suB;;cT] COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION (CHDO) PROJECT FUNDING
Jurisdictions (PJs), such as the City of Fort Worth, to work with community-based, non-profit
housing organizations by designating a percentage of their HOME funds for activities which are
eligible under the Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) Program. CHDOs are
certified by PJs according to specific eligibility criteria, and preliminary decisions and
commitments of HOME funds must be made according to an established timetable.
To ensure this partnership, a minimum 15% of a PJ's HOME funds must be set aside to be used
for CHDO projects, and an additional 5% set aside may be allocated to funded CHDOs for
administration costs. For the City of Fort Worth, $376,050-00 is set aside for qualified projects
out of the 1992 HOME allocation of $2,507,000.00. An additional $125,349.00 is
recommended for the administrative set aside.
The City recently requested project proposals from the four currently certified CHDOs. Four'
proposals were received, one which was, subsequently, withdrawn.
Funding of the three CHDOs is recommended as follows:
