Special conditions, procedures, and requirements identified for the project may include
and are not limited to mitigation of any adverse effects identified by the environmental
review process. The special conditions, procedures, and requirements may differ and are
subject to approval by City and HUD.
Environmental Mitigations are as follows:
Noise Abatement Control
Before construction can begin, Developer must supply one of the following to City:
1) Certification from a qualified acoustical engineer that the construction materials used will
bring the interior noise level down to below 45 dB, or
2) The information required to fill out HUD's STraCAT tool, in order for City to calculate
the degree to which the construction materials/design will reduce 'interior noise and verify
that they meet HUD's standards
Once City confirms that interior noise will be reduced to an acceptable level, construction may
proceed.
Vegetation and Wildlife
During construction, all active nests should be avoided, and if found, a biologist with the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) must be notified. No trees or bushes that have active
nests in them may be cut down without first consulting with the USFWS, who will then
determine if onsite assessment from a qualified biologist is necessary.
City will provide Developer the executed environmental review record and certifications.
Developer agrees to abide by the special conditions, procedures, and requirements of the
executed environmental review certification approved by HUD.

the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which included an
allocation of$307,144.00 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) grant funds to
Housing Channel for the Riverside Single Family lnfill Development on scattered sites in the
United Riverside neighborhood (M&C G-19056). HUD requires the City to set aside 15 percent of
its allocation of HOME funds for Community Development Housing Organization (CHDO)

activities. Housing Channel is an experienced single family affordable housing developer and a
certified CHDO.
Housing Channel plans to develop up to five approximately 1,500 square foot, three-bedroom, two-
bath, two-car garage single family houses on LaSalle Street, Paradise Street, and Baurline Street.
The average construction cost per house is $153,400.00 and $97.00 per square foot. The houses
will be sold to households that earn 80 percent or less of the Area Median Income as set by
HUD. Eligible buyers must meet all HOME requirements, including applying for and receiving at
least $1,000 in down payment and/or closing cost assistance from the City's Homebuyer
Assistance Program {HAP} and occupying the houses as their primary residences for the required
affordability period. Due to rising construction costs, additional funding was needed to close the
financing gap for the development. Staff identified an additional $95,356.00 of HOME funds from
prior years' completed or cancelled programs and projects for a total contract amount of
$402,500.00 for this project.
Staff recommends he following HOME contract and HOME I-oanterms:
1. First lien commercial construction loan terms must be acceptable to City.
2. HOME loan will be subordinate only to first lien construction loan. Borrower's performance of
the terms of the HOME contract and HOME loan will be secured by a deed of trust. Payment of
HOME loan will only be required if Borrower fails to fulfill the HOME requirements in the contract
and the terms of the HOME loan.
3. Three year term for HOME contract and HOME loan. Construction must begin within six months
of date of contract execution.
4. Houses must be sold to HOME-eligible buyers who obtain a HAP loan of at least$1,000.00.
5. Housing Channel will be paid a 15 percent developer fee and will retain the net sales proceeds
from the houses to be used to construct additional affordable houses.
The expenditure of HOME funds is conditioned upon the following;
1. Satisfactory completion of an environmental review, pursuant to 24 CF'R Part 58.
2. Authorization to use grant funds from HUD.
City staff recommends the change in use and expenditure of an additional $95,356.00 of HOME
funds for a total contract amount of$402,500.00 to Housing Channel for the Riverside Single
Family Infill Development. The purpose of this project is to benefit low and very low-income
citizens by providing them with affordable housing. This project will assist the City in meeting its
CHDO commitment and expenditure goals with HUD. A public comment period on the change in
use of these HOME funds was held from November 28, 2018 to December 28, 2018. Any
comments are maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in accordance with federal
regulations. The Action Plan funding year may vary and be substituted in order to expend the
oldest grant funds first.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
FISCAL INFORMATI0NICERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, funds will be
available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Operating Federal Fund.
The Neighborhood Services Department is responsible for verifying sufficiency of funding before
disbursement. This is a reimbursement grant.

DISCUSSION:
The City's 2017-2018 Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development
activities and proposed expenditures for the program year beginning October 1, 2017 and ending
September 30, 2018 for use of federal grant funds totaling $10,778,461.00 from the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) for Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant(ESG) and
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs. It also summarizes the use
of program income resulting from activities using prior years' CDBG and HOME funds, the primary
purpose of which is to benefit low and moderate income City of Fort Worth residents. ESG funds
primarily benefit homeless persons, and HOPWA funds primarily benefit low and moderate income
persons with HIVIAIDS.
Staff developed initial recommendations for the allocation of the estimated funding from HUD based
on prior years' funding levels. A public hearing was held on April 19, 2017 to provide citizens the
opportunity to participate in the development of the Action Plan. The Staff recommendations for
award amounts were presented to the Housing and Neighborhood Services Committee on May 6,
2017 and were adopted by the Community Development Council (CDC) on May 10, 2017. Following
the publication of final funding amounts for FY2017-18 from HUD on June 14, 2017, Staff
recommendations were updated to reflect the actual grant amounts and these revised
recommendations were forwarded to the CDC and presented to the City Council through an Informal
Report at the City Council Work Session on June 20, 2017.
Notice of a 30 day public comment period from June 30, 2017 to July 31, 2017 was published in the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram on June 25, 2017, in La Estrella on June 27, 2017, and in La Vida News:
The Black Voice on June 29, 2017. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood
Services Department in accordance with federal regulations. The City must hold two public hearings
as part of the HUD-required citizen participation process. The first public hearing is scheduled to be
held by City Staff on July 19, 2017, and the second public hearing is scheduled for August 1, 2017 at
the City Council meeting.
A summary of Staffs final funding recommendations is provided below and in Tables 1, 2 and
3. Additionally, a spreadsheet of all specific funding recommendations is attached. The 2017-2018
Annual Action Plan must be submitted to HUD by August 15, 2017.
A waiver of indirect costs is being requested to maximize program benefits. The CDBG program
provides for 23 full-time positions with estimated salaries of$1.3 million. Addition of indirect costs
would result in reduction in Staff and services. The indirect costs that are being asked to be waived
are estimated to be$215,386.00.
