DISCUSSION:
On June 17, 2008, the City Council adopted the City's Homelessness Plan, Directions Home
(Resolution No. 3628-06-2008). The United Way of Tarrant County (United Way) offered to serve as
a funding conduit at no cost for the implementation of the Directions Home programs funded by the
City. The United Way created a special fund to administer and distribute public and private dollars to
be used for the implementation of county -wide homelessness programs.
On September 15, 2009, the City Council allocated $2,556,042.00 in Fiscal Year 2009-2010 budget
to the Housing and Economic Development Department to implement the programs described in
Directions Home, including $2,393,356.00 for programs to be administered by the United Way.
The original agreement with the United Way has expired and staff recommends that the Council
approve a new agreement with the United Way, for the administration of its funds. The agreement
would contain the following services:
1. Permanent Supportive Housing Voucher Program is administered by the Fort Worth
Housing Authority and voucher -linked supportive services are provided by partner agencies -
$153,575.00;
2. Voucher -linked Supportive Services are coordinated by frontline case managers to
support tenants in housing - $1,266,300.00;
3. Mental Health and Substance Abuse Program provides outreach, outpatient services and
inpatient treatment - $345,000.00.00;
