OBJECTIVE: Recommendation to approve the Collier County 5 -Year HUD Consolidated Plan for FY 2011 -2016; One Year HUD Action Plan FY 2011 -2012 and revised Citizen Participation Plan, and to authorize the Chairman to sign the supporting resolution and certifications for submission to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). CONSIDERATIONS: On May 8, 2001 item 8A1 the Board of County Commissioners approved submission of the County's first 5 -Year Consolidated Plan (FY 2001 through 2006) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Upon HUD approval, Collier County became a 14UD Entitlement Community. Entitlement communities develop their own programs and funding priorities, the County is required to continue to adopt and submit subsequent 5 -Year Consolidated Plans. The proposed 5 Year Consolidated Plan (FY2011 ?016), as well as the proposed One -Year Action Plan for FY 2011 -12 are due to HUD by August 15, 2011. The Department of Housing Hunan and Veterans Services (HHVS) is also proposing a revision of the existing County's Citizen Participation ,Plan (CPP) a document within the 5 -Year Consolidated Plan. The proposed CPP would replace the current version which was approved on January 9, 2001 item 16A10. HHVS retained PMG Associates of Deerfield Beach, FL to assist in the information gathering, development, and presentation of the attached documents. Public input was gathered at three (3) public meetings, a phone survey, and 'PMG's contacts directly with non -profit organizations in Collier County. Technical assistance meetings with grant applicants began in the February 2011 and the deadline for receipt of grant applications was April 15, 2011. Projects were scored and ranked in the May -June 2011 timeframe and presented for public comment at the June 13, 2011 meeting of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). AHAC members were provided finalized copies of the plans on 07/18/2011. The main priorities in the new 5 -Year Consolidated Plan are public facilities and infrastructure, maintaining the affordable housing stock, homelessness prevention, and public services for low moderate income citizens. Due to the size of the document a hard copy will be available in the County Managers office and the Board of County Commissioners office and also available on line at the Housing, Human & Veteran Services web site http : / /www.colliergov.net/liousing. A summary of the projects to be funded is attached. FISCAL IMPACT: The combined grant allocation amounts for all Collier County HUD Entitlement programs for 2011 -2012 is expected to be approximately $2,649,863. Actual grant amounts will be finalized once HHVS receives HUD's grant funding letter in the August - September 2011 timeframe. It should be noted, the 2011 -2012 HUD allocation reflects an approximate 16.2% decrease in CDBG funds and a 12.2% decrease in HOME funds to offset HUD's reduced budget. An additional decrease of Packet Page -2161- 7/26/2011 Item 16.D.14. $160,000 in HOME funds is also included. This additional reduction is to reimburse HUD for the Cirrus Pointe Project which was not completed. Approval of this item will have no effect on the general fund. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The proposed projects in the One -Year Action Plan assist in the implementation of the Growth Management Plan by providing housing assistance, economic development and public facilities in the community. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office and is legally sufficient. This item requires a majority vote -JBW. RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation to approve the Collier County 5 -Year HUD Consolidated Plan for FY 2011 -2016; One Year HUD Action Plan FY 2011 -2012 and revised Citizen Participation Plan, and authorize the Chairman to sign the supporting resolution and certifications for submission to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
