Program FY15 /16 allocation in the amount of $1,636,466 and sign the Fiscal Year 2015 -2016

OBJECTIVE: To support housing affordability in Collier County.
CONSIDERATIONS: The State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP), created by the passage
of the 1992 William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act, receives funds from a population -based
formula. Funding is designated by a specific percentage of statewide documentary stamp tax revenues
each year. The SHIP program provides funds to local governments as an incentive to create partnerships
that produce and preserve affordable homeownership and multi - family housing. SHIP funds may be used
to fund emergency repairs, new construction, rehabilitation, down payment and closing cost assistance,
impact fees, construction, and gap financing, mortgage buy- downs, acquisition of property for affordable
housing, matching dollars for federal housing grants and programs, and homeownership counseling.
Through an interlocal agreement with the City of Naples, the County implements the SHIP program
within the City limits and the City is considered a partner in receipt of SHIP funds.
Collier County has been allocated a total of $1,636,466 of state fiscal year 2015 -2016 State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funding which includes the City of Naples allocation of $94,915.00. These
funds are to be used to implement SHIP program strategies outlined in the 2013 -2016 Local Housing
Assistance Plan (LHAP) that was approved by the Board on April 23, 2013, (16.D.5) and amended on
April 8, 2014 (16.D.1) and have an expenditure deadline of June 30, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $1,636,466 are available from Florida Housing Finance
Corporation. A budget amendment in the amount of $1,636,466 is required in the SHIP Grant Fund 791,
Project 33429. $163,646.60 of 10% of the funds will be used for administrative costs.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved for form and legality and requires a
majority vote for Board approval. - JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Acceptance of these funds will allow the County to expand
affordable housing opportunities for its citizens and further the goals of the Housing Element of the
Collier County Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the acceptance of the FY
15 -16 SHIP allocation and authorizes the chair to sign the FY 2015 -2016 Funding Certification form.

Legislative Proviso Language
From the funds in Specific Appropriation 2241, each local government must use a minimum of 20 percent
of its allocation to serve persons with special needs as defined in section 420.0004, Florida Statutes.
Before this portion of the allocation is released by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC), a
local government must certify that it will meet this requirement through existing approved strategies in
the local assistance plan or submit a new local housing assistance plan strategy for this purpose to the
FHFC for approval to ensure that it meets these specifications. The first priority of these special needs
funds must be to serve persons with developmental disabilities as defined in section 393.063, Florida
Statutes, with an emphasis on home modifications, including technological enhancements and devices,

which will allow homeowners to remain independent in their own homes and maintain their
