Notice of Substantial Amendment t
Collier County’s PY 2021-2025 Consolidated Plans and PY 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan
HOME-ARP Program – Citizen Participation Notice
Collier County is proposing to amend the PY 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan and the PY 2021-2022 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Annual Action Plan. The Board of County Commissioners approved the PY 2021-2025 Consolidated and Annual Action Plans on June 22, 2021 (Agenda Item #16.D.7) and the PY 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan substantial amendment on May 28, 2024 (Agenda Item #16.D.4) to allocate the HOME-ARP activities.
On December 14, 2021 (Agenda #16.D.24), the Board authorized the County Manager to accept the HOME-ARP award of $2,729,078.00 in a one-time allocation from the US Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD). HOME-ARP funding was created to assist individuals or households who are experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness and other vulnerable populations by providing affordable housing, rental assistance, supportive services and non-congregate shelter, to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability. On April 30, 2025, Collier County was notified by HUD of a $4,105.00 increase in its HOME-ARP allocation, bringing the total to $2,733,183.00.
A substantial amendment is necessary because the original subrecipient of HOME-ARP funds has informed the County that their project is unable to meet the qualifying population requirements outlined by the HOME-ARP program, necessitating the reprogramming of those funds. Additionally, the County has received an allocation of additional HOME-ARP funds from HUD, further supporting the need for an amendment.
The following substantial amendment changes are proposed to the PY 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan and the PY 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan (in all areas where the activity description is referenced):
2021 – 2025 Consolidated Plan & 2021 – 2022 Annual Action Plan
