Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chair to sign three U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Subrecipient Grant Agreements between Collier County and the
following entities to support public service activities: (1) Sunrise Community of Southwest Florida, Inc. ($59,588.10);
(2) Housing Development Corporation of SW Florida, Inc., d/b/a HELP ($125,000.00); and (3) Baker Senior Center

OBJECTIVE: Promote public services for low- to moderate-income citizens of Collier County and further the County’s
strategic plan focus area to support access to health, wellness, and human services.
CONSIDERATIONS: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers entitlement funds in
three different programs to allow local governments to meet program-specific community needs. The Entitlement
program includes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), which funds a wide variety of projects such as public
services, public infrastructure, and public facilities.
On June 22, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the County’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan for
use of entitlement funds for program years (PY’s) 2021-2025 (Agenda Item #16D7). As part of the County’s 5-year
Consolidated Plan, the Community and Human Services (CHS) Division is required to adopt and submit an Annual
Action Plan each year. This is the fifth (5th) year of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan was
developed in accordance with the County’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP).
During PY 2025, Collier County anticipates allocating $2,677,254.00 (including program income) in CDBG funding to
address the priority needs and goals identified in the PY 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan.
The PY 25 Action Plan public notice was advertised on May 22, 2025, in the Naples Daily News. A public hearing was
held on June 5, 2025, with a thirty (30) day comment period beginning June 6, 2025, and ending on July 6, 2025. There
were no public comments received. The Board approved the PY 25 Action Plan on July 8, 2025 (Agenda Item #16D2).
The County’s process for project selection begins with an application cycle annually in January, followed by a
recommendation by the Review and Ranking Committee and conditional approval by the County Manager.
Recommended projects are then outlined and described in the Action Plan and eventually finalized in subrecipient
agreements for activities to be approved by the Board. There may be non-material changes in project descriptions and
scope of service between the initial application, development of the action plan, and finalizing the contractual
agreements presented to the Board for approval.
The annual HUD CDBG Application Cycle commenced on January 7, 2025, with applications due on February 24,
2025. On March 27, 2025, ten (10) applications for grant funding were reviewed and ranked for a final scoring
recommendation. Three (3) applications were selected to receive CDBG Public Services funding. A Review and
Ranking Committee approved by the County Manager’s Office scored the applications and made recommendations for
approval of the presented Grant Agreements.
