Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary- 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
As a requirement of the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)' Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, and per 24 CFR Part 91 — Consolidated Submissions for
Community Planning and Development Programs,the City of Boynton Beach ("City") is required to submit
an Annual Action Plan.The Annual Action Plan is a component of the City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan for
fiscal Year 2017/2021.The City continues its focus on priorities that are essential to the primary objectives
of Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. Those objectives continue
to be the provision of decent housing, suitable living environments, and the expansion of economic
opportunities for its citizens, particularly low/moderate income persons.
The City of Boynton Beach's objectives plan focuses on the preservation of existing housing stock, providing
new affordable housing, homelessness and special needs, and meeting other non-housing and community
development needs associated with the reduction of poverty, educational needs and economic
development incentives.
The Annual Action Plan is an application for funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program, which identifies activities that will be undertaken during the next fiscal year. These activities
selected for funding are in accordance with the priorities established by the 2017/2021 Consolidated Plan
and are in accordance with the primary objectives of the program.
HUD's published allocation of $597, 962 to the City of Boynton Beach for Program Year (PY) 2020 is the
subject of this Annual Action Plan.

Annual Action Plan 1
2020
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09130/2021)
when determining the allocation of CDBG funds to proposed FY 2020-21 activities. The CDBG program
committee considered funding requests from nonprofit organizations based upon the proposed benefit to
low-to-moderate income residents,their experience in carrying out the proposed activities and meeting the
CDBG requirements. CDBG funding was allocated only to activities that address the high priority needs of
the 2017/2021 Consolidated Plan which were owner-occupied housing rehabilitation, public services, and
neighborhood revitalization of the Heart of Boynton low-income target area.
The COVID-19 pandemic started in the spring of 2020 in the middle of the CDBG program year and drastically
affected the delivery of services. Due to social distancing requirements and business closures,the city was
limited in the completion of housing rehabilitation cases. Its public services subrecipients had to fund
alternative methods of delivering services such as virtual counseling and meetings, delivery of services
directly to beneficiaries, and were forced to address the most immediate needs of its clients such as
accessing unemployment benefits and other emergency resources.
For FY 2019,the completion of the Consolidated Annual CAPER was delayed as allowed under HUD waivers
from the CARES Act.The following FY 2019 performance measures were based on the subrecipient and IDIS
reports:
• $40,240 in CDBG funding was expended including $5,986 in public services, education, and fair
housing. No funds were drawn for planning and administration.
• 141 households were assisted with housing counseling and homebuyer mortgage readiness
• 14 houses were completed including new construction and acquisition rehabilitation for
homeownership or rental
• 1,366 persons were assisted with public services including victims of domestic violence, and

Introduction
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. The City funds with CDBG monies, local non-profit agencies who provide services to the homeless in
cases of emergencies, and further assists them to obtain permanent assistance through the Palm Beach County
division of Human Services Homeless and Housing Alliance(Continuum of Care).
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
While the City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, the City supports Palm Beach County
Continuum of Care strategies to address homelessness. Additionally, the City actively collaborates with the
County and other local cities to address homeless related needs.Finally,the City gives priority and allocates CDBG
funds to projects benefiting the homeless population whenever it receives applications for CDBG funds.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City makes referrals of person at risk of homelessness to the Palm Beach County homeless services.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City of Boynton Beach will collaborate with the Palm Beach County division of Human Services Homeless and
Housing Alliance (Continuum of Care) and the Phillip D. Lewis Center providing referral services for people who
are homeless.
Annual Action Plan 29

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
commu nity.
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.

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
designed to meet other community development needs having particular urgency because existing
conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community,and
other financial resources are not available(see Optional CDBG Certification).
2,Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds, including Section 108 guaranteed loans,
during program year(s) FY 2020 — [a period specified by the grantee of
one,two,or three specific consecutive program years],shall principally benefit persons of low and
moderate income in a manner that ensures that at least 70 percent of the amount is expended for
activities that benefit such persons during the designated period.

assisted with CDBG funds,including Section 108 loan guaranteed funds,by assessing any amount
against properties owned and occupied by persons of low and moderate income, including any fee
charged or assessment made as a condition of obtaining access to such public improvements.
However,if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a fee or assessment that relates to the
capital costs of public improvements(assisted in part with CDBG funds)financed from other
revenue sources,an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the
public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.
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.
