1. Introduction
As part of the Annual Action Plan development process, federal regulations (24 CFR 91.200(b), 91.215(i)) include the requirement that a jurisdiction
consults extensively with community service providers, other jurisdictions, and other entities with a potential interest in or knowledge of that
jurisdiction's housing and non-housing community development issues. The city developed the Annual Action Plan through analysis of demographic
data, consultation with community groups and concerned citizens, meetings with individual contacts, consultation with public and private agencies, and
discussions with other governmental agencies. Representatives of the agencies either attended meetings or were contacted individually for input.
Individuals and organizations were invited to attend stakeholder meetings and public meetings. This provided every stakeholder, interested party, or
resident with the opportunity to reach out and provide feedback. At each meeting, attendees were encouraged to participate, provide input, and make
recommendations.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and
private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1))
The City of Boynton Beach Department of Financial Services, through its Community Improvement Division, will continue implementing activities such
as educational training and on-site technical assistance to enhance coordination efforts with public and private housing and supportive housing
providers. This coordination will ensure the successful implementation of federally funded activities and the achievement of the goals and objectives
set forth in the Consolidated Plan.
The City works with two local non-profit housing providers, one a local Habitat for Humanity affiliate and the other a community development
corporation that was designated as a community-based development organization (CBDO) to carry out a special activity by a CBDO in a low-to-
moderate-income (LMI) area referred to as the Heart of Boynton. The city donates vacant lots to both organizations to build affordable single-family
houses for sale to LMI households with incomes at or below 80%of AMI.
The City does not have a public housing authority or any public housing units. However, the Palm Beach County and Delray Beach public housing
authorities provide portable Housing Choice Vouchers that may be used in the City. The city also collaborates with the Boynton Beach Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) on housing and economic development activities. Specifically, the Boynton Beach CRA also provides vacant lots to
housing providers and assembles land, and issues requests for proposals to developers for mixed-income and mixed-use real estate development
projects that serve LMI households.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically
Annual Action Plan
2023
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2023)
homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth)and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City does not receive federal funds directly to prevent homelessness. Residents who become homeless or are at risk of being homeless are eligible
for emergency, transitional, rapid rehousing, permanent housing, and homeless prevention services through the County. The City of Boynton Beach will
continue to work closely with Palm Beach County's Division of Human Services - Homeless and Housing Alliance (HHA) to help identify housing and
services available for people who are homeless. The HHA aligns all activities and decisions with Leading the Way Home Palm Beach County, the County's
adopted plan to end homelessness. The HHA membership includes interested citizens, formerly homeless persons, non-profit organizations, service
providers, law enforcement, and faith-based agencies,governmental entities, educational organizations, and various civic groups. The HHA coordinates
applications for funding under HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) program and the State-funded Challenge grant program to ensure member efforts are
effectively targeted and non-duplicative.
The city will continue to maintain its presence as a member of the Palm Beach County Homeless Advisory Board to ensure the needs of homeless
residents within the city are considered in providing homeless services in the region. Homeless services available in Palm Beach County include meals,
housing, clothing, showers, medical care, mental health services, and various forms of housing. Assistance through emergency financial assistance, self-
sufficiency programs, drug and alcohol intervention and treatment, and other general homeless services are also available.
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, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and
administration of HMIS
The Palm Beach County Continuum of Care is the countywide strategy (inclusive of Boynton Beach) for meeting the needs of individuals and families
who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.The Continuum of Care known as the Homeless and Housing Alliance of Palm Beach County (HHA) is
responsible for developing the homeless delivery system strategy based on information provided by the Continuum of Care members.The HHA Executive
Committee serves as the decision-making body responsible for planning evaluation and coordination of HEARTH CoC resources and other relevant
homeless funding. The Executive Committee is responsible for managing community planning, coordination, and evaluation to ensure that the system
of homeless services and housing rapidly end people's homelessness permanently. The Committee consists of community-based representatives from
government, business, formerly homeless individuals, law enforcement, banking, housing, service providers, faith groups, education, veterans, and
health care. The HHA collaborates with community task forces to make sure crucial data is included in the Continuum planning process. The Homeless
Coalition of Palm Beach County is responsible for developing the Continuum of Care strategy based on information provided by the Continuum of Care
Planning Committee. The Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County's Board of Directors is a community-based Board with representatives from
government, business, formerly homeless individuals, law enforcement, banking, housing, service providers, faith groups, education, veterans, and
health care.
Although the City does not administer ESG funding, it supports efforts to house and provide support services to the homeless through the Continuum of
Annual Action Plan
2023
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2023)
Care. The Continuum of Care system begins with the Homeless Management Information System or HMIS. Homeless Individuals are navigated through
the system either by telephone or through direct contact during Outreach efforts. The Continuum of Care Point-In-Time count is conducted to identify
the number of homeless individuals and families in the county. It also serves to measure the needs of the homeless as well as provide direction for future
development of housing and services.
2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe the jurisdiction's
consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities
The City consulted with agencies, groups, and organizations through by review of agency websites, and invitations to public meetings. The lead agency
consulted with the Boynton Beach CRA, the Planning Department, and the Economic Development Department of the City and has ongoing
consultations with agencies through monthly reports, monitoring, and program implementation. The City began accepting CDBG applications from
eligible non-profit organizations for funding Public Services and housing rehabilitation activities on February 27, 2023, for FY 2023. Applications were
available online and submitted by March 27, 2023.

Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting
Publicly funded institutions and systems of care discharging persons into homelessness were not consulted because the City does not see evidence of a
significant homeless population in the City. These institutions and systems of care are addressed through the Palm Beach County CofC with referrals
from the City. Consultations are included in Palm Beach County's Consolidated Plan. Business and Civic leaders were not directly consulted but
discussions regarding homelessness were addressed with the Boynton Beach CRA staff and from a review of meeting minutes of the CRA.
Adjacent units of general local government were not consulted directly on the Plan, but the City through its Comprehensive Plan amendment has
included policies addressing regional issues (housing,transportation, and sustainability) and encouraging collaboration between the City and other
agencies. The City also has inter-local agreements with Palm Beach School Board for school concurrency.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
When eligible, CDBG funds will be utilized to leverage City general fund allocations, other local, federal, and state funds to complete community
development activities, address housing needs, and provide services to meet the needs of City residents. State funds received as an allocation from
Florida Housing Finance Corporation's State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program are an example of funding that will leverage CDBG funds
allocated to affordable housing activities. This opportunity to leverage Federal and state funds allows the City to assist very low, low, low-to moderate-
and middle-income citizens.The State SHIP fund allocation for the FY 2023-2024 is$937,892.00. Where available, the city will donate vacant city-owned
lots to community development corporations for the development of new housing as part of its neighborhood revitalization efforts.

If appropriate,describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction thatmay
be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The city will continue to seek vacant land and residential structures for donation or sale to non-profit
developers as these become available.The cost of properties in Palm Beach County has become
unaffordable because of investor speculation. At the time of submission of this Plan,the City does not
own properties that might be used to address the needs in the plan.
Discussion
The allocation of federal resources and program design will be impacted with more focus on meeting
immediate needs. Public services to assist special needs and vulnerable populations and persons who
are at risk of homelessness due to job loss will be top priority for resources.There are also opportunities
for the City to work with other governmental entities and the private sector to address the needs of
Boynton Beach residents.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
Allocation priorities were based on the City's housing and community development needs assessment
contained in the Consolidated Plan, feedback from residents and other community stakeholders, funding
applications received through a competitive grant applications cycle, and the City Commission. The CDBG
application review committee considered funding requests from non-profit agencies based upon the proposed
benefit to low- and moderate-income Boynton Beach residents, the agencies demonstrated capacity to carry
out the proposed activities, the financial feasibility of the proposed activities, and the amount of funding
available.
The economic dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionally affected low-to-moderate-
income households. Housing market conditions related to demand and supply of both affordable rental and
homeownership housing and the high costs of vacant land and construction makes it very difficult to serve the
housing needs of LMI families. The City is challenged to develop and implement a well-coordinated and

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Boynton Beach adheres to all program-specific eligibility requirements when allocating funds. Priorities for
allocation of funding have been established through a combination of public feedback, needs analysis, internal
and stakeholder feedback and opportunities for leveraging. All the proposed Action Plan projects will serve
very low-, low-, and moderate-income persons and households.
All CDBG funds will be geographically allocated citywide, with preferences on the CDBG target area as it is the
area with the highest area of minority concentration and lowest of incomes. The City plans to focus its CDBG
funds in its census tracts that have a low-to-moderate-income(LMI) population of 51 percent or more including
the area called the Heart of Boynton.

Introduction
Affordable Housing continues to be a priority with the City of Boynton Beach. The City's housing stock is aging
and low- and moderate-income homeowners cannot afford to maintain or repair their homes. For this reason,
rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing has been determined to be a high priority. The home repair needs
of elderly persons and other income eligible households will continue to be addressed under CDBG and the
SHIP Home Repair Program. During FY 2023-2024,the City of Boynton Beach will leverage State of Florida SHIP
funds to assist 21 non-homeless households with rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing units, production
of new housing units, and acquisition of an existing housing unit.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
The Homeless and Housing Alliance (HHA) of Palm Beach County(formerly the Continuum of Care) is intended
to deliver a comprehensive and coordinated continuum of services for homeless individuals and families. The
City of Boynton Beach is under the umbrella of the HHA of Palm Beach County. The system's fundamental
components include homeless prevention, outreach and assessment, emergency shelter,transitional housing,
supportive services, permanent housing, and permanent supportive housing. The HHA includes community-
based membership with representatives from government, business, formerly homeless individuals, law
enforcement, banking, housing service providers, faith groups, education, veterans, health care, and
concerned individuals. Palm Beach County Division of Human Services (the Division) continues its role as the
lead entity for the HHA which began in January 2006. City of Boynton Beach recognizes the need to address
the homeless individuals and families, and those persons with special needs. A portion of SHIP funds are set
aside for households with members with developmental disabilities.
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 City gives priority and allocates CDBG funds to projects benefiting the homeless population whenever it
receives applications for CDBG funds. While the City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds,
the City supports Palm Beach County Continuum of Care strategies to address homelessness. The City
actively collaborates with Palm Beach County and other local cities to address homeless related needs.
Palm Beach County uses the Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool(SPDAT) is the assessment tool used
during outreach activities. The tool prioritizes whom to serve and identifies what supportive services should
be provided. Palm Beach County's Homeless Outreach Team (HOT), which leads the County's homeless
outreach program, utilizes the SPDAT to conduct initial assessments in the field. Individual SPDAT scores are
used to determine what programs and services are the most needed by the homeless individual. The HOT
Team travels throughout the County to various location where the homeless are known to congregate in order
to conduct on-site screenings.
The Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County conducts Homeless Connect events throughout the County.
These events allow the homeless population to receive haircuts, toiletries, clothing, and other related items.
The Senator Phillip D. Lewis Center is the point of access for the homeless population to obtain housing and/or
services in Palm Beach County. Homeless individuals and families are referred to the Lewis Center from the
County's Homeless Outreach Team, as well as law enforcement.

OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2023)
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Palm Beach County's HHA continues to prioritize the emergency shelter component for the County's ESG
program. Palm Beach County provides ESG funding to support a transitional housing facility for single homeless
men and two emergency shelters for victims of domestic abuse.
Palm Beach County operates a temporary emergency homeless shelter, the Lewis Center Annex. This shelter
provides beds, showers, meals, medical services, and other supportive services for up to 125 chronically
homeless persons.
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
Palm Beach County assists homeless individuals and families to transition into permanent supportive and
independent housing. The following actions will be undertaken by the County and its partners to help the
homeless population transition into a permanent form of housing:
• Palm Beach County will continue to utilize Continuum of Care (CoC) and ESG funding to support
three (3) Rapid Rehousing programs. These programs will provide financial assistance to homeless
individuals/families to regain stability in permanent housing. The financial assistance will include
security deposits, rental assistance, utility deposits, and utility assistance.These households will also
continue to receive case management and other supportive services.
• HHA has established as a goal for the Continuum to give funding priority to permanent supportive
housing programs that dedicate 100%of their beds for the chronically homeless.
• State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) funds will be used by the County to operate a Housing
Reentry Assistance (REAP) Program. This homeless prevention program will provide rental security
and utility deposits to eligible households whose income is up to 50%AMI.
• The County's CoC funding will continue to support permanent supportive housing programs that
dedicate 100% of their beds for the chronic homeless population. These programs provide 64
housing and support services to individuals as well to families.
• The County will continue the SMART (Support, Marketing, Assistance, Rental, Tenant) campaign
which recruits potential landlords to a database to match them with homeless individuals and
families who need housing. Persons housed under this program are provided with deposits and
monthly rental assistance which vary in length and dollar amounts based on the client's needs. Each
household is assigned a case manager who in turn becomes the landlord's point of contact.

2021
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2023)
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.
Palm Beach County uses local, state, and federal funding to support Homeless Prevention activities that are
designed to assist low-income persons and families that find themselves threatened with homelessness:
• Palm Beach County provides financial assistance in the form of emergency rent and/or utility payments
to households in order to prevent the household from becoming homeless. Homeless prevention funds
target those individuals and families who would become homeless without the assistance.
• Palm Beach County participates in the Reentry Task Force whose mission is to implement comprehensive
re-entry services to ex-offenders from the time of their entry into the prison system through their
transition,reintegration,and aftercare in the community.These services will include,among others,case
management and housing assistance. The Reentry Task Force partners include Palm Beach County,
Criminal Justice Commission and Gulfstream Goodwill Industries.
• Palm Beach County makes funding available to agencies that provide housing and support services to
youth who have been discharged from the state's foster care program and provides CoC funding to
support the "Connecting Youth to Opportunities" program that provides rapid re-housing and support
services to unaccompanied youth ages 18 to 24 who have aged out of the foster care system.
• The Lewis Center coordinates with area hospitals and mental health facilities to permit discharged
patients to receive referrals to the Lewis Center. The referrals will allow for the discharged persons to
access the County's homeless services.
The County's Division of Human and Veterans Services has oversight of HUD's Youth Homeless Demonstration
Program (YHDP). The County awarded 3 nonprofit agencies funding under this program to provide eligible
activities that serve youth experiencing homeless, including unaccompanied and pregnant or parenting youth,
where no member of the household is older than 24 years of age.
Discussion
The Homeless and Housing Alliance (HHA)of Palm Beach County,with the support of the members of the CoC
within the County, strategically support the needs of persons experiencing homelessness and persons with
special needs. The jurisdiction will continue to support the most vulnerable, at-risk community members
through housing and supportive services.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing—91.220(j)
Introduction:
The City of Boynton Beach remains committed to providing Affordable Housing. The city and its Community
Redevelopment Agency conduct housing studies, and adopts plan ordinances to eliminate barriers to
affordable housing. The city actively seeks to assist potential homeowners and developers interested in
developing in our community.
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's adopted Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) delineates steps taken to eliminate barriers to
affordable housing. The City moved to lessen restrictions on development of non-conforming lots. The
regulations focused on the Heart of Boynton District,the area with a significant number of such lots.They were
previously unbuildable due to lot size and frontage requirements. In order to allow single-family residences to
be built on these lots, staff modified development standards including revisions to lot area, lot frontage,
setbacks, and minimum livable area. This action furthered the City's goal of increasing the inventory of
attainable housing. Community Improvement staff continue to work closely with the city's' Planning
Department and is currently strategizing with local affordable housing providers. Staff remains committed to
the following:
• Explore actions to eliminate land development regulations that impede affordable housing
• Continuing supporting traditional lenders who support affordable housing and promote equal housing
for all
• Educate low and very low-income persons of fair lending rights and policies
• Prioritize the provision of housing for very low, low, and moderate-income families with persons with
physical or mental disabilities
Discussion:
The production of affordable housing requires intense collaboration with lenders, developers, community
leaders, and local government. It requires many incentives to keep everyone at the table in an effort to
eliminate stigmas that may be associated with the production. All involved need to understand what the
investment does to the community.

Introduction:
The City of Boynton Beach will undertake a variety of activities aimed at addressing the needs of the low-and
moderate-income households. This includes providing affordable housing to the extremely low-income
population, addressing homelessness, and providing public services to low income children and families in
need.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City supports services and projects aimed at addressing homelessness, social services, and housing
affordability. The City of Boynton Beach will continue its current initiatives and collaborations with sub
grantees, other public, private agencies and social service providers to meet the needs and eliminate the
obstacles of its underserved residents. Programs utilizing CDBG funds and other countywide sources, impact
numerous families with job searches, suitable housing, and food. The network fosters communication
throughout the city.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City preserves existing affordable housing stock by help financing rehabilitation of affordable housing
projects or negotiating with the new owners of affordable housing projects. The City continually supports the
preservation and development of affordable housing to maintain and increase affordable housing supply.
Addition incentives offered are expedited permitting, and reduction in building fees. The City will continue
efforts of fostering and maintaining existing and new affordable housing by working with our housing partners
and potential new developers to expand and increase affordable housing opportunities.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
Overall, the goal of the City of Boynton Beach is to eliminate lead-based paint hazards and prevent childhood
poisoning in our community. This can only be achieved through partnering with our public and private sectors.
The City will follow all procedures specified in the applicable program regulations for activities receiving these
funds. The city will also provide all contractors/sub-recipient agencies the required notifications to owners
and occupants and inspect for defective paint surfaces in pre-1978 properties assisted. Any defective paint
conditions found will be included in the project scope of work and treatment provided to the defective areas.
All paint inspections, risk assessments and clearance testing of suspect properties will be performed by
licensed testing professionals. As a policy, the city provides the HUD required informational pamphlets to
homeowners and contractors to ensure that both the lead safe work and the EPS's Renovation Repair, and
Painting Rule (RRP) practices are being used for all Federally funded housing activities.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City's Economic Development efforts will provide incentives for business owner that will address the
reduction of poverty level families. The city will work to increase the number of higher paying jobs that may
in-turn reduce the number of poverty-level families and strive to expand new economic opportunities to build
a more equitable business climate in Boynton Beach. Through its partnering agencies and non-profits

for job training and placement for youth and adults.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City has a strong system of delivering and coordinating its community development goals and objectives
internally with its City Departments and externally through its partnerships with lenders, nonprofit developers
and social service providers throughout the county that allows for the leveraging of resources. The city
undertakes a consultation process each year and invites comments/feedback from stakeholders within the
housing and service delivery environs.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City will continue to work with public and private agencies to coordinate the delivery of housing and
related services. The City also maintains close relationship with nonprofit organizations that provide social
services to the community.
The City administers its homeowner programs for existing and new homeowners with CDBG and State funding
with its collaboration efforts with lenders, housing providers, and public housing agencies.This delivered with
credit counseling, budgeting, and foreclosure prevention.
Discussion:
Affordable housing development requires multiple funding sources including the City's local funds, State
dollars, federal funding, and available redevelopment property amassed by the City. To keep pace with the
increasing demand for affordable housing and to balance development to ensure locational choice, continued
federal and state funding is needed.
