DISCUSSION: The City's 2017-2018 Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development activities and proposed expenditures for the program year beginning October 1, 2017 and ending September 30, 2018 for use of federal grant funds totaling $10,778,461.00 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, the primary purpose of which 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 based on prior years' funding levels. A public hearing was held on April 19, 2017 to provide citizens the opportunity to participate in the development of the Action Plan. The Staff recommendations for award amounts were presented to the Housing and Neighborhood Services Committee on May 6, 2017 and were adopted by the Community Development Council (CDC) on May 10, 2017. Following the publication of final funding amounts for FY2017-18 from HUD on June 14, 2017, Staff recommendations were updated to reflect the actual grant amounts and these revised recommendations were forwarded to the CDC and presented to the City Council through an Informal Report at the City Council Work Session on June 20, 2017. Notice of a 30 day public comment period from June 30, 2017 to July 31, 2017 was published in the Fort Worth Star-Teleqram on June 25, 2017, in La Estrella on June 27, 2017, and in La Vida News: The Black Voice on June 29, 2017. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in accordance with federal regulations.
