Agenda 12/13/2011 Item #16D1312/13/2011 Item 16.D.13.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an amendment to the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-
Housing Program (HPRP) Administrative Plan to allow participating agencies to provide short
term assistance to individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness up to a
maximum of $2,500.
OBJECTIVE: To approve an amendment to the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-
Housing Program (HPRP) Administrative Plan which was approved on February 9, 2010 (item
16D2). This amendment will allow participating agencies to provide short term assistance to
individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness up to a maximum of
$2,500.
CONSIDERATIONS: HPRP is a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant funded
program in which the administrative plan is a required component of compliance. The HPRP
Administrative Plan provides the guidelines for short and medium term assistance for homeless
and at -risk families. Short term assistance is defined as assistance provided for three months or
less. HPRP short term assistance is designed to assist at risk individuals /families who can
demonstrate an ability to remain housed after HPRP assistance is provided. This request will
increase the amount of short term assistance participating agencies can provide from $1,200 to
$2,500 per family. This increase is allowable under HPRP program guidelines. All other
eligibility and program requirements will remain the same. This recommendation will also
assure Collier County meets its compliance obligation to expend HPRP funds by July 15, 2012.
FISCAL IMPACT: Acceptance of this amendment to the HPRP administrative plan will have
no effect on general or grant funds. Remaining funds for HPRP program are available within the
ARRA Grant Fund (125), Project 33070.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Implementation of this amendment to the HPRP
administrative plan will help facilitate efforts to meet the goals, objectives and policies set forth
in the Housing Element of the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is legally sufficient and requires a majority vote. -
