SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Substantial Amendment to City of Clearwater’s Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan
and the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan and authorize the City to modify existing agreements and request
new applications for funding. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provided a one-time allocation of
$1,637,567 in HOME-ARP (America Rescue Plan) funding to the City of Clearwater. HUD requires
HOME-ARP funding to be used to assist Qualifying Populations defined as populations experiencing
homelessness or at-risk of homelessness and others requiring supportive services or assistance for
homelessness prevention. A Substantial Amendment is required to reprogram funds in excess of 25%
of the HOME-ARP allocation.
In June 2022, the first Substantial Amendment (SA-1) was approved by the City Council to add
HOME-ARP funding to the City’s FY 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan by inclusion of the required
HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. Previously, the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan allocated funding to
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA), Development of Affordable Rental Housing, and
Administration and Planning by means of multiple specific project categories.
The second Substantial Amendment (SA-2) was to allocate HOME-ARP funding to a new Supportive
Services project category and to reprogram funding across several new and existing consolidated
projects.
The City of Clearwater is proposing a 3rd amendment to the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan and
HOME-ARP Allocation Plan to reallocate HOME Investment Partnerships Program American Rescue
Plan (HOME-ARP) funding. The reallocation will move funds from Supportive Services and
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to Affordable Rental Housing.
The reallocation is intended to increase housing stability by expanding the affordable rental housing
stock within the city for individuals and/or families in the specified “qualifying populations” described in
HOME-ARP. The total amount of available HOME-ARP funds is $1,637,567. The proposed amendment
will reprogram this funding from and to the following projects:
All other planned projects, proposed activities, and funding amounts not listed above will be unaffected
by the proposed amendment.
The City of Clearwater is holding two public hearings for citizens, representatives of the public, private
agencies and organizations, and other interested parties to review, provide comments, and make
recommendations on the proposed Substantial Amendment to the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan and
HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.
Deadline for the expenditure of HOME-ARP funds is September 30, 2030.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
2.4 - Supports equitable housing programs that promote household stability and reduce the incidence of
homelessness within Clearwater.

Executive Summary
AP‐05 Executive Summary ‐ 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Clearwater, Florida, has completed the planning process for the 2021/2022 Annual Action
Plan as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The purpose of the
Annual Action Plan is to identify anticipated resources and proposed projects to address the goals,
objectives, and strategies of the City’s Consolidated Plan spanning program years 2020/2021‐
2024/2025. The Consolidated Plan guides the use of City resources to address housing and community
development needs over a five‐year period. The 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan covers the second year
of the five‐year period.
The Annual Action Plan is developed in a manner specified by HUD, and the City has followed the
prescribed format in completing the plan. During the planning process, the City published a Notice of
Funding Availability (NOFA) and conducted a subrecipient grant application workshop (i.e., technical
assistance meeting) that specifically consulted housing and public service providers. The City also
convened meetings of the Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB) and Technical
Review Committee to consider federal allocations and project applications and held public hearings with
the NAHAB and City Council to approve the Annual Action Plan. The purpose of this process was to
facilitate the submittal of applications for projects that will address the goals, objectives, and strategies
during the second year of the Consolidated Plan’s five‐year period.
There are four (4) major areas of focus in the Consolidated Plan: Housing, Homelessness, Non‐Housing
Community Development and Non‐Homeless Special Needs. The Annual Action Plan process requires
the City to identify anticipated resources and proposed projects to address the priority needs for each
area of focus. The planning process was critical in selecting projects to effectively address these priority
needs.

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or
projects.
The Economic Development and Housing Department oversees implementation of the CDBG and HOME
programs. The previous Annual Action Plan covered the first year of the City’s Consolidated Plan. The
previous year has shown significant progress in the City’s efforts to implement HUD entitlement
programs. The City is compliant with HUD regulations and continues to deliver housing and community
development services in an efficient manner. Over the previous year, the City received an annual
allocation of $837,233 (with HUD Corrected Notice) in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds and $431,344 (with HUD Corrected Notice) in HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME). With those
funds, approximately 11,000 people, 6,000 households, and 56 businesses are estimated to be assisted
during program year 2020/2021.
With these funds, the Economic Development and Housing Department offered an array of housing
programs and services providing the foundation needed to aid in promoting homeownership and/or
sustainable neighborhoods:
Homeowner rehabilitation, including emergency repairs and accessibility retrofitting for persons
with disabilities
Down payment and closing cost assistance for homebuyers
Annual Action Plan

Acquisition/new construction for affordable housing
Fair housing activities
Funding to grant subrecipients for public services, including activities that serve the homeless,
persons with special needs, or persons of low and moderate income
Funding for public facilities and infrastructure projects benefitting low‐ and moderate‐income
neighborhoods
Economic development activities
The City has been successful in implementing these programs in the past and anticipates the
continuation of such programs in the future. Over the next year, the City will use CDBG and HOME funds
to meet the goals and objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
Summary from citizen participation section of plan.
Comments and concerns raised during the citizen participation process were taken into consideration
when developing the Annual Action Plan's anticipated resources and proposed projects. The Annual
Action Plan is a collaborative process that involves a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), subrecipient
applications, City staff and advisory board consideration of federal allocations and proposed projects,
and identification of strategies for improved coordination and delivery. As part of this process, the City
sought to identify projects and strategies to address the priority needs of the Consolidated Plan’s
Strategic Plan. Such priority needs were identified during the Consolidated Plan process based on past
program performance, available housing and demographic data, public input, housing and service
provider consultation, and community meetings and surveys. In addition, the City provided opportunity
for citizen participation and comment, including public notices, a 30‐day comment period, and solicited
input and direction from City Departments, the NAHAB, and the City Council to establish action items for
the second year.
The 2021‐2022 (Federal FY 2021) Annual Action Plan was substantially amended on June 2, 2022, to
reprogram $255,939 in Federal FY 2021 CDBG funds to existing and new CDBG projects, and to allocate
$1,637,567 in Federal HOME‐ARP funds by attachment of the required HOME‐ARP Allocation Plan for
new HOME‐ARP projects. The substantial amendment was advertised in the Tampa Bay Times and
published on the City’s website beginning on May 4, 2022, for a period of 30 days ending on June 2,
2022.
The 2021‐2022 (Federal FY 2021) Annual Action Plan was substantially amended on November 16, 2023,
to add Supportive Services as a proposed activity under the HOME‐ARP Allocation Plan, and to
reprogram funding accordingly. The substantial amendment was previously advertised in the Tampa Bay
Times on September 6, 2023, and published on the City’s website beginning on September 10, 2023, for
a period of 30 days ending on October 10, 2023. The substantial amendment was advertised again on
November 1, 2023, to include updated public hearing dates.

Agency Role Name Department/Agency CDBG Administrator CLEARWATER Economic Development and Housing Department HOME Administrator CLEARWATER Economic Development and Housing Department Table 1 – Responsible Agencies Narrative (optional) The City of Clearwater, Florida, is the lead agency responsible for overseeing the development of the Annual Action Plan. The Economic Development and Housing Department is the internal department that is responsible for the day‐to‐day administration of CDBG and HOME funding (see Table 1). However, the Economic Development and Housing Department worked closely with both the City Council and the Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB) in addition to residents and sub‐recipients to develop a meaningful document. The development of the Annual Action Plan was based on the previous Annual Action Plan, associated Consolidated Plan, and other relevant studies, plans and reports. Some of the primary documents included the City’s Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area documents, Local Housing Incentives Strategy and Local Housing Assistance Plan, and Economic Development Strategic Plan, and the Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance’s reporting documents, among others. To maximize citizen participation, City staff published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), held a grant application workshop (i.e., technical assistance meeting), convened the NAHAB and Technical Review Committee to consider anticipated resources and proposed projects, held a 30‐day public comment period, and held a public hearing with the City Council to approve the Annual Action Plan. As part of these efforts, low‐ and moderate‐income residents, as well as service providers, were encouraged to provide input on the Annual Action Plan, anticipated resources, and proposed projects.

1. Introduction
Partnering with other local, public, and private entities is vital to addressing the identified priority needs
related to affordable housing, homelessness, special needs, and community development. Clearwater's
Citizen Participation Plan incorporates the goals, policies, and implementation strategies that the City
will undertake to encourage and ensure adequate citizen participation in the development of the
Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plan, any substantial amendments to the Plans, and the
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
Citizen participation provides a means of involving the citizens of Clearwater in an advisory capacity in
all phases of HUD programs. Citizen participation in such efforts is essential if the activities to be
undertaken are to be truly successful and responsive to the needs and concerns of the community. The
Citizen Participation Plan provides for and encourages residents to explain their needs and voice their
concerns. Emphasis is placed on persons of low‐ and moderate‐income who are residents of low‐ and
moderate‐income areas in which funds are proposed to be used. However, at the same time, residents
are reminded that their input is advisory and that final authority for decision‐making rests with the City
Council, who is responsible to both the citizens of Clearwater and the Federal government.
To promote citizen participation, the City published a notice of funding availability (NOFA), held a
subrecipient grant application workshop (i.e., Technical Assistance Meeting), convened the
Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB) and Technical Review Committee to
consider anticipated resources and proposed projects, published the draft Annual Action Plan for a 30‐
day public comment period, and held public hearings with the NAHAB and City Council to approve the
Annual Action Plan.
The NOFA, subrecipient grant application workshop, and 30‐day public comment period provided
opportunities for citizens and interested parties to become knowledgeable about Clearwater’s housing
and community development programs and eligibility requirements. Participants were asked to provide
input on how funds should be allocated to programs and projects related to affordable housing,
homelessness, special needs, and community development.
See separate HOME‐ARP Allocation Plan attachment for consultation efforts specific to HOME‐ARP.
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(l))
Institutional coordination of the Annual Action Plan establishes a unified vision for community
development. The City uses a collaborative process to shape various programs into effective,
Annual Action Plan
2021

OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
coordinated strategies. This process also facilitates the opportunity for planning and citizen participation
to take place in a comprehensive context, attempting to reduce duplication of effort at the local level.
The City will implement this Annual Action Plan in coordination with public, private, and nonprofit
agencies. Nonprofit agencies may include, but are not limited to, service providers and community
housing development organizations. Private sector partners may include, but are not limited to, local
financial institutions, developers, and local businesses. The City works closely with its partners to design
programs that address identified needs.
Table 2 outlines the types of agencies and organizations consulted throughout the program year and
during the development of the Annual Action Plan. Organizations consulted included various service
providers, Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), Clearwater Housing Authority,
Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance, City Departments, NAHAB, and the City Council, among
others.
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 City coordinated with the Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance during development of the
Consolidated Plan and through its most recent PIT and Homeless Assessment reports and with residents
through community meetings. This consultation was pivotal in preparing the Needs Assessment and
Strategic Plan components of the Consolidated Plan, which collectively inform the selection of projects
for the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan. The Clearwater Housing Authority was also consulted during the
development of the Consolidated Plan through its most recent Public Housing Authority Plan and other
HUD reports, which also inform the selection of projects for inclusion in the 2021/2022 Annual Action
Plan.
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 City of Clearwater does not receive or administer an Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). During the
development of the Consolidated Plan, consultation with the Continuum of Care (CoC) included research
of the Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance (HLA) annual reports and plans, community
meetings, public hearings, and notices. The Consolidated Plan establishes goals, objectives, and
strategies to address homelessness, which inform the selection of projects for inclusion in the Annual
Action Plan.

OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The HLA, as the lead agency for the area’s CoC, utilizes the following system performance measures and
procedural documents: HUD System Performance Measures, HUD CoC Project Priority Application
Ranking System, NAEH Rapid Rehousing Performance Benchmarks and Program Standards, Annual
Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data,
Annual Point‐in‐Time (PIT) Count Report, Housing Inventory Count, and other documents including the
Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness.
The HLA is comprised of 24 members, two executive officers, and 17 staff persons. The Board consists
of two councils, the Providers Council and Funders Council, that work together to identify concerns and
make policies and recommendations on homeless issues. The mission of the HLA is to coordinate all
community partners, systems, and resources available with the goal of helping individuals and families
to prevent, divert, and end homelessness in Pinellas County.

At a minimum, implicit in these goals is the City’s commitment to providing coordinated community, housing, and supportive services to its lower income residents. These services are provided through not only City‐administered CDBG and HOME programs, but also through subrecipient partnerships, coordination with government and quasi‐government agencies, and respective planning efforts (see Table 3). The City will continue to encourage partnerships between governments, lenders, builders, developers, real estate professionals, and advocates for low‐income persons. The City will continue to work with the building industry, banking industry, real estate industry, social service providers and other community groups to promote the development of affordable housing and related housing services.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal‐setting The development of the Annual Action Plan requires a citizen participation process to obtain input from residents and service providers that represent the City of Clearwater’s low‐ and moderate‐income, homeless, or special needs populations. The following section describes the citizen participation process conducted by the City to develop the 2021/2022 Action Plan. During the development of the 2021/2022 Action Plan, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and held a subrecipient grant application workshop (i.e., technical assistance meeting) to collect applications for potential projects. The City of Clearwater’s Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB) then convened to discuss the anticipated resources and applications for potential projects. Applicants were provided an opportunity to present their projects to the NAHAB for consideration. A Technical Review Committee also met to discuss project eligibility specific to the City’s federally funded programs. Once potential projects were recommended by the Technical Review Committee and selected by the NAHAB, the draft Annual Action Plan was posted for a 30‐day comment period. At the conclusion of the 30‐day comment period, public hearings were held with the NAHAB and City Council to approve the 2021/2022 Action Plan for submittal to HUD. Noticing of these events occurred by email, City website, and newspaper advertisements. Notices for public meetings/hearings included information for persons needing reasonable accommodations to participate. A summary of the citizen participation process is shown in Table 4. Copies of advertisements, meeting minutes, and other documentation are included in the Appendix. Comments and concerns raised during the citizen participation process were taken into consideration when developing the Annual Action Plan. The 2021/2022 Action Plan is intended to support the goals, objectives, and strategies of the Five‐Year Consolidated Plan, and to address the priority needs of the community. Applications for potential projects to be funded were considered by the NAHAB and Technical Review Committee, and were selected based on available funding, eligibility of proposed activities, and relevance to the Consolidated Plan. The selected projects support the City’s goals pertaining to housing, homelessness, non‐homeless special needs, community development and public services, and economic development. Program administration activities, though not part of the application process, are also included in the 2021/2022 Action Plan. No activities pertaining to emergency/disaster response are included in the second‐year Action Plan.

Annual Action Plan 2021 35 OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Expected Resources AP‐15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction The Annual Action Plan must identify the federal, state, local, and private resources expected to be available to the City to address the priority needs and goals identified in the Five‐Year Consolidated Plan. These resources are summarized in AP‐15 (Table 5). The City of Clearwater expects a total entitlement allocation of $922,626 in CDBG funding for the 2021/2022 program year. Program income for CDBG is expected to be approximately $99,100 (including $71,600 from the revolving loan program and $27,500 from other income). Approximately $1,723,692 is expected from prior‐year resources to be carried over (including $587,783 from NSP3 conversion to CDBG in 2020). CDBG funds will be used for housing and community development activities including, but not limited to, housing rehabilitation, homebuyer education, public facilities and services, homeless and special needs activities, economic development, and administration of the City’s CDBG program. The City of Clearwater expects a total entitlement allocation of $452,259 in HOME funding for the 2021/2022 program year. Program income from HOME is expected to be approximately $150,000, with approximately $3,358,202 in prior‐year resources to be carried‐over. HOME funds will be used for housing activities such as housing acquisition or rehabilitation, new construction, down payment assistance, CHDO support, and administration of the City’s HOME program. The 2021/2022 Action Plan represents “Year 2” of the 2020‐2024 Consolidated Plan. The expected amount available during the remainder of the Consolidated Plan is based on the Consolidated Plan’s estimated amount remaining for the four‐year period (i.e., 2021‐2024) minus the expected entitlement allocation and program income for Year 2 (2021/2022). The Annual Action Plan must summarize the City of Clearwater’s priority needs and the specific goals it intends to initiate and/or complete within Year 2 of the Consolidated Plan. These goals must be described in quantitative terms. The City has selected goal outcome indicators and quantities based on the anticipated performance measured of the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan. See AP‐20 (Table 6). *HUD 2021 Formula Allocation

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City of Clearwater owns properties within low‐ and moderate‐income areas of its jurisdiction. The
City also maintains an “Affordable Housing Inventory List” that is updated periodically by City resolution.
As of the most recent iteration, Resolution No. 19‐10, there are 19 properties on this list. These
properties are vacant and located on the following streets: Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave., La Salle St. (2),
Monroe Ave., Palm Bluff St., Nicholson St., Tafft Ave., N. Garden Dr., N. Madison Ave., S. Washington
Ave., Grant St. (3), Marshall St., Vine Ave., Pierce St. (2), Pennsylvania Ave., N. Martin Luther King Jr.
Blvd. As part of the City’s reporting for the SHIP program, the City’s Affordable Housing Advisory
Committee (AHAC) regularly reviews this list for opportunities to support affordable housing production
in coordination with local developers and other housing partners/agencies. The 19 properties on the list
represent twelve development opportunities. Six sites have been donated for development of
affordable housing and four sites are currently included in plans for development of affordable housing.
Discussion
The City Clearwater’s anticipated funding allocation from CDBG and HOME will address many of the
City’s goals, including those pertaining to housing, homelessness, non‐homeless special needs,
community development and public services, and economic development. Program administration
activities, though not part of the application process, will also be funded. No activities pertaining to
emergency/disaster response are included in the second‐year Action Plan; however, this goal is reserved
for future unforeseen needs should they arise. The City is fortunate to have a network of public service
providers and partner agencies to help address these goals through financial leveraging with non‐federal
sources such as SHIP and other private, public, and federal sources.

Introduction
The City’s planned actions for the 2021/2022 Action Plan are intended to support housing and
community development for the City’s low‐ and moderate‐income, homeless, and special needs
populations.
The City will continue to operate its CDBG and HOME programs through the Economic Development and
Housing Department, which will continue to provide funding for housing rehabilitation, housing
construction, and homeownership assistance. These actions will further the goal of improving the
availability of and accessibility to affordable housing in Clearwater.
As in the past, the City will continue to coordinate with housing and public service providers to address
the needs of homeless and non‐homeless special needs populations generally assumed to be low‐ and
moderate‐income. During the 2021/2022 program year, the City will fund activities that provide public
services to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless, the elderly, persons with disabilities,
persons with mental health or substance abuse challenges, and youth and families of low‐ and
moderate‐income. Planned community development activities include improvements to public facilities
that serve these populations and economic development activities that support business assistance and
building façade improvements.
The City’s planned actions for the 2021/2022 Action Plan are summarized in AP‐35 and AP‐38 (see Table
7).

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The allocation priorities are focused on six (6) goals from the Consolidated Plan: program
administration, housing, homelessness, non‐homeless special needs, community development and
public services, and economic development. No funding was allocated to emergency/disaster response;
however, this goal is reserved for unforeseen urgent need activities. It is important to note that total
funding for public services is capped at 15% of the total CDBG allocation. Total funding for activities
related to administration is capped at 20% for CDBG and 10% for HOME.
Strategic Plan Goal, CDBG + HOME (% of Total Funding)*
Program Administration, $239,550 (3.6%)
Housing, $4,968,424 (74.1%)
Homelessness, $218,422 (3.2%)
Non‐Homeless Special Needs, $131,120 (2.0%)
Community Development and Public Services, $684,827 (10.2%)
Economic Development, $463,536 (6.9%)
Emergency/Disaster Response, $0 (0.0%)
TOTAL, $6,705,879
*Includes program income and prior year resources. Excludes SHIP (State) resources. Percentages may
not equal 100% due to rounding.
The “Great Recession” reduced revenues for all levels of government (federal, state, and local). Reduced
revenues have hindered the City’s ability to meet the needs of low‐ and moderate‐income, homeless,
and special needs populations. More recently, the COVID‐19 pandemic further increased the needs of
lower income residents. Combined, these events have generally increased the demand for public
services, which places additional burden on public service agencies within the City. Although HUD
previously waived public service and administration caps for some federally funded programs, these
served as only temporary solutions to ongoing economic obstacles for lower income residents.
In Clearwater, the lack of available land and rapidly rising housing prices will continue to be an obstacle
Annual Action Plan
2021
49
OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
to affordable housing. Rapidly rising housing prices will also increase the need for affordable rental units
for households priced out of the owner market. Affordable rental development projects are needed to
offset the large proportion of high‐end apartment complexes in the City.

For the 2021/2022 Action Plan, the City of Clearwater will provide direct assistance to low‐ and

The geographic distribution of funding percentages shown in Table 8 is misleading since few projects are
solely concentrated in a specific NRSA. Most projects are not solely concentrated in a NRSA but are
included in the citywide low‐ and moderate‐income areas and multiple NRSAs. These percentages
include projects that will benefit multiple areas. See Map 1 titled, “Low‐ and Moderate‐Income Areas”

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Four (4) areas have been designated as either Local Target Areas or Strategy Areas within the City of
Clearwater. These are Citywide Low‐ and Moderate‐Income Areas, North Greenwood Neighborhood
Revitalization Strategy Area, Lake Bellevue Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area, and Downtown
Gateway District Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. These neighborhoods were identified in
previous Consolidated Plans and updated in the current 2020‐2024 Consolidated Plan. The designation
of Local Target Areas and Strategy Areas increases the potential for coordinated planning and
investment. The areas selected for the 2020‐2024 Consolidated Plan were confirmed through the citizen
participation process, which included service provider and community meetings, as well as meetings
with staff of the City’s Economic Development and Housing Department. Each of these areas meets the
eligibility requirements for low‐ and moderate‐income benefit. While Local Target Areas and Strategy
Areas allow the City to plan and invest in a coordinated manner, they do not limit the City from
expending funds in other areas of Clearwater that also meet the eligibility requirements for low‐ and
moderate‐income benefit.
Discussion
The City of Clearwater has identified 45 CDBG and HOME projects to implement the goals of the
Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan during the second year of the 2020‐2024 Consolidated Plan. These
projects benefit low‐ and moderate‐income persons Citywide and within the City’s Neighborhood
Revitalization Strategy Areas. Projects with Citywide benefit include activities related to housing,
homelessness, non‐homeless special needs, community development and public services, and economic
development that meet the needs of income‐eligible persons or households. Program administration
activities also provide indirect Citywide benefit.
Additionally, the City has identified four (4) HOME‐ARP projects supported by the City’s HOME‐ARP
Allocation Plan. HOME‐ARP projects will provide rental assistance and servicesaffordable rental housing
to benefit Qualifying Populations (QPs) under the HOME‐ARP program. HOME‐ARP projects are
associated with the goals of housing, homelessness, and non‐homeless special needs consistent with the
QPs and eligible activities under the HOME‐ARP program.

Affordable Housing
AP‐55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
The City of Clearwater places a high priority on providing housing assistance, such as homebuyer
education/counseling and Fair Housing activities, to promote homeownership. Additionally, the City
facilitates the construction of new affordable housing units to increase the supply of affordable housing
and thereby address demand. These priority needs shall be addressed, in part, by local non‐profit
organizations and developers that construct affordable housing for lower‐income, first‐time
homebuyers. The City will also continue to deliver its housing rehabilitation and down payment
assistance programs to income‐eligible households.
The Annual Action Plan must specify goals for the number of homeless, non‐homeless, and special needs
households to be supported during the program year. These numbers are shown in the following tables
and are inclusive of the affordable housing activities shown in AP‐20, in addition to other planned
housing activities identified in AP‐35 and AP‐38. Section AP‐55 (see Table 9 and Table 10) indicates the
number of households to be supported through specific activities, including rental assistance,
production of new units, rehabilitation of existing units, or acquisition of existing units. For the purposes
of this section, the term “affordable housing” is defined in the HOME regulations 24 CFR 92.252 for
rental housing and 24 CFR 92.254 for homeownership. [This section replaces the former HUD Table 3B.]

housing activities will support 174 households through a combination of production of new units,
rehabilitation of existing units, or acquisition of existing units through direct financial assistance to
homebuyers. Additionally, the City will support 172 households through housing‐related public services
(e.g., homebuyer education/counseling).

Introduction
This section of the Annual Action Plan describes what actions the City of Clearwater will take during the
2021/2022 program year to carry out the public housing strategy identified in the Consolidated Plan’s
Strategic Plan. The Clearwater Housing Authority (CHA) administers housing assistance for lower income
persons and households in the greater Clearwater area. The operations of the CHA are funded through
annual appropriations from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Assistance
includes public housing, tenant‐based vouchers (Housing Choice Vouchers or HCVs), and special purpose
voucher activities. Combined, these activities supply approximately 1,653 publicly assisted housing units
in the greater Clearwater area. [Source: HUD PIC, HA Profiles, accessed June 2021]
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
The City of Clearwater works cooperatively with Pinellas County, the CHA, and private entities to provide
public and subsidized housing within Clearwater. The CHA administers public housing for seniors and
families in addition to the HCV program that provides financial rental assistance to income‐eligible
individuals and families. The CHA and other housing providers in the community continuously seek to
rehabilitate the supply of housing affordable to lower‐income residents. Although the CHA recently
renovated some of its public housing units, the CHA is undergoing a voluntary conversion that started in
2020. During conversion, the CHA will ensure that residents are housed through vouchers and
coordination with other housing providers. Any proceeds from the sale of public housing properties will
be reinvested in affordable housing. The City will continue to coordinate housing referrals with the CHA,
as well as the Pinellas County Housing Authority, in the delivery of the City’s CDBG and HOME housing
programs.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
The CHA has an ongoing management program in place to involve residents in its operations.
Additionally, through the 2021/2022 Action Plan, the City of Clearwater will support homebuyer
education/counseling, Fair Housing, and housing placement activities that could facilitate the transition
from public housing to homeownership.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance

AP‐65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
This section of the Annual Action Plan describes what actions the City of Clearwater will take during the
2021/2022 program year to carry out the homeless strategy identified in the Consolidated Plan’s
Strategic Plan. Additionally, this section describes any action related to the supportive housing needs of
non‐homeless special needs persons at risk of homelessness.
The Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance (HLA), a nonprofit 501(c)(3), serves as the Continuum
of Care (CoC) Lead Agency, Collaborative Applicant, and HMIS Lead Agency. The HLA provides
supplemental services, coordination, and funding management to carry out the policy goals of the CoC.
The mission of the HLA is to provide leadership in the planning, development, and alignment of
community advocacy, resources, and strategies to prevent, divert, and end homelessness in Pinellas
County. The HLA, as the lead agency for the CoC, is the organization most suited to addressing the needs
of homeless persons in the greater Clearwater area.
Consistent with the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan, the City of Clearwater will pursue the goal of
helping to prevent and reduce homelessness in Clearwater. It is the City’s objective to support the
activities of the HLA and other members of the region’s CoC that represents a countywide consortium of
homeless service providers.
Describe the jurisdictions one‐year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The HLA conducts an annual Point‐in‐Time homeless count and prepares a Homeless Assessment
Report, both of which document the extent of homelessness in the community. Furthermore, the City
received input on homeless needs during the Consolidated Plan public meetings and community survey.
The priority needs of the homeless include facilities/services for homeless adults and families,
facilities/services for homeless youth and youth aging out of foster care, case management,
nutrition/food services, and employment assistance/job training toward self‐sufficiency.
Outreach to the homeless is done by the Continuum of Care’s Street Outreach Teams that cover major
parts of Pinellas County five days per week. The Street Outreach Teams are the center of the CoC’s
efforts to find and engage street homeless, in place, since late 2006. Each Street Outreach Team is
composed of one law enforcement officer and one case manager. Additionally, Street Outreach Teams
focus on finding unaccompanied youth. Relatedly, the Veterans Administration funds Veterans Outreach
for that population.
Annual Action Plan
2021
84
OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
All the outreach personnel meet bi‐monthly to discuss problems, identify increases/decreases in specific
populations, problem‐solve, and meet with providers of emergency mats and beds. Law enforcement
staff members train their police departments on working with street homeless persons. Once a street
homeless individual or family seeks assistance, they are encouraged to go to Safe Harbor, the County’s
emergency homeless shelter and jail diversion program where they are assigned a case manager for
assessment and referral to services, etc. Unaccompanied youth are referred to Family Resources and
other youth programs to get them off the street. Street Outreach Teams also process individuals for
entrance to Pinellas Hope, another homeless shelter operated by Catholic Charities.
The HLA also partners with the Juvenile Welfare Board’s Children’s Services Council and 2‐1‐1 Tampa
Bay Cares on the Family Services Initiative (FSI) that works with families in need. The goal of the FSI is to
prevent homelessness while working on longer term issues and to have one place for families to make
initial contact for help. FSI is publicized widely as the place for homeless and at‐risk families to go for
help. Homeless and at‐risk families call 2‐1‐1 and are directed to specific triage staff for short
assessment.
For the second‐year Action Plan, the City of Clearwater will support four (4) case management activities,
through Kimberly Home, Hope Villages of America (Grace House), St. Vincent de Paul Community
Kitchen and Resource Center, and WestCare Gulfcoast Florida, to assess the individual needs of
homeless and special needs persons at risk of homelessness, including unsheltered persons.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
As previously mentioned, the HLA annually conducts a Point‐in‐Time homeless count and prepares a
Homeless Assessment Report, both of which document the extent of homelessness in the community. In
addition to other metrics, these reports identify the number of individuals or families in emergency
shelter or transitional housing.
In the Clearwater area, homeless facilities such as emergency shelter and transitional housing are
provided by churches and non‐profit organizations, including but not limited to Homeless Emergency
Project (Homeless Empowerment Program or H.E.P.), Kimberly Home, Boley Centers, Hope Villages of
America, Salvation Army, and Family Resources (SafePlace2B), among others. Additionally, the HLA
maintains an online map‐based directory targeted to homeless persons that includes contact
information for emergency shelter, food and clothing assistance, and transitional housing services. This
directory also includes a map of Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) bus routes.
The City makes it a goal of the Consolidated Plan to prevent and reduce homelessness in Clearwater by
supporting programs that offer shelter facilities and beds for the homeless, and by assisting agencies
that engage in homeless prevention and service programs. For the second‐year Action Plan, the City will
support one (1) transitional shelter activity by improving the Kimberly Home facility that serves
homeless pregnant women.
Annual Action Plan
2021
85
OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 City will support, in coordination with the HLA, activities to end chronic homelessness in Clearwater.
CoC member agencies actively work to assist homeless individuals and families with making the
transition to more permanent housing and preventing such persons from becoming homeless again.
CoC member agencies support a “Housing First” approach to provide housing options regardless of
whether individuals or families meet otherwise common prerequisites for housing. National resource
around “Housing First” suggests that individuals and/or head‐of‐household members who have been
homeless are more successful in achieving self‐sufficiency when housing stability is acquired first,
regardless of whether they are sober or financially self‐sufficient in the beginning. Once their housing
situation is stabilized, their ability to achieve sobriety, financial stability, or overcome other common
barriers to housing dramatically improves. This is typically achieved by rapid‐rehousing and other
interim housing strategies such as targeted transitional or permanent supportive housing to obtain
housing quickly, increase self‐sufficiency, and stay housed.
For the second‐year Action Plan, the City will support one (1) permanent supportive housing activity,
through H.E.P., by improving a H.E.P. facility that provides housing to homeless persons with disabilities,
including Veterans. Additionally, the City will continue to support an array of activities that, when
combined, may shorten the duration of homelessness, help persons transition to more stable housing,
and/or provide access to affordable housing. Such activities may include case management, emergency
shelter and transitional housing, behavioral and mental health services, supportive services for the
elderly, facilities for the disabled, referrals to appropriate housing providers, affordable housing unit
construction or rehabilitation, homebuyer education, down payment assistance, and access to economic
opportunities.
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.
For the second‐year Action Plan, the City of Clearwater will continue to coordinate referrals for facilities
and services available in the community that support lower‐income individuals. In addition to
Annual Action Plan
2021
86
OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
programmed case management activities through Kimberly Home, Hope Villages of America (Grace
House), and WestCare Gulfcoast Florida, the City will support case management and facility
improvements at the St. Vincent de Paul Community Kitchen and Resource Center, which is also used by
the Pinellas Ex‐Offender Re‐Entry Coalition (PERC). The Community Kitchen and Resource Center
provides not only case management, but referrals to other resources and programs depending on client
needs. Such programs include PERC’s STARS and MOVE UP programs, which provide job training and
skills toward self‐sufficiency.
The City will also continue to work with housing and homeless service providers to implement a
cohesive, communitywide discharge coordination policy. Such policy must be successfully implemented
to ensure that persons being released from publicly funded institutions do not become homeless upon
release. Other examples of such efforts, in addition to PERC, include the Pinellas County Sheriff
Department’s Operation PAR, which allows ex‐offenders to receive substance abuse treatment, and the
State’s “Transition from Prison to Community Initiative” (TPCI).
Discussion
For the second‐year Action Plan, the City will support the following activities toward the goal of
preventing and reducing homelessness:
Homeless Emergency Project (Homeless Empowerment Program or H.E.P.) – Funding to improve
permanent supportive housing facility for homeless individuals with disabilities, including
Veterans (32 persons assisted).
Hope Villages of America – Salary support for case management (100 persons assisted).
Kimberly Home – Salary support for case management at transitional housing facility (38
persons assisted).
St. Vincent de Paul – Funding to renovate/expand Community Kitchen and Resource Center (490
persons assisted) and salary support for case management (96 persons assisted).
In total, these activities will assist an estimated 234 persons during the second‐year Action Plan through
case management to either prevent homelessness or reduce the duration of homelessness. Additionally,
the City will support the rehabilitation of two (2) homeless facilities (H.E.P. Permanent Supportive
Housing and St. Vincent de Paul Community Kitchen and Resource Center) that will serve 522 persons in
total.
For the second‐year Action Plan, the City has programmed an array of homeless activities to address the
need for case management and facilities and services for homeless adults and families. The City will
continue to coordinate with the HLA and Continuum of Care, including numerous homeless service
providers operating in the greater Clearwater area.

AP‐75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
This section of the Annual Action Plan summarizes actions the City of Clearwater will undertake during
the program year to reduce barriers to affordable housing and influence whether the cost of housing or
the incentives to develop, maintain, or improve affordable housing are affected by public policies,
particularly those of the local jurisdiction. Such policies may include land use controls, zoning
ordinances, building codes, and policies that affect the return on residential investment.
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 City of Clearwater has several strategies that it utilizes to remove or ameliorate the negative effects
of public policies that are barriers to affordable housing. These strategies are documented in the City’s
2021 Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP), which is a reporting requirement of the State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. The City’s ongoing actions to remove or ameliorate the barriers
to affordable housing, as identified in the City’s LHAP and Local Housing Incentive Strategies (LHIS)
documents, include the following:
Expedited review process for permitting
Modification of fees
Flexible densities
Infrastructure capacity
Accessory dwelling units
Parking reductions
Flexible lot configurations
Modification of street requirements
Pre‐adoption policy consideration
Inventory of public lands
Proximity to transportation, employment, and mixed‐use development
Adaptive reuse
Land development code
Communication and marketing of affordable housing

The City of Clearwater will continue to implement strategies to remove or ameliorate the negative
effects of public policies that are barriers to affordable housing. These strategies are detailed in the
City’s 2021 LHAP report. Of note, the City recently coordinated with Pinellas County to prepare a
regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice report, which was completed in 2020. The City
also currently participates in the Advantage Pinellas Housing Compact and the Pinellas County
Countywide Housing Strategy, which are joint programs for the provision of affordable housing.

Introduction:
This section of the Annual Action Plan describes the City of Clearwater’s planned actions to carry out the
following strategies in the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan:
Foster and maintain affordable housing;
Evaluate and reduce lead‐based paint hazards;
Reduce the number of poverty‐level families;
Develop institutional structure; and
Enhance coordination.
In addition, the City has identified obstacles to meeting underserved needs and proposed actions to
overcome those obstacles.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The major obstacle to meeting underserved needs is the lack of financial resources among housing and
public service providers that support the City of Clearwater’s institutional delivery structure.
To address such obstacles, the City will administer CDBG funds to pursue the goal of enhancing the living
environment for persons in low‐ and moderate‐income areas through community development
activities, public service programs, and the elimination of blight. Priority will be given to the City’s
Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas, where need is greatest, when opportunities present. The
City will also pursue the goal of expanding the accessibility and coordination of social services to the
City’s special needs population.
Some of the programmed activities to meet underserved needs during the second year include, but are
not limited to, the following:
Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services – Facility improvements to support a Head Start
program in the North Greenwood NRSA
Directions for Living – Facility improvements to support mental and behavioral health services
Pinellas County Ex‐Offender Re‐Entry Program – Facility improvements and case management to
support an ex‐offender re‐entry program in the Downtown Gateway District NRSA
Clearwater MLK Jr. Neighborhood Center – Facility improvements to benefit low‐ and moderate‐
income residents of the North Greenwood NRSA
R’Club Early Learning Academy – Facility improvements at two Early Learning Academy locations
in the North Greenwood NRSA and Downtown Gateway District NRSA
Pinellas Opportunity Council – Chore services program serving the elderly
InterCultural Advocacy Institute – Salary support for leadership program benefitting low‐ and

moderate‐income youth
Gulfcoast Legal Services – Salary support for legal services program benefitting low‐ and
moderate‐income persons
WestCare Gulfcoast Florida – Case management services for substance abuse treatment
Additional activities to meet underserved needs are described previously with regard to homelessness
(AP‐65) and subsequently with regard to affordable housing and economic development (AP‐85, as
follows).
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
Consistent with the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan, the City of Clearwater will pursue the goal of
providing availability of, and access to, decent affordable housing for the residents of the City. To this
end, the City has programmed 17 housing activities that meet the following objectives of the Strategic
Plan:
Preserve the existing housing stock.
Increase the availability of affordable housing units.
Assist qualified low‐ and moderate‐income households to become homeowners through
supporting agencies that provide housing counseling.
Provide mortgage assistance for low‐ and moderate‐income homebuyers.
Programmed activities to foster and maintain affordable housing during the second year include the
following:
Owner and renter housing rehabilitation program
Construction of new owner and renter occupied housing
Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) housing activities
Revolving Loan Program to offer loans for homeowners and non‐profit agencies for eligible
housing activities
These activities preserve the existing housing stock through rehabilitation of aging units, increase the
availability of affordable housing through new construction, and improve access to affordable housing
through homebuyer education and down payment assistance for qualified low‐ and moderate‐income
households.
Actions planned to reduce lead‐based paint hazards
The City will continue to include lead‐based paint education and mitigation measures in all housing
rehabilitation activities and, if needed, will identify and apply for additional funding resources to finance
abatement. Contractors are required to be trained and certified to supervise removal of lead‐based

OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
paint hazards to comply with HUD regulations. Furthermore, subrecipients of the City’s CDBG and HOME
funding devise their own lead‐based paint hazard programs to comply with HUD regulations for
rehabilitation projects.
Additionally, the City will continue to coordinate with agencies in the Clearwater area that screen
residents for elevated blood levels (EBL) and inspect housing units for lead‐based paint hazards. These
agencies include the Pinellas County Health Department and the Clearwater and Pinellas County housing
authorities, among others.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty‐level families
According to the 2015‐2019 American Community Survey (ACS) estimates, 15.4% of people living in the
City of Clearwater are below poverty level. To combat this trend, the City will continue to coordinate
with various agencies that support poverty‐level families. These agencies also provide services to other
homeless and non‐homeless special needs populations, as well as low‐ and moderate‐income families.
Such services include referrals to affordable housing, employment assistance/job training, and other
activities to promote economic opportunity.
Additionally, through the Economic Development and Housing Department, the City will promote
economic opportunity by providing technical assistance to small businesses and job training programs.
For the second‐year Action Plan, the City will support such programs, including those offered by the
Pinellas Ex‐Offender Re‐Entry Coalition (e.g., STARS and MOVE UP programs), Tampa Bay Black Business
Investment Corp. (microenterprise assistance), and Hispanic Business Initiative Fund of Florida/Prospera
(microenterprise assistance). The City will also support the InterCultural Advocacy Institute’s Youth
Leadership Partnership Program. These programs provide advocacy and mentoring toward self‐
sufficiency and academic, employment, and business success.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Clearwater has a strong institutional delivery structure. The City will continue to work with its
own departments and various housing and public service providers, as well as their programs, to expand
opportunities and to make continuous improvements to the institutional delivery structure. Continued
actions will include solicitation of feedback on referral processes and other means of coordination
between such providers and the City of Clearwater.
For the second‐year Action Plan, the City will support an array of activities that strengthen the
institutional delivery structure’s ability to serve persons of low‐ and moderate‐income, persons with
special needs, and the homeless. These activities include, but are not limited to, facilities and case
management for homeless adults and families; mental and behavioral health services; public services for
the elderly and youth; improvements to community buildings and resource centers; code
enforcement/blight elimination; building façade improvements; economic opportunity and business
assistance; housing legal services and referrals to appropriate housing providers; affordable housing unit

construction or rehabilitation; homebuyer education; and down payment assistance.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City of Clearwater will continue to coordinate with housing and public service providers to develop
an effective institutional delivery structure and enhance interagency coordination.
The City continues to work with regional housing authorities, such as the Clearwater Housing Authority
and Pinellas County Housing Authority, to improve access to public housing and tenant‐based rental
assistance. Although the funding for public housing authorities is limited, and competition for affordable
housing is high, these agencies continue to provide housing‐related activities, such as rental assistance,
rehabilitation, and new construction, for low‐income persons. Input from public housing authorities is
regularly solicited during preparation of the City’s Annual Action Plan.
Additionally, the City promotes coordination between non‐profit and private for‐profit housing
providers through its Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB), through the SHIP‐
mandated Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) in conjunction with the LHAP and LHIS
reports, and through the annual Action Plan process. Moreover, annual meetings in conjunction with
the Action Plan provide an opportunity for these providers to interact.
Public service providers in the greater Clearwater area provide a wide array of services for low‐ and
moderate‐income persons. These organization typically have a specific target population that they serve
(e.g., the homeless, persons with special needs, low‐income families, etc.), and accordingly possess a
level of knowledge and expertise that is invaluable when identifying underserved needs. The
continuation and expansion of these public services will be encouraged over the second year by means
of matching programs with funding, as available. The City recognizes that improved coordination
between housing and public service providers is regularly solicited during preparation of the City’s
annual Action Plan.
Discussion:
For the second‐year Action Plan, the City will support activities that will address underserved needs
through community development and public services; foster and maintain affordable housing through
rehabilitation, new construction, and homebuyer assistance; reduce lead‐based paint hazards through
responsible rehabilitation; reduce the number of poverty‐level families through a combination of
mentoring and economic development; and develop institutional delivery structure through a network
of community partners, including the City and its departments. Additionally, the City will continue to
encourage coordination between public housing authorities, non‐profit and private for‐profit housing
providers, and public service providers through the NAHAB and AHAC, annual Action Plan participation,
and regular day‐to‐day referrals through the Economic Development and Housing Department.

Describe the consultation process including methods used and dates of consultation:
The City of Clearwater developed a robust consultation process to meet HUD’s requirements and
to ensure that the city is considering all priorities and needs within the community. On January
20, 2022, the City of Clearwater held a HOME-ARP Funding workshop to consult with local
service providers, housing providers, and other groups that work to address the needs of
qualifying populations. There were representatives from approximately a dozen organizations in
attendance; further information about all consultation is detailed in the table below. In addition to
a workshop, the city formed a selection committee, the Technical Review Committee (TRC), to
score and select the projects for HOME-ARP Funding. The TRC met on February 18, 2022, and
is comprised of several city staff, representatives from the Salvation Army, Pinellas Community
2
Foundation, and the Homeless Leadership Alliance of Pinellas. These are the agencies that
uniquely serve the qualifying populations under HOME-ARP.

Summarize feedback received and results of upfront consultation with these entities:
All agencies were consulted through the HOME-ARP Funding Workshop and the Technical
Review Committee. The Technical Review Committee, comprised of organizations representing
Qualifying Populations, used input garnered from the HOME-ARP Funding Workshop to select
projects for the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. The priority needs identified through consultation
with these organizations were additional affordable rental units, rental assistance, and rapid
rehousing for homeless prevention. When considering applications submitted in response to the
HOME-ARP NOFA, the Technical Review Committee selected projects that specifically
addressed these needs.
Public Participation
In accordance with Section V.B of the Notice (page 13), PJs must provide for and encourage
citizen participation in the development of the HOME-ARP allocation plan. Before submission
of the plan, PJs must provide residents with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on
the proposed HOME-ARP allocation plan of no less than 15 calendar days. The PJ must
follow its adopted requirements for “reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment” for plan
amendments in its current citizen participation plan. In addition, PJs must hold at least one
4
public hearing during the development of the HOME-ARP allocation plan and prior to
submission.
PJs are required to make the following information available to the public:
The amount of HOME-ARP the PJ will receive, and
The range of activities the PJ may undertake.
Throughout the HOME-ARP allocation plan public participation process, the PJ must follow its
applicable fair housing and civil rights requirements and procedures for effective
communication, accessibility, and reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities and
providing meaningful access to participation by limited English proficient (LEP) residents that
are in its current citizen participation plan as required by 24 CFR 91.105 and 91.115.
Template:
Describe the public participation process, including information about and the dates of the
public comment period and public hearing(s) held during the development of the plan:

Public comment period: start date - 5/4/2022 end date - 6/2/2022
Date(s) of public hearing: 6/2/2022
Describe the public participation process:
In accordance with HUD guidelines, the City of Clearwater held a public comment period that
was at least 15 days to obtain comments from Clearwater residents, agencies, and anyone else
who wished to review and comment on the plan. Following the public comment period, the city
held a public hearing with the Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board
(NAHAB) and with the City Council. The NAHAB is tasked with making recommendations to
the City Council about the use of federal funds. The proposed funding activities are first heard by
the NAHAB and then heard by the City Council, upon NAHAB’s recommendation. The
NAHAB public hearing took place on May 10, 2022, and the City Council public hearing for
adoption of the substantial amendment to approve the HOME-ARP Funding Allocation Plan was
held on June 2, 2022.
On September 10, 2023, a second public notice and public comment period was held for 30 days,
for a substantial amendment to add Supportive Services as a proposed activity under the HOME-
ARP Allocation Plan, and to reprogram funding accordingly. Following the second public
comment period, the city held another public hearing with the NAHAB and City Council, on
November 14, 2023, and November 16, 2023, respectively, to approve the substantial
amendment to add Supportive Services and reprogram funding.
On March 19, 2025, a third public notice and public comment period was held for 30 days for a
substantial amendment to reprogram HOME-ARP funding from Supportive Services and Tenant-
5
Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to Affordable Rental Housing under the HOME-ARP
Allocation Plan. Following the third public comment period, the city held public hearings with
the NAHAB and City Council, on May 13, 2025, and June 5, 2025, respectively, to approve the
substantial amendment to reprogram HOME-ARP funding to Affordable Rental Housing.
Describe efforts to broaden public participation:
The City of Clearwater published public notices for the NAHAB and City Council public
hearings in an effort to broaden public awareness and participation in the development of the
allocation plan. A 15-day public comment period is required; however, the city is holding a 30-
day public comment period to allow more time for citizens to review the plan and provide
comment. Additionally, the city followed its citizen participation plan, which guides all public
participation efforts in a manner that promotes transparency and encourages active participation
from residents, especially those qualifying populations.
Summarize the comments and recommendations received through the public participation
process either in writing, or orally at a public hearing:
Feedback received during the HOME-ARP Funding workshop and the public participation
process identified an apparent need for affordable rental units, rental assistance, and rapid
rehousing for homeless prevention, on which the City of Clearwater will focus its allocation.
Summarize any comments or recommendations not accepted and state the reasons why:
All comments and recommendations were accepted and considered in the development of this
allocation plan.
Needs Assessment and Gaps Analysis
In accordance with Section V.C.1 of the Notice (page 14), a PJ must evaluate the size and
demographic composition of all four of the qualifying populations within its boundaries and
assess the unmet needs of each of those populations. If the PJ does not evaluate the needs of one
of the qualifying populations, then the PJ has not completed their Needs Assessment and Gaps
Analysis. In addition, a PJ must identify any gaps within its current shelter and housing
inventory as well as the service delivery system. A PJ should use current data, including point in
time count, housing inventory count, or other data available through CoCs, and consultations
with service providers to quantify the individuals and families in the qualifying populations and
their need for additional housing, shelter, or services.

Describe the size and demographic composition of qualifying populations within the PJ’s
boundaries:
Homeless as defined in 24 CFR 91.5
Homelessness affects all races and ethnicities; however, in Clearwater, white and black
individuals are most impacted by homelessness. Of the 2,226 homeless individuals counted in
the 2020 Point-In-Time counts for the continuum of care, 1,380 (nearly 62%) individuals were
white, and 719 (over 32%) of individuals were black. The remaining 6% of homeless individuals
identified as other minority races. Only about 7.6% of the total counted homeless population
identified as Hispanic or Latino.
More than 83% of all homeless individuals counted were adults in households without children.
There were 350 (nearly 16%) homeless individuals counted in households with children, and 22
homeless individuals counted in households that contained only children (under the age of 18).
At Risk of Homelessness as defined in 24 CFR 91.5
According to the FY 2021 Low- and Moderate-Income Summary Data, there are approximately
60,520 low- and moderate-income individuals within the City of Clearwater. This represents
over 52% of the total population, based on the 2016-2020 American Community Survey. Of the
city’s 115 Block Groups, 42 Block Groups are characterized as having more than 51.00% of its
population designated as low- and moderate-income. This suggests that a significant percentage
of Clearwater’s population has an income of less than 80% AMI and may be at increased risk of
homelessness or in need of additional supportive services and assistance to prevent homelessness
and housing instability.
According to 2011-2015 CHAS, there are 460 low- and moderate-income households (<80%
AMI) that experience crowding of more than 1 person per room. Additionally, there are 3,115
households in the 0-30% AMI income group that are experiencing cost burden greater than 30%,
and 2,755 households in the 0-30% AMI group that are experiencing cost burden greater than
50%. Due to crowding, income levels, and cost burdens, the households within these groups are
at risk of homelessness.
Fleeing, or Attempting to Flee, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault,
Stalking, or Human Trafficking, as defined by HUD in the Notice
In total, 184 (about 8%) homeless individuals counted identified themselves as victims of
domestic violence. According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, there were 6,111
domestic violence offenses in Pinellas County alone in 2020. There were also 450 reports of rape
in Pinellas County for the same year. Considering that Clearwater makes up approximately 12%
of the total population in Pinellas County, it can be assumed that there may be 733 domestic
violence offenses and 54 reports of rape that occurred within Clearwater. Victims of these crimes
are susceptible to homelessness and housing insecurity.
8
Other populations requiring services or housing assistance to prevent homelessness and
other populations at greatest risk of housing instability, as defined by HUD in the Notice
The 2020 homeless Point-In-Time count identifies 265 homeless veterans, representing about
12% of the homeless population. According to the 2019 Homeless leadership Alliance HMIS
report for the 1-year period between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, it is estimated that
there are 969 veterans experiencing homelessness each year and 518 veterans becoming
homeless each year within the St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo/Pinellas County Continuum of
Care. It can be assumed that there are nearly 1,500 veterans who experience or become homeless
each year in Pinellas County, suggesting that about 180 veterans in Clearwater alone experience
or become homeless each year.
Identify and consider the current resources available to assist qualifying populations,
including congregate and non-congregate shelter units, supportive services, TBRA, and
affordable and permanent supportive rental housing (Optional):
There is a wide array of existing homelessness prevention services available in Clearwater,
including counseling, legal assistance, mortgage assistance, rental assistance, utilities assistance,
law enforcement, mobile clinics, street outreach services, drug and alcohol abuse services,
childcare, education services, employment and employment training services, healthcare
services, life skills training, mental health counselling, transportation services, and food banks.
In the Clearwater area, homeless services such as emergency shelter and transitional housing are
provided by churches and non-profit organizations. Some of these organizations include the
Homeless Emergency Project, Inc. (Homeless Empowerment Program), Kimberly Home, Boley
Centers, Hope Villages of America, Salvation Army, and Family Resources, Inc., among others.
To better address the needs of the area’s homeless population, the Homeless Leadership Alliance
maintains an online map-based directory of emergency shelter and transitional housing services,
as well as food and clothing assistance targeted to homeless persons. The database connects to
the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority route maps. Information regarding homeless resources is
also disseminated through the 2-1-1 Tampa Bay Cares, Inc. hotline.
Describe the unmet housing and service needs of qualifying populations:
Homeless as defined in 24 CFR 91.5
In the Clearwater area, homeless services such as emergency shelter and transitional housing are
provided by churches and non-profit organizations. Some of these organizations include the
Homeless Emergency Project, Inc. (Homeless Empowerment Program), Kimberly Home, Boley
Centers, Hope Villages of America, Salvation Army, and Family Resources, Inc., among others.
These existing shelters and supportive service providers need additional funding to ensure
satisfactory provision of services and future expansion of these services for those experiencing
homelessness.
9
At Risk of Homelessness as defined in 24 CFR 91.5
The 5-year consolidated plan identifies priorities related to persons experiencing homelessness.
Among these needs are substance abuse and behavioral/metal health services, services for
homeless youth and youth aging out of foster care, homeless facilities and shelters, and case
management. While there are existing shelters and supportive services for those experiencing
homelessness, there may be a need for additional supportive services to prevent homelessness,
including transitional housing, emergency assistance and other moving assistance (rental deposit
assistance, security deposit), and other rental assistance and utility assistance efforts. These
efforts also contribute to the maintenance and availability of affordable housing for all income
groups, especially those qualifying populations.
Fleeing, or Attempting to Flee, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault,
Stalking, or Human Trafficking, as defined by HUD in the Notice
Populations with unstable living environments may require additional financial assistance, such
as rental assistance, down payment assistance, or utility assistance. These groups may also rely
on transitional shelters and safe homes for temporary housing. Additional funding for
organizations that provide these services would ensure that sufficient and decent housing is
available for those that depend on it.
Other populations requiring services or housing assistance to prevent homelessness and
other populations at greatest risk of housing instability as defined by HUD in the Notice
For those non-homeless populations, additional affordable rental housing units and supportive
counseling is also needed to reduce existing homelessness and prevent future homelessness.
Identify any gaps within the current shelter and housing inventory as well as the service
delivery system:
Clearwater has a robust shelter, housing, and service delivery system for those individuals
experiencing homelessness and who are at risk of becoming homeless. Some identified gaps may
exist, including sufficient funding to support the volume and reach of homeless supportive
services (including non-profit service providers that offer substance abuse and mental health
services, services for homeless youth, and case management). The city will continue to
financially support these programs, when possible, and aid in the identification of additional
funding sources, and provide technical assistance to aid in the completion of grant applications.
The city maintains a strong relationship with service providers, and included many of them in the
consultation and production of this plan. The input received from these service providers during
the consultation process was critical to the identification of needs. Their involvement ensures
successful programming ang lessens the existing gaps in providing homeless needs and other
supportive services for qualifying populations.
The city is very engaged with the Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance, supporting the
organization in the implementation of the 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness; additional,
improved, and maintained coordination between these service providers, and the city would
10
benefit those populations at risk of homelessness and those experiencing homelessness by
promoting a transparent and accessible communication strategy. Improved coordination would
increase the dissemination of information about critical resources and supportive services, as
well as improve the quality of those services.
An identified gap is the need for additional transitional or permanent supportive housing; one
way to reduce this need is for the city to coordinate with the continuum of care, non-profit
service providers, and other organizations to encourage the development of these programs and
these types of housing.
Under Section IV.4.2.ii.G of the HOME-ARP Notice, a PJ may provide additional
characteristics associated with instability and increased risk of homelessness in their HOME-
ARP allocation plan. These characteristics will further refine the definition of “other
populations” that are “At Greatest Risk of Housing Instability,” as established in the HOME-
ARP Notice. If including these characteristics, identify them here:
Housing with 1 or more housing problems is associated with instability. As shown in the table
above, there are 5,005 households earning less than 50% AMI with at least one housing problem.
Additionally, households experiencing cost burden and crowding may experiencing housing
instability and be at a greater risk of homelessness. According to the 2011-2015 CHAS data,
there are 460 low- and moderate-income households (<80% AMI) that experience crowding of
more than 1 person per room. Additionally, there are 3,115 households in the 0-30% AMI
income group that are experiencing cost burden greater than 30%, and 2,755 households in the 0-
30% AMI group that are experiencing cost burden greater than 50%.
Identify priority needs for qualifying populations:
While there are a number of important priority needs, as listed in the city’s five-year
consolidated plan, this allocation plan will focus on the priority needs listed below:
1. Affordable housing development (production of new rental units)
2. Facilities/Services for Victims of Domestic Violence (TBRA)
3. Rental Assistance
4. Homeless prevention (through diversion services, utility assistance, move-in assistance)
Explain how the PJ determined the level of need and gaps in the PJ’s shelter and housing
inventory and service delivery systems based on the data presented in the plan:
The most recent Housing Inventory Counts (January 2021) and Point-In-Time counts (January
2020) were used to develop the data presented in the tables and narrative above. The 2011-2015
CHAS and 2016-2020 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates were used to supplement
the housing inventory and point-in-time county. Based on reported numbers, there are currently
sufficient shelter beds for those populations experiencing homelessness; however, it should be
assumed that the reported count for homeless populations is an undercount. There is likely a gap
in affordable housing for low- and moderate-income populations earning less than 50% AMI.
There are only 600 units considered affordable to extremely low-income populations earning less
11
than 30% AMI and only 1,815 rental units affordable to populations earning less than 50% AMI.
This leaves 17,614 rental units that are unaffordable to over 12,000 households that earn less
than 50% AMI, according to the 2011-2015 CHAS data. Additionally, over 5,000 renter
households with an income less than 50% AMI live in a house with one or more housing
problems. This represents over 40% of the total low-income population earning less than 50%
AMI, suggesting there is a need for additional decent, affordable rental units.
Gaps related to coordination and supportive services were identified using previous performance
of similar programs and previously identified community needs, as identified in the 2020/2021-
2024/2025 Consolidated Plan. Additionally, through the consultation process the city gauged
needs and gaps based on outreach to service providers.
HOME-ARP Activities
Template:
Describe the method(s)that will be used for soliciting applications for funding and/or selecting
developers, service providers, subrecipients and/or contractors:
The city accepted applications for proposed projects by local developers, service providers, and
nonprofit organizations on the city’s website. All proposed project applications submitted a
description of the organization, a project description, and requested funding amount. The City of
Clearwater developed a Technical Review Committee which was comprised of city staff and
local service providers. This committee reviewed all applications for their compliance with the
HOME-ARP program and benefits to qualifying populations to determine which projects to
allocate funding to.
Describe whether the PJ will administer eligible activities directly:
Funding for eligible activities will be allocated directly to subrecipients with program
compliance oversight and general administration/planning conducted by the city of Clearwater.
If any portion of the PJ’s HOME-ARP administrative funds are provided to a subrecipient or
contractor prior to HUD’s acceptance of the HOME-ARP allocation plan because the
subrecipient or contractor is responsible for the administration of the PJ’s entire HOME-ARP
grant, identify the subrecipient or contractor and describe its role and responsibilities in
administering all of the PJ’s HOME-ARP program:
Not applicable.
In accordance with Section V.C.2. of the Notice (page 4), PJs must indicate the amount of
HOME-ARP funding that is planned for each eligible HOME-ARP activity type and demonstrate
that any planned funding for nonprofit organization operating assistance, nonprofit capacity
building, and administrative costs is within HOME-ARP limits.

Describe how the PJ will distribute HOME-ARP funds in accordance with its priority needs
identified in its needs assessment and gap analysis:
The following list includes descriptions of the proposed activities and their desired impact to
address the gaps and priority needs:
1. HOME-ARP Supportive Services
Amount Requested: $691,9380
Purpose of Funding: If HOME-ARP funding becomes available, Tthe City of
Clearwater will contract with subrecipients to provide supportive services to Qualifying
Populations under the HOME-ARP program. The supportive services to be contracted
will be eligible costs for McKinney-Vento Supportive Services and Homeless Prevention
Services, including but not limited to housing search and counseling services, life skills
training, case management, landlord/tenant liaison services, and financial assistance
costs.
2. HOME-ARP Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
Amount Requested: $200,0000
Purpose of Funding: If HOME-ARP funding becomes available, Tthe City of
Clearwater will contract with subrecipients to assist Housing Choice Voucher (HCV)
participants with HOME-ARP TBRA to obtain security deposit assistance. Participants
must be HOME-ARP Qualifying Populations who reside within the city limits of
Clearwater. Any portion of the proposed amount of $200,000 not used for HOME-ARP
TBRA will be applied towards HOME-ARP Supportive Services and/or HOME-ARP
Affordable Rental Housing.
3. HOME-ARP Affordable Rental Housing
Amount Requested: $500,0001,391,938
Purpose of Funding: The City of Clearwater will contract with subrecipients to produce
or preserve affordable rental units for HOME-ARP Qualifying Populations. If the
13
production of affordable rental units is not feasible, the proposed amount of
$500,0001,391,938, or any portion of that amount not used, will be applied towards
HOME-ARP Supportive Services and/or HOME-ARP TBRA.
As applicable to the activities described above, HOME-ARP Qualifying Populations are
described as: Homeless, as defined in section 103(a) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11302(a)); At-risk of homelessness, as defined in section 401(1) of the
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360(1)); Fleeing, or attempting to flee,
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, as defined by
the Secretary; Other populations where providing supportive services or assistance under section
212(a) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 12742(a)) would prevent the family’s homelessness or would serve
those with the greatest risk of housing instability; and Veterans and families that include a
veteran family member that meet one of the preceding criteria.
Projects associated with these activities may include supportive services, tenant-based rental
assistance, and/or development of affordable housing. Per HUD guidance and communication
with city staff, the city will keep record of funding that is spent as supportive services and how
many households benefit from this funding. These data will be monitored for future reporting.
Describe how the characteristics of the shelter and housing inventory, service delivery system,
and the needs identified in the gap analysis provided a rationale for the plan to fund eligible
activities:
As previously identified in the above sections, the qualitative and quantitative data presented
indicates a need for projects that support the identified priority needs (additional affordable
housing, homeless prevention, rental assistance, and related supportive services), and those that
close the gaps in service delivery (increased capacity for coordination, increased capacity to
support homeless populations and those at risk of becoming homeless, and those in transitional
housing).
HOME-ARP Production Housing Goals
Template
Estimate the number of affordable rental housing units for qualifying populations that the PJ
will produce or support with its HOME-ARP allocation:
The City will allocate HOME-ARP funds for affordable housing development. The funds will
aid in the development of 26 affordable rental housing units reserved for qualifying populations.
Additionally, 85 households will be assisted through TBRA. Supportive services are estimated to
benefit 222 persons or householdsAny portion of that allocation not used for affordable rental
housing will be applied toward HOME-ARP Supportive Services and/or HOME-ARP Tenant-
Based Rental Assistance (TBRA).
14
Describe the specific affordable rental housing production goal that the PJ hopes to achieve
and describe how the production goal will address the PJ’s priority needs:
The City of Clearwater’s 2020/2021-2024/2025 Consolidated Plan identifies the goal of
affordable housing, and estimates that 95 rental units will be constructed during the 5-year
consolidated planning period. Together, this 5-year goal and the HOME-ARP Affordable Rental
Housing project work towards addressing the city’s identified high priority need of new housing
construction for both renters and owners.
Preferences
A preference provides a priority for the selection of applicants who fall into a specific QP or
category (e.g., elderly or persons with disabilities) within a QP (i.e., subpopulation) to receive
assistance. A preference permits an eligible applicant that qualifies for a PJ-adopted preference
to be selected for HOME-ARP assistance before another eligible applicant that does not qualify
for a preference. A method of prioritization is the process by which a PJ determines how two or
more eligible applicants qualifying for the same or different preferences are selected for HOME-
ARP assistance. For example, in a project with a preference for chronically homeless, all
eligible QP applicants are selected in chronological order for a HOME-ARP rental project except
that eligible QP applicants that qualify for the preference of chronically homeless are selected for
occupancy based on length of time they have been homeless before eligible QP applicants who
do not qualify for the preference of chronically homeless.
Please note that HUD has also described a method of prioritization in other HUD guidance.
Section I.C.4 of Notice CPD-17-01 describes Prioritization in CoC CE as follows:
“Prioritization. In the context of the coordinated entry process, HUD uses the term
“Prioritization” to refer to the coordinated entry-specific process by which all persons in need of
assistance who use coordinated entry are ranked in order of priority. The coordinated entry
prioritization policies are established by the CoC with input from all community stakeholders
and must ensure that ESG projects are able to serve clients in accordance with written standards
that are established under 24 CFR 576.400(e). In addition, the coordinated entry process must,
to the maximum extent feasible, ensure that people with more severe service needs and levels of
vulnerability are prioritized for housing and homeless assistance before those with less severe
service needs and lower levels of vulnerability. Regardless of how prioritization decisions are
implemented, the prioritization process must follow the requirements in Section II.B.3. and
Section I.D. of this Notice.”
If a PJ is using a CE that has a method of prioritization described in CPD-17-01, then a PJ has
preferences and a method of prioritizing those preferences. These must be described in the
HOME-ARP allocation plan in order to comply with the requirements of Section IV.C.2 (page
10) of the HOME-ARP Notice.
15
In accordance with Section V.C.4 of the Notice (page 15), the HOME-ARP allocation plan must
identify whether the PJ intends to give a preference to one or more qualifying populations or a
subpopulation within one or more qualifying populations for any eligible activity or project.
Preferences cannot violate any applicable fair housing, civil rights, and nondiscrimination
requirements, including but not limited to those requirements listed in 24 CFR 5.105(a).
The PJ must comply with all applicable nondiscrimination and equal opportunity laws
and requirements listed in 24 CFR 5.105(a) and any other applicable fair housing and
civil rights laws and requirements when establishing preferences or methods of
prioritization.
While PJs are not required to describe specific projects in its HOME-ARP allocation plan to
which the preferences will apply, the PJ must describe the planned use of any preferences in its
HOME-ARP allocation plan. This requirement also applies if the PJ intends to commit HOME-
ARP funds to projects that will utilize preferences or limitations to comply with restrictive
eligibility requirements of another project funding source. If a PJ fails to describe preferences
or limitations in its plan, it cannot commit HOME-ARP funds to a project that will
implement a preference or limitation until the PJ amends its HOME-ARP allocation plan.
For HOME-ARP rental housing projects, Section VI.B.20.a.iii of the HOME-ARP Notice
(page 36) states that owners may only limit eligibility or give a preference to a particular
qualifying population or segment of the qualifying population if the limitation or
preference is described in the PJ’s HOME-ARP allocation plan. Adding a preference or
limitation not previously described in the plan requires a substantial amendment and a public
comment period in accordance with Section V.C.6 of the Notice (page 16).
Template:
Identify whether the PJ intends to give preference to one or more qualifying populations or a
subpopulation within one or more qualifying populations for any eligible activity or project:
The city of Clearwater does not intend to give preference to one or more qualifying populations.
If a preference was identified, explain how the use of a preference or method of prioritization
will address the unmet need or gap in benefits and services received by individuals and
families in the qualifying population or subpopulation of qualifying population, consistent
with the PJ’s needs assessment and gap analysis:
Not applicable.
Referral Methods
PJs are not required to describe referral methods in the plan. However, if a PJ intends to use a
coordinated entry (CE) process for referrals to a HOME-ARP project or activity, the PJ must
ensure compliance with Section IV.C.2 of the Notice (page10).
16
A PJ may use only the CE for direct referrals to HOME-ARP projects and activities (as opposed
to CE and other referral agencies or a waitlist) if the CE expands to accept all HOME-ARP
qualifying populations and implements the preferences and prioritization established by the PJ in
its HOME-ARP allocation plan. A direct referral is where the CE provides the eligible applicant
directly to the PJ, subrecipient, or owner to receive HOME-ARP TBRA, supportive services,
admittance to a HOME-ARP rental unit, or occupancy of a NCS unit. In comparison, an indirect
referral is where a CE (or other referral source) refers an eligible applicant for placement to a
project or activity waitlist. Eligible applicants are then selected for a HOME-ARP project or
activity from the waitlist.
The PJ must require a project or activity to use CE along with other referral methods (as
provided in Section IV.C.2.ii) or to use only a project/activity waiting list (as provided in Section
IV.C.2.iii) if:
1. the CE does not have a sufficient number of qualifying individuals and families to refer
to the PJ for the project or activity;
2. the CE does not include all HOME-ARP qualifying populations; or,
3. the CE fails to provide access and implement uniform referral processes in situations
where a project’s geographic area(s) is broader than the geographic area(s) covered by
the CE
If a PJ uses a CE that prioritizes one or more qualifying populations or segments of qualifying
populations (e.g., prioritizing assistance or units for chronically homeless individuals first, then
prioritizing homeless youth second, followed by any other individuals qualifying as homeless,
etc.) then this constitutes the use of preferences and a method of prioritization. To implement a
CE with these preferences and priorities, the PJ must include the preferences and method of
prioritization that the CE will use in the preferences section of their HOME-ARP allocation plan.
Use of a CE with embedded preferences or methods of prioritization that are not contained in the
PJ’s HOME-ARP allocation does not comply with Section IV.C.2 of the Notice (page10).
Template:
Identify the referral methods that the PJ intends to use for its HOME-ARP projects and
activities. PJ’s may use multiple referral methods in its HOME-ARP program. (Optional):
Since the city of Clearwater will not administer HOME-ARP projects directly (except for
administration/planning), the city defers to the Continuum of Care’s referral methods and
coordinated entry procedures. The Homeless Leadership Alliance (HLA) is the Continuum of
Care for the region, including the city of Clearwater. The HLA outlines their Coordinated Entry
and referral procedures here:

0/1647439647497/CE+Policies+and+Procedures+with+Attachments.pdf
If the PJ intends to use the coordinated entry (CE) process established by the CoC, describe
whether all qualifying populations eligible for a project or activity will be included in the CE
process, or the method by which all qualifying populations eligible for the project or activity
will be covered. (Optional):
17
The city will work with the HLA for coordinated entry procedures. Projects including referral
activities will be completed by corresponding HOME-ARP subrecipients.
If the PJ intends to use the CE process established by the CoC, describe the method of
prioritization to be used by the CE. (Optional):
Since the city of Clearwater will not administer HOME-ARP projects directly (except for
administration/planning), subrecipients are responsible for decisions related to referral method
prioritization, where relevant.
If the PJ intends to use both a CE process established by the CoC and another referral method
for a project or activity, describe any method of prioritization between the two referral
methods, if any. (Optional):
Since the city of Clearwater will not administer HOME-ARP projects directly (except for
administration/planning), subrecipients are responsible for decisions related to referral method
prioritization, where relevant.
Limitations in a HOME-ARP rental housing or NCS project
Limiting eligibility for a HOME-ARP rental housing or NCS project is only permitted under
certain circumstances.
PJs must follow all applicable fair housing, civil rights, and nondiscrimination
requirements, including but not limited to those requirements listed in 24 CFR 5.105(a).
This includes, but is not limited to, the Fair Housing Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act,
section 504 of Rehabilitation Act, HUD’s Equal Access Rule, and the Americans with
Disabilities Act, as applicable.
A PJ may not exclude otherwise eligible qualifying populations from its overall HOME-
ARP program.
Within the qualifying populations, participation in a project or activity may be limited to
persons with a specific disability only, if necessary, to provide effective housing, aid,
benefit, or services that would be as effective as those provided to others in accordance
with 24 CFR 8.4(b)(1)(iv). A PJ must describe why such a limitation for a project or
activity is necessary in its HOME-ARP allocation plan (based on the needs and gap
identified by the PJ in its plan) to meet some greater need and to provide a specific
benefit that cannot be provided through the provision of a preference.
For HOME-ARP rental housing, section VI.B.20.a.iii of the Notice (page 36) states that
owners may only limit eligibility to a particular qualifying population or segment of the
qualifying population if the limitation is described in the PJ’s HOME-ARP allocation
plan.
PJs may limit admission to HOME-ARP rental housing or NCS to households who need
the specialized supportive services that are provided in such housing or NCS. However,
no otherwise eligible individuals with disabilities or families including an individual with
a disability who may benefit from the services provided may be excluded on the grounds
that they do not have a particular disability.
18
Template
Describe whether the PJ intends to limit eligibility for a HOME-ARP rental housing or NCS
project to a particular qualifying population or specific subpopulation of a qualifying
population identified in section IV.A of the Notice:
The city of Clearwater does not intend to limit eligibility for a HOME-ARP rental housing or
NCS project to a particular Qualifying Population or specific subpopulation of a Qualifying
Population. Any individual who belongs to any of the Qualifying Populations under HOME-
ARP is eligible to benefit from the selected projects.
If a PJ intends to implement a limitation, explain why the use of a limitation is necessary to
address the unmet need or gap in benefits and services received by individuals and families in
the qualifying population or subpopulation of qualifying population, consistent with the PJ’s
needs assessment and gap analysis:
The city of Clearwater does not intend to implement a limitation to a particular Qualifying
Population or specific subpopulation of a Qualifying Population. Any individual who belongs to
any of the Qualifying Populations under HOME-ARP is eligible to benefit from the selected
projects.
If a limitation was identified, describe how the PJ will address the unmet needs or gaps in
benefits and services of the other qualifying populations that are not included in the limitation
through the use of HOME-ARP funds (i.e., through another of the PJ’s HOME-ARP projects
or activities):
Not applicable.
19
HOME-ARP Refinancing Guidelines
If the PJ intends to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily
rental housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME-ARP funds, the PJ must state its HOME-
ARP refinancing guidelines in accordance with 24 CFR 92.206(b). The guidelines must describe
the conditions under with the PJ will refinance existing debt for a HOME-ARP rental project,
including:
Establish a minimum level of rehabilitation per unit or a required ratio between
rehabilitation and refinancing to demonstrate that rehabilitation of HOME-ARP rental
housing is the primary eligible activity
Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing
debt secured by multi-family rental housing.
Require a review of management practices to demonstrate that disinvestment in the
property has not occurred; that the long-term needs of the project can be met; and that
the feasibility of serving qualified populations for the minimum compliance period can
be demonstrated.
Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing
debt secured by multi-family rental housing.
State whether the new investment is being made to maintain current affordable units,
create additional affordable units, or both.
Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing
debt secured by multi-family rental housing.
Specify the required compliance period, whether it is the minimum 15 years or longer.
Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing
debt secured by multi-family rental housing.
State that HOME-ARP funds cannot be used to refinance multifamily loans made or
insured by any federal program, including CDBG.
Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing
debt secured by multi-family rental housing.
Other requirements in the PJ’s guidelines, if applicable:

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the addition of one new bid line item with Equix Holdings, Inc., dba Equix Energy Services,
LLC, of Midway, FL, for the installation of a 16-inch pipeline and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Clearwater Gas System (CGS) is currently managing two major projects requiring the installation of
16-inch polyethylene (PE) casing pipe via Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD):
·A five-mile, 8-inch mainline extension crossing multiple wetlands in Pasco County to serve the new
Moffitt Cancer Center facility.
·An 8-inch mainline crossing the Tarpon Canal along Curlew Road for increased capacity and
reliability to serve the Oldsmar area of our distribution system.
The labor rate to install a 16-inch casing pipe was not anticipated at the time Invitation to Bid (ITB)
#23-23 was issued and awarded to Equix, therefore was not included in the existing scope of work. This
will be the first use of 16-inch casing for CGS. As a result, CGS requests the addition of a new line item
under Group #8, Item 38A of Equix’s contract (Directional Bore - Plastic 16-inch @ $180 per foot). CGS
estimates the cost of installation for the 16-inch casings for the above noted projects to be $1.6 million
dollars, (approximately 8,750 linear ft).
However, CGS does not anticipate the need to increase the total existing contract to Equix as it is
sufficiently funded.
This work is impractical to bid separately, as doing so would increase contractor liability due to
introducing a second contractor to the project site, resulting in overlapping work zones and introduce
additional complexities related to quality control for gas infrastructure.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are budgeted and available in 3237323-96378 (Pasco New Mains and Service Lines) and
3237323-96377 (Pinellas New Mains and Service Lines). These projects are funded by revenues from
the Gas Utility Enterprise Fund.
USE OF RESERVE FUNDS: N/A
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
Installing and maintaining natural gas pipelines to maintain public infrastructure and protect natural lands
by implementing environmentally friendly practices.

COPIES: Daniel Slaughter, Assistant City Manager
Alfred Battle Jr., Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Mid-Year budget review - amended City Manager's annual budget report
DATE: May 22, 2025
Attached is the mid-year budget review in accordance with the City Code of Ordinances.
This report is based on the first six months of activity in the current fiscal year (October 2024 through March
2025). Contained within are comments on major variances and documentation of all proposed
amendments.
Significant Fund amendments are outlined below:
General Fund
General Fund revenue and expenditure amendments reflect a net increase of $527,614.
The General Fund expenditure amendments at mid-year reflect the Council approved appropriation of
$490,000 of General Fund reserves for the Fire Boat Replacement project. Other amendments include an
increase of $37,614 to the Police Department operating budget for the purchase of flashlights and
accessories offset by revenues recognizing grant reimbursement from the Department of Justice.
General Fund Reserves: In order to ensure adequate reserves, the City Council’s policy reflects that General
Fund unappropriated fund reserves of 8.5% of the City’s budgeted General Fund expenditures must be
maintained as a reserve to guard against future emergencies.
Estimated General Fund reserves at mid-year are approximately $60.4 million, or 30.3% of the fiscal year
2024/25 General Fund expenditure budget, exceeding our minimum reserve requirement by $43.4
million.
Significant amendments to other city operating funds are noted as follows:
Stormwater Fund
Amendments to Stormwater Fund expenditures reflect an increase of $4,000,000 transferred to the
capital fund for the Stormwater Pipe System Improvements project to fund an increase to pipelining
contracts. This increase is offset by budgeted revenues and an allocation of fund reserves.
Mid-Year Budget Review
Fiscal Year 2024-25
Solid Waste and Recycling Fund
Amendments to Solid Waste and Recycling Fund expenditures reflect an increase of $6,196,158 to fund
the costs for debris removal from hurricanes Helene and Milton. An offsetting revenue amendment is
included to recognize reimbursements received from FEMA to date.
Parking Fund
Amendments to Parking Fund expenditures reflect a decrease of $6,000,000 to reduce the transfer to the
Downtown Parking Garage project which will replenish fund balance and reduce the project budget in line
with current construction estimates.
Garage Fund
Amendments to Garage Fund expenditures reflect an increase of $1,483,380. Amendments, which
represent allocations from fund reserves, include $1,303,880 transferred to the Motorola Conversion
project as previously approved by Council; and $179,500 transferred to the Motorized Equipment
Replacement project which represents the fiscal year 2023/24 approved project funding that was not
transferred last year in error leaving the capital fund short.
Capital Improvement Program

Amendments include the following increases previously approved by the Council: $1,303,880 in Garage
Fund revenues in the Motorola Conversion project; $490,000 in General Fund revenue in the Fire Boat
Replacement project; $492,000 in impact fee revenue for the Park Land Acquisition project; $435,772 in

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal to Bandes Construction Company, Inc. of Dunedin, FL in
the amount of $313,575.00 for permanent repairs to the Pier 60 bait house and temporary repairs to
railing west of the bait house pursuant to Construction Manager at Risk Services Continuing Contracts
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
On October 03, 2024, Council approved the use of eighteen firms to serve as Construction Managers at
Risk (CMAR) for Continuing Contracts under RFQ 51-24 and Bandes Construction Company, Inc. was
selected as one of the approved firms.
Pier 60 and the Pier 60 bait shop are approximately 29 years old. Between September 26 and 27 and
again between October 9 and 10 the structure sustained damage from Hurricanes Helene and Milton,
respectively. The City hired Pennoni Associates, Inc. to perform a structural assessment, identify and
document the damage, and provide repair recommendations.
The permanent repairs recommended by Pennoni include remove and replace turn style gate, interior
concrete floor repair, structural repair of wooden roof support columns, new LVP flooring throughout,
new epoxy flooring in restrooms, replacement of low voltage wiring, new light fixtures, drywall repair and
replacement, full interior paint system, new retail shelving and counter, new fire protection line and
fixtures. These repairs are needed to open the bait house for visitors of Clearwater Beach. Pennoni
also recommended temporary repairs to the railing west of the bait house to the “T” of the pier so that
patrons can use the pier up to that point for sightseeing and fishing.
The work by the contractor includes mobilizing on site with barges, scaffolding, tools, equipment, and
manpower to complete the work; clean up and demobilize from the site. The total cost for the
recommended repairs is $313,575.00.
On December 19, 2024, Council authorized Bandes to perform temporary repairs to Pier 60 to ensure
the structure was safe for the construction of permanent repairs and to prevent any further damage.
These efforts also allowed staff to access the bait house to conduct inventory and remove all
merchandise stored within the building.
Bandes Construction Company, Inc. was selected to perform these services based on their
responsiveness to the previous work to repair the pier up to the bait house and complete temporary
repairs to preserve the bait house. They worked diligently to complete all work to allow Pier 60 to open to
the bait house prior to Spring Break. Staff is confident they can handle the complexities of performing the
proposed permanent and temporary repairs of this project and have the bait house back opened to the
public by early August 2025.
Staff will be bringing a separate item to the council seeking direction regarding the permanent repairs
needed for the railing and “T” portion of the pier.
