INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Neighborhood and Housing Development plans to submit a Program Year (PY) 2024 Annual
Action Plan to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The PY
2024 Annual Action Plan contains a consolidated Federal grant application in the amount of
$9,477,415 for activities designed to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) Program
and the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program. The Neighborhood and Housing
Development received notification, by letter dated May 18, 2024, of the PY 2024 consolidated
allocation of $6,261,266 which includes funding in the amount of $3,645,249 for CDBG, $2,293,996
for HOME and $322,021 for ESG, for the program year period of July 1, 2024 through June 30,
2025. HUD requires Oakland County to estimate CDBG Home Improvement Program (HIP)
Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) and HOME Program Income (PI) at the time of each Annual Action Plan
application and reconciliation of actual RLF and PI at the end of each program year and at grant
acceptance. The PY 2024 Annual Action Plan estimates CDBG Home Improvement Program
Revolving Loan Fund at $1,000,000 and HOME Investment Partnerships Act Grant Program Income
at $1,700,000. The total program revenue for the PY 2024 CDBG Program is $4,645,249, which
includes the grant allocation amount of $3,645,249 and estimated CDBG Revolving Loan Funds of
$1,000,000, with no County match required. The total program revenue for the PY 2024 HOME
Program is $4,510,145, which includes a grant allocation amount of $2,293,996, a grant match of
$516,149, and an estimated HOME Program Income of $1,700,000. The HOME program requires a
25% match for all housing activities which is appropriated in the General Fund. The ESG grant
requires a 100% match for volunteer services, donations or cash contributions, which are met by the
ESG service agencies with no County funds required. The application includes funding to continue
twenty-four (24) Special Revenue positions as identified in Schedule B. The PY 2024 Annual Action
Plan was unanimously endorsed by the Citizen Advisory Council. At the time of the grant award,
HUD requires Oakland County to have annual Agreements with each Subrecipient with the purpose
and intent of passing those responsibilities to each Subrecipient to carry out the project(s) described
in the CDBG application.
POLICY ANALYSIS
Application of this grant does not obligate the county to any future commitment and continuation of
this program is contingent upon continued future levels of grant funding.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: No

Mr. David Coulter
County Executive of Oakland County
2100 Pontiac Lake Road
Building 41W
Waterford, MI 48328-0409
Dear Mr. Coulter:
Congratulations! I am pleased to give you formal notice of your jurisdiction’s Fiscal
Year 2024 (FY24) allocations for the Office of Community Planning and Development’s (CPD)
formula programs. Your jurisdiction’s FY24 available amounts are as follows:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)
$3,645,249.00
$322,021.00
$2,293,996.19
These grant funds provide the financial tools to support low-to-moderate income
individuals, families, and communities to address homelessness, affordable housing challenges,
aging infrastructure, and economic hardships. CPD is committed to being your partner
throughout the process of using these funds. Our local office will assist in finalizing grant
agreements, offer technical assistance, training when needed, monitor and implement grant funds
for eligible projects in a timely manner. The Department of Housing and Urban Development
will work with your team to ensure proper reporting in the Integrated Disbursement and
Information System to improve performance data on how these programs are benefitting and
touching people’s lives, build trust with stakeholder groups, Congress, and amplify the success
stories that you and your jurisdiction are able to accomplish with these vital resources.
In addition, you also have $18,226,245 in available Section 108 borrowing authority
based on your CDBG allocation and outstanding Section 108 balances as of May 14, 2024.
Since Section 108 loans are federally guaranteed, this allows your jurisdiction to borrow up to
five times of your current CDBG allocation to access loan capital for larger projects at a low
interest rate. HUD encourages you to consider using this CDBG multiplier for high priority
housing projects, such as housing rehabilitation and conversion of nonresidential properties to
residential uses and mixed-use development. This could help fill gaps left by Congress’ cut to
the HOME program for FY24.
As you begin to plan for the use of FY24 grant funding, please also consider having
strategic conversations with your local team to ensure that existing grants are being maximized
to meet your local priorities and community needs. A few questions that you might consider
asking:
2
www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov
• What were our goals in our most recent Consolidated Plan? How did our commitments
in FY23 and previous Action Plans support those goals?
• Do we have any expiring funds? Are there plans to use our funding from past years
before the end of the period of performance?
• What, if any, findings have HUD / the Office of Inspector General made against our
jurisdiction in the last five years? What have we done to address those findings?
The combination of higher mortgage interest rates, limited for-sale housing inventory,
and high home prices has created a challenging environment for homebuyers – particularly low-
income families seeking to purchase their first home. In preparing the annual action plan for
your jurisdiction’s CPD formula funds, we urge you to consider how your HOME Program and
other funds may be used to increase the supply of modestly priced housing or provide direct
purchase assistance to low-income families seeking to buy a home.
The timely expenditure of your previous year funds is critical to mitigate risks of
recapture. If your community’s priorities have changed, you have an opportunity to repurpose
funding. Our team can work with you to ensure that funds are fully utilized and reach the
populations intended by these programs. Please contact our Field Office to learn more.
The Department greatly appreciates your leadership in using these funds to address your
most pressing local needs by increasing access to affordable housing, supporting renters and
homeowners, providing life-saving assistance to people experiencing homelessness, creating jobs
and opportunities for people with modest means, improving public facilities, community
resilience, and public services. If you or any member of your staff have questions or would like
to request technical assistance, please contact your local CPD Field Director.
Sincerely,
Marion Mollegen McFadden
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary

AP-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
The Division, as lead agency of the Oakland County HOME Consortium, consulted with other
government, non-profit and private agencies, including the Alliance for Housing (Alliance),
Oakland County's Continuum of Care (CoC) to develop the PY 2024 Annual Action Plan.
Consultation included presentations to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners (BOC),
Oakland County Citizen Advisory Council (CAC), the Oakland County Food Policy Council, public
hearings, HOME Consortium team meetings, an online survey and direct solicitation/outreach.
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)).
Private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies participate in the CoC.
The Alliance (CoC) board meets bi-monthly, and the full membership meets every other month.
OCNHD staff collaborate with the Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) through the
Alliance (CoC) to serve the needs of low income and disabled residents. OCNHD staff provide
those involved in the CoC with information, education and referral upon request. To increase
awareness of OCNHD, staff participated in various public events sponsored by agencies
including Oakland County Health Division, MSHDA, Head Start, Senior Centers, Oakland County
Veterans Department, FDIC - Smart Money Week. OCNHD staff participates in annual
Community Resource Day events to support those that are precariously housed.
The OCNHD division works with the Homeless Healthcare Collaboration (HHC) whose mission is
to improve the health and well-being of persons experiencing homelessness in Oakland County.
HHC’s mission is to connect community and health care organizations to coordinate resources
for persons experiencing homelessness. HHC works closely with the CoC.
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.
Private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies participate in the CoC,
meeting regularly throughout the year. HOME Consortium members often attend these events,
maintaining constant contact, especially during shared project planning and implementation
phases. In 2023, OCNHD leadership along with the CoC brought together over 50 stakeholders
representing various systems that touch individuals and families impacted by homelessness.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The new initiative is based on work facilitated in 2021 by MPHI and agency partners, to put
together a Blueprint to End Homelessness. The Blueprint to End Homelessness work is a
collaboration of partners focused on action-oriented steps to address the needs of homeless
individuals and families. In 2012, the Oakland County Health Division gathered community
partners serving homeless and vulnerable populations to discuss barriers to obtaining/providing
services and develop plans to address clients’ needs. This group, known as the Homeless
Healthcare Collaboration, prioritized housing and healthcare issues, identifying basic needs like
identification and transportation as significant barriers to accessing essential services such as
healthcare, housing, employment, and education. These concerns persist today, with over 100
representatives from various service providers participating in ongoing meetings.
The Homeless Healthcare Collaboration created two action taskforces: the Hospital Discharge
Taskforce, now paused, and the Identification Taskforce, which continues to work on breaking
barriers related to lack of proper identification. Additionally, the Transportation Taskforce
focuses on enhancing public transportation and seeking alternative solutions. An infographic
highlighting transportation needs was created, after which the taskforce's work was integrated
into broader coordination efforts within the Collaboration. The Homeless Healthcare
Collaborative aims to improve the health and well-being of homeless individuals in Oakland
County by connecting community and healthcare organizations to coordinate resources. In
2014, the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) recognized the
Collaboration as a Model Practice for its exemplary and replicable response to a local public
health need.
The Alliance for Housing, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formerly known as the Oakland
County Taskforce on Homelessness and Affordable Housing, is responsible for coordinating the
CoC and organizing the County’s response to HUD's annual CoC application. The Alliance works
to end homelessness and increase affordable housing opportunities, comprising about 100
organizations including emergency shelters, health service providers, for-profit and nonprofit
affordable housing developers, supportive housing program administrators, municipalities,
governmental agencies, and faith-based service providers. The Alliance holds general
membership meetings with published agendas at least quarterly, while its board of directors
meets at least bi-monthly. The Executive Committee determines the date, time, and place of
these meetings, which are open to the public. An annual meeting of the Board of Directors and
its membership is also held, with all meetings conducted either in-person or virtually.

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
Oakland County consults with the Alliance for Housing, Oakland County's Continuum of Care
lead agency, when determining how to allocate its ESG funds. This is done via survey and
request for input when considering changes. The ESG guidelines and contracts require that
recipients of funding must:
• Be members of the Alliance (although membership is not necessary to apply)
• Participate in the Homeless Management Information System unless barred from under
the Violence Against Women Act
• Participate in the coordinated entry system, and
• Follow the performance measurement and outcomes standards.
All agencies currently receiving ESG funding also receive funding through the Alliance through a
MSHDA grant. Adopting similar strategies and processes assist the agencies in administering the
programs seamlessly for their clients. The Alliance has three standing committees:
Systems Coordination and Implementation - Develops resources to implement community
strategies, provides member agencies with access to technical assistance, best practices,
referrals, and other tools to increase their effectiveness in addressing community needs.
Strategic Planning, Funding, and Advocacy Committee - Inform the community of issues
regarding housing and homelessness, provides platform for advocacy and public awareness of
current political and legislative issues, promotes the Alliance for Housing as a resource for the
effective engagement of public and political entities, Writes and oversees planning and funding
opportunities.
Project Monitoring and Performance Outcomes - Promotes quality funded projects by
evaluating project proposals, making funding recommendations and monitoring progress and
implements/monitors the Homeless Management and Information System (HMIS).
An Application Review Committee made up of representatives not funded through the CoC but
with relevant expertise rank projects for the annual HUD application. The Alliance determines
how to allocate CoC funds by developing performance standards, evaluating outcomes, and
developing funding priorities. The Alliance also provides ongoing needs assessment and
analysis; technical assistance; increased stakeholder participation; development strategies for
addressing identified needs; monitoring of progress toward strategic objectives and action

steps; coordination of various organizational structures related to homelessness and
coordination of the annual CoC NOFA application.
The CoC is a planning process which gives providers an opportunity to design effective
approaches to address the needs of homeless persons. CoC participants consult in the Con Plan
process by identifying gaps and priorities within the housing continuum. Homelessness
prevention is a goal in the CoC’s Plan to End Homelessness. Strategies in place to reach the
CoC’s homelessness prevention goal include creating relationships with landlords so
intervention can occur before eviction, ensuring all CoC agencies have eviction prevention
strategies, creating an online resource guide of financial assistance programs for case managers
and spreading outreach information through faith based and educational institutions.
These efforts and using a centralized intake and housing assessment tool assure that funds are
distributed to those most in need, consistent with the County’s anti-poverty strategy.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting
The OCNHD is required to set forth the County’s policies and procedures for citizen
participation in the process of developing and implementing the Con Plan and all its
components. In accordance with 24 CFR Part 91.105 et seq, Oakland County maintains a Citizen
Participation Plan (CPP). The Plan applies to the CDBG, HOME and ESG programs as well as to
the development and implementation of the Con Plan and AAP. The CPP outlines the
procedures and processes used by the County to solicit citizen input. The County followed the
CPP outreach, noticing, and hearing requirements in development of the Con Plan. Oakland
County encourages residents to participate in the Con Plan and AAP process. In addition, input
is requested on the CAPER, environmental reviews, requests for release of funds and plan
amendments.
Oakland County maximizes citizen participation through its Citizen Advisory Council (CAC). The
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 requires that cooperating cities, townships,
and villages, in addition to citizens at large, provide input on community development needs.
Oakland County’s BOC Resolution #7835 established a CAC with the goal to provide a
mechanism for citizens representing broad socio-economic and geographic areas to voice
concerns on the planning, implementation and assessment of the "Urban County" program. The
CAC consists of twenty members appointed by the BOC who are representatives of
participating communities, County Commissioners and the general public. The members
selected represent Oakland County’s LI population. The CAC serves in an advisory capacity to
Division staff and the BOC to develop and assess federal grant program policies and operations.
Despite selection from various geographic regions, all members represent the County.
Oakland County encourages participation in the formulation of priorities, strategies and funding
allocations related to the Con Plan. To broaden citizen participation, the County’s PY 2024
Annual Action Plan process included:
• Advertised citizen participation opportunities in print media, website, online social
media, and via email through listservs and individual emails
• Made Community Needs Survey available from 01/09/2024 to 6/7/2024 online or in
print and available in several languages
• Emailed Community Needs Survey link and language to CAC members

Table 2 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
CDBG - No Match Requirement
• In-kind County level administrative functions: human resources, marketing, fiscal services, purchasing, auditing, corporation
counsel, record retention and mail room support services
• Infrastructure and public facility projects supported with funds from participating communities
Annual Action Plan
2024
23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) generated from paybacks on CDBG funded housing rehabilitation loans supplement the HIP. During PY
2024 Consolidated Plan OAKLAND COUNTY 221 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2022) the County will recycle
approximately $1,000,000 in CDBG RLF into the HIP for the rehabilitation of approximately 40 single-family homes of LI residents.
• Emergency, youth, senior and other public services designed to meet special needs of LI residents are expanded through leverage
from various public service agencies.
HOME - 25% Match Requirement
• Oakland County ensures that all housing projects receive $1 of non-federal match for every $4 of HOME funds expended, in
accordance with federal guideline (s.92.218).
• The HOME program requires a 25% match on all non-administrative activities. In PY 2024, $516,149 in general funds will serve as
match for County level housing rehabilitation, rental development/preservation and homebuyer assistance activities.
• CHDO’s leverage HOME funds with state and private resources to develop affordable housing
• OCNHD leveraged $1,000,000 in HOME funding through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) that resulted in the development
of an approximately $21,500,000 rental housing development. The 53-unit affordable housing community in under construction and
will be completed in 2025.
• Program Income generated from paybacks on HOME funded housing rehabilitation loans supplement the HIP. During PY 2024, the
Division estimates approximately $1,700,000 in PI will enable the rehabilitation of approximately 60 single-family homes of LI
residents and expand affordable housing development.
ESG - 100% Match Requirement
• Oakland County passes on the match requirements to its vendors
• Cash contributions for allowable costs including staff salaries/fringe benefits
Annual Action Plan
2024
24
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Noncash contributions
• Volunteer services are matched at the current minimum wage salary unless the recipient can verify a higher rate of pay for current
employees performing similar work
• Real property, equipment, goods or services that if the recipient had to pay for them with grant funds, the payments would have
been indirect costs
• The value of donated goods and services such as clothing, food, diapers, haircuts, etc. The value placed should be consistent with
Office of Management and Budget Circulars.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
Oakland County created a land bank to manage vacant, tax foreclosed property and cause its
redevelopment as affordable housing by public or private entities.
Discussion
A variety of non-federal resources will supplement the CDBG, HOME and ESG funds. Non-
federal resources available fall into three general categories - funds required to match the
HOME and ESG programs as required by regulation, non-federal funds used by local
communities to supplement CDBG allocations for larger scale projects, and the Oakland County
Housing Trust Fund (OCHTF). Oakland County uses PI generated from paybacks on CDBG and
HOME funded housing rehabilitation loans to expand the HIP and rental gap
development/preservation program. The OCHTF provides gap funding for rental and for-sale
mixed income housing throughout the County. In general, the land for OCHTF developments is
identified and provided by its development partners. Groups and individuals are encouraged to
establish non-profits complying with HUD requirements to permit them to receive funds under
the HOME program, as well as funds under Section 811, Supportive Housing for Persons with
Disabilities.

AP-35 Projects - 91.420, 91.220(d)
Introduction
How the CDBG Formula Works: After setting aside funds for special purposes such as technical
assistance, projects specified by Congress and the Indian CDBG program, the annual
appropriation for
CDBG formula funding is split so that 70% is allocated among eligible metropolitan cities and
counties (referred to as entitlement communities) and 30% among the states to serve non-
entitled communities.
HUD uses two basic formulas, known as Formula A and Formula B, to allocate CDBG funds to
entitlement communities. A similar dual formula system allocates funds to states.
For entitlements, Formula A allocates funds a community based on its metropolitan shares of:
(1) population weighted at 25%; (2) poverty weighted at 50%; and (3) overcrowding, weighted
at 25%, times appropriations.
Formula B allocates funds to a community based CDBG formula targeting to community
development need on: (1) its share of growth lag, weighted at 20%; and its metropolitan shares
of (2) poverty, weighted at 30% and (3) pre-1940 housing weighted at 50%, times
appropriation.
HUD calculates the amount for each entitlement jurisdiction under each formula. Jurisdictions
are then assigned the larger of the two grants. That is, if a jurisdiction gets more funds under
Formula A than Formula B, the grant amount is based on Formula A. With this dual system, the
total amount assigned to CDBG grantees has always exceeded the total amount available
through appropriation. To bring the total grant amount allocated to entitlement communities
within the appropriated amount, HUD uses a pro rata reduction (calculated as a percentage).

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Quantitative research (housing market and demographic analysis) and qualitative research
(surveys, public meetings, focus groups, and resident input) impacted the priority needs and
strategies for the Oakland County PY 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan.
Oakland County prioritized benefit to low-income persons and areas using a formula allocation
method. Activities selected meet national program objectives and Consolidated Plan goals.
Oakland County does not allocate investments geographically and does not plan to identify any
specific Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas (NRSA).
The obstacle to addressing underserved needs is the lack of adequate financial resources.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution - 91.420, 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Oakland County Neighborhood & Housing Development administers HUD CPD grant programs
through the authorization of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners. Current programs
consist of CDBG, HOME and ESG. Oakland County targets these program funds towards low-
income areas, individuals, and households as prioritized by HUD, based on Oakland County
demographics and U.S. Census Bureau estimates. In addition to these programs, the Division
continues to administer Neighborhood Stabilization Programs (NSP).
The County contains 61 units of general local government, including twenty-one townships, ten
villages and thirty cities. The following fifty-two (85%) of Oakland County communities
participate in the County's "Urban County" CDBG housing and community development
programs: Cities - Auburn Hills, Berkley, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Clarkston, Clawson,
Farmington, Ferndale, Hazel Park, Huntington Woods, Keego Harbor, Lathrup Village, Madison
Heights, Northville, Novi, Oak Park, Orchard Lake Village, Pleasant Ridge, Rochester, Rochester
Hills, South Lyon, Sylvan Lake, Troy, Walled Lake, Wixom Townships - Addison, Bloomfield,
Brandon, Commerce, Groveland, Highland, Holly, Independence, Lyon, Milford, Oakland, Orion,
Oxford, Rose, Royal Oak, Springfield, West Bloomfield, White Lake Villages - Beverly Hills,
Franklin, Holly, Lake Orion, Leonard, Milford, Ortonville, Oxford and Wolverine Lake.
Farmington Hills, Royal Oak, Pontiac, Southfield and Waterford Township are HUD entitlement
communities. These communities with over 50,000 residents are "entitled" to receive HUD
funds and have chosen to administer their own CDBG programs. The City of Lake Angelus, Novi
Township, Southfield Township and the Village of Bingham Farms do not receive HUD funds.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Oakland County CDBG - CDBG funds are distributed based on an allocation method approved
by the BOC. The method deducts administrative costs up to 20% from the grant and apportions
1/3 of the grant balance to the Home Improvement Program (HIP) and 2/3 of the balance to 53
Annual Action Plan
2024
46
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
participating communities (PC's). The allocation of funds to PC's follows the federal CDBG
"option one" method from the Housing and Community Development Act, as amended [42 USC
5306(b) (2)]. The County formula is: (P+3L)/4 P= ratio of a PC's population to population in all
PC's L= ratio of community's low-income (LI) population to that of all PC's. The LI ratio is
factored 3 times and then multiplied by the total amount of funds available each year. All PC’s
falling below $7,000 receive $7,000 as a minimum award.
Oakland County HOME - Oakland County invests HOME and CDBG funds in the HIP which
operates throughout 56 communities on a 1st-come 1st-serve basis targeting applicants who
qualify as LI homeowners of single-family (SF) owner-occupied units in PC's. CDBG funds are
also used to operate the HIP for owner occupants of attached SF rental (2-4 units) in Urban
County PC's. Qualified Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) may also
receive HOME to construct or rehabilitate affordable SF (1- 4 units) and multifamily rental
housing in 56 communities. This investment targets renters at or below 60% of area median
income. CHDOs will be able to increase the supply of rental units by Acquisition/Rehabilitation
or New Construction. A portion of HOME program income (PI) will be designated to CHDOs to
fund homeownership opportunities for persons prioritized as LI, 1st time homebuyers in
Consortium communities. Homebuyer assistance is provided to make homeownership
affordable. HOME funds will also be reserved to provide gap financing for developers to
build/rehabilitate affordable rental housing.
Oakland County ESG – Emergency Shelter: distributed among eligible shelter providers that
complete the application process. The allocation to each agency would be based on the
individual agency’s total number of persons served each day/night for the period of 7/1 - 6/30
of the previous year as a % of total served. The Shelter Operations portion of the grant shall be
no more than 60% of the grant and never more than the 2010 level. Homeless Management
Information System (HMIS) - The HMIS lead agency will receive up to 7.5% to ensure that
shelter personnel are trained, and that reported data is complete and correct. Administration -
The County retains 7.5% for administration, planning, implementation, reimbursement and
reporting. Housing Relocation and Stabilization Services/Rental Assistance - The balance of the
grant will be allocated for Homeless Prevention and/or Rapid Re-Housing programs. A
maximum of 2 agencies will be funded through an RFP based on a point criteria:
(Capacity/Experience 40), Outreach Plan (25) HMIS (15), prior experience with use of
Mainstream Resources/Leveraging (15) and CoC participation (5).
Discussion
Federal CDBG Formula - After setting aside funds for technical assistance, projects specified by
Congress and the Indian CDBG program, the annual appropriation for CDBG is split, 70%
Annual Action Plan
2024
47
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
allocated among eligible metropolitan cities and counties (referred to as entitlement
communities) and 30% among states to serve non-entitled areas. HUD uses 2 formulas, A and B,
to allocate CDBG to entitlements. A similar dual formula allocates funds to states. For
entitlements, Formula A allocates funds to a community based on its metropolitan share of: (1)
population weighted 25%; (2) poverty weighted 50%; and (3) overcrowding, weighted 25%,
times appropriations. Formula B allocates funds based on the metropolitan share of: (1) growth
lag, weighted 20%; (2) poverty, weighted 30% and (3) pre-1940 housing weighted 50%, times
appropriation. HUD calculates the amount for each entitlement under each formula.
Jurisdictions are then assigned the larger of the two. That is, if a jurisdiction gets more funds
under A than B, the grant amount is based on A.
2011-2015 Low/Moderate Income Summary Data (LMISD) - HUD announced that new LMISD
will go into effect on 4/1/19. These data are used to qualify all new area-benefit activities as of
4/1/19. HUD released Community Planning and Development Notice 19-02 which provides
guidance on geographic datasets used for compliance purposes with CDBG grant requirements.
The Notice:
• Announces the publication of the LMISD based on the American Community Survey (ACS)
2011- 2015 5-year estimates (2015 ACS). These data will replace the prior LMISD based on the
ACS 2006-2010 5-year estimates (2010 ACS) for the purposes of demonstrating compliance with
the CDBG National Objective of providing benefit to low- and moderate-income persons on an
area basis (“Area Benefit” or LMA) and other purposes discussed this Notice;
• Announces an effective date of 4/1/19 for use of the 2015 ACS LMISD to qualify LMA
activities; and, provides a transition policy for circumstances when prior 2010 ACS LMISD may
continue to be used;
• Explains the geographic format of these data and how to use the LMISD to demonstrate
compliance for LMA activities;
• Announces the publication of margin of error (MOE) data for all geographies in the LMISD,
including all census places and block groups, and provides instructions for use. Additionally, this
Notice describes guidance regarding the confidence interval and acceptable MOE for local
income surveys, based on the LMISD MOE;
• Announces that HUD will set a 5-year publication schedule for other geographic data used for
reporting race/ethnicity, disability, and age of beneficiaries, as well as poverty data used to
qualify certain activities for assistance; and,
• Provides instruction for reporting LMA activities in the grantee reporting systems for the
various programs.

Introduction
Oakland County does not administer public housing. Public Housing Commissions in Ferndale,
Pontiac, and Royal Oak Township have public housing units.
Ferndale, Pontiac and Southfield Housing Commissions offer Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV). In
addition, as of September 2019 the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA)
has allocated just under 1,615 HCV for Oakland County.
Plymouth Housing Commission and Detroit Housing Commission and other commissions in the
region, while not located in Oakland County, offer a significant number of HCVs. Many HCV
holders choose to reside in Oakland County.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
The Ferndale, Pontiac, and Royal Oak Township Public Housing Commissions (PHCs) are not
under Oakland County control. As part of the Consolidated Plan development process the
County invited the PHCs to participate in the formulation of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice. One PHC participated.
The County has regular meetings with the Pontiac Housing Commission on the needs for public
housing and partnership opportunities to bring housing to families.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
Oakland County housing counselors will meet with public housing residents and/or housing
choice voucher holders to explore the potential for future homeownership including converting
a rental voucher to a homeownership voucher. The housing counseling unit provides referrals
to each local PHC. The status of each PHC waiting list is provided to the Neighborhood &
Housing Development Division through its Alliance membership.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be

Introduction
The NHD has administered the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program since 1987 and is a
member of the Alliance for Housing of Oakland County, the Continuum of Care. The Alliance is a
501(c) (3),
nonprofit organization working toward a common goal to end homelessness and increase
affordable housing opportunities. The Alliance is made up of many organizations from the
private and public sector including emergency shelters, warming centers, providers of health
services including mental health and developmental disability services, affordable housing
developers, supportive housing programs, municipalities, government agencies, faith-based
service providers and more. The Alliance competes nationally for funding including annual
applications for HUD Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Grants.
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
Continuum of Care's efforts to reduce the number of individuals and families who become
homeless are driven by its Plan to End Homelessness. This plan was written in 2006 and has
been updated several times. The Alliance for Housing (CoC) has developed a strategic Plan in
addition to the original plan. Most of the original goals have been made. Oakland County
established a “Blueprint to End Homelessness” during 2021 to seek new goals, ensure equity in
programming, increase alternative funding sources and to become a unified funding agency
under the HEARTH Act. Under the current plan Goal 3 states: Increase and strengthen the
amount of prevention, both emergency and system-wide and Rapid Re-Housing Services.
Strategies under this goal to reduce homelessness include addressing impediments to fair
housing choice as identified in the Oakland County Con Plan Jurisdictions’ Analyses of
Impediments. All strategies to achieve this goal are coordinated with ESG recipients. Oakland
County Con Plan jurisdictions address homelessness prevention by contributing to the
achievement of the goals through emergency service dollars.
The Continuum of Care’s efforts focus on relationship building and outreach. Physical outreach
is targeted to emergency shelters, warming centers and the streets. Brochures and flyers are
distributed at shelters, human services agencies, schools, WIC providers, libraries and other
areas frequented by at risk families. Outreach includes press releases, the Continuum of Care
website and newsletters. Homeless Student Liaisons provide a means for reaching families
Annual Action Plan
2024
54
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
through the schools. Program staff works to build trust; many unsheltered families fear their
children will be taken from them if discovered. Contact focuses on introducing services to
engage, rather than frighten or alienate and works to quickly identify housing. When the family
accepts the system of care, they are likely to stay engaged, improving the chance of long-term
success.
The Continuum of Care has specific outreach procedures in place to identify and engage
homeless individuals and families. Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness
(PATH) teams canvass community shelters and the streets to engage homeless in obtaining
services. Unsheltered homeless are the most difficult to engage and least likely to seek
assistance. By meeting homeless individuals and families where they are, team members gain
trust and make connections to resources and services. The Continuum of Care also hosts annual
Community Resource Day events to introduce and immediate access to resources. Housing and
services providers serve persons with disabilities and ensure accessibility through a variety of
accommodations.
Additionally, Continuum of Care providers who operate outreach services all have Language
Access Plans (LAP) in place to aid with persons with limited English proficiency or other
language barriers that may prevent access to services. Interpretation services are provided by
organizations such as ACCESS for Arabic translations and deaf interpreters accessed through the
State of Michigan Division on Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing. Oakland County has a
contract with Telelanguage which provides more than 150 language services including
American Sign Language for any county administered program.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Recipient agencies conduct an initial evaluation to determine each individual or family’s
eligibility for ESG assistance and the amount and types of assistance the household needs to
regain stability in permanent housing. The evaluations are conducted in accordance with the
centralized assessment requirements of the Oakland County Continuum of Care. After initial
evaluation, a housing plan is developed, and a participant must meet with his or her
caseworker as prescribed under the plan. Unless prohibited under the Violence Against Women
Act, as amended or the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, the recipient will be
connected to appropriate supportive services including assistance in obtaining permanent
housing, mental health treatment, counseling and other services essential for achieving
independent living. They will also be linked to federal, state, local and private assistance
available to assist with obtaining housing stability including Medicaid, food assistance, WIC,
unemployment benefits, SSI, SSDI, Veteran’s benefits, medical assistance, legal aid,
employment assistance and other locally available assistance programs. A plan will be

2024
55
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
developed to assist the program participant to retain permanent housing after the assistance
ends, considering all relevant considerations such as the program participants current or
expected income and expenses, other public or private assistance for which the program
participant will be eligible and likely to receive, and the affordability of available housing in the
area. Each participant will be linked to available PSH programs or the local Housing Choice
Voucher (HCV) Programs, PHA and project based rental assistance when the waiting lists are
open.
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
Oakland County ESG funds are used in part to fund a Homeless Prevention and/or Rapid Re-
Housing (HPRRH) program. South Oakland Shelter (SOS)/Lighthouse of Oakland County and
Community Housing Network administer HPRRH contracts and provided a combination of
rental assistance, rental fees, utility assistance and case management to homeless and at risk of
homeless households. SOS offers a twelve month follow up program of in-home case
management that assisted 90% of HPRRH clients to maintain housing after one year. With ESG-
CV funds, the waivers were used to extend the amount of time a recipient can receive
assistance to prevent further homelessness during the pandemic.
In the Continuum of Care geographic area, the average length of time families are homeless
before entering a program is 1-3 months. The average length of time individuals are homeless
before entering shelter is 1 week or less and 1-3 months for individuals entering transitional
housing or permanent housing programs. As part of the intake assessment in HMIS, the length
of homeless episodes is a universal data element and is routinely completed.
This data is collected and shared with the Systems Implementation and Coordination
Committee, who is charged with developing plans to increase the effectiveness of funded and
non-funded programs serving homeless populations. HMIS is analyzed to create plans to
specifically reduce the length of time individuals and families remain homeless. Data from both
Continuum of Care and ESG funded projects as well as non-HUD funded projects is considered
with equal weight in the planning process. Planning includes strengthening existing program
capacity and efficient connections to community programs including Housing Choice Voucher
waitlists, mainstream services and other available programs.

housing using HMIS. HMIS is used to generate and share quarterly reports which include data
on episodes of homelessness experienced by participants who have exited rapid re-housing,
transitional housing, and/or PSH. These reports are provided to the Board and the Project
Monitoring and Performance Outcomes committee.
Reports help to inform the overall technical assistance offered and ongoing strategic planning
measurement and adjustments. Program specific technical assistance includes an examination
of exit procedures as well as follow-up care procedures and accessibility.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The following information is excerpted from the Neighborhood & Housing Development ESG
Homeless Certification.
Persons living on the street - Supportive services include outreach, food, health care and
clothing to persons who reside on the streets. In most cases, it is not feasible to require the
homeless persons to document that they reside on the street. It is enough for the agency’s staff
to certify that the persons served, indeed, reside on the street. The outreach or service worker
should sign and date a general certification verifying that services are going to homeless
persons and indicating where the persons reside. Persons coming from living on the street - The
agency should obtain information to indicate that a participant is coming from the street. This
may include names of other organizations or outreach workers who have assisted them in the
recent past who might provide documentation. If you are unable to verify that the person is
coming from residing on the street, have the participant prepare or you prepare a written
statement about the participant’s previous living place and have the participant sign the
statement and date it. Merely obtaining a self-certification is not adequate. If the participant
was referred by an outreach worker or social service agency, you must obtain written
verification from the referring organization regarding where the person has been residing. This
verification should be on agency letterhead, signed and dated.
Persons coming from an emergency shelter for homeless persons - The agency should have
written verification from shelter staff that the participant has been residing at the emergency
shelter for homeless persons. The verification should be on agency letterhead, signed, and
Annual Action Plan
2024
57
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
dated.
Persons coming from transitional housing for homeless persons - The agency should have
written verification from the transitional housing facility staff that the participant has been
residing in the transitional housing. The verification should be on agency letterhead, signed and
dated. The agency should also have written verification that the participant was living on the
streets or in an emergency shelter prior to living in the transitional housing facility (see above
for required documentation) or was discharged from an institution or evicted prior to living in
the transitional housing facility and would have been homeless if not for the transitional
housing (see below for required documentation).
Discussion
Persons from a short-term stay (up to 30 consecutive days) in an institution- The agency
should have written verification from the institution’s staff that the participant has been
residing in the institution for 30 days or less. The verification should be signed and dated. The
agency also should have written verification that the participant was residing on the street or in
an emergency shelter prior to the short term stay in the institution. See above for guidance.
Persons being evicted from a private dwelling - The agency must have evidence of the formal
eviction proceedings indicating that the participant was being evicted within the week before
receiving rental assistance. If the person’s family is evicting him/her, a statement describing the
reason for eviction should be signed by the family member and dated. In other cases where
there is no formal eviction process, persons are considered evicted when they are forced out of
the dwelling unit by circumstances beyond their control. In those instances, the agency must
obtain a signed and dated statement from the participant describing the situation. The agency
must make efforts to confirm that these circumstances are true and have written verification
describing the efforts and attesting to their validity. The verification should be signed and
dated. The agency must also have information on the income of the participant and what
efforts were made to obtain housing and why, without the rental assistance, the participant
would be living on the street or in an emergency shelter.
Persons being discharged from an institution - The agency must have evidence from the
institution’s staff that the participant was being discharged within the week before receiving
rental assistance. The agency must also have information on the income of the participant and
what efforts were made to obtain housing and why, without the rental assistance, the
participant would be living on the street or in an emergency shelter. Staff workers will reach
out to those who are incarcerated in the Oakland County Jail and have identify as homeless to
ensure an adequate discharge plan.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j)
Introduction
Oakland County will continue to work to foster equitable and inclusive communities by
committing to creating and preserving affordable housing and eliminate barriers to affordable
housing and residential investment. This includes the continued administration of its various
housing programs, the identification of non-federal funding sources and partnerships, and the
ongoing community education of housing issues.
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
Michigan is a home rule state. Oakland County has no authority over public policies including
land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and
charges, growth limitations and policies affecting the return on residential investment. During
PY 2020, Oakland County completed a new Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI)
effective July 1, 2021. The AI identifies barriers to affordable housing to be addressed in a Fair
Housing Plan which informed the County’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan (PY 2021 - PY 2025).
Discussion
Although Oakland County, cannot directly affect any of those barriers it continues to look for
ways to collaborate, educate and convene local municipalities on understanding the effects of
policies on the creation of affordable housing and the ability of individuals to continue to
benefit from residential investment. Oakland County also commits to keeping HUD certified
counselors on staff to educate residents on their rights and choices. Oakland County also
commits to working with local social service agencies, the citizen advisory committee, board of
commissioners and other advocacy organizations to look for new ways to address public
policies that either directly or adversely create barriers to creating, obtaining or accessing
affordable housing.

• CDBG/HOME funded Home Improvement Program
• CDBG funded Minor Home Repair
• CDBG funded Mobile Home Repair
• HOME, CDBG, Housing Trust Fund rental rehabilitation programs
• Referrals for weatherization assistance
• No-cost housing counseling
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
Oakland County funds programs to maintain affordable housing. CDBG and HOME funds
support the Home Improvement Program (HIP) offering 0% interest loans for repairs, ensuring
low-income homeowners can stay in their homes.
In 2019, a $500,000 HOME loan helped renovate affordable rental units in Pontiac. The Oakland
County Housing Trust Fund (OCHTF) also uses HOME funds to create affordable rental
opportunities.
Community Development Housing Organizations (CHDOs) can participate in OCHTF rental
programs, building or rehabbing affordable rental units for low-income residents. The
homebuyer program helps low-income families purchase homes with subsidies.
Emergency Solutions Grant funds provide temporary rental assistance and case management to
extremely low-income residents at risk of homelessness.
Housing counselors funded by HUD, MSHDA, and CDBG offer advice to renters and
homeowners seeking affordable housing. Staff also advocate for affordable housing initiatives.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Division continues to address risks of Lead Based Paint (LBP) through implementation of
the LeadSafe Housing Regulation and the State of Michigan Lead Abatement Act. The Home
Annual Action Plan
2024
62
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Improvement Program includes a risk assessment on rehabilitation work which disturbs painted
surfaces pursuant to 24 CFR Part 35. Division staff are certified LBP Inspectors/Risk assessors
with the State of Michigan. LBP hazards are addressed using lead abatement work practices.
LBP clearances are performed on HIP projects. Contractors performing the work are licensed
LBP abatement contractors with the State. LBP abatement has been an integral component of
the HIP since 2000. The Division will continue to abate LBP hazards in single-family owner-
occupied dwellings which qualify with program guidelines in participating communities. The
Division also hosts LBP training for qualified contractors on the HIP approved bidder list. The
County purchased new XRF machines to perform lead inspections/risk assessments more
efficiently.
Housing units funded with federal funds must meet LBP regulations. The County operates a
housing rehabilitation program for single-family dwellings (1-4 units). The program has specific
procedures which outline the steps to educate, test, contain and/or remediate LBP.
Rehabilitation projects in which the structure was constructed before 1978 fall under the
Federal LBP regulations. A lead hazard information pamphlet is provided to all prospective HIP
participants. If the structure was built before 1978 a LBP risk assessment is conducted. A LBP
risk assessment is provided to the homeowner along with the specification. The findings are
incorporated into the specifications for the rehabilitation work.
Contractors participating in the HIP doing work involving LBP must present documentation
certifying them as an LBP certified contractor. An occupancy plan is developed to ensure
occupants will not be exposed during site work. Results of clearance tests are provided to the
homeowner. These actions educate the public of the danger of LBP and provide an LBP free
living environment for occupants upon completion of site work.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The County's Anti-Poverty Strategy is to help low-income persons stay in their homes, support
low-income persons in crisis and job creation. The HOME program provides funds for non-
profits, local governments, and developers to create affordable rental and homeownership
opportunities. CDBG assists those in poverty with crisis, emergency, housing, housing
counseling services and job creation.
Crisis Services - Many communities have taken the lead in providing emergency food and
clothing for families in crisis. Local communities also fund minor home repair programs and
home chore programs for persons unable to perform tasks such as cleaning and shopping due
to age and/or physical disability or provide transportation services for senior and disabled
residents. The County will continue to encourage local communities to use CDBG funds for anti-

poverty projects and coordinate the availability of other resources and programs.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional structure, through which this AAP will be implemented, includes agencies of
County government, local communities, non-profit organizations, and private industry. Division
staff conduct CDBG, HOME and ESG workshops to keep partners current on new developments
and policies. These workshops provide subrecipients, CHDOS and developers with opportunities
to ask questions, share ideas and provide feedback. Additional technical consultations between
Division staff and local agencies regularly occur as necessary to provide technical assistance.
Pre-bid and pre-construction meetings are held prior to CDBG and HOME assisted projects
providing education and technical assistance to ensure that affirmative marketing,
procurement, Section 3, U.S. Department of Labor and Davis-Bacon Act requirements are met.
The Division will continue efforts to update marketing materials to educate and provide
awareness. Technical assistance provided by the Division focuses on defining program eligibility
requirements; establishing and undertaking correct program processes; measuring
performance; furthering collaboration between partners and building partner capacity.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
During 2024, Division staff will continue to provide information to local units of government
and assist them in identifying and coordinating funding opportunities, with a focus on
increasing actions aimed at expanding community development improvements and services to
LMI persons and limited clientele populations. The Division will continue to coordinate the
provision of CPD Grant resources in efforts to further affordable housing development and
homebuyer assistance, as well as continuing financial assistance to individuals and families who
are either homeless or in immediate risk of losing their housing. Oakland County will continue
to work with local financial lending institutions, MSHDA, non-profits, developers, and other
organizations in partnership efforts to further affordable housing funds and initiatives. Division
staff will provide information from HUD and MSHDA to public agencies, individuals and/or non-
and for-profit developers who may be interested in utilizing their entity's programs for
producing affordable housing projects. Staff will continue to review and approve appropriate
requests for Certificates of Consistency with the Con Plan to ensure that proposed programs
meet goals and objectives.
Division staff will continue to work with various agency staff to provide referrals to programs. In
addition, staff will continue to provide technical assistance and information about fair housing
and the advancement of housing related projects for populations in need of affordable and
barrier-free housing to local governments, non-profits, CHDOs and for-profit developers. The

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Division coordinates with service providers by facilitating and participating in community- wide
committees and engaging local experts to recommend and provide programs for target
populations. Primarily, this is done through the collaborative relationship with Alliance for
Housing. Division staff participate in and provide support to work groups of the Continuum of
Care. Staff assist the Continuum of Care with its responsibilities for monitoring, evaluating and
applying for funds through the HUD Continuum of Care and ESG funding processes.
NHD will continue to support partners and develop new affiliations to assist serving low-income
populations. Initiatives will focus on disseminating educational information through workshops,
partner meetings and traditional and innovative media advertising to better inform the public
about programs. Technical assistance will focus on improvements to application processes,
refining methods of determining eligibility; ensuring correct processes are performed;
monitoring; measuring performance; coordinating and enhancing collaboration between
multiple partners, as well as assisting partners to build their capacity.
Discussion
The Division will continue to provide gap financing for rental and for-sale affordable housing
through the OCHTF as well as have a finer focus on the health and safety home improvements
for owner occupied rehabilitation.

not be invested in a loan guarantee as an eligible activity as indicated in 24 CFR 92.205(b).
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds
when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
The Oakland County Neighborhood & Housing Development Division has comprehensive
program guidelines which provide for the recapture of HOME funds in compliance with
program requirements 24 CFR 92.254(a). Under the recapture provision, the HOME
investment subject to recapture is the HOME assistance that enables the homebuyer to
afford the dwelling unit. This homebuyer assistance is a subsidy ($1,000.00 minimum) that
makes the home affordable to a low-income homebuyer. The County’s home buyer
assistance is a deferred payment loan with 0% interest. The Division secures its interest in
the property with a mortgage and note. One hundred percent of the HOME investment is
recaptured upon conversion of property use and/or ownership unless, due to foreclosure,
there are not enough proceeds to pay the full amount of the loan. The County will accept
the balance of the net proceeds as payment in full, the debt will be extinguished and the
affordability period ends. Recaptured funds must be used to carry out HOME eligible
activities.

3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of
units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
The HOME Program stipulates an affordability period on projects assisted with HOME funds
to ensure that HOME investments yield affordable housing over the long term. Section 215
of the National Affordable Housing Act outlines the term “affordable housing”. To qualify as
affordable, all rental and homeownership units constructed or rehabilitated with HOME
funds must adhere to the regulation. It is the responsibility of each HOME participating
jurisdiction to report to HUD the number of affordable units completed on an annual basis.
Although the CDBG program does not require the qualification of units as “affordable”
following the HOME Section 215 regulations, it is useful to keep track of affordable units
rehabilitated with CDBG funds. Oakland County meets Section 215 requirements as:
• HOME assisted units are available for households at 80% of area median income (AMI) or
below
• Initial purchase price of units does not exceed HUD Homeownership Value Limits
• The units serve as the owner’s principal residence
• All newly constructed housing meets energy efficiency standards
• Recapture provisions allow the County to provide assistance as a deferred loan secured by
mortgage and note (0% interest)
• The loan becomes due and payable when the homeowner vacates, sells, transfers, or
assigns any legal or equitable interest in the property except where prohibited by law. Upon
the deaths of the loan recipients, it is the responsibility of the estate or heirs to repay the
loan when the estate is settled.
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that
is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines
required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
The Oakland County HOME Consortium does not intend to refinance existing debt secured

Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment)
For the Homeless Assistance and Rapid Re-housing portion of the grant, recipient agencies
will conduct an initial evaluation to determine each individual or family’s eligibility for ESG
assistance and the amount and types of assistance the household needs to regain stability
in permanent housing. The evaluations will be conducted in accordance with the centralized
assessment requirements of the Oakland County Continuum of Care. Eligibility
requirements for the Rapid ReHousing and/or prevention components of the program
include:
• The program participant must meet the criteria under the Federal homeless definition as
amended under the HEARTH act. A homeless certification form is required.
• The household income must be less than 30% of AMI. Annual income will be calculated
using the standards for calculating income under HOME and Section 8 income guidelines.
• The household cannot have assets more than $1,000 for an individual or $2,000 for a
family
• The program participant lacks enough resources and support networks necessary to retain
housing without ESG Assistance, but for this assistance they would be homeless.
After initial evaluation, a housing plan will be developed, and a participant must meet with
his or her caseworker as prescribed under the plan. Unless prohibited under the Violence
Against Women Act, as amended or the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, the
recipient will be connected to appropriate supportive services including assistance in
obtaining permanent housing, mental health treatment, counseling and other services
essential for achieving independent living. They will also be linked to federal, state, local
and private assistance available to assist with obtaining housing stability including Medicaid,
food assistance, WIC, unemployment benefits, SSI, SSDI, Veteran’s benefits, medical
assistance, legal aid, employment assistance and other locally available assistance
programs. A plan will be developed to assist the program participant to retain permanent
housing after the assistance ends, considering all relevant considerations such as the
program participants current or expected income and expenses, other public or private
assistance for which the program participant will be eligible and likely to receive and the
affordability of available housing in the area. Each participant will be linked to available PSH
programs or the local HCV, Section 8 Voucher Programs, Public Housing Authorities and

project based rental assistance when the waiting lists are open.
2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system
that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment
system.
Oakland County agencies practice a no wrong door approach. Coordination among
emergency shelter providers, essential services providers, homelessness prevention and
rapid re-housing assistance providers, other homeless assistance providers and mainstream
services and housing providers will be done through HMIS sharing, the centralized
assessment form, the local Homeless Assistance and Recovery Agency (HARA) and the
Community Inter-Agency Service Team (CIST). All ESG recipients will be required to be an
active member of the Continuum of Care and attend bimonthly CIST meetings. At these
meetings, case managers can share information and resources and assist each other with
resources for clients. MSHDA and Michigan DHHS with the full support from the Michigan
Coalition Against Homelessness requires the use of a single assessment tool for people
experiencing homelessness. This tool, known as the Vulnerability Index - Service
Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) will provide HARAs and other housing
agencies with a standardized, evidence-informed assessment process that prioritizes
vulnerability. Michigan’s Campaign to End Homelessness is committed to Housing First and
has identified VI-SPDAT as the tool that will be implemented in every community so that our
state moves forward in ending homelessness while supporting HEARTH Act regulations.
Youth programs are exempt and use their own similar statewide assessment tool. Oakland
County providers meet once a month and have calls weekly to discuss VI-SPDAT scores and
prioritize program openings based on need.
VI-SPDAT training is provided and offered free of charge. The training is mandatory for
HARA midlevel management, HARA front line staff, DHHS Continuum of Care mid-level
management and DHHS Continuum of Care Program front line staff. The DHHS Continuum
of Care Program includes the following projects: Rapid Re-Housing Initiative, Transitional
Supportive Housing Leasing Assistance Program, Rural Housing & Supportive Services and
the Rural Homeless PSH Initiative. HARA and DHHS Continuum of Care Program and
Executive Directors are strongly encouraged to attend the training. HMIS entry is not
granted to agency employees until VI-SPDAT training has been completed.
3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available
to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations).
Generally, each June the Division hosts an ESG application workshop. The workshop is
advertised in the Oakland Press, on the Oakland County website and on the Alliance for
Annual Action Plan
2024
71
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Housing list serve. The workshop provides details on the application requirements for the
emergency shelter, HMIS and homeless prevention and rapid re-housing activities.
Applicants are required to submit supporting documents including non-profit status, HMIS
certification, non-debarment status, financial statements, insurance, policies and
procedures and budgets. All emergency shelters that meet the application requirements
receive funding based on formula. The lead agency of the CoC receives the HMIS funds.
HPRP is scored based upon specific criteria and the awards are determined by committee.
One-year contracts are awarded once funds are released.
4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR
576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with
homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions
regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.
The Division has a member of Citizen Advisory Council who was previously homeless and
was “couch surfing” with her child for a period of time. Though this does not meet the
official definition of homeless, Oakland County is committed to having representation of
formerly homeless individuals on its advisory board. However, through consultation with
the Continuum of Care and citizen participation process, the County obtains input from
homeless or formerly homeless persons. In addition, as previously required in the ESG and
Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program, the Division is passing this
requirement on to funded agencies via contract language. This requirement will be checked
at monitoring. The Continuum of Care has a formerly homeless person on their board. The
Continuum of Care provides input to the Division on the ESG program.
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.
ESG Monitoring Standards and Procedures - Oakland County will continue to implement a
monitoring policy to ensure that ESG recipients follow applicable requirements. Annual
onsite monitoring of shelters and transitional housing providers will include inspections to
ensure that housing conforms to habitability standards under the HEARTH Act as well as LBP
regulations. In addition to project performance, accountability, financial responsibility and
adherence to federal grant management regulations. Monitor reviews will sample client
files to ensure that case management, action plans and referrals to mainstream benefits are
provided and the files are maintained appropriately.
Reimbursement requests will be reviewed, and cross referenced with contracts and
procurement documents as warranted. Rapid re-housing and homeless prevention files will
be checked to ensure that all required documents including homeless certification forms,
income calculations, lease, recertification documents and habitability inspection reports are
Annual Action Plan
2024
72
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
accurate. In addition, before reimbursement can be made verification will be required
including certification of homelessness, lease documents, income calculations, as well as
cancelled checks and invoices. A contract will be developed requiring quarterly
reimbursement requests and timely expenditure of funds. Monitoring was done via desk
audits or in person as the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions allow.
Performance Measures - Oakland County’s ESG program complies with CoC performance
measurements which are available at https://www.oaklandhomeless.org/
Homeless - 65% of participants who meet the homeless definition will be stably housed 90
days after being exited from ESG/HARA through independent means or through linkage to
another program (e.g. PSH, subsidized housing).
Chronically Homeless - 50% of participants who meet the chronically homeless definition
will be stably housed 90 days after being exited from ESG/HARA through independent
means or through linkage to another program (e.g. PSH, subsidized housing)
In April 2016, MDHHS, MSHDA and MCAH issued an important update to the SPDAT which
outlines the VI- SPDAT and SPDAT requirements. For the past two years SPDAT has brought
Michigan further along in the goal to redesign systems by providing every community a
standardized evidence-based tool to support coordinated entry while taking Housing First
practices to scale statewide. Since the implementation of the VI-SPDAT, the Alliance has
reported that the tool helps them gauge the progression of client self-sufficiency as it
relates to housing. Because the full VI-SPDAT is used during every follow-up meeting
completed with active ESG clients assisted, it is instrumental in practicing progressive
engagement with clients to ensure not only that basic needs are being fulfilled but that
linkage to other resources is being made. Additional MSHDA/ESG outcomes include
• Percentage of those served who maintain housing one year after assistance ends (RRH
and Prevention)
• Percentage of clients that increase income within that year and/or within the timeframe
of active housing assistance

for persons of low and moderate income) and requirements of 24 CFR Parts 91 and 570.
Following a Plan -- It is following a current consolidated plan that has been approved by HUD.
Use of Funds -- It has complied with the following criteria:
1.Maximum Feasible Priority. With respect to activities expected to be assisted with CDBG
funds, it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum feasible priority to activities which
benefit low- and moderate-income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or
blight. The Action Plan may also include CDBG-assisted activities which the grantee certifies are

conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community, and
other financial resources are not available (see Optional CDBG Certification).
2.Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds, including Section 108 guaranteed loans,
during program year(s) 2024 [a period specified by the grantee of one,

against properties owned and occupied by persons of low and moderate income, including any fee
charged or assessment made as a condition of obtaining access to such public improvements.
However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a fee or assessment that relates to the
capital costs of public improvements (assisted in part with CDBG funds) financed from other
revenue sources, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the
public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.
In addition, in the case of properties owned and occupied by moderate-income (not low-income)
families, an assessment or charge may be made against the property for public improvements
financed by a source other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks CDBG funds
to cover the assessment.

1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its
jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and
