$246,806.00 in CARES Act Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA-
CV) funds, all subject to receipt of such funds.
DISCUSSION:
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law on March 27,
2020 to respond to the many impacts of the COVID-19 public health emergency. The CARES Act
includes provisions to help local governments prevent, prepare for and respond to the coronavirus,
including providing for additional allocations of formula grant funds under the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing for Persons with AIDS
(HOPWA) programs administrated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). The City was notified on April 9, 2020 of awards of $4,360,291.00 in CDBG-CV funds,
$2,202,959.00 in ESG-CV funds, and $246,806.00 in HOPWA-CV funds. All of these funds must be
used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus.
In order to allow local governments to act quickly to use the funds, the CARES Act also provides for
certain waivers of federal statutes and regulations governing these programs, including a waiver of the
customary 30-day public comment period for Substantial Amendments to the Consolidated Plan and
Action Plan and a waiver of the standard 15\% limitation on public services activities for the CDBG
program. The CARES Act also instructed HUD to make additional awards of further CDBG-CV and
ESG-CV funds to state and local governments based on factors such as economic and housing market
disruption resulting from coronavirus, risk of transmission of the illness, number of coronavirus cases,
and rates of homelessness. It is anticipated that the second allocation of ESG-CV funds for local
governments will be announced by June 30, 2020, and the second allocation of CDBG-CV funds will
be announced later this year.
To receive the iDib8| award of CARES Act funds from HUD, the City must revise its Citizen Participation
P|2D to allow for 8 five-day public comment period for CARES Act related acMvitieS, and must prepare
and submit a SUbEd@n1io| Amendment to its 2019-20 Action P|8D which tells how the C[]BCS-CV ESG-
CV, and H(]P\8A\-[|y funds will be used. The proposed Citizen Participation Plan Amendment is
attached tothis &4&C.
On April 29, 2020, the Community Development Council (CDC) as the City's advisory body for the use
of CDBG, ESG and HOPWA funds, approved a recommendation that the City's Citizen Participation
Plan be revised to authorize a five-day public comment period for Substantial Amendments related to
the Coronavirus response. The CDC also approved a Substantial Amendment Action Plan for CARES
Act grant funds based on the following principles:
Addressing needs which HUD grant funds are uniquely qualified to meet and that other funding
sources cannot serve (housing).
Addressing the most urgent needs (food, shelter) and the needs of populations most sensitive to
C(]VID-19/e|dar|y\.
Reliance on existing allocation processes and existing nonprofit partners to increase the speed and
simplicity ofservice delivery and toreduce administrative challenges and compliance concerns.
Consistency with local priority needs and goals previously established in the C|ty's 2018-3022
Consolidated Plan.
Using these principles, three key activities were approved by the CDC for CARES Act funds:
emergency rental @ssist8Due, services for the a|der|}\ and employment -related services. Emergency
rental assistance activities address both the Consolidated P|@O goals for affordable housing and
homeless services and may include homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing for persons
already homeless. Services for the elderly address the Consolidated Fn|aM goals for aging in place.
Employment -related services address the Consolidated Plan goal for poverty reduction.
The CDC also approved a two-tier process for allocation ofthese CARES Act funds. Tier One funds
totaling $2,546,754.00 are recommended to be awarded directly to agencies for the activities listed in
the Tables below 0o that services can begin 88 quickly 88 possible. Tier Two funds totaling
$2.924.143.00 ($457.884.00 in ES{3-CV and $2.486.478.00 in CC)BG-CV) will be awarded for the
three above -listed priority activities through a competitive Request for Proposal process that identifies
additional service -delivery partners by the end of May, for CDC review and approval in early June, and
subsequent City Council approval.
A 5-day publicpublic
comment period was published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram, posted on the City's website, and
distributed through the City News and other ongoing communications activities of the City Community
Engagement Office. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services
Department in accordance with federal regulations.
A summary of funding recommendations approved by the CDC is provided below. A spreadsheet of
funding recommendations is also attached. This Substantial Amendment Action Plan for use of CARES
Act funds under the CDBG-CV, ESG-CV, and HOPWA-CV programs will be submitted to HUD following
City Council approval.
Indirect costs are not being charged to these grants, as the Neighborhood Services Department
Indirect Cost rate was zero inthe City'smost recent Cost Allocation Plan.

DISCUSSION:
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 to
respond to the many impacts of the COVID-19 public health emergency. The CARES Act includes provisions
to help local governments prevent, prepare for and respond to the Coronavirus, including providing for
additional allocations of formula grant funds under the Community Development Block Grant and Emergency
Solutions Grant programs. The City was notified on April 9, 2020 of the award, consisting of $4,360,290.00
in CDBG-CV funds and $2,202,929.00 in ESG-CV funds.. All funds must be used to prevent, prepare for,
and respond to the coronavirus.
On May 19,2020, City Council approved a Substantial Amendment to the City's 2019-20 Action Plan for U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant funds stating how these CARES Act grant
funds were to be used, and amended the City's Citizen Participation Plan to reduce public comment periods
for CARES Act funds from 30 days to five days as authorized by the CARES Act (M&C 20-0330). This 5-day
public comment period was held from May 3, 2020 to May 9, 2020. Notice of this public comment period
was published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram, posted on the City's website, and distributed through the City
Community Engagement Office. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services
Department in accordance with federal regulations.
The Substantial Amendment to the Action Plan for CARES Act funds was based on the following guiding
principles as approved on April 29, 2020 by the Community Development Council (CDC):
Addressing needs which HUD grant funds are uniquely qualified to serve and that other funding sources
cannot serve (housing).
Addressing the most urgent needs (food, shelter) and the needs of populations most sensitive to the
Coronavirus (elderly).
Reliance on existing allocation processes and existing nonprofit partners to increase the speed and
simplicity of service delivery and to reduce administrative challenges and compliance concerns.
Consistency with local priority needs and goals previously established in the City's 2018-2020
Consolidated Plan.
Using these principles, three key activities were approved by the CDC for the use of CARES Act funds:
emergency rental assistance, services for the elderly, and employment related services. Emergency rental
assistance activities address both the affordable housing and homeless services Consolidated Plan goals
and may include homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing for persons already homeless. All
emergency rental assistance programs funded with CARES Act funds will provide up to three months rental
payments for income eligible applicants, and will require tenants pay no more than 30 percent of their
income towards their rent. Services for the elderly address the Aging in Place Consolidated Plan
goal. Employment -related services address the Poverty Reduction Consolidated Plan goal.
The CDC also approved a two-tier process for allocation of these HUD CARES Act funds. Tier One funds
totaling $2,546,754.00 were awarded to activities and agencies through M&C 20-0330 (which also
appropriated the entire award of $6,810,056.00). Tier Two funds totaling $2,924,143.00 ($457,664.00 in
ESG-CV and $2,466,479.00 in CDBG-CV) were to be allocated through a competitive Request for
Proposal (RFP) with the goal of identifying additional service delivery partners by the end of May. The
responses to the Tier Two RFP were received on May 25, 2020. The CDC reviewed the proposals and
approved recommendations for additional CARES Act funding awards on June 3, 2020.
As authorized by the CARES Act, for all CDBG-CV, ESG-CV, and HOPWA-CV contracts, the Effective Date
for reimbursement of eligible costs will be March 13, 2020, the date of the declaration of national
emergency due to COVID-19, provided such costs have been documented to have been incurred to
prevent, prepare for, or respond to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
A summary of these Tier Two funding recommendations approved by the CDC is provided below. A
spreadsheet of funding recommendations is also attached.
