Item # 16.D.5
ID# 2025-1370
Executive Summary
Recommendation to adopt a resolution authorizing approval of a substantial amendment to Collier County's U.S
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Annual Action Plans for Program Years 2022-2023, 2023-2024,
and 2024-2025; to reallocate unencumbered Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from various projects
to Immokalee Water & Sewer District (CD24-01) and authorize submission of the substantial amendment to HUD.
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 optimizing
the useful life of public infrastructure through proper maintenance 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, 2023-2024 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), PY 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan on July
11, 2023 (Agenda Item #16.D.3) 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 and PY 2023-2024 on May 28,
2024 (Agenda Item #16.D.4), PY 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 on January 14, 2025 (Agenda Item #16.D.5), PY 2022-
2023 and 2024-2025 on February 11, 2025 (Agenda Item #16.D.6), PY 2022-2023 and PY 2024-2025 on April 8, 2025
(Agenda Item #16.D.5) .
