award, the Board will be asked to accept the grant and approve the budget amendment to recognize the
revenue and appropriate the expenditures. There is no match required for this grant. Revenue and
Expenditures will be allocated to the Bayshore CRA Grant Fund (1022) and reconciled in the FY25 Budget.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This is consistent with the CRA’s Redevelopment Plan &
Growth Management Plan and is on the Coastal High Hazard Area designation on the Future Land Use
Map of the GMP.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Due to the grant deadline the BGTCRA Local
Redevelopment Advisory Board reviewed this grant application on May 6, 2025, and voted 8-0 to
recommend approval of the after the fact grant submittal and approved moving forward with the property
purchase.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority
vote for approval. -HFAC

Application Process
Our Grant Application Guide can be found HERE.
Collier County Grant Application Cycle
Collier County is an entitlement grantee and receives funds from the U.S. Department of Urban and Housing
Development (HUD) through three (3) federal programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME
Investment Partnership (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). HUD requires the County complete a Five-Year
Consolidated Plan that includes a housing assessment, market analysis and assessment of community development
needs. The Consolidated Plan is meant to address the needs of low and moderate-income persons and families,
including homeless individuals. It establishes the County’s program priorities, goals and objectives for community
development programs and sets the framework for subsequent one-year action plans that describe specific activities
that will be funded through the County’s grant program.
Collier County receives funds from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC), to administer the SHIP program.
The SHIP program is governed by Chapter 420, Part VII, Florida Statutes and Rule Chapter 67-37 of the Florida
Administrative Code. FHFC requires the County to complete a Three-Year Local Housing Plan (LHAP). The LHAP is
meant to address the needs of extremely low, very low, low and moderate-income persons and families, including
those with Special needs (420.9075(5), F.S.)
Funding Availability
The funding application anticipates the availability of CDBG, HOME, ESG, & HOME-ARP funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development and SHIP funds from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. CHS
will allocate planning and administration and CHS Project Delivery funds prior to funding the remaining balances to
projects for all funding sources, as applicable.

o Rental project must submit a market study demonstrating need for the proposed project. Market studies must follow the County’s guidelines
The CRA annual revenue is based on Tax Increment Finance(TIF) that generates tax increment to sustain the
maintenance needs of the passive park. The increase values of property would be captured within the CRA budget
every year, therefore the viability of the pro-forma would be able to sustain the project. In house staff would
implement the work plan to manage the project and continue maintenance requirements. The Gateway Triangle
Neighborhood SWOT analysis was to identify and complete a passive park within the neighborhood at every
neighborhood meeting conducted in 2023 and 2024 as their priority, the support of the residents and advisory board
has not changed.

objectives. A passive park will add value and support the needs of the Community that have no means of transport
other than walking or biking, the convenient location in the middle of a residential neighborhood has value to those
pedestrians and bicyclists. Our quarterly and annual monitoring reports would assist in meeting the national
objective.
