The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) has notified the City to use the prior
year's grant award and contract amount as a planning figure for the 2012 Community Services Block
Grant (CSBG) program. The total 2011 contract amount was $1,339,338.00. City Staff projects an
increase in funding resulting in an estimated grant award of $1,500,000.00 for this program in 2012.
CSBG provides programs and services to assist low income persons with case management, emergency
assistance, outreach and certification for energy assistance, information and referral, and holiday
assistance as well as services to provide clients with transportation to services for medical, educational,
employment, and other needs. The Community Action Partners (CAP) in the Parks and Community
Services Department serves as the designated Community Action Agency for all of Tarrant County in
accordance with federal law and, as such, administers CSBG- funded programs. Ten neighborhood CAP
offices will be utilized to deliver program services.
Interim financing is necessary to provide transition from one grant funding period to the next. No matching
funds are required from the City for the CSBG program.
This program services ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS and the rest of Tarrant County.
