We may do so regardless of notations on checks or money orders and regardless of when the obligations arose. All sums other than Rent and late fees are due upon our demand.

Ifyour apartment is individually metered and you change your retail electric provider, you must give us written notice.

Even if not required, we urge you to obtain your own insurance for losses due to theft, fire, flood, water, pipe leaks and similar occurrences. Most renter's insurance policies don't cover losses due to a flood. Reletting and Early Lease Termination. This Lease may not be ter- minated early except as provided in this Lease. 7.1. Reletting Charge. You'll be liable for a reletting charge as listed in Lease Details, (not to exceed 85%ofthe highest monthly Rent during the Lease term) if you: (A) fail to move in, or fail to give written move -out notice as required in Par. 25; (B) move out without paying Rent in full for the entire Lease term or renewal period; (C) move out at our demand because of your default; or (D) arejudicially evicted. The reletting charge is not a termination, cancellation or buyout fee and does not release you from your obligations under this Lease, including liability for future or past -due Rent, charges for damages or other sums due. The reletting charge is a liquidated amount covering only part of our damages —for our time, effort, and expense in finding and processing a replacement resident. These damages are uncertain and hard to ascertain —particularly those relating to inconvenience, paperwork, advertising, showing apartments, utilities for showing, checking pros- pects, overhead, marketing costs, and locator -service fees. You agree that the reletting charge is a reasonable estimate of our damages and that the charge is due whether or not our reletting attempts succeed. 7.2. Early Lease Termination Procedures. In addition to your termination rights referred to in 7.3 or 8.1 below, ifthis provision applies under Lease Details, you may terminate the Lease priorto the end ofthe Lease term ifall ofthe following occur: (a) as outlined in Lease Details, you give us written notice of early termination, pay the early termination fee and specify the date by which you'll move out; (b) you are not in default at any time and do not hold over, and (c) you repay all rent concessions, credits or discounts you received during the Lease term. If you are in default, the Lease remedies apply. 7.3. Special Termination Rights. You mayhave the right under Texas law to terminate the Lease early in certain situations involving military deployment or transfer, family violence, certain sexual offenses, stalking or death ofa sole resident.

This Lease will remain in force subject to (1) abatement of Rent on a daily basis during delay, and (2) your right to terminate the Lease in writing as set forth below. Rent abatement and Lease termination do not apply if the delay is for cleaning or re- pairs that don't prevent you from moving into the apartment. 8.1. Termination. If we give written notice to you ofa delay in occupancy when or after the Lease begins, you may termi- nate the Lease within 3 days after you receive written notice. If we give you written notice before the date the Lease begins and the notice states that a construction or other delay is expected and that the apartment will be ready for you to occupy on a specific date, you may terminate the Lease within 7 days after receiving written notice. After proper termination, you are entitled only to refund of any deposit(s) and any Rent you paid. Apartment Lease Contract 02022, Texas Apartment Association, Inc. Page 2 of 6 9.

DISCUSSION: The City of Fort Worth's (City's) 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan assesses community and affordable housing needs and sets strategic priorities and goals for use of federal grants funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a five-year period. These priorities and goals are to be addressed with Annual Action Plans that summarize the major housing and community development activities and proposed expenditures for each of the five years. These priorities and goals were developed to be consistent with strategies and initiatives previously adopted by the City Council, as well as through an assessment of community needs. This included Citywide public meetings conducted by JQuad Planning Group, the consultant contracted to prepare the Consolidated Plan in collaboration with the Neighborhood Services Department staff. The recommended Consolidated Plan priorities and goals for use of HUD grant funds over the next five years are summarized below. PRIORITY NEED I GOAL (Promote Affordable Housing (Increase neighborhood stability through homeownership assistance; for Renters and Owners Fair Housing efforts, and supportive services for renters and owners l Housing Preservation and Preserve and expand the supply of quality affordable housing Rehabilitation throughout the City Neighborhood Improvement nhance neighborhood development and revitalization throughout and Revitalization the City Economic Empowerment Support programs and services providing employment training and and Financial Resilience career readiness programs that promote self-sufficiency and household stability Support programs and services to prepare children and youth for Children and Youth Services success through educational, mentoring, training and related programs Support programs and services for older adults to access resources Aging In Place needed to age in their homes, while maintaining both their independence and quality of life ccessibility Improvements Improve accessibility in public facilities and housing, including Ilarchitectural barrier removal Homelessness Prevention Provide housing and support services for persons experiencing and and Special Needs Support at -risk of experiencing homelessness; support efforts to achieve permanent housing (Healthy Living and Wellness ��health Support programs and services to improve the mental and physical of low -to moderate -income Fort Worth families The City's 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development activities and proposed expenditures for the program year beginning October 1, 2023 and ending September 30, 2024 for use of federal grant funds totaling $13,452,621.00 from the United 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 httn://anns.cfwnet.ori2/counci1 racket/me review. asp?ID=31258&councildate=8/8/2023 8/17/2023 M&C Review Page 3 of 7 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs. It also summarizes the use of program income resulting from activities using prior years' CDBG and HOME funds, the primary purpose of which is to benefit low -and moderate -income persons in Fort Worth. ESG funds primarily benefit persons experiencing homelessness, and HOPWA funds primarily benefit low -and moderate -income persons with HIV/AIDS. A Request for Proposals from social service agencies and nonprofit organizations seeking grant funding was published on February 1, 2023. All proposals were received on March 15, 2023. Staff reviewed all proposals and developed recommendations for the allocation of estimated funding from HUD based on the capacity of applicant organizations, grant experience, fiscal stability, and compliance with applicable federal regulations. One public hearing was held on April 12, 2023 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 10, 2023. These funding recommendations were presented in City Council Work Session on August 1, 2023. A 30-day public comment period was held from June 30, 2023 to July 31, 2023. Notice of this public comment period was published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on June 29, 2023; in the Cleburne Times Review on July 6; in the Weatherford Democrat on July 8; and in La Vida News on July 13. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in accordance with federal regulations. The City held two public hearings as a part of the HUD required citizen participation process. The first public hearing was held by staff on July 12, 2023, and the second public hearing is scheduled for the City Council on August 8, 2023. A summary of staffs final funding recommendations is provided below in Tables 1,2, and 3. A Powerpoint presentation listing funding recommendations is also attached. The 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD by August 15, 2023. Indirect costs totaling approximately $393,106.92 could be charged to these grants, as the Neighborhood Services Department indirect cost rate is 28.10\% in the City's most recent Cost Allocation Plan. A waiver of these costs is requested to allow allocation of these funds to further support the programs and services to assist low -to -moderate income citizens.

Approval of this M&C authorizes an additional increase of annual funding from $2,000,000.00 to $2,500,000.00. This will require an increase in the expenditure authority for the PRP and the contracting authority for PRP agreements, resulting in an annual increase of $500,000.00. A total five year (Fiscal Years 2023-2027) contract authority of $46,858,546.53 for PRP is necessary to facilitate the increase in funding from CDBG.

Entitlement grants provide funds to agencies based on a formula, prescribed in legislation or regulation, rather than based on review. These specific grants are allocated to the City of Fort Worth based on population size and per capita income each year. The grants have been consistently awarded to the City since 1974 with the inception of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) through the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The Emergency Shelter (renamed Solutions) Grant (ESG) was authorized in 1987 through the McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act. The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program were authorized in 1990 through the Cranston -Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. With these grants, administrative and program delivery allocations support approximately 72 FTE positions in the Neighborhood Services Department, which is funded nearly 70\% with various grants including these entitlement grants. Positions funded with HUD Entitlement grants are subject to grant availability. In the event of a grant award being decreased or eliminated, Neighborhood Services Department would review programs and services funded by the grants and determine a level of service and staffing that aligns with the available funding. Alternatives to consider may include staff and program reductions or eliminations. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Neighborhood Services Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Neighborhood Services Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
