The State of Texas provides grant funding for the Homeless Housing and Services Program (HHSP)

with a population of 285,500 or greater, including the City of Fort Worth.
The HHSP funds may be used to provide rental assistance, case management and other services or
housing options to reduce homelessness. The HHSP grant funds are currently used to provide rental
assistance to 60 persons for permanent supportive housing annually.
The State of Texas allows municipalities to designate a sub recipient for TDHCA to contract with on behalf
of the recipient of HHSP funds. In the past, the City of Fort Worth designated the United Way of Tarrant
County to be the recipient of the grant. The United Way has requested to be removed as the sub recipient
due to capacity.
The Directions Home unit will administer the HHSP funds.A sub-grantee will continue to support the 60
permanent supportive housing clients. As clients gain self-sufficiency, this grant will enable more people
currently experiencing homelessness to be housed.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education:
