit lines to improve economic opportunities
and transportation access for residents of affordable housing.
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. 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)
CAPER 29
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Using CDBG-CV funding, the County was able to provide legal, financial, and accounting services
and support to 11 businesses and 71 individuals impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The County did not undertake any housing activities in PY 2022 that required the mitigation of
lead-based paint hazards. When the County does undertake housing activities, it follows all
regulations as required by HUD and the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of
1992 and HUD’s Lead Safe Housing Rule (24 CFR Part 35). Prior to any construction activities
on a pre-1978 dwelling that could potentially disturb paint, a certified inspection of the
structure and testing to detect the presence of lead-based paint is conducted. If lead-based
paint is found to exist, a risk assessment is conducted to determine the type, severity and
location of the hazards. The findings of the risk assessment may direct abatement as the
solution to best protect children from lead exposure. The County makes HUD Lead Hazard
Information pamphlets available to all citizens, upon request.
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 are 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
CAPER 30
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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.
Collier County has designated staff to act as liaison with the Health Department to address
cases of lead poisoning within the community.
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
CAPER 31
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
seniors who are at or below 110% of the federal poverty level.
In PY2022, the County funded the Esperanza Community Center. The Center is located in an LMI area
and provides services to the community such as housing counseling, housing assistance, food giveaways
and health events. The project is currently underway.
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.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
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 2022, Collier County addressed this impediment by:
• Providing funding to Legal Aid Service of Broward County, Inc. d/b/a Legal Aid Service of
Collier 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
CAPER 33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Impediment #2 Limited Supply of Affordable Housing Restricts Housing Choice
In 2022, 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. In PY 2022 the County was awarded funding to support the CLT
operations through its local housing trust fund.
Impediment #3 High Concentrations of Low-Income Housing
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 2022, 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
these 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 will continue to be funded in future program years.

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 is
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. In an effort to increase the participation of
MBE/WBE businesses in the HUD programs, CHS provides mandatory training to subrecipients
on an annual basis. The training outlines the requirements for encouraging MBE/WBE
participation in contracting opportunities to increase economic opportunities to businesses that
certify as minority or women owned.

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.
Citizen Participation Efforts for PY 2022
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 PY 2022 CAPER, the Collier County CHS Division published a
public notice to notify the public of availability of the draft CAPER availability on November 20,
2023, and to solicit comments. A public meeting was hosted on November 29, 2023, to present
a summary of the activities undertaken in PY 2022 to meet the goals and objectives of the
strategic plan.
After the close of the public comment period, Collier County staff presented the draft CAPER to
the Board of County Commissioners for approval prior to submission to HUD. The board approval
was requested on December 12, 2023, and citizens were allowed an additional opportunity to
comment on the CAPER during the board meeting.
To meet the requirements for citizen participation for the PY 2022 CAPER, the County gave notice
in the local paper, Naples Daily News, and on its website that the draft CAPER report would be
available for a 15-day public comment and review period and a public hearing at a regular Board
of County Commissioners meeting to discuss the CAPER. Below are directions on how citizens
could participate in the review of the draft CAPER.
Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)
Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to
comment on performance reports.
The purpose of the citizen participation process is to actively encourage citizens, particularly
low- and moderate-income households, to participate in the planning of the Consolidated Plan,
the Annual Action Plan (AAP), the development of the Consolidated Annual Performance
Evaluation Report (CAPER) and any required submission of substantial amendments to those

CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
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.
The PY 2022 CAPER marks the second year of the County's 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan. No
alterations have been made to the priorities or program objectives outlined in the Consolidated
Plan. Community revitalization and public service activities are still high-priority needs, and the
utilization of CDBG funds helps Collier County address these needs.
Collier County is committed to achieving the objectives of the Consolidated Plan with the
available funding. If a determination is made to revise the identified objectives, the County will
furnish appropriate documentation substantiating the need for change. Furthermore, the County
will adhere to the proper amendment procedures for the plan, ensuring compliance with the
citizen participation plan.
CDBG-CV
Collier County received $4,232,728 in CDBG-CV funds from HUD to support initiatives aimed at
preventing, preparing for, and responding to the challenges posed by COVID-19. In PY 2022, a
total of 74,193 persons benefitted from 4 activities implemented. A total of 572 unique patients
have been assisted by Covid Case Management Healthcare Services. The County was able to
provide legal, financial, and accounting services and support to 11 businesses and benefitted 71
individuals impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), public
health supplies, and a first responders’ truck were purchased to support protective actions for
the Immokalee Fire District and served 36,775 persons. A second activity for the Immokalee Fire
District to support preventative measures was implemented to support preventative measures,
and PPE and bunker gear was purchased and served 36,775 area residents for a combined total
of 73,550 person served through these two unique activities. Construction of the Intake Center
for Abused, Neglected, Abandoned and Homeless Youth is ongoing and has been extended until
December 27, 2023. Construction delays have occurred due to Hurricane Ian, and shortages in
labor and products. Construction of the Esperanza Community Center is ongoing and will be
completed during the next period.
Currently, the objectives of the CDBG-CV program remain unchanged. Nevertheless, the County
will persist in assessing the needs of Low- to Moderate-Income (LMI) households, recognizing
the ongoing adverse impact of the pandemic on the community.

CFR 91.520(e) and 24 CFR 92.351(a)
Collier County Community and Human Services (CHS) monitors sub-recipients for compliance
with affirmative marketing requirements by reviewing selection policies, marketing materials,
and property management interviews. Any project using HOME funds must provide a marketing
plan to the CHS office for review prior to approval of a funding agreement. For new
construction, the development entity is responsible for affirmatively marketing the housing
units they develop whether it is special needs or senior housing, or housing targeting low-
income working families.
HOME applicants or awardees who receive funding submit an affirmative marketing plan that
includes the following:
1. Methods for informing the public, owners, and potential tenants about Federal fair housing
laws and their fair housing policy (e.g., use of commercial media, use of community
contacts, use of the Equal Housing Opportunity logo or slogan in press releases, solicitations
to owners, and written communication);
2. Requirements and practices each owner must adhere to in order to carry out affirmative
marketing procedures and requirements.
3. Procedures to be used by owners to inform and solicit applications from persons in the housing
market area who are not likely to apply for the housing without special outreach (e.g., use of
community organizations, places of worship, employment centers, fair housing groups, or housing
counseling agencies);
