DISCUSSION:
On November 16, 2010, City Council approved M&C L-15099 authorizing the sale of City owned
commercial property located at 2909 Mitchell to the Fort Worth Northside Community Health Center, Inc.
now known as the North Texas Area Community Health Center, Inc. (NTACHC) in the amount of
$67,600.00. NTACHC shall use the property for the development of a Community Health Center to
provide the benefit of healthcare services to the low and moderate income persons in the area.
NTACHC presently operates two clinics within City of Fort Worth, the Albert Galvan Health Clinic located
at 2106 North Main Street and the Southeast Community Health Center currently located at 3212 Miller

Avenue. These clinics provide high quality, low cost health care services to the communities in the
Northside and Southside of Fort Worth. NTACHC was awarded a grant provided by the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA) to develop the Southeast Community Health Center. This grant is
part of the new American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) as part of HRSA's Community Health
Centers program. The clinic will employ approximately 20 full time employees and once it's fully
operational, will be able to serve a total of 16,600 patient visits per year.
Pursuant to federal regulations, the proceeds of the sale to NTACHC received by the City in the amount of
$67,505.00 plus the option fee received from NTACHC in the amount of $100.00 are considered program
income. Program income must be expended by the City prior to the expenditure of any other CDBG funds.
Staff recommends a reallocation of up to $67,605.00 of CDBG program income funds from 2009-2010
Action Plan for the renovation of the Southside Community Health Center to be located at 2909 Mitchell
Boulevard. A public comment period concerning the reallocation of these funds was held from January 11,
2011 to February 11, 2011. Any comments are maintained by the Housing and Economic Development
Department in accordance with federal regulations.
The expenditure of the CDBG funds is conditioned upon the satisfactory completion of the environmental
review per 24 CFR Part 58 and the authorization to use grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD).
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
