NO.: CONTRACTS
CODE; C TYPE: NON- PUBLIC CONSENT HEARING: NO
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Agreements with Listed Public Service Agencies in an Amount Up
to $1,758,668.00 for an Initial Six-Month Term for the Continuation of Directions Home
Initiatives and Authorize Renewal Options for Fiscal Year 2020 in a Combined Amount
Up to $3,930,156.00 (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute agreements with agencies listed below in a
combined amount up to $1,758,668.00 for a term commencing April 1, 2019 and terminating September 30,
2019 for the continuation of Directions Home initiatives;
2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to renew the agreements for Fiscal Year 2020 with the
agencies listed below for up to one year in a combined amount up to $3,930,156.00 for the continuation of
Directions Home initiatives in order to align Directions Home program year with the City's fiscal year;
3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to amend the agreements if necessary to achieve program-
goals provided that the amendment is within the scope of the program and in compliance with City policies
and applicable laws and regulations.
DISCUSSION:
On June 17, 2008, the City adopted Directions Home, the City's plan to make homelessness rare, short-
term and nonrecurring (Resolution No. 3628-06-2008). The United Way of Tarrant County (United Way) has
served as the fiscal and grant-making agent for public and private funds in support of Directions Home for
the previous 10 years. This year, there are two changes regarding the expenditure of Directions Home's
funds. The City will now serve as the fiscal and grant-making agent due to United Way's capacity issues,
and the Directions Horne April to March program year will be changed to align with the City's Fiscal Year
beginning October 1, 2019.
Because the initial term of the agreements is six months, only a portion (up to $1,758,668.00) of the Fiscal
Year 2019 (FYI 9) Directions Home budget will actually be expended during FYI 9. Residual funds from
FY2019 will be addressed during the FY2020 (FY20) budget development. For FY20, the total amount for
the renewals will be up to $3,930,156.00. This amount includes the anticipated budget for Directions Home
for FY20 as well as the unspent funds from FYI 9. The exact amount of the renewals will be determined at
the beginning of FY20 when the actual budget is known. This one-time structure will allow Directions Home
to align with the City's Fiscal Year while continuing to further its program goals without disrupting necessary
services. The rollover of funding caused by this structure will allow Directions Home to support one-time
innovative programs to reduce family/childhood homelessness. The Directions Home contract cycle will be
in line with the City's Fiscal Year beginning in Fiscal Year 2021.
Directions Home staff issued a Request for Proposals through the City's Purchasing Division on February 6,
2019. The solicitation was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram am on February 6, 13, 20, and 27, The
City closed the RFP on February 28, 2019. In order to align with the City's Fiscal Year, the Directions Home
RFP included funding for an initial six-month term, April 1 - September 30 of 2019 (Initial Term), with a
renewal of up to a year at the City's discretion.

Because the exact amount of funding for FY20 cannot be determined at this time, the amounts included for
FY20 are estimates based on current funding and the anticipated Directions Home budget for FY20. In the
event that Directions Home funding in FY20 is less than anticipated, the funding included for the listed
agencies for FY20 will remain the same except for funding for reducing family and childhood homelessness
(The Presbyterian Night Shelter of Tarrant County, Inc) and funding for direct client services (Tarrant County
Homeless Coalition), which will be decreased to the extent necessary to match actual available funding. This
M&C authorizes the City Manager or his designee to approve the renewal amounts up to the amounts listed
above, including any decreases for the specified agencies necessary to bring the total renewal amounts in
fine with actual FY20 funding. Agencies impacted by a decrease in funding will be notified as soon as
practicable.
Directions Horne services and programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATIONICERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget as appropriated, of
the General Fund and that prior to an expenditure being made; the City Manager's Office has the
responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
