States Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)from the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG), HOME Investment
Partnerships Program(HOME),Emergency Solutions Grant(ESG),and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS(HOPWA)grant programs.

to benefit low-and moderate-income persons in Fort Worth. ESG funds primarily benefit homeless persons,and HOPWA funds primarily benefit
low-and moderate-income persons with HIV/AIDS.
Staff developed initial recommendations for the allocation of the estimated funding from HUD based on prior years'funding levels. Two public
hearings were held on April 14,2021 and May 12,2021 to provide citizens the opportunity to participate in the development of the Annual Action
Plan. Recommendations for award amounts were considered and adopted by the Community Development Council on May 12,2021. These
funding recommendations were presented in City Council Work Session on June 22,2021.
A 30-day public comment period was held from July 1,2021 to July 30,2021. Notice of this public comment period was published in the Wise
County Messenger and Glen Rose Reporter on June 25,2021;in the Cleburne Times-Review,Hood County News,and Weatherford Democrat
on June 26,2021;in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on June 27,2021;and in La Vida News on July 1,2021.
