Executive Summary
AP -05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The County of Hawai'i is required to submit a Consolidated Plan (CP) to the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) in order to receive its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds. The purpose of the County's CP is to ensure that jurisdictions receiving direct federal assistance
utilize and develop a plan for its housing and related needs of very low-, low-, and moderate -income
families in a way that improves the availability and affordability of decent, safe and sanitary housing
within a suitable living environment. The County's CP has three major sections: Housing & Special
Needs Housing; Homeless; and Community Development.
The County's CP provides goals, priorities, needs, and data used to develop the plan for how the County
intends to administer the HUD CDBG Program. The State of Hawai'i's CP provides background,
direction, and a plan for how the State intends to administer HUD's Home Investment Partnership
Program (HOME), National Housing Trust Fund (HTF), Emergency Solution Grant (ESG), and Housing
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) to assist in meeting the housing needs of Hawai'i's
citizens. HOME and HTF funds are allocated between three neighbor -island counties on a three year
rotation.
The County's Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) reviewed the 2016 Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing and noted the following impediments were listed:
• Not allowing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU).
• Disallowance of multiple kitchens in house design.
• "Not in My Backyard" opposition to special needs group housing.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to
another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs
assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The CDBG project amount for all projects may change to accommodate the actual amount of grant
funds or program income received or if there are any cancelled project(s) or reprogramming of CDBG
funds. In its efforts to expedite and timely implement its projects, the Public is advised that the County
of Hawaii may utilize County funds for the Kulaimano Elderly Phase III Renovations project and West
Hawaii Homeless Emergency Shelter Improvements Project to incur pre -award cost under the CDBG
program that will not exceed 25% of current CDBG allocation. This is in accordance with the CDBG
regulations 24 CFR 570.200 (h) (1), Reimbursement for pre -award costs.
The 2019 CDBG projects meet the Objectives and Outcomes which are identified in the County's 2015-
2019 Consolidated Plan. The housing projects meet the affordable housing objective by creating new
affordable housing and/or sustaining existing housing through renovations and repairs. The public
facility projects meet the suitable living environment objective by renovating and rehabilitating the Hale
Ohana Domestic Abuse Shelter, West Hawaii Domestic Abuse Shelter, West Hawaii Homeless Emergency
Shelter, Hale Maluhia Men's Shelter, Kiheipua Family Shelter and the Boys and Girls Club.

Meetings and a public notice announcing the availability of the County's final CP and AP.
Public Hearings:
The County began its 2019 Annual Action Plan Citizen Participation Process in September of 2018. The
County held its annual public hearings in Keaau, Kailua-Kona, Honokaa, and Hilo to present an overview
of the Consolidated Plan process, to encourage citizens to offer input concerning housing, homeless,
special needs and community development needs and to discuss the past use of funds and
accomplishments. In addition, the members of the public were provided with information about the
2019 CDBG and 2018 HOME CHDO application process. The County informed participants of the
County's CP priorities and provided an opportunity for participants to provide their concerns or
comments.
Hawaii County also utilized the public hearings to inform the public about the upcoming 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan process. Attendees were provided with surveys to gather information regarding the
needs of our communities. This information will be utilized to develop the needs, priorities and goals of
the upcoming 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
The draft 2019 Action Plan was available for public review and comment from February 25, 2019
through March 26, 2019.
Public and Private Agencies Consultation Meetings:
As stated above, in September 2018, the County conducted Public Hearings island -wide to inform the
public about the 2019 CDBG and 2018 HOME CHDO application process. Members of the public were
provided with information on the CDBG and HOME CHDO programs. An overview of the draft priorities
and goals were also presented. The participants were asked to provide input on the county's draft
priorities and goals established as a result of community input at the various public hearings. In
addition to these consultations, the OHCD also informed each Council Member representing all districts

1. Introduction
The County began its 2019 Annual Action Plan Citizen Participation Process in September of 2018. The
County held its annual public hearings in Keaau, Kailua-Kona, Honokaa, and Hilo to present an overview
of the Consolidated Plan process, to encourage citizens to offer input concerning housing, homeless,
special needs and community development needs, and to discuss the past use of funds and
accomplishments. In addition, the members of the public were provided with information about the
2019 CDBG and 2018 HOME CHDO application process The County informed participants of the
County's CP priorities and provided an opportunity for participants to provide their concerns or
comments.
Hawaii County also utilized the public hearings to inform the public about the upcoming 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan process. Attendees were provided with surveys to gather information regarding the
needs to our communities. This information will be utilized to develop the needs, priorities and goals of
the upcoming 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
The draft 2019 Annual Action Plan was available for public review and comment from February 25, 2019
through March 26, 2019.
The OHCD also informed County agencies and each Council Member representing all districts in the
County of Hawai'i of the CP process and inquired if they had any projects that would meet the draft
priorities within their district.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1))
In September 2018, the County conducted Public Hearings island -wide to inform the public about the
2019 CDBG and 2018 HOME CHDO application process. Members of the public were provided with
information on CDBG and HOME programs. An overview of the draft priorities and goals were also
presented and reviewed. The participants were asked to provide input on the county's draft priorities
and goals established as a result of community input at the various public hearings. In addition to these
consultations, the OHCD also informed each Council Member representing all districts in the County of
Hawaii of the CP process and provided them with an opportunity to inform the County of any projects
that would meet the draft priorities within their district.

OMB Control No 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
•
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The State of Hawai'i is the primary agency that provides homeless funds to homeless service
providers. The County actively participates in the Bridging the Gap (neighbor island counties) and
Statewide (consisting of the State and Bridging the Gap) Continuum of Care. These groups focus on
approaches to ending homelessness. The County is also a component of the Interagency Council on
Homelessness - a conglomerate of government and service providers that seek solutions to address
statewide chronic homelessness through mainstream re -programming. Participation in the Continuum
of Care also allows the County to acquire other HUD funds for activities that address homeless needs
within the County. The County will continue to participate in all levels of collaboration in a proactive
effort to address the needs to its homeless community.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The County of Hawaii is not a recipient of Emergency Solution Grant Funds. The State of Hawai'i
allocates these funds to eligible homeless providers.
2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process
and describe the jurisdiction's consultations with housing, social service agencies and other
entities

Narrative Description
The HOME funds are received by State
Hawai'i Housing Finance and
Development Corporation (HHFDC) and
the State in turn allocates the HOME
funds to the counties on a 3 year
rotation. The designated County will
receive the entire allocation of HOME
funding less the allowable administrative
funding which will be retained by the
HHFDC. This makes it a little difficult for
Hawai'i County, as well as, the non-profit
organizations to plan out projects over a
three year period.

AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
The County's Consolidated Plan includes the HUD's "Performance Measures Model." The Model sets
Objectives, Outcomes, Activities, Indicators, and Output for the next five years. Please see the attached
Homeless Performance Measures Model Chart for the County's Homeless objectives. Chronic
Homelessness is a priority of this administration and through the administration's efforts the West
Hawaii Chronic Homelessness Intervention and Rehabilitation Project (CHIRP) and the East Hawaii
Homeless Coalition was established These new forums now bring the various County Departments to
the table to develop collaborations between local government, nonprofit, and service providers.
The County completed construction of 23 micro -housing units in West Hawaii, in November,
2016. These units will provide long-term permanent supportive housing for the chronic homeless.
In addition to providing shelter, the OHCD is working with various service providers to provide the
management of the site in addition to coordinating the needed health care services for these clients.
In 2018, the County completed renovations to the Child and Family Services' Kona Domestic Abuse
Shelter. This project enlarged and remodeled the kitchen, created an interior private office space,
replaced flooring, replaced playground equipment to include a safety fall surface and repaired wood
railings. Incidents of domestic violence have increased substantially in the past years There has been a
corresponding increase in the number of community members seeking services at the Kona Domestic
Violence Shelter. With the increased usage at the shelter, the facility required more frequent
maintenance, a larger kitchen to accommodate the victim's needs, and a private space for the staff to
meet with victims. The long-term goal, for the shelter, is to prepare the victim for self-sufficiency and
independence. Once the victims of domestic violence and their children are safe, transitioning them to
permanent safe housing and providing and linking them to various services to accomplish these goals
becomes the main focus. In 2018 the Shelter served 69 unduplicated families comprised of 69 women,
and 63 children. The renovations that were completed in 2018 provided Child and Family Services with
the needed support to meet their long-term shelter/program goals.
The County plans to allocate a total of $1,575,750.00 of their 2019 CDBG allocation for the
rehabilitation/renovation of 5 homeless shelters. The necessary rehabiliation/renovations includes but
are not limited to, security enhancements, fencing, roof replacement, kitchen renovations, bathroom
renovations, interior shelter renovations, energy saving activities, accessibility improvements, and
building code compliance.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including

individual needs
Hope Services Hawaii, Inc. provides outreach services to assist the homeless persons. They provide
outreach to beaches and/or various areas that the unsheltered homeless stay to deliver hygiene
products and advise them of the support services that are available to them. Hope Services Hawaii, Inc.
also provides case management to homeless persons and works toward placing homeless persons into
shelters until permanent housing becomes available. Hope Services Hawaii, Inc. also provides meals for
the homeless and transportation to appointments.
In 2018, HOPE Services Hawaii Inc., utilized CDBG funds to procure design consultants for renovations
(re -roofing, accessibility improvements and kitchen improvements) to 2 of their homeless shelters.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The County has a plan to address the emergency shelter, transitional housing and permanent housing
needs of homeless persons in West Hawaii. The County completed the West Hawaii Emergency
Shelter in Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i. The shelter has 31 rooms available for homeless persons. The rooms
are filled to capacity every night.
The County completed construction of 23 micro -housing units, in West Hawaii, to provide long-
term permanent supportive housing for the chronic homeless. The County's Office of Housing and
Community Development (OHCD) retrofitted and delivered 40' x 8' shipping containers that were
converted into 4 micro -housing units each. In addition to providing shelter, the OHCD is working with
the various service providers and West Hawai'i Chronic Homelessness Intervention and Rehabilitation
Project (CHIRP) participants to provide the management of the site in addition to coordinating the
needed health care services for these clients.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The County's plan is to transition homeless persons from the West Hawaii Emergency Shelter to the Ulu
Wini transitional housing and then to the permanent rental units in Ulu Wini or other permanent
housing units in West Hawai'i. The rental units at Ulu Wini provides Section 8 project -based vouchers
which will assist with rental subsidies, which is another program administered by the Office of Housing
and Community Development. The goal is to prevent these individuals and families from becoming
homeless again by providing them with case management, counseling, employment and life skills
training. This allows for personal growth, family stability, job oportunities and self-sufficiency.
Annual Action Plan 35
2019
OMB Control No 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The County does not have a formal policy for individuals being discharged from publicly funded
institutions and systems of care. These individuals would normally fall under the State's jurisdiction and
we as a County would follow the State's policy. However, under the County's Tenant Based Rental
Assistance (TBRA) program, preference is given to applicants who are homeless, victims of domestic
violence, aged -out foster care youths and families living in a transitional housing program.
Discussion
In respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs, the County has partially
funded, Phase II, of the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood rental housing project, developed by
Hawai'i Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC), with HOME funds. This project consists of
120 elderly rental housing units located in Hilo, Hawaii. Phase I of the project consisting of 60 units,
began in April, 2012 and was completed in March, 2014. Phase II of the project consists of 30 units and
began construction in January, 2017. The construction of this project was completed in October
2017. Tenant occupancy started in November 2017. The County is providing nutritional and
transportation services to the residents.
Hawai'i Island Adult Care, Inc (HIAC) is working with HICDC to relocate their program to the same site as
the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Housing project. Once completed, the HIAC will provide an
adult day care program to the residents of the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Housing project,
as well as to other seniors in the community. The HIAC program will further the health of the seniors by
keeping them engaged, physically and mentally involved, and in the presence of trained personnel that
can respond to their needs. The HIAC provides an adult day care program where elders attend for the
day, spend time with peers in activities of interest and are a part of the community. In the past, the
County has provided CDBG funds for the planning, design, site and infrastructure improvements for the
HIAC project. In 2015, CDBG funds were provided for foundation and site improvements. 2016 and
2017 CDBG funds were provided to supplement the vertical construction of the facility. Construction to
the project began in February, 2017 and is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2019.
Other projects that will be funded with 2019 CDBG funds are the renovations to 5 homeless shelters,
Hale Maluhia Shelter, Kiheipua Family Shelter, Hale Ohana Domestic Abuse Shelter, West Hawai'i
Domestic Abuse Shelter and West Hawaii Homeless Emergency Shelter, renovations to the Kulaimano
Elderly Housing facility, and gym renovations and accessibility improvements to the Boys & Girls Club of

AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The major obstacles of producing affordable housing are the lack of financial resources, scarcity of,
developable land and the lack of infrastructure. The County has identified the following barriers and
continue to address them in its quest to provide affordable housing. The following barriers are fees,
charges, exactions, land use regulations, building codes, growth limitations and lack of resources.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The County will undertake the following to reduce and/or remove affordable housing barriers.
* Continue to publicize and conduct fair housing workshops and seminars;
*Ensure the topics of affordable housing and fair housing choice are fully addressed within the Wrong
Door Network and all ADRCs (Aging and Disability Resource Centers);
*Publicize and promote the existence of, and assistance through, the housing "doors" in the No Wrong
Door Network;
*Collaborate with relevant organizations to advocate for the addition or upgrading of accessibility
requirements in major neighborhood and housing development projects;
*Collaborate with relevant organizations to advocate for a visit ability requirements for all new housing
construction (with the exception of ADUs and Ohana units);
*Collaborate with relevant organizations to advocate for increased funding to help lower-income
homeowners to cover the costs of modifications and renovations to make their home more accessible;
*Collaborate with relevant organizations to advocate for actions to ensure the paraprofessional
caretaking workforce is sufficient to meet the growing needs for long-term services and supports (LTSS)
and Home and Community-based Services (HCBS);
*Collaborate with public and private providers of services to people with the most severe disabilities to
support their access to appropriate housing;
*Coordinate landlord forums and promote benefits of its rental assistance program;
*Represent homeless needs to State agencies to encourage mainstream resourcing to address
Annual Action Plan 38 114
2019
OMB Control No 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
homelessness;
*Administer Fair Housing training to participants island -wide;
*Support authorized exemption, pursuant to Hawaii Revise Statutes 46-15 to assist in expediting the
development of affordable housing projects;
*Continue to maintain a housing website to increase housing and program information;
*Continue to revise Hawaii County Code, Chapter 11 to promote development of affordable housing;
*Provide legislature recommendations to preserve affordable housing development and funding
opportunities;
*Provide resource information at community development planning meetings that are representative of
at -risk population housing needs;
*Continue to amend and/or streamline the General plan land use regulations and process;
*Continue to support applications for and to encourage funding agencies to approve start up and
capacity building grants;
*Continue to review and update the County building code and recommend the elimination or
modification of onerous codes that do not affect health and safety;
Discussion:
It is very expensive to build affordable homes for the extremely -low, very low, and low-income families
in Hawaii. Without requirements for accessibility the choice for people with disabilities continues to
worsen. The strengths of the affordable housing delivery system in the County is derived from the many
different entities striving toward one common goal: to provide for more affordable housing in Hawai'i.
This will require a similar effort to provide accessible affordable housing. State, Federal and County
agencies, private non -profits, private social service providers, private lenders and private for-profit
developers are doing their part to respond to the urgency of the housing situation in Hawaii. New
programs are continually being established to form tax incentives, low-interest interim financing, bond
financing, rental subsidies and other creative development techniques to provide accessible affordable
housing. Despite all of these efforts, the availability of affordable housing will not be developed unless
massive funding is available.

OMB Control No 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
AP -85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction:
One of the conditions to receiving Community Planning and Development (CPD) funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Community Development (HUD) such as the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs and the National Housing Trust
Program (HTF), is that grantees, such as the County of Hawaii, are required to affirmatively further the
purposes of the Fair Housing Act. To help identify impediments to fair housing choice, grantees conduct
an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al) that analyzes existing conditions affecting fair
housing, identifies impediments to fair housing, and proposes an action plan outlining steps to reduce
the impediments. Generally, the Al is updated every five years to coincide with the Consolidated
Plan. HUD recently implemented its new Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) Tool, intended to replace
the AI; the anticipated implementation of the AFH is for the next five-year Consolidated Plan period of
PY2020-2024. In the interim, the State Hawai'i Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC),
in collaboration with other state and county agencies and with HUD guidance, elected to conduct an Al
focused on the state's most prevalent fair housing complaint. In Hawai'i, disability issues are the most
common basis for fair housing complaints. On behalf of the collaborative group, HHFDC contracted with
the University of Hawai'i's Center on Disability Studies to conduct an Al focused on impediments facing
people with disabilities. The Al was completed in November, 2016.
The Al identified substantial impediments to fair housing choice facing people with disabilities in Hawaii
as 1) a lack of knowledge on the part of people with disabilities, the general public, landlords and
property managers about legal requirements and available resources to support people with
disabilities; 2) people with disabilities have tremendous difficulties obtaining affordable housing that is
accessible; 3) personnel lack attitude, skills and knowledge to serve and support people with disabilities
in the housing, social service, medical, caretaking, and related fields; and 4) service systems are not
well -coordinated to support people with disabilities, especially those with serious cognitive disabilities,
to obtain and retain suitable housing The Al also proposed action steps for the next five years that may
help to address the issues. The 2016 Al may be viewed at the County of Hawai'i's website:

Listed below are the actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and
maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty -level
families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing
and social service agencies.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
One of the obstacles to meeting underserved needs is the production of affordable housing. The major
obstacles are the lack of financial resources and the lack of infrastructure. The County hopes to leverage
Annual Action Plan 40 4410
2019
OMB Control No• 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
other sources of funds (i.e. USDA, State, County and private) by providing federal funds to subsidize the
cost of housing. Another obstacle is the cost burden that the extremely -low and very -low income
households have to endure for housing in the County. The County hopes to continue funding the Tenant
Based Rental Assistance program (TBRA) with HOME funds to assist these extremely -low and very -low
income households with rental assistance so that they pay less than 30% of their income to housing
costs. Additionally, beginning in 2018 the County hopes to receive funds from the National Housing
Trust Fund Program (HTF). This program will provide funding for the development of affordable rental
housing units to serve extremely -low income households. Another obstacle is the lack of rental units
throughout the County for extremely -low and very -low income households. The County plans to work
with management agencies and educate landlords about the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program
and the TBRA program.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The County of Hawai'i plans to foster and maintain high priority affordable housing for County residents
by investing 2019 CDBG funds in the following activities: renovations to the Kulaimano Elderly Housing
Project, renovations and rehabilitation of 5 homeless shelters, Hale Ohana Domestic Abuse Shelter,
West Hawai'i Domestic Abuse Shelter, West Hawai'i Homeless Emergency Shelter, Kiheipua Family
Shelter and Hale Maluhia Shelter.
The County of Hawai'i will also utilize 2018 HOME CHDO funds to construct 3 self-help affordable single
family homes in the Puna District for homebuyers.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
Hawai'i County has two programs that consider the hazards of lead based paint poisoning. One, the
Residential Repair Program (RRP), requires that lead based paint risk assessments be conducted for
homes built before 1978. If a dwelling is determined to have lead, mitigation measures are taken to
address the lead that is present. When the lead based paint concerns are corrected, the unit becomes
available for lead free safe occupancy, thereby, increasing access to housing without LBP hazards.
The other is the County's Section 8 Rental Assistance Payments Program which prohibits rental subsidy
for any unit that is built before 1978 if there is a family member under the age of 7 and the unit contains
peeling paint.
Other actions/plans to be undertaken to reduce lead-based paint hazards include:
• The distribution of pamphlets to applicants of the RRP notifying them of potential lead-based
Annual Action Plan 41
2019
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
paint hazards; and
• Clearance testing conducted on homes that were found to have lead under the RRP.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
According to the 2010 Census, 18.3% of the people in Hawaii County are below the poverty level. This
is above the State's poverty level of 11.2% and this is mainly due to the high unemployment rate in the
County. The County plans to continue administering the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program
(TBRA) that targets the extremely -low income households. This would limit the households from paying
more than 30% of their income to housing costs. Another program the County would like to administer
is the National Housing Trust Fund (HTF) that targets the extremely -low households. The National
Housing Trust Fund can be used to acquire, construct or rehabilitate rental housing and rent to
extremely -low income households. In rural areas the HTF law considers households with income below
poverty line as very -low income. Administering the HTF will help the County reduce the number of
poverty -level families.
In addition, the County is administering the Department of Labor's Workforce Innovation Opportunity
Act (WIOA) program which requires a one-stop shop. The one-stop concept allows a client to access
various services from a central location, which includes self-sufficiency and financial literacy
programs. The mandatory partners in the one-stop shop are: WIOA programs, Native American
programs, migrant and seasonal farm worker programs, veteran employment program, adult education,
welfare -to -work, senior community service employment programs, vocational rehabilitation services for
the blind programs, Hawaii Community College and HUD employment and training programs.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The County will continue to participate in: County & State Quarterly Coordinator's Meetings which
coordinates state-wide activities and performance measures; the State-wide Continuum of Care group
which meets every other month to collaborate on homeless issues; the Inter -Agency Council on
Homelessness which meets every other month to enable better access to mainstream programs and to
end chronic homelessness; HOME State Recipient Group which meets periodically to coordinate HOME
program and projects; quarterly meeting with Fair Housing Officers from the State and other counties
and State-wide Housing Directors which meets monthly to collaborate on housing issues.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The County will do the following to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social

Specific CDBG Certifications
The Entitlement Community certifies that:
Citizen Participation -- It is in full compliance and following a detailed citizen participation plan that
satisfies the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105.
Community Development Plan -- Its consolidated housing and community development plan identifies
community development and housing needs and specifies both short-term and long-term community
development objectives that provide decent housing, expand economic opportunities primarily for persons
of low and moderate income. (See CFR 24 570.2 and CFR 24 part 570)
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:
11. 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);
12. Overall Benefit - The aggregate use of CDBG funds including section 108 guaranteed loans during
program year(s) 2019, 2020, 2021, (a period specified by the grantee consisting of one, two, or three
specific consecutive program years), shall principally benefit persons of low and moderate income in a
manner that ensures that at least 70 percent of the amount is expended for activities that benefit
such persons during the designated period;
13. Special Assessments - It will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements assisted
with CDBG funds including Section 108 loan guaranteed funds by assessing any amount against
properties owned and occupied by persons of low and moderate income, including any fee charged 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.
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:
14. 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
15. 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;

authorities as specified in 24 CFR Part 58.
11.The requirements of 24 CFR 576.21(a)(4) providing that the funding of homeless
prevention activities for families that have received eviction notices or notices of
termination of utility services will meet the requirements that: (A) the inability of
the family to make the required payments must be the result of a sudden
reduction in income; (B) the assistance must be necessary to avoid eviction of the
family or termination of the services to the family; (C) there must be a reasonable

implement, to the maximum extent practicable and where appropriate, policies
and protocols for the discharge of persons from publicly funded institutions or
systems of care (such as health care facilities, foster care or other youth
facilities, or correction programs and institutions) in order to prevent such
discharge from immediately resulting in homelessness for such persons. I further
understand that state and local governments are primarily responsible for the
care of these individuals, and that ESG funds are not to be used to assist such
persons in place of state and local resources.
13. HUD's standards for participation in a local Homeless Management Information
System (HMIS) and the collection and reporting of client -level information.
I further certify that the submission of a completed and approved Consolidated Plan
tor with its certifications, which act as the application for an Emergency Shelter Grant, is

Drug -Free Workplace Certification
1. By signing and/or submitting this application or grant agreement, the grantee is providing the
certification.
2. The certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance is placed when the agency
awards the grant. If it is later determined that the grantee knowingly rendered a false certification,
or otherwise violates the requirements of the Drug -Free Workplace Act, HUD, in addition to any other
remedies available to the Federal Government, may take action authorized under the Drug -Free
Workplace Act.
3. Workplaces under grants, for grantees other than individuals, need not be identified on the
certification. If known, they may be identified in the grant application. If the grantee does not identify
the workplaces at the time of application, or upon award, if there is no application, the grantee must
keep the identity of the workplace(s) on file in its office and make the information available for
Federal inspection. Failure to identify all known workplaces constitutes a violation of the grantee's
drug-free workplace requirements.
4. Workplace identifications must include the actual address of buildings (or parts of buildings) or other
sites where work under the grant takes place. Categorical descriptions may be used (e.g., all vehicles
of a mass transit authority or State highway department while in operation, State employees in each
local unemployment office, performers in concert halls or radio stations).
5. If the workplace identified to the agency changes during the performance of the grant, the grantee
shall inform the agency of the change(s), if it previously identified the workplaces in question (see
paragraph three).
6. The grantee may insert in the space provided below the site(s) for the performance of work done in
connection with the specific grant: Place of Performance (Street address, city, county, state, zip code)
Check if there are workplaces on file that are not identified here. The certification with regard to the
drug-free workplace is required by 24 CFR part 21.
