The terms outlined in Title VI of the PRWORA of 1996 for the Child Care Development Program permits the
use of local funds allocated for child care services, as a match to access additional federal funds and
provide additional child care services.
For the purpose of this program, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are considered the
"local funds". The amounts requested are determined by a formula based on CDBG funds being spent on
At-Risk Child Care during the period October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006. On May 10, 2005,
(M&C C-20722) the City Council authorized the execution of contracts with the service providers for child

care from June 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006. The extension of these contracts will allow the use of CDBG
funds as local funding to cover the period from June 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006.
The City will participate in this joint transfer agreement in collaboration with TWC in order to access
$402,531.00 in additional child care funding for the contacted agencies providing child care services on
behalf of the City. In this agreement, the child care providers receive 100% reimbursement of services
rendered to At-Risk eligible children from the Child Care Management System (CCMS), not to exceed
$402,531.00.
In this joint transfer agreement with the state, the City will not be the recipient of any federal funds from the
state. The City will use a portion of each child care provider's current CDBG funding to provide the local
match. Each agency is responsible for the following amounts of the local share:
YWCA of Fort Worth and Tarrant County in an amount not to exceed $48,279.25;
Clayton YES in an amount not to exceed $20,039.10;
