Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Deerfield Beach shares a common border with the cities of Pompano Beach, Boca Raton,
Lighthouse Point, Hillsboro Beach and Coconut Creek. The City has an inter-local agreement with Broward
County. In addition, the city interacts formally and informally with numerous state and regional agencies,
utility companies, authorities and special districts for provision and regulation services.
The housing needs assessment over the next five years for this plan was gathered from the 2009-2013
American Community Survey and supported by the 2013 US Census Bureau. Deerfield Beach is a suburban
community located in Broward County, FL with a population of 78,000. The beachfront city is a popular
destination for both permanent and seasonal residents including the region’s senior population. In 2004, the
population was estimated at 77,039 with a projection to increase to 80,880 by 2010 and 93,040 by 2020. The
population growth from the 2004 information and the 2013 US Census represents a 20.8% increase. Like
much of Broward County, Deerfield Beach, FL is essentially built out, which is contributed to this unanticipated
projected shortfall. With just three percent vacant land, the city is now looking at how to accommodate
future growth through infill development and redevelopment.
The estimated median household income in 2013 is $38,353 with a household size of 2.38 residents compared
to $34,041 at 2.02 residents in 2000. The City’s defined areas of low and moderate concentration consist of
Census tract Block Groups 102.00, 103.01, 103.03, 103.04, 103.05, 103.06, 103.07, 104.03, 104.05, 107.01 and
107.02. Using the 2009 – 2013 American Community Survey, 44.2% of the City of Deerfield Beach population
is minority (25.6% Black or Africa American, 0.2% Native American, 1.5% Asian, 14.2% Hispanic, and 2.7 two or
more races). The white population comprises 65.8% of the population.
Homelessness
Persons threaten with Homeless and Homeless Needs
The City of Deerfield Beach will continue to work with Broward County’s Continuum of Care Homeless
Program to prevent a return to homelessness for a family or individuals that most often unable to acquire and
maintain regular, safe, secure and adequate housing. The Continuum of Care Program is a comprehensive
management concept that requires a combination of needed services to be brought together in a coordinated
manner to help move to self-sufficiency. The City has built partnerships and will continue to work with its
partners that provide the direct services to the homeless, which includes those who live in Deerfield Beach.
The City will continue to work in conjunction with the County and the Continuum of Care, and will support and
facilitate a coordinated strategy for providing additional shelters to families and individuals in need of
assistance. The City adopts and supports Broward County homeless priorities by its participation on the
Homeless Initiative Partnership (HIP) Advisory Board.

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
The staff used the 200-2013 CHAS data supported by 2013 American Community Survey 1-Year estimate data
where necessary to determine the needs going forward for the Strategic Plan. The purpose of the plan is to set
priorities for funding activities for the next five years or until amended. The major point of concern used in the
determination of priorities is the housing cost burden challenge facing low and moderate income residents.
Staff estimates that 40% of the city of Deerfield Beach households cost burdened (paying more than 35% of
household income towards housing cost). Low and moderate income households have a much greater chance
of living in a cost burdened condition, 50% of families whose household income is between 0-80% HAMFI
annually are cost burdened as opposed to 30% of families whose annual household income is 80% or higher..
Cost burdened homeowners are more likely to struggle with housing repair. The Community Housing
Assessment estimates that 14,230 units within the City of Deerfield Beach lack complete plumbing or kitchen
facilities. In addition, 25,724 of the owner occupied housing units in the city were built from 1950-1979. The
relative age of the housing stock housing deterioration due to aging becomes a large expense for cost
burdened low and moderate income households.
Cost Burdened renters are less likely to be able to save towards homeownership. More than half of renterhouseholds, 5,520, live in a cost burdened situation.
To address housing repair and the reduction of cost burdened families, the Strategy Plan includes Housing
Rehabilitation, Acquisition, Homeowner Assistance and Tenant-Based Rental Assistance as high priorities.
However, it is important to note that Cost Burden has historically been a problem for the residents. During a sharp
decline in housing values from 2007-2011 ($504,600 - $298,000), the median monthly owner cost for City of Deerfield
Beach residents remained $1,447. This means that household income must be addressed. Earning power of Deerfield
Beach is complicit in most housing problems and generally adversely affects family socio-economic growth. According to
the Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-in-time Count Report the top reason for homelessness is
“Employment/Financial” followed by “Foreclosure”.
To address household earning power, Job Training, Economic Development and Education are high priorities in the
Strategic Plan.
3. Evaluation of past performance
In PY 2013, the City implemented a HUD approved work out plan to expend the CDBG balances that had accrued from
the program being on hold and transitioning to a different department and management team. The City successfully
executed this workout plan and in June of 2014 met HUD’s annual timeliness test.

Introduction
The City of Deerfield Beach shares a common border with the cities of Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, Lighthouse Point,
Hillsboro Beach and Coconut Creek. The City has an inter-local agreement with Broward County. In addition, the city
interacts formally and informally with numerous state and regional agencies, utility companies, authorities and special
districts for provision and regulation services.
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(I)).
The City of Fort Lauderdale has an administrative authority over HOPWA grant allocations in its role as lead agency, The
City of Fort Lauderdale in cooperation with the partners of the Continuum of Care Institutional delivery system including
the City of Deerfield Beach, provide these services to residents of Deerfield Beach. Referrals are made to the
appropriate agencies. The lead agency coordinates the funding of eligible non-profit organizations to provide
comprehensive services for persons and families affected by HIV/AIDS, the City of Deerfield Beach refers any inquires or
indentified needs to the HOPWA administrator.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly
chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and
persons at risk of homelessness
The Homeless Initiative Partnership Services is administered through funding from Broward County, the state and the
federal government to maintain a county-wide Continuum of Care. Broward County’s Homeless Continuum of Care
addresses all aspects of homeless including prevention, outreach, emergency shelter, transitional and permanent
affordable housing and supportive services.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate
ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for
the administration of HMIS
The complexity and regional nature of the special needs populations in the area encourage, the City will strive to
support the development and expansion of facilities to address these needs through the coordination of efforts with
other units of local government, including Broward County. This cooperative approach will better enable social service
agencies to secure adequate funding for the special needs of families with children, the homeless, those threatened with
homelessness, and those not capable of achieving independent living. The City will support grant applications by social
service and other non-profit agencies that meet needs identified in this Consolidated Plan, provided the organizations
demonstrate the capacity to implement the proposed activities. In updating the Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) for
South Florida, the South Florida Regional Planning Council sought the input of all local jurisdictions in the region, which
includes Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties, as well as interested agencies, organizations and individuals in
order to identify those strategic issues which most impact the region. The SRPP establishes strategic regional goals and
policies designed to move the region toward becoming a livable, sustainable and competitive community.
This strategy recognizes a set of interrelated issues requiring a systematic approach of coordinated actions on the part of
all involved to achieve meaningful resolutions.

Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment
The housing needs assessment over the next five years for this plan was gathered from the 2009-2013 American
Community Survey and supported by the 2013 US Census Bureau. Deerfield Beach is a suburban community
located in Broward County, FL with a population of 78,000. The beachfront city is a popular destination for
both permanent and seasonal residents including the region’s senior population. In 2004, the population was
estimated at 77,039 with a projection to increase to 80,880 by 2010 and 93,040 by 2020. The population
growth from the 2004 information and the 2013 US Census represents a 20.8% increase. Like much of
Broward County, Deerfield Beach, FL is essentially built out, which is contributed to this unanticipated
projected shortfall. With just three percent vacant land, the city is now looking at how to accommodate future
growth through infill development and redevelopment.
The estimated median household income in 2013 is $38,353 with a household size of 2.38 residents compared
to $34,041 at 2.02 residents in 2000. The City’s defined areas of low and moderate concentration consist of
Census tract Block Groups 102.00, 103.01, 103.03, 103.04, 103.05, 103.06, 103.07, 104.03, 104.05, 107.01 and
107.02. Using the 2009 – 2013 American Community Survey, 44.2% of the City of Deerfield Beach
population is minority (25.6% Black or Africa American, 0.2% Native American, 1.5% Asian, 14.2% Hispanic,
and 2.7 two or more races). The white population comprises 65.8% of the population.

The Board of County Commissioners, on December 7, 1993, approved the Broward County Initiative
Report as prepared by the Broward County Homeless Task Force, which recommended the
establishment of an advisory board to act as the agent for the Board of County Commissioners in the
development and implementation of homeless assistance programs. The City will provide no specific
services to the homeless, as outlined in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. However, the City’s police
department (Broward Sherriff’s Office) will continue the policy of assisting homeless individuals and
families found on the City streets by transporting them to emergency shelter and food locations. HIP
provides support to the Homeless Providers and Stakeholders Council and is responsible for carrying out
the Continuum of Care Board’s responsibilities designated as the Local Coalition by the State of Florida.
This is done through:
Researching and incorporating appropriate best practices models to improve service delivery;
Expanding supportive housing capacity for the mentally ill, those in recovery, and others with
disabilities;
Developing and implementing strategies to better deal with institutional discharge and access to
mainstream resources;
Expanding and enhancing mentoring opportunities for homeless persons; and
Researching methods to expand the stock of affordable housing in Broward County.
The County’s Continuum of Care strategic plan is updated by the HIP Board and Administration annually and
revisited through this HUD Homeless Continuum of Care Application Revisions are incorporated into the
Consolidated Plan and distributed to all entitlement communities within Broward County. The Homeless
Initiative Partnership Administration is part of the Broward County Human Services Department Divisions,
which include: Community Development, Office of Housing Finance, Substance Abuse and Health Care
Services, Elderly and Veteran Services, Family Success Administration, Children’s Services Administration and
Program Development, Research and Evaluation.
Special Need Population
The Consolidated Plan must address non-homeless population with special needs for supportive housing. These
population groups include Elderly, frail elderly, persons with mental illness, developmentally-disable persons,
persons with alcohol/drug additions and person with AIDs and related diseases as well as children coming out
of foster care homes. First Call for Help is a 24 hour comprehensive helpline service that will significantly

Elderly and Frail who need Supportive Housing
Florida is the fourth most populous state, with over 18.8 million citizens counted in the 2010 Census. With an
estimated 3.3 million persons age 65 and older, Florida ranks number one for the percentage of citizens who are
seniors. Although the national percentage of the 65 and older population is increasing, it remains only 12.9
percent, while comparatively, Florida’s 65 and older population is up to 17.6% and growing. The growth of the
older population has not occurred uniformly throughout the state. About half of the population growth among
seniors comes from amenity-seeking retirees who move to Florida. In the past, the traditional destination
counties have been in Southeast Florida. However, an increasing number of retirees have been moving into
counties in Northeast, Northwest and Southwest Florida. The counties with the largest number of seniors are
located in South and Central Florida. The top ten counties by size of elderly population are Miami-Dade,
Broward, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Lee, Sarasota, Orange, Brevard and Volusia. These ten counties
account for 55% of the elderly population in the state. It was noted on the 2013 Quick facts from the US
Census Bureau that persons 65 years and older represent 21.5% or 16,779 elderly for Deerfield Beach, Florida.
Although information to determine the number of elderly and frail elderly who are in need of supportive
housing was not available, the City must continue to look to make recommendations concerning the
coordination efforts of initiatives to provide a continuum of care for the elderly and frail elderly. These services
are paramount to the continued success of individuals and families of Deerfield Beach elderly population.
The City of Deerfield Beach has partnered with the Northeast Focal Point Center to help the elderly maintain
maximum independence in their homes and communities and to promote a continuum of care for the vulnerable
elderly. As the number of older people increases with the aging of the baby boom population, the need for a
wide spectrum of services is expected to place pressure on the aging services network Northeast Focal Point
Senior Center located at 227 NW Second Street is a key part of that network and offers a large number of
invaluable programs. Deerfield Beach seniors’ program and participation statistics for 2015 are listed below:

Family and Youth Service
The Human Services Department has 4 Divisions and 2 Offices, one of which is a branch office located at the
North Satellite Courthouse, 1600 West Hillsboro Blvd. Deerfield Beach Florida. The City has developed
partnerships with the public and private sectors to provide assistance in an integrated, comprehensive,
community based manner. All services that are provided by Human Services are available to Deerfield Beach
residents that are uninsured, underinsured, struggling due to a catastrophic event or that otherwise meet
specified program requirements. Individual and families have begun to enroll in health insurance plans offered
under the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act or Affordable Care Act (ACA) on October 1, 2013 through the
Health Insurance Marketplace. The Health Insurance Marketplace is a virtual site where residents were able to
compare health plans and be offered affordable health insurance potions. Middle and low-income families
received tax credits that cover a significant portion of the cost of coverage.
Boy and Girl of Broward County
The Boys & Girls Clubs of America was founded in 1860 in Connecticut to give local boys a positive
alternative to the streets. Over the years the Club turned into a national movement reaching a membership of
over four million boys and girls, making it one of the largest youth serving agencies in the United States. The
Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County joined the national organization in 1965 and have grown along with the
movement. We now have 13 facilities with a membership of over 13,000 youth, making us one of the largest
Boys & Girls Club organizations in the nation.

Lead-Based Paint Hazards
Lead paint hazards are created when lead-based paint peels, flakes, chips, chalks, or creates leaded dust when
painted surfaces, like windows, rub against each other. Residential structures built before 1978, prior to the
reduction of the lead in paint, are at-risk for potential lead-based paint hazards, and in particular, young children
are at the greatest risk. The City of Deerfield Beach supports efforts to educate the public about the dangers of
lead-based paint and to develop better methods of lead paint identification and control. In cooperation with the
Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitation Services, the City will take the following actions to ensure that
this serious health issue is monitored and abated where necessary and appropriate: Screen for lead-based paint
in all housing rehabilitation programs, and where lead-based paint exists, include abatement in housing
rehabilitation activities.

The four severe housing problems are:
1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities, 2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities, 3. More than 1.5 persons per room, 4.Cost
Burden over 50%
Discussion
Generally, housing needs tend to subside as income rises. Households at 0%-30% of AMI have an 81% occurrence of
severe housing need, as compared to households at 80%-100% of AMI that have only a 19% occurrence of severe
housing need. While there is an instance of racial/ethnic disproportion within the 0%-30% AMI grouping, the data
suggests that the driving force behind severe housing need within the City of Deerfield Beach is household earning
power. Issues of racial/ethnic disproportion can be addressed by affirmative marketing of existing programs to the
identified demographics.

Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting
List for accessible units:
The Deerfield Beach Housing Authority has a 1,369 person waiting list for Housing Choice Vouchers, 2 year waiting list
for public housing and a 200 person waiting list for senior public housing. It is automatic to assume the senior public
housing applicants need some form of accessibility assistance. Regularly, ovens in the units are lowered and walkin/wheel-in showers are installed.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders
The greatest need is accessible units and large family units.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large
The Deerfield Beach Housing Authority services a larger percentage of seniors than housing providers in the general
market. Large families tend to be serviced by DBHA more than housing providers in the area without overcrowding
being an obstacle.
Discussion
There is a need for affordable housing to serve families of very low, low and moderate income without
overcrowding being an obstacle. Affordable housing continues to be a need for seniors in the area.

Introduction:
The City used the Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-In-Time Count Report as a data source for the information in
this section. The 2014 Point-In –Time Survey numbers are used for the optional Nature and Extent of Homelessness
Table.
The City of Deerfield Beach homeless population represents an estimated 3% of the total Broward County emergency
homeless numbers and 3% of the total Broward County transitional homeless numbers. The City has approximately 2%
unsheltered homeless.
The Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-In-Time Count Report identifies 2,810 homeless count for Fort
Lauderdale/Broward County C of C – 2013. An additional 783 were counted as “at-risk” of homelessness, which is
generally defined as an individual or family seeking permanent housing but who stayed the previous night at an
institution; a hotel paid by self; a jail, prison or detention center; a family or friend’s house; or were facing imminent
eviction; or in foster care. However, the study shows a trend from 2003 to 2013 that shows since 2003 the homeless
population has decreased and the current composition of the homeless population is decreasing.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of
veterans.
The Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-In-Time Count Report estimates that the top reason for homelessness is
“Employment/Financial” followed by “Foreclosure”. Also, the report estimates that 36.66% of the current homeless
population has no financial resources. Therefore, staff estimates the number and type families in need of housing
assistance will match those figures in the Cost Burden Analysis of “No or Negative Income” over the next five years. The
American Community Survey 1-Year estimates for 2013 estimates that there are 5,326 veterans within the City of
Deerfield Beach. There is 8% of the veteran population with a disability under age 65 years. Approximately 40% of the
homeless population in the United States has a disability. Broward County’s numbers exceed that with an average of
56%. This fact, coupled with the low probability of the homeless having health insurance, decrease the odds of the
disabled group’s ability to migrate out of the homeless system. According to the 2009 Annual Homeless Assessment
Report to Congress the group with the greatest risk of homelessness is poor veterans. In general, veterans have a 1 in
10 chance of becoming homeless. Staff used 1 in 10 estimates to determine the projected housing assistance need for
families of veterans over the next five years.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.
The Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-In-Time Count Report compares the total population of Broward County
racial breakdown to the Point-In-Time Survey. Approximately 49% of the homeless in Broward County self-identify as
Black/African American while only 24% of the total Broward County population self-identifies as Black/African American.
The gender composition of the homeless population is 61% male, 38% female and 1% other. The report states that the
general composition of a homeless person in Broward County is: a Black male between the ages of 25-54, presenting
with either a substance abuse or mental health issue.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment – 91.205 (b,d)
Introduction:
The Special Needs Population include the elderly, frail elderly, persons with a mental, physical and/or developmental
disabilities, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, children aging out of
foster care, and victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
There is an estimated 16,779 persons of 65 years of age or older in the City of Deerfield Beach (21.5% of the population).
Many elders continue to work into older ages and remain in the workforce. The City of Deerfield Beach elders often live
alone. Persons of 65 years of age or older are half of the 1-person owner occupied households in the City and are 40% of
the 1-person rental households.
There are an estimated 9,444 persons at 75 years of age or older in the City of Deerfield Beach. Although it would not be
true for all, many people at 75 years of age or older need one or more types of daily living assistance (bathing, walking,
or performing light housework) in order to age in place.
For the purposes of this plan, persons with disabilities include three categories; mental, physical, and developmental. It
is estimated that 56% of the homeless population of the Broward County have a disability as opposed to the 40% in the
nation. The American Community Survey (2009-2013) estimates there are 426 disabled veterans (8% of the total veteran
population – 5,326). The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports that 1 in 4 American adults experience a
mental health condition or disorder during a given year, and 1 in 17 lives with a serious mental illness. A national study
the agency did in 2008 showed Florida had 660,443 (3% of the total 2008 population) adults with mental illness, one of
the highest populations in the nation (extrapolates to 2,341 City of Deerfield Beach residents). The American Community
Survey Estimate for 2012 estimates physical disabilities as a percentage of the population as follows: Hearing difficulty 3.0% Vision difficulty - 3.2% Ambulatory difficulty - 4.4% Self-care difficulty - 4.4% Independent living difficulty - 4.6%.
It is not precisely known how many people have intellectual and developmental disabilities. However, most dependable
sources tend to agree on 1.5% to 2.5% of the total general population of the United States. According to a 2010 study by
the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), developmental delays are common and were reported in approximately 1 in 6
children in the United States (about 16%) in 2006-2008. It is important to note that not all of these identified children
will be considered to have an intellectual or developmental disability as they age into adulthood. Functional adaptive
skills emerge throughout the developmental years and the prevalence of disability in adulthood is less than in children.
Staff has extrapolated these data points to estimate a total of 1,951 the City of Deerfield Beach residents with
developmental disabilities.
The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) is a nationally representative public health surveillance system that monitors
drug related emergency department visits to hospitals. The responsibility for DAWN rests with the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ). According
to DAWN data, there were 32,893 visits to the emergency Department in the Miami-Hollywood-Fort Lauderdale
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Visits included abuses of Alcohol, Cocaine, Heroin, Cannabinoids, Amphetamines,
Methamphetamines, MDMA (Ecstasy), and other Psychotherapeutic Agents. The age demographic with highest
occurrences of emergency department visits are between the ages of 35 and 54.
According to Florida's County and Jurisdictional Reported Domestic Violence Offenses (2013), The City of Deerfield
Beach (Broward Sherriff’s Office) made 0 arrest for murder, 1 forcible rapes,2 forcible fondling, 17 aggravated assaults, 0
aggravated stalking, 72 simple assaults, 2 threats/intimidation, and 0 stalking occurrences.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs - 91.415, 91.215 (f)
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:
The City of Deerfield Beach will need to upgrade the Johnny Tigner Community Center at Westside Park. It
was built without the latest technology amenities; therefore, not useful for community events and training as
was originally planned for in this community.
How were these needs determined?
Residents and staff identified this need during the two public hearings held in conjunction with the citizen participation
plan for this Five Year Consolidated Plan (2015-2019).
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements:
Ingress and egress to Westside Park was identified as needing two ways in and two ways out, it currently only
has one. Also, several streets and sidewalks were identified as needing repaired or replaced. The drainage in
the same areas needs improvement. The census tracts identified in this plan and the annexed areas to
Deerfield Beach from Broward County are the identified areas for these improvements
How were these needs determined?
Residents and staff identified these needs during the two public hearings held in conjunction with the citizen
participation plan for this Five Year Consolidated Plan (2015-2019). In addition, the City’s engineering and
public works division identifies these needs.
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services:
Affordable Senior Transportation is needed to continue services to seniors with low incomes.
Coordination with the School Board of Broward County and education service providers is needed to assist the
Deerfield Beach students with the STEM programs and with technology and computer classes.
Income Retention and Financial Planning Counseling is needed to educate those new homeowners and
housing rehabilitation recipients with managing their households.
How were these needs determined?
Residents and staff identified these needs during the two public hearings held in conjunction with the citizen
participation plan for this Five Year Consolidated Plan (2015-2019).

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
There are 42,335 conventional housing units within the city and 2,076 unconventional housing units (Mobile homes,
boats, RV’s, Vans, etc.) with a vacancy rate of25% of the occupied units, 20,562 of the units are owner-occupied and
11,149 are renter occupied. Staff estimates that 26,348 housing units occupied by low or moderate income families have
the presence of lead-based paint. Cost burden has historically been a problem for the residents, during a sharp decline in
housing values from 2007-2011 ($504,600 - $298,000), the median monthly owner cost for the City of Deerfield Beach
residents remained above 35%.
Over 62% of the occupied housing stock was built prior to 1980. At least 20% of the owner occupied units have a
condition of cost burden, overcrowding or lacks complete plumbing or kitchen facilities (we know from the Housing
Needs Assessment that 8,480 owner-occupied units lack complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, and are overcrowded
and 7,405 units are cost burdened). At least 13.6% of the renter-occupied units have a condition of cost burden,
overcrowding or lacks complete plumbing or kitchen facilities (we know from the Housing Needs Assessment that 5,750
renter-occupied units lack complete plumbing or kitchen facilities and are overcrowded and 5,370 units are cost
burdened). Staff estimates that 26,348 units in the City of Deerfield Beach have the presence of lead and 45,290 are low
to moderate income households.
The Deerfield Beach Housing Authority administers both a public housing and Section 8 housing voucher program. The
Housing Authority owns and manages 3 public housing projects which contain 252 affordable rental units. It also
administers 450 Housing Choice vouchers and has 1,369 person waiting list for vouchers and a 200 person senior waiting
list for Public Housing sites. The Deerfield Housing Authority has routinely scored as a high performing Housing
Authority, most recently scoring 96 out of 100 on the most recent evaluation.
The major employment sectors within the City of Deerfield are: Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations, Education and
Healthcare Services and Wholesale & Retail Trade. Unlike the major business sectors within the city, the education and
healthcare sector has slightly more jobs than workers.
The city primarily addresses the needs of the Special Needs Community through the Northeast Focal Point Services
Programs that is knowledgeable of the regional services offered for the Homeless and Non-Homeless and Special Needs
Community. The staff at Focal Point provides transportation to seniors and makes referrals to agencies on the region for
particular needs. The City funds agencies/other units of the city that provide employment training for persons who are
not homeless but have other special needs as an expansion of economic opportunity.

Describe the need for specific types of housing:
Attracted by the ease of renting and convenient locations, young middle and upper income families are often renting in
lieu of purchasing. This dynamic increases the value of rental properties and further exacerbates the Cost Burden
problem for the low or moderate income renter.

Introduction:
According to data provided by the 2007-2013 American Community Survey the median Home Value is $108,600. The
following report shows that the City of Deerfield Beach low and moderate income residents are likely to live cost burden
situations. It is important to note that during a sharp decline in housing values from 2007– 2011($504,600- $298,000),
the median monthly owner cost of the City of Deerfield Beach residents remained above 35%. However, at the current
home rent rate is plausible to build rental properties capable of sustaining themselves with the rents garnered from
eligible families.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210 (a)
Introduction:
Over 9,520 occupied housing stock was built prior to 1971 and 26,348 prior to 1980. A little less than half of the owneroccupied units have a condition of cost burden, overcrowding or lacks complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. More
than half of the renter-occupied units have a condition of cost burden, overcrowding or lacks complete plumbing or
kitchen facilities. Efforts to address the housing conditions through rehabilitation have been successful for owner
occupied units. The City of Deerfield Beach Housing rehabilitation program has been one of the most popular programs
that the city has undertaken. However, the rental rehabilitation program has not been as successful. Landlords have
been hesitant to adhere to the funding requirements.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your
jurisdiction?
The major employment sectors within the City of Deerfield are: Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations,
Education and Healthcare Services and Wholesale & Retail Trade. Unlike the major business sectors within the
city, the education and healthcare sector has slightly more jobs than workers.
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
The workforce in the City of Deerfield Beach will need training in the sectors of Healthcare and Education. The
businesses in those sectors seek employees from outside Deerfield Beach due to the demand and the lack of
capacity with residents in the City of Deerfield Beach. In addition, as students graduate from High School they
need to be directed to the growth industries and future trend industries for skill development and education.
The Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce is working with the local Schools to give direction and coordinate
necessary training programs.
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or
private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth
opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support
or infrastructure these changes may create.
The Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce is focusing in the Nautical Industry as an additional growth
industry for Deerfield Beach. The educational and workforce development agencies have been consulted and
are a part of the initiative to ensure trained workers are in place. The Healthcare (Broward Health and Univ. of
Miami Sylvester Clinic) and Educational (Florida Atlantic Univ.) industries will remain a focus as well

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the
jurisdiction?
Career Source (Workforce Development Unit in Broward County) continues to work with the existing
employers to train the local workforce for the needs of the local industries.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment
Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the
jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
Broward College, Florida Atlantic University, Nova Southeastern University, Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance,
and the Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce work together with industries such as Jim Moran Auto, FAU,
Broward Health Outreach, and Boys and Girls Club programs to ensure workforce training initiatives stay
current.
Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)?
Yes, currently, the City of Deerfield Beach is working with the Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce to
develop an Economic Development Strategy for the City.
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the
Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth.
The ideals and goals of the Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce are attached as Appendix Q. and the City
will be working with the Chamber to assist in these goals. The City is working with HUD and the SBA to
develop a strategy for mix-use development along the Dixie Corridor from Hillsboro Boulevard to SW 15th
Street. Also, the City will work with Habitat for Humanity, BAND and other housing organizations to
coordinate infill housing development throughout the city.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? ( include a definition
of "concentration")
Housing problems generally subside with income, so it is reasonable to assume that low-income areas have a
greater number of households with housing problems.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are
concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
There are areas where racial or ethnic minorities are concentrated. For the purposes of this plan an “Area of
Minority Concentration” is defined as 30% or greater of the overall population of a particular Census Tract.
The Census Tracts of Minority Concentration are; 102.00, 103.04, 103.05, 103.06, 103.07, 104.03, 104.05,
107.01 and 107.02 The Census Tracts with the highest percentage Black/African Americans are 107.02, 103.07
and 103.04. The Census Tracts with the highest percentage of Hispanics are 104.05 and 107.02. The American
Indian/Alaskan Native and Asian populations are evenly spread throughout the City. The Census Tract with the
highest population count of Asians is 106.12. The Census Tract with the highest population count of American
Indian/Alaskan Native is 107.02.
For the purposes of this plan low-income concentration is 51% or greater of a particular Block Group. The
areas of low-income concentration are all of those cited above.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
The areas of Minority Concentration generally are also low-income Areas. However, housing tenure varies
equivalent to the general population.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?
The City of Deerfield Beach has community centers throughout the city including areas of minority
concentration. These centers provide meeting spaces, recreational opportunities and may have structured
after-school programs.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
City operated community centers are located in low-income areas and areas of minority federal funding. Also,
these areas have (few) single family lots that are comparatively inexpensive and can be used to provide
affordable homeownership opportunities.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
The staff used the 200-2013 CHAS data supported by 2013 American Community Survey 1-Year estimate data
where necessary to determine the needs going forward for the Strategic Plan. The purpose of the plan is to set
priorities for funding activities for the next five years or until amended. The major point of concern used in the
determination of priorities is the housing cost burden challenge facing low and moderate income residents.
Staff estimates that 40% of the city of Deerfield Beach households cost burdened (paying more than 35% of
household income towards housing cost). Low and moderate income households have a much greater chance
of living in a cost burdened condition, 50% of families whose household income is between 0-80% HAMFI
annually are cost burdened as opposed to 30% of families whose annual household income is 80% or higher..
Cost burdened homeowners are more likely to struggle with housing repair. The Community Housing
Assessment estimates that 14,230 units within the City of Deerfield Beach lack complete plumbing or kitchen
facilities. In addition, 25,724 of the owner occupied housing units in the city were built from 1950-1979. The
relative age of the housing stock housing deterioration due to aging becomes a large expense for cost
burdened low and moderate income households.
Cost Burdened renters are less likely to be able to save towards homeownership. More than half of renterhouseholds, 5,520, live in a cost burdened situation.
To address housing repair and the reduction of cost burdened families, the Strategy Plan includes Housing
Rehabilitation, Acquisition, Homeowner Assistance and Tenant-Based Rental Assistance as high priorities.
However, it is important to note that Cost Burden has historically been a problem for the residents. During a sharp
decline in housing values from 2007-2011 ($504,600 - $298,000), the median monthly owner cost for City of Deerfield
Beach residents remained $1,447. This means that household income must be addressed. Earning power of Deerfield
Beach is complicit in most housing problems and generally adversely affects family socio-economic growth. According to
the Homeless in Broward County 2013 Point-in-time Count Report the top reason for homelessness is
“Employment/Financial” followed by “Foreclosure”.
To address household earning power, Job Training, Economic Development and Education are high priorities in the
Strategic Plan.

Market Characteristics that will influence
the use of funds available for housing type
5,520 renter-occupied households in the City of Deerfield Beach are cost burdened.
In each of the special needs categories affordable and supportive housing is one of the
identified needs.
A majority, 25,724, of the City of Deerfield units were built between 1950 and 1979. Many of
the units show signs of deterioration due to aging. To respond the DBHA has operated Rental
Rehabilitation Programs in the past. There was very little interest from landlords in the
program. Conversely, DBHA has been very successful when funding the construction of new
affordable rentals which are in great demand from the residents.
A little less than half, 8,390, of the owner occupied units have a condition of cost burden,
overcrowding or lacks complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. Also, 25,724 of the City of
Deerfield Beach units were built between 1950 and 1979. Finally, the City of Deerfield Beach
has operated a Housing Rehabilitation program in the past and wants to increase its capability
to provide this assistance to homeowners of Deerfield Beach. The waiting list to participate in
the City of Hollywood Housing Rehabilitation program is 100 persons.
The City participated in the purchase of foreclosed properties within the City of Deerfield
Beach. Using Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds (NSP-1 and NSP-3), the City has
partnered with the Broward Alliance for Neighborhood Development (BAND) to purchase,
rehabilitate and resale foreclosed properties to NSP eligible purchasers. The First-time
Homebuyers Program has been administered with both SHIP and CDBG funds in the past. Due
to the demand in the City, the program will expand to include the use of HOME funds.

residents by:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Providing affordable housing through home repair programs.
Provide affordable housing through purchase assistance programs.
Provide affordable senior transportation to senior citizens
Provide safe and healthy neighborhoods to live in through infrastructure improvements.
Provide GED preparation; STEM and computer training to increase the probability of employment.
Provide economic development through business assistance programs to businesses.
Provide economic development through in-fill housing and mix-use development with for-profit and
non-profit organizations.
Provide partnership opportunities with the Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce and its partners to
increase workforce training for city residents.
How is the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable
housing plan?
Cost Burden continues to be a top housing problem for the City of Deerfield Beach households. Increasing the
employment opportunities for Deerfield Beach residents in tandem with expanding affordable housing opportunities can
address the Cost Burden problem. In addition, much of the Deerfield Beach Housing problems are as a result of the age
of the housing stock. Reducing homeowner Cost Burden increases the probability of timely home maintenance repairs.
