OBJECTIVE: To maintain compliance with federal regulations that allow for the acceptance and use of federal U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development entitlement funds to advance the County’s strategic plan by fostering comprehensive affordable housing opportunities for low- to moderate-income households of Collier County. CONSIDERATIONS: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides entitlement funds to local governments to meet program-specific community needs. Entitlement programs include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). Community and Human Services (CHS) staff have recently identified changes to various activities to better address community needs. HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 91.505 require amendments to Annual Action Plans whenever there is a change in the allocation priorities or method of distributing funds presented in the plan; a change in the use of funds to an activity not described in the Annual Action Plan; or a change in the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity. Collier County is proposing to amend Program Years (PY): 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Annual Action Plans. The Board of County Commissioners approved the PY 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan on June 28, 2022 (Agenda Item #16.D.4) and PY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan on July 23, 2024 (Agenda Item #16.D.4). The Board of County Commissioners approved substantial amendments for PY 2022-2023 on May 28, 2024 (Agenda Item #16.D.4), for PY 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 on February 11, 2025 (Agenda Item #16.D.6), and PY 2024-2025 on January 14, 2025 (Agenda Item #16.D.5). A substantial amendment to an Action Plan or Consolidated Plan requires advertising and a 30-day public comment period. The required notice was published in the Naples Daily News on February 26, 2025. The advertisement identified a 30-day public comment period from February 27, 2025, to March 27, 2025. On March 13, 2025, a public hearing was held to address the proposed actions, and no comments were received on this item. To meet required HUD expenditure deadlines, a substantial amendment is necessary to reallocate HOME funds in the PY 2022-2023 and PY 2024-2025 HUD Annual Action Plans (AAP). To reallocate these funds amongst program years, the following changes, to include the addition of project delivery costs, are proposed to the PY2022 and PY2024 Annual Action Plans (in all areas where the activity description is referenced).
