Executive Summary
Program Year 3 Action Plan Executive Summary:
Collier County Action Plan FY 2008-2009 Program Year
~
Background
Collier County receives federal funds from the U. S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development for three entitlement programs. These programs are
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership
(HOME) and the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) program. Collier County utilizes
State funding from the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program to
leverage and support the federal dollars. SHIP funds, local resources and private
dollars are used as the required HOME and ESG match.
~
I
The main priority in utilizing the limited Federal, State and local funds is providing
housing opportunities for the community's low-income residents. Collier County has
successfully administered five years of HUD entitlement funding and met the
required timeliness test in each of the past five years. Collier continues to expend
nearly 100% of its federal funding on very low and low income beneficiaries.
During the 2008-2009 program year Collier County will receive the following federal
grant funds:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
HOME
American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI)
Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)
$2,324,214
$ 664,349
$ 5,621
$ 95,197
TOTAL Federal Funds:
$3,089,381
(Note: The entitlement cities of Naples and Marco Island will receive $111,802 and
$72,231 respectively in CDBG funding bringing the total county allocation to
$3,089,381)
The County will use these funds federal to implement specific objectives identified in
the required Five-Year Consolidated Plan for 2006-2010 which was adopted by the
BCC on April 25, 2006 by Resolution Number 2006-110.
FY2008 Action Plan
3
Collier County, Florida
The primary objective for utilization of available grant funds will continue to be the
provision of affordable housing opportunities for the very low and low income
residents of Collier County.
Location of Projects
Grant funds are administered on a countywide basis targeted at helping low-income
families become homeowners. In addition, funds are provided for housing
rehabilitation, new housing construction and other activities that will provide
opportunities for individuals and families to have safe, secure and healthy housing.
The County will continue efforts to provide community development improvements in
low-income neighborhoods throughout the community with a special emphasis on
Immokalee and River Park. The County will provide assistance to the homeless and
special needs populations and the organizations that serve them.
1
Project Selection Process
In the fall of each year, the County prepares a timeline for competitive grant
applications and preparation of the annual Action Plan. The timeline released in the
fall of 2007 provided important dates including Grant Application workshops held in
Naples and Immokalee, technical assistance, deadline for submitting competitive
grants, grant scoring and selection deadlines, along with dates for the release of a
draft One-Year Action Plan, 30 days of public comment and workshops and public
hearings. Two grant application workshops were held in October 2007 and
competitive grant applications were due December 3, 2007 for projects to be funded
in the 2008-2009 program year. All agencies were provided with a "cure period" and
final scoring and ranking occurred in February 2008. The County provides for
competitive grant applications at least once a year and the applications are reviewed,
ranked and scored using a specific set of written evaluation criteria. Projects
recommended for funding are presented to the Affordable Housing Commission in
March and to the Board of County Commissioners in April.

General Questions
1. Describe the geographic areas of the jurisdiction (including areas of low income
families and/or racial/minority concentration) in which assistance will be directed
during the next year. Where appropriate, the jurisdiction should estimate the
percentage of funds the jurisdiction plans to dedicate to target areas.
2. Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the
jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) (91.215(a)(1)) during the next year
and the rationale for assigning the priorities.
3. Describe actions that will take place during the next year to address obstacles to
meeting underserved needs.
~
4. Identify the federal, state, and local resources expected to be made available to
address the needs identified in the plan. Federal resources should include
Section 8 funds made available to the jurisdiction, Low-Income Housing Tax
Credits, and competitive McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds
expected to be available to address priority needs and specific objectives
identified in the strategic plan.

Map One displays the 2000 Census Block Groups (subdivisions of Census Tracts)
where more than 51% of the population has incomes below 80% of the Naples MSA's
(Collier County) median family income. Within these areas the County can conduct
CDBG activities on an area-wide benefit basis. As this map shows, the County's low-
income areas continue to be concentrated to the east and south of 1-75.

In 2000, Hispanics, who can be of any race, made up 19.6% of the County's
population. The Hispanic influx into Collier County has followed the larger statewide
influx of Hispanics that occurred during the 1990s throughout Florida. Hispanics now
comprise 17% of the state's population.
As Map Three displays, Hispanics are clustered to the east and south of U.S. Route

Collier County, Florida
2. Basis For Allocating Investments:
Housing
Based upon the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (2006-2010) housing will continue to be
the primary focus of the County's CDBG and HOME programs. Low-income families
(earning below 80% of the median income) face challenges in the Collier County's
housing market. They will continue to receive priority from the County's affordable
housing rental and ownership programs. All housing programs operate countywide.
Homeless
The County's priorities were developed in conjunction with the Collier County Hunger
& Homeless Coalition. The Coalition's HUD-required 'Continuum of Care' priorities are
homeless prevention, families with children, chronic homeless and the development
of additional shelter beds and transitional and permanent housing. The homeless
programs operate countywide.
I
i
The Collier County Health Department, through the State of Florida, provides HOPWA
services for AIDS/HIV residents of Collier County. The County supports this
program.
Non-Homeless Special Needs
The County will continue to support the provision of supportive housing for persons
with special needs on a countywide basis.
,
Community Development
The County will continue to support the revitalization of its low-income
neighborhoods. Efforts will continue to have Immokalee and other low income areas
designated as Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas (NRSA) where appropriate
and supported by the community.
~
I
3. Obstacles To Meeting Underserved Needs:
The major obstacle to meeting the County's underserved needs will continue to be
the reduction of federal/state support, which has decreased over time as all areas of
government continue to reduce funding for low income housing and community
development initiatives.
In response to this obstacle, the County has enacted a number of local programs
designed to increase the supply of affordable housing including density bonus,
impact fee deferrals and expedited permitting. The County is also exploring efforts
like inclusionary zoning, community land trust, linkage fees, and other initiatives to
support the production of affordable housing.
4. Identify Federal, State, And Local Resources:
Federal resources will include CDBG and HOME. State funds available in 2008-2009
will include the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds and Disaster
Recovery Initiative resources. Locally Collier County provides $750,000 annually for
the deferral of water and sewer impact fees for income qualified homebuyers. All
nonprofit and for profit partners are encouraged to provide private resources to
leverage federal and state dollars. In 2008-2009, agencies receiving CDBG, HOME
and ESG funds have committed over $7,691,000 in match or leverage.

organizations from for profit housing developers to nonprofit service providers.
During the coming year the County will continue to work with its existing institutional
structure of housing and service providers to make small, continuous improvements
to the process. As Collier grows and new entities express interest in the housing and
community development needs of the very-low to moderate income residents, these
individuals and organizations will be encouraged to participate on a variety of levels.
This may include encouraging new Community Housing Development Organizations
(CHDOs) to providing increased technical assistance (TA) to grassroots, non profits
participating in the planning process for the first time.

The County follows procedures as specified in applicable regulations and, specifically,
those detailed in Title X. The Department and its representatives provide all required
notifications to owners and occupants and inspect for defective paint surfaces of pre-
1978 properties. Any defective paint conditions found are included in the scope of
work and treatment provided to the defective areas. No children under 7 years of
age have been found to have identified Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level
(EIBLL) condition; however, interior chewable surfaces are treated as necessary. All
Department policies and procedures have been revised to conform to Title X. County
staff members are HUD certified as Risk Assessors. The County retains EPA certified
inspectors to conduct the testing and clearance of suspect properties.
In every program where federal funds are expended on a housing unit, the County

I
Barriers to Affordable Housing:
The County has completed its state-mandated Regulatory Reduction Review. The
County's Affordable Housing Commission is available to review proposed regulations
for their impact on affordable housing, and provide guidance on a range of incentives
for the provision of affordable housing. The Affordable Housing Commission (AHC)
also provides oversight of the state-mandated Growth Management Plan's Housing
Element. The monthly AHC meetings include discussions on the barriers/solutions
including the high cost of land, community land trusts, inventory of excess County-
owned property, expedited permit processing and other issues that affect the ability
to produce affordable workforce housing in Collier County.
The County will continue to evaluate concepts like linkage fees, inclusionary zoning
and other incentive packages in 2008-2009.
In addition, the current situation in the housing market has forced many banks to
tighten lending standards and curtail lending. Banks now require a larger down
payment. Also, the current economy has further strained household Incomes due to
a higher cost of living. This increase in the cost of living has negatively impacted
buyers' ability to qualify for home loans.

b) Outreach
Outreach to publicly assisted tenants will be provided by working with the local PHA
to provide homeownership workshops. The housing authorities' staff will be asked to
identify viable homeownership candidates (income level, rent payment record, etc.)
for special workshops. County staff will also review and discuss the CCHA's initiatives
under the Housing Choice Voucher Program to identify opportunities for program and
benefit coordination including Habitat for Humanity and other alternatives. The
Housing Authority currently refers potential homeowners to the local Habitat for
Humanity.
~

Outreach to residents of mobile home parks will be explored. The County will
attempt to identify mobile home communities in the County in which the home sites
are rented. These residents will be provided information about the first-time
homebuyer program. If there is sufficient response, meetings and counseling will be
delivered for these clients. The County will provide information on first time
homebuyer programs to individuals who may qualify for purchase assistance.
c) Provisions to Ensure Suitability for Homeownership
It is a challenge to attempt to ensure the success of homeownership programs. In
order to help ensure the SUitability of families to undertaken and maintain
homeownership, counseling is provided to all households that are approved for
County purchase assistance. The County will continue to improve and upgrade its
housing counseling programs in conjunction with local CHDOs and non profits as well
as housing developers.
For homeownership retention, the County coordinates with local resources including
the Legal Aid Services of Collier County foreclosure task force and nonprofit
organizations to assist low-income owners remain in their homes.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
~
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAMS
CDBG, HOME and State SHIP resources provide Collier County with the means to
assist low income residents with the purchase of housing and the rehabilitation of
substandard housing for homeowners with incomes of 80% or less than the county
median income. The Housing and Human Services Department uses SHIP funds to
match applicable federal dollars for its general housing rehabilitation program and
homeownership programs. All of Collier County's affordable housing programs are
based on a first-come, first-served basis, with preference given to residents of
targeted neighborhoods, the elderly and disabled residents and those with
emergency/life-threatening situations. All affordable housing programs conform to
specific CDBG, HOME and SHIP regulations. CDBG funds are also spent on
infrastructure support (water & sewer line installation, sidewalks, entry roads & site
preparations) for affordable housing developments.
I
,
d
I
Land Acquisition
CDBG funds will be used by the County as leverage to assist in the
development of affordable housing. This use of cDBG funds meets
the number one priority of the County 5-Year Consolidated Plan
to support the provision of affordable housing for its low-
income (below 50% of MFI) working poor residents. CDBG funds
will be used to install infrastructure to support specific affordable
housing projects. The County will continue to work with nonprofit
affordable housing developers, CHDOs, and CBDOs to rehabilitate
and/or construct new affordable housing.
Housing Rehabilitation Assistance
CDBG, HOME and SHIP funds will be used to maintain affordable
housing by assisting approximately 17 low-income homeowners with
the rehabilitation of their home. The average amount of rehabilitation
assistance is $30,000 per residence. Assistance of this program is
secured by a 15 year, amortizing, forgivable deferred mortgage for the
SHIP program. Under the HOME program, there is a 5 year,
amortizing, forgivable deferred mortgage if the loan is less than
$15,000, and a 10 year, amortizing, forgivable deferred mortgage for a
loan between $15,000 and $40,000. The loans are in compliance as
long as the original owner continues to occupy the rehabilitated units
for the full term of the forgivable deferred mortgage. No interest shall
accrue and no monthly payments are required. Upon a sale,
refinancing, or transfer of title occurs during the mortgage period, the
amortized amount of assistance is due without interest. Homes

receiving rehab assistance through the HOME program will be subject
to the recapture provisions.
Down Payment Assistance
ADD! and SHIP funds will be used for affordable housing by assisting
approximately 49 low and moderate-income first-time homebuyer
families with down payment/closing cost assistance. The maximum
ADDI assistance is a grant of $10,000. The SHIP program provides
down payment of up to fifteen percent of the purchase price of the
home. The maximum sales price of a home cannot exceed $300,000
(SHIP cap).
I
l
A mortgage and promissory secure this program. Neither interest nor
payments are made as long as the property is homesteaded and used
as the original purchaser's primary residence. If a sale, refinancing, or
transfer of title occurs; or the property is not used as the homebuyer's
permanent residence during the County's mortgage term, the mortgage
becomes immediately due and payable.
I
Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO)
HOME funds will be used to support the affordable housing activities of
CHDOs serving Collier County. The County, as a participating
jurisdiction (P]), must invest or set aside at least 15 percent (15%) of
its total HOME allocation to projects that are owned, developed or
sponsored by Community Housing Development Organizations
(CHDOs), and which result in the development of homeownership or
rental units. Additionally, the County may allocate up to five percent
(5%) of its total allocation as CHDO operating funds, and may provide
these funds to CHDOs to help them pay operating costs and build their
capacity to develop successful affordable housing projects and
programs.
J
I
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are utilized countywide for a
variety of housing and community development activities. Collier County's CDBG
activities have generated very little program income. There is no program income
anticipated in 2008-2009. At such time as program income is received, it will be
reported and expended in compliance with HUD regulations.
The County does not have urban renewal funds and has not returned any CDBG
funds to its line of credit. In addition, there are no float funded activities or income.
There are no activities designed to meet "urgent needs" at the present time. The
Citizen Participation Plan will address the need for the Board of County
Commissioners to declare an urgent need or disaster in the event that conditions
would occur that pose a serious threat to the health, safety and welfare of the
community
HOME
Collier County intends to provide HOME funds on a community wide basis. However,
the County may also elect to target HOME resources to specific geographic areas,
concentrations of low-income residents, NRSAs or other appropriate locations. HOME
funds that are provided as a direct subsidy to a homebuyer, such as downpayment
and closing cost assistance, will be recaptured upon sale, refinance or loss of

homestead exemption. This policy exists for housing assisted with State SHIP funds
and federal HOME resources. The recapture provisions are outlined in contractual
agreements with the recipient of SHIP and HOME funds. The HOME recapture
provisions comply with 92.254 (5) (ii).
When HOME funds are used as a developer subsidy, as in the construction of multiple
housing units or acquisition and rehab, the resale provisions will apply in accordance
with 92.254 (5) (i). The period of affordability, resale, recertification, match and
other HOME requirements are outlined in the contractual agreement with the
developer requesting financial assistance from Collier County.
!
The County does not intend to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing
that may be rehabilitated with HOME funds. Collier County will not use HOME funds
to refinance multifamily loans made or insured by any Federal program, including
CDBG in accordance with 91.220(g) (2) (F).
~
ADDI (91.220 (g) (2) (iv))
Collier County will use ADDI funds to assist very low to low income and minority
households become homeowners. ADDI will be utilized for down payment and closing
cost assistance. ADDI funds will be utilized community wide. The County may also
determine that ADD! can be used in targeted areas including the rural communities
of Copeland/Lee Cypress and Immokalee.
A plan for conducting targeted outreach will be developed and include coordination
with local churches, the minority community including organizations such as the
NAACP and the Southwest Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Collier
County Housing Authority and residents of older, mobile home parks located
throughout Collier County.
I
As with other down payment programs, the County will coordinate with the Collier
County Loan Consortium and the Collier County Housing Development Corporation,
Consumer Credit Counseling and other groups to assist potential first-time
homebuyers prepare, undertake and maintain homeownership. This may take the
form of debt reduction, budgeting and financial counseling, homebuyer education
workshops, after purchase education on home maintenance, and other important
issues to help ensure homeownership stability.
~
When ADD! funds are used for down payment and closing cost assistance, a
recapture provision upon sale, refinance or loss of homestead exemption will be
instituted in conjunction with the HOME and State SHIP guidelines. The recapture
provisions are outlined in contractual agreements with recipients of SHIP, HOME and
ADDI funds.

1. Source Of Funds:
The County receives Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds from HUD. The required
match for these funds is provided by the subrecipient.
The County has three emergency shelters that qualify for ESG funds and the funds
have been earmarked for each agency to receive on a rotating basis. In 2008-2009,
ESG funds will be provided to the Saint Matthews House.
As the Lead Agency, the county submits an application for Continuum of Care (CoC)
funding on behalf of the CoCO In 2008, two (2) agencies will receive funding as the
result of continuing funding. A total of $217,645 will be available as follows:
Shelter for Abused Women & Children
HMIS expansion renewal
$113,000
$104,645

4. Homeless Prevention:
The County's Department of Housing & Human Services provides financial assistance
and coordination with a variety of agencies to families and individuals at risk of
becoming homeless. The Housing & Human Services office encourages local
agencies to refer families to the State of Florida Emergency Financial Assistance for
Housing Program (EFAHP) which provides up to $400 in emergency housing
assistance for families with children who are at risk of homelessness. Youth Haven's
proposed project for this year will focus on preventing families from becoming
homeless.
As Lead Agency, the County also coordinates with nonprofits on an annual
application to the State for Challenge grant funds which can be used for homeless
prevention services.
Additional funding sources are needed to address the increased demand for
homeless prevention services. The Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) is provided to
the three local shelter providers on a rotating basis.
Six (6) local nonprofits currently participate in the Homeless Management
Information System (HMIS) known as INCCC.
s. Discharge Coordination Strategy:
The Hunger & Homeless Coalition works with local law enforcement officials, as well

1. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to reduce the
number of poverty level families.
Program Year 3 Action Plan Antipoverty Strategy response:
~
1. Antipoverty St,ategy:
Most activities undertaken by Collier County with its entitlement funds are efforts to
improve the quality of life for those living at or near poverty. Collier County has
three (3) initiatives designed to reduce unemployment and increase economic
opportunities for its poverty level residents.
First, through its partnership with the Economic Development Council, the County
has an ongoing economic development program. This plan is designed to both attract
new businesses to the County and to help existing businesses expand. One of the
goals of this public/private partnership is to increase the number of high wage
paying new jobs.
J
Second, as an important component of this economic development effort, is the
County and EDC's partnership with Florida Gulf Coast University's Small Business
Development Center (SBDC) which teaches potential business owners how to
successfully start a new company. An additional partnership includes the customized
job training programs provided by Collier County Public School's Lorenzo Walker
Institute of Technology (LWIT) that train low income residents (most of whom are
unemployed or underemployed) to take specific jobs at new or expanding programs.
I
Third, the County has two community redevelopment areas (CRA), the
Gateway/Bayshore CRA and the Immokalee CRA, where it is actively seeking to
redevelop these older communities. A third CRA is located within the City of Naples.
Collectively, these efforts represent a realistic countywide antipoverty strategy.
FY2008 Action Plan

Collier County, Florida
2. Extant Strategy Will Reduce Poverty:
Collier County's economy is centered on tourism, construction, services, retail and
agriculture. The local economy has historically focused on tourism and services to
benefit the affluent residents and visitors. The County's current strategy is designed
to increase the number of better paying jobs and prepare the County's workforce to
be qualified to fill higher wage paying jobs. Job training/education and a more
diverse employment base will help reduce the poverty level.

Following a Plan -- It is following a current consolidated plan (or Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy) that has been approved by HUD.
!
Use of Funds -- It has complied with the following criteria:
I
1. Maximum Feasible Priority. With respect to activities expected to be
assisted with CDBG funds, it certifies that it has developed its Action
Plan so as to give maximum feasible priority to activities which benefit
low and moderate income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of
slums or blight. The Action Plan may also include activities which the
grantee certifies are designed to meet other community development needs
having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and
immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community, and other
financial resources are not available);

2. Overall Benef~t. The aggregate use of CDBG funds including section 108

or assessment made as a condition of obtaining access to such public
improvements. However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a
fee or assessment that relates to the capital costs of public improvements
(assisted in part with CDBG funds) financed from other revenue sources, an
assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the
public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.
I
The jurisdiction will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public
improvements assisted with CDBG funds, including Section 108, unless CDBG
funds are used to pay the proportion of fee or assessment attributable to
the capital costs of public improvements financed from other revenue
sources. In this case, an assessment or charge may be made against the
property with respect to the public improvements financed by a source other
than CDBG funds. Also, in the case of properties owned and occupied by
moderate-income (not low-income) families, an assessment or charge may be
made against the property for public improvements financed by a source
other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks CDBG
funds to cover the assessment.
Excessive Force -- It has adopted and is enforcing:
1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies
within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent
civil rights demonstrations; and
2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically
barring entrance to or exit from a facility or location which is the
subject of such non-violent civil rights demonstrations within its
jurisdiction;
Compliance With Anti-discrimination laws -- The grant will be conducted and
administered in conformity with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 OSC
2000d), the Fair Housing Act (42 OSC 3601-3619), and implementing regulations.

I. In 2007 the Collier Countv Hunaer and Homeless Coalition initiated a new prooram to assist individuals
and families at-risk of homelessness. The Partnership for Prevention Initiative is a collaborative project
between the Coalition and local social service aoencies. The proiect provides much needed rental
assistance and supoortive services in Collier County for clients al41sk of homelessness. I ask that the
Prevention Initiative be included in the Homeless section of the Action Plan.
If '';.. _~:

II. The number one Priority that emerced from the 2008 Gap Analvilrs whducted bv the C. C. Hunoer and
Homeless Coalition was Affordable Housino or Rental subsidies. T~e Coalition would like the Action Plan
to include TBRA fundino to respond to this critical need in our County.

III. Collier County Hunoer and Homeless Coalition submitted a proposal for CDBG fundino for the
Homeless Manaoement Information System. IHMISl proiect. We scored 80 out of a possible 120 points
initiallv. We then submitted a response to the one item of information that was reauested to raise our score
durino the cure period. The Coalition received a denial letter statino aoain that we scored 80 out of 120
points and the letter suooested that I work with staff in developino a more competitive application because
technical assistance is alwavs available. Mv concern is that I did schedule an appointment with the Countv

resioned earlier that day. Our oroanization did not receive the services noted in the letter from Collier
Countv Housino and Human Services.

SUBJECT: Public Comment on draft 2008-2009 HUD One-Year Action Plan
Dear Commissioner Henning:
,
I
The Housing and Human Services Department has recently prepared a HUD One-Year Action
Plan which the BCC will review on April 22, 2008. This HUD required document has very
specific requirements regarding the importance of soliciting and encouraging public input. The
document must be made available to the public for a 3O-day review and comment period. HUD
encourages communities to make the Action Plan, Consolidated Plan, CAPER and other
documents available to citizens through a variety of avenues.
,
J
I
I was informed by an acquaintance that there would be a public meeting on March 28, 2008 to
discuss the draft One-Year Action Plan. I attended the meeting but the staff did not have
copies of the draft plan to distribute to the public. I asked if the Action Plan was available on
the County's website as I had not been able to locate the document on line. Staff indicated that
they would place the Action Plan on line. However, as recently as April 7, 2008 the document
was not available on line. I was told today, April 10th, that the draft 2008-2009 Action Plan was
now online. Unfortunately, the 3O-day public comment period ends on April 14, 2008 so some
concerned residents have not had sufficient time to review the draft plan. The plan should have
been placed on-line in early March when it was presented to the Affordable Housing
Commission. In addition, communication regarding the draft plan availability and public
comment period should be shared with local non-profit, social service organizations such as the
Collier County Hunger & Homeless Coalition and the Immokalee Interagency.
HUD encourages local jurisdictions to support and nurture small, local grassroots organizations
that can assist the community in addressing the needs of the very low to low income residents.
Collier County has histOrically focused its efforts on a wide range of affordable housing
initiatives including new housing construction, housing rehabilitation and temporary rental
assistance known as TBRA. This year's draft Action Plan continues the focus on housing
initiatives with the exception of the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program (TBRA) which the
staff has not recommended for funding. TBRA is a program that has been identified by local
social service agencies as a much needed service for very low income, special needs and at-
risk citizens.
I have had a limited amount of time tonight to review the draft document but have identified
some items that I believe County staff should clarify before submittal to HUD.
. The Habitat for Humanity project sheet shows a CDBG grant award of $441,894 which does
not match the $900,000 allocation on page 4.
. The Lane Mark Townhomes at Esperanza project sheet shows its location as Immokalee
but it is proposed for construction in southeast Naples.
. There is no project information sheet for the HOME CHDO set-aside of $99,653.
. There is no project information sheet for the $100,000 for Collier County Housing & Human
Services Senior program.
. The County's housing rehab program project sheet indicates that they will utilize $252,261
in HOME funds to rehab five (5) dwelling units. This is housing rehabilitation of over
$50,000 per home which seems excessive. Is this an error?
~
. I am sure that staff will be able to correct and clarify the issues addressed above prior to their
presentation to the BCC and submittal to HUD. I would encourage the County to identify
multiple methods of communicating the availability of the Action Plan, Consolidated Plan,
CAPER and other documents in order to ensure that citizens have the minimum required time
to review draft documents and provide public comment. Full utilization should be O1ade of the
County's website, email distribution lists, County Channel 11 and other methods to reach
interested residents.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment on this draft document.

you are the previous COlUlty employee that was in charge of this program for the

Responses to your specific questions are outlined below:
I
J
I. The FY 2008-2009 Draft Action Plan was distributed at the Affordable Housing
Commission meeting on March 14, 2008, and made available to the public at aJI
Collier COlUlty libraries and at the offices of The Housing and Human Services
Department at that time. On March 13, 2008, !J1lad.announcing the plan was
published in the linmokalee Bulletin in both English and Spanish. An ad for the
Action Plan was aJso published in the Naples Daily News on March 12,2008. As
outlined in the Collier County 5- Y ear Strategic Plan, the Action Plan was aJso
posted to the county's website during the public participation period. Twenty-three
(23) copies of the Draft Action Plan were distributed to citizens and non-profit
agencies who requested them during the comment period.
I
2. The Project Selection Committee did consider Collier County Housing Authority's
(CCHA) request for TBRA funding. However, their project was not funded due to
CCHA's inability to provide match funding for their project. This issue was
addressed during the cure period. In the meanwhile, H&HS expects CCHA to fully
expend their FY2006-2007 funding and begin use of their FY2007-2008 TBRA
funding. CCHA will be also able to reapply for federal funding in the new
application cycle which will begin this FaJl.
3. The H&HS Senior Services projectinformation sheet follows at the project sheet
for the Shelter for Abused Women and Children at CD08-12.
4. The $99,653 CHDO Set Aside was subsequently awarded to the Empowerment
Alliance of Southwest Florida and will be included in the final draft to the BCC.
5. Corrections as to the location of Lane Mark Townhouses at Esperanza Place had
already been made in other drafts.
6. Correction to the proj ect sheet for Habitat for Humanity had already been made to
reflect $900,000 in CDBG funding.
;
7. The $252,261 in HOME funds for housing rehabilitation is for a minimum of5
homes, but the exact number of homes and funding per house will not be
determined until actual rehab projects are identified. H&HS staff would rather be
conservative in the number of houses they will be able to rehabilitate than overstate
their estimates.

8. H&HS staff have utilized methods to inform the public of the Action Plan
comment period which are consistent with legal notices posted by the County and
with the Citizen Participation Plan adopted by the Board of County
. Commissioners.

Re: One-year Action Plan FY 2008-2009
Dear Board of Commissioners:
When the 5-Year (2006-20W) Consolidated Plan was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners it
set forth the county's affordable housing and community development five-year funding objectives,
which evolved from the needs that were identified through the critical affordable housing issues the
county was facing and through the citizen participation process. Two objectives id~ntified as high
priorities were the "working poor" families making below 50% of the median income and the homeless,
both which were also priorities in the two subsequent annual plans (2006-07 and 2007-08).
I
')
Collier County is a member of the Collier County Hunger & Homeless Coalition (CCHHC) and is the
lead agency for the Continuum of Care (CoC). As a member the county contributed to the development
of the CoC's 10-year plan and objectives to end chronic homelessness and move families and individuals
to permanent housing. One of the local action steps was to increase the number of Tenant Based Rental
Assistance (TBRA) vouchers. In the 2008 Gap, Analysis conducted by the CCHHC the number one
priority was affordable housing or rental subsidies.
,
My comments are focused on the following three issues:
(1.) N~ provision for providing rental subsidies for the homeless individuals/families.
'.1
U
In December 2007, the Public Housing Authority (PHA) submitted an application for HOME
funding for the continuation of the TBRA program. We scored a preliminary score of 103 points
out of a possible 120. The application deficiency noted was the lack of a total 25% non-federal
funds match. In all my review of HUD regulations it clearly states that the local participating
jurisdiction is the entity required to provide the 25% match. In fact, the required match has
been provided utilizing the state SHIP funds as the local HOME match. This is stated in the 5-
year consolidated plan and subsequent one year action plans. However, with the limited
funding resources available it is clearly understood why Collier County has made a matching
contribution part of the evaluation criteria for funding requests. The maximum points that an
applicant may receive for providing a match are 20 points. The evaluation procedures do not
specify that an agency will not be funded if a matching contribution is not provided. As a
government agency the PHA does not have unrestricted funds to provide a maximum match
contribution. In the application it states... "All applicants are encouraged to provide a matching
and/or leverage funds. Matchlleverage will impact the application,.," For the PHA applications that
I
Collier (DWltv HousilJ~ .\uthorit\ . 1;.:/l0 F~I nll Wnr"lrpl' \'(/'I\! . 1'""",[.,_1 In" [:1",.;,1... '!,~ 1/;'1
!']"i\\{r,"{I."
",v {"'''', (,-..., -'"","
were submitted in past cycles, a match contribution has been made using the value of office
space and the expenses associated to the administration of the TBRA Program. The available
funds that could be used towards this initiative are Section 8 reserves, which are federal funds
and cannot be counted as match? Since SHIP funds have'always been used for the required local
match the agencies were not penalized in terms of not receiving funding for not providing a full
25% match, instead it impacted their scoring which funding awards were based. The concept of
using SHIP funds as the local required match is acceptable and is used by other local
participating jurisdictions, i.e., Orange County, who contracts out their TBRA program.
(2.) The process of funding awards.
I will need to provide some history so there is a good understanding of my concern.
'1
In 2003, the PHA was approached to administer the county's pilot TBRA Program, modeling the
Section 8 H<;lUsing Choice Voucher (HVC) Program, to specifically target the homeless and
nearly homeless population in the county and to meet the objectives of the previous 5-year plan
(2001-2005). Advantages of the partnership were that the PHA had the infrastructure to run and
manage this type of program; are familiar with the regulations, we are experienced in screening
eligibility using HUD income limits and conducting re-certifications and housing quality
inspections and an established relationship with local landlords county-wide. This did not
prohibit the County from contracting with other agencies to provide this service.
8
,
~
For the 2004-2005 funding allocation the PHA was asked to competitively apply for the
HOME funds. Due to the critical need for this type of rental assistance we have submitted an
application each year for the continuation of the TBRA Program despite the challenges. From
2004 to October 2007, a total of 74 homeless individuals/families have been served; 3 in
[mmokalee and 71 in other parts of the county. Projects that have closed out have received good
reports. Open projects are the result of the program flexibility in providing rental subsidy for
eligible individual households for two years. The PHA is not permitted to spend new funding
allocations concurrently until the previous funding allocation is spent, which can be two years or
more depending on the turnover of participants.
I
[n the preliminary scores released of the 23 applications received this funding cycle, the PHA
scored higher than 16 of the applications. Several of the lower scoring applications received
funding. Even if the PHA application lost points for not providing a full match, we scored high
enough to receive funding to continue to assist the homeless.
(3.) Citizen participation.
[n previous years the one-year action plan and any notices of public hearings for the 'plan have
always been made available and sent directly to the PHA. The collaboration that should exist
between the local jurisdiction and the local PHA is clearly defined in the framework of the plans.
The action plan was presented to the Affordable Housing Commission on March 13, 2008. The
advertised notice was for the commission meeting only. In checking the county website under
news releases of meetings I find no record of when the advertised noticed was published on the
availability of the plan for 30 days for public comment. It is my understanding that a public
meeting was held March 28, 2008 for public comment on the one-year action plan at CDES.
Again, I find no record under news releases of a public meeting on the county website.
There is a tremendous need for rental subsidies in Collier County for low-income families in Collier
County, evident by the 619 families on the Section 8 Program waiting list. Funding for the Section 8 HCV
Program continues to be questionable each year. So it is with a sincere desire that steps should be taken
to ensure the needs of the working poor and homeless in Collier County are not forgotten.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment.

Dear Ms. Serrata:
,
Thank you for your input for the FY 2008-2009 Action Plan. Responses to your specific
questions are outlined below:
Ybur comments regarding match funds for HOME projects have been noted; while SHIP
funds were used in the past; their use was done so improperly and resulted in an audit
finding (2006-07). Any match from the County's SHIP funds would reduce the funding
for another program since these match funds must be segregated. HOME match funds
may be requested of sub-recipients and may be in the form o( sweat equity, donations of
cash or property, professional services, equipment or labor. In your response to H&HS'
cure letter you indicated you could contribute nothing for the match.
J
I
Currently CCRA still has approximately $170,000 remaining funds from the FY 2006-
2007 cycle and has not began to use $330,000 in FY 2007-2008 funds. Given this current
rate of draw downs, CCRA should be able to apply for FY 2009-2010 funding before
expending all approved funding.
The agendas for both the February 14 and the March 13 Affordable Housing Commission
Meeting listed the Action Plan as a topic of discussion and were posted in accordance to
public meeting announcement protocol. Copies of the plan were distributed to both AHC
members as weil as the attending public just prior to your leaving the meeting. The FY
2008-2009 Draft Action Plan was distributed at the Affordable Housing Commission
meeting on March 13,2008, and made available to the public at all Collier County
libraries and at the offices of The Housing and Human Services Department at that time.
On March 13, 2008, an ad announcing the plan was published in the Immokalee Bulletin
in both English and Spanish. An ad for the Action Plan was also published in the Naples
Daily News on March 12,2008. As outlined in the Collier County 5- Y ear Consolidated
