SUBJECT EXTENSION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CONTRACT WITH
NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES OF FORT WORTH, INC.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to extend the Year XXVI Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
(City Secretary Contract No. 26123) with Neighborhood Housing Services of Fort Worth, Inc. (NHS)
for the operation of its housing assistance programs for low and moderate income persons; and
2. Authorize the contract performance period to begin on June 1, 2001 and end on December 31,
2001; and
3. Authorize extension of the contract for up to one year, if NHS requests a further extension; and
4. Authorize amendment of the contract, if necessary, to achieve project goals provided that the
amendment is within the scope of the project and in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.
DISCUSSION:
On May 5, 2000 (M&C C-17991), the City Council approved providing $55,958.00 in Year XXVI CDBG
funds for NHS, a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization designed to strengthen and revitalize Fort Worth
neighborhoods and communities. NHS has targeted three City neighborhoods for additional, intense,
and concentrated services and programs which will reverse patterns of disinvestment and
neighborhood deterioration, and, stabilize housing values in those neighborhoods. The three
neighborhoods are Polytechnic Heights, the near Northside, and Riverside.
The aim of NHS is to assist in the re-establishment of these target neighborhoods as healthy, self-
sustaining neighborhoods with normal investment and reinvestment patterns. This process of
neighborhood reinvestment is occurring through a partnership of residents, business leaders, local
government, and a variety of federal and private capital sources.
NHS' current City CDBG contract provides administrative support on a fee for services basis to assist
low and moderate income homebuyers with homeownership opportunities, and homeowners with home
improvement activities. In addition, NHS administers revolving loan programs in its near Northside and
Polyi;echnic-Heights target neighborhoods.
NHS is requesting a contract extension until December 31, 2001, to continue to utilize the remaining
operating funds available under this contract, which by the end of May 2001 will be approximately
$17,000 to help offset a projected administrative shortfall for its Fiscal Year October 1, 2000, to
September 31, 2001.

SUBJECT EXTENSION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CONTRACT WITH
NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES OF FORT WORTH, INC.
As of March 31, 2001, NHS has spent $32,132.00 of the $55,958.00. The current CDBG contract
expired May 31, 2001. While NHS has additional funding commitments from other private and public
sources forthcoming, they will not be available until after September 2001. In past years, NHS has
been included in the City's CDBG budget for the period June 1st through May 31st, however, due to
turnover in key NHS staff positions, NHS did not submit a proposal for funding this grant year.
The approval of this request will allow NHS to continue to be a positive change agent in its target
neighborhoods, and to assist the City as one of its nonprofit partners in meeting their mutual goal of
revitalizing central City neighborhoods.
