DISCUSSION:
Since October 1992, the TDHCA has provided funds annually to the City of Fort Worth through the state's
authorization process entitled Letters of Notification (LON). The LON indicates the amount of funds the City
will receive for the uncoming year. For the last several years, TDHCA has notified the City to use the prior
year's contract amount as a planning figure pending the contract execution. In September 2003, TDHCA
notified the City that the FY2003 contract amount had increased from $1,029,100 to $1,108,933.
In November 2002, the City received a $3,876 Incentive Award, increasing the FY2002 award from
$1,116,289 to $1,120,165.
In August 2003, the City received a $4,080 Incentive Award. This amount in addition to the contract amount
brings the total FY2003 award to $1,113,013.
This increase will enable the City to continue programs and services aimed at assisting low-income persons
through case management, emergency assistance, outreach and certification for energy assistance and
information and referral, as well as providing transportation services to clients to meet medical, educational,
employment and other needs. Nine neighborhood centers will be utilized to deliver program services.
This program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
