GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION:
Site Address: 1205 Lake Street, Fort Worth, TX 76102
Client Beneficiary Location: Citywide
PROGRAM GOALS:
REACH's goal under this project is to increase the independent living status of low income individuals with
mobility impairments by providing accessibility modifications with the construction of a ramp, the installation
of grab bars and/or widening or doorways for 30 to 35 individuals at their place of residence.
PROGRAM OB.TECTIVESo
The primary objective of this project is to provide the opportunity for individuals with mobility impairments to
remain productive citizens with the aid of a ramp, installation of grab bars and/or widening or doorways at their
home, which are often the most basic accessibility requirements individuals need to maintain their
independence in a residential setting. These accessibility features aid in preventing injury to the individual
when entering/exiting the home, performing basic daily care needs and maneuvering through their home.
These accessibility features also make it easier for family members, friends, health care workers, and
transportation providers to assist the individual. A ramp enables them to come and go as they choose so that
they can go to work, attend religious services, visit the doctor, go grocery shopping, etc. Through this project
EACH intends to assist these individuals in becoming less dependent on others in the community, give them
the opportunity to get out and participate in community life and improve their physical and mental well being.

Social and Housing Services for Program Year 2009-2010 Funded with Grant Funds from
the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Under its Community
Development Block Grant, Emergency Shelter Grant and Housing Opportunities for
Persons with AIDS Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute contracts for federal grant funds for
Program Year 2009-2010 for Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Shelter Grant and
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS grant funds, contingent upon receipt of adequate
funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development;
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to extend or renew the contracts for up to one year if
an agency requests an extension and such extension is necessary for completion of the program;
and
3. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend the contracts, if necessary, to achieve
program goals, provided any amendment is wn the scope of the program and in compliance with
all applicable laws and regulations governing the use of federal grant funds.
DISCUSSION:
On April 15, 2009, the City's Action Plan for use of federal grant funds under the Community
Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME),
Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS Program
(HOPWA) (M&C G-16513) was submitted to the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). On May 1, 2009, HUD requested a revised Action Plan that provided more
detail on the programs to be undertaken. The City's revised Action Plan (M&C G-16600) was
submitted to HUD on June 23, 2009, and approved on June 27, 2009.
The revised Action Plan allocated $1,043,688.00 in CDBG funds to public services activities including
child care, youth and senior services and other housing related services that benefit primarily low and
moderate income or disabled and disadvantaged populations. It also allocated $865,754.00 in
HOPWA funds to non-profit organizations providing housing and supportive services to persons with
AIDS and awarded $279,757.00 in ESG funds to homeless services providers and local emergency
shelters. The City's Community Development Council reviewed grant fund proposals and heard
presentations in public meetings and recommended grant awards as part of the Action Plan
development process. Contracts will be executed with the agencies listed below and in accordance
with HUD recommendation, interdepartmental letters of agreement executed by the respective
department heads will be used to govern all grant funded activities implemented by City departments.
All contracts and interdepartmental letters of agreement will authorize reimbursement of eligible costs

as of their initial dates.
In order to approve the revised Action Plan, HUD required that the eight programs listed below have
a contract term of 11 months from July 1, 2009, to May 31, 2010, for their full grant award. Each
agency or department was notified of the shortened contract period and agreed with the adjustment.
