Details:
Collier County is an entitlement grantee and receives funds from the U.S. Department of Urban and Housing Development (HUD) through three (3) federal programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG). HUD requires the County complete a Five-Year Consolidated Plan that includes a housing assessment, market analysis and assessment of community development needs. The Consolidated Plan is meant to address the needs of low and moderate-income persons and families, including homeless individuals. It establishes the County’s program priorities, goals and objectives for community development programs and sets the framework for subsequent one year action plans that describe specific activities that will be funded through the County’s grant program.
Collier County receives funds from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC), to administer the SHIP program. The SHIP program is governed by Chapter 420, Part VII, Florida Statutes and Rule Chapter 67-37 of the Florida Administrative Code. FHFC requires the County to complete a Three-Year Local Housing Plan (LHAP). The LHAP is meant to address the needs of extremely low, very low, low and moderate-income persons and families, including those with Special needs (420.9075(5), F.S.).
Federal CDBG, HOME, HOME-ARP, and ESG funding totaling approximately $3,800,000 may be available in the 2022-2023 cycle. State SHIP funds totaling approximately $1,170,000, if allocated, will also be included in this grant application cycle. Funding amounts are subject to change based on actual amounts awarded from grantor agencies and availability of funds. Awards made under SHIP may only be used to support homeowner strategies such as Purchase Assistance, Housing Rehabilitation, Demolition and New Construction Assistance.
