DISCUSSION: The City's 2016-2017 Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development activities and proposed expenditures for the program year beginning October 1, 2016 and ending September 30, 2017 for use of federal grant funds totaling $10,094,608.00 from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and 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, for which the primary purpose is to benefit low and moderate income City of Fort Worth residents. 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, which were adopted by the Community Development Council (CDC) on May 11, 2016 and were presented to the Housing & Neighborhood Services Committee on May 3, 2016 and to the City Council at the Pre-Council meeting on June 7, 2016. After these presentations, Staff developed revised recommendations which were to be presented to the CDC at its meeting on July 13, 2016, but the meeting was not held due to the lack of a quorum. A full explanation of revisions, including a comparison of the initial recommendations to the revised recommendations, are set forth in the informal report presented to the City Council on August 2, 2016. Notice of a 30-day public comment period from July 1, 2016 to August 1, 2016 was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on June 30, 2016. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in accordance with federal regulations. The City is required to hold two public hearings as part of the HUD-required citizen participation process. Initially, the first public hearing was scheduled to be held at the CDC meeting on July 13, 2016 with a second public hearing scheduled for August 2, 2016 at the City Council meeting. Because the CDC was unable to meet on July 13, 2016, these dates were amended to reflect the first public hearing at the City Council meeting on August 2, 2016 with the second public hearing to be held at the City Council meeting on August 9, 2016. Due to the revised hearing dates, the public comment period was extended until August 8, 2016 and a notice of public hearings and extension of public comment period was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on July 17, 2016. A summary of the Staffs final funding recommendations is provided below and in Tables 1, 2 and 3. Additionally, a spreadsheet of all specific funding recommendations is attached.
