RE: Notification of Amendment of Prior Year Action Plans and Reprogramming of Funds
Dear Ms. Ortiz-Hill:
Collier County has recently identified funds from prior year Action Plans for projects that were
either completed under budget or became ineligible for funding, A total of
$1,688,722.42 of CDBG funding has been identified for reprogramming. Collier County has
detennined that the county's low income residents/families as well as the community as a whole
would greatly benefit from a program which would acquire land and foreclosed homes;
rehabilitate them, and resell the homes to income qualified buyers with a subsidy or restriction to
maintain the home's affordability for income qualified individuals.
This amendment of previous Action Plans was advertised in two (2) local papers of general
circulation in both English and Spanish. A 30 day public comment period announcing the
proposed reprogramming began on August 8, 2008 and closed on September 8, 2008. The
amendment and reprogramming of funds was approved at the September 9, 2008 regular meeting
of the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCe).
We believe this program will assist our citizens to find decent, affordable housing, prevent blight,
and preserve our communities during the current economic downturn.
A listing of the reprogrammed funds is attached for your records. Shouid you have any questions
on these amendments, or the proposed use of CDBG funds, please contact
Ms, Marcy Krumbine, Director of the Housing and Human Services Department at
239-252-4663 (HOME).
Sincerely,
Tom Henning
Chairman
Collier County Board of County Commissioners
