Subject: Contract with Presbyterian Night Shelter for Rapid Exit Services to Aid Overflow
Ramp down at Fort Worth Convention Center
Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2: a
strain similar to SARS. The disease was first identified in China and has quickly spread to the
rest of the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a global pandemic.
Currently the United States is working to prevent mass infection in the country by passing a 15
day guide that is intended to slowthe spread of the virus.As a consequence, there exists a
need to ensure the pandemic does not spread in the homeless population of Fort Worth.
To ensure safety and immediate detection of potential infection among the homeless population,
the City of Fort Worth worked to create a temporary shelterin the Fort Worth convention center
starting March 18, 2020. This shelter has been operating with an average of 326 guests per
night.
To shut down the overflowshelter at the Fort Worth Convention Center, multiple strategies are
being utilized. These strategies include exiting guests through existing diversion funds and
transferring people to emergency shelters as they increase capacity. Another strategy to
reduce the population at FWCC is an intervention called rapid exit. In the homeless system
context, rapid exit is the best intervention for households that are already employed or who can
quickly re-gain employment. These targeted households receive short-term case management
focused on unit location and short-term rental assistance (this includes lease up expenses such
as security deposits, application fees, administrative fees, high risk fees, opportunity fees and
up to three months rent). Case managers will have some discretion to increase the rent beyond
three months if needed.
It is estimated that 60 households are appropriate for rapid exit intervention. The estimated cost
is $350,000.00 for lease up fees and rental assistance.
The Shelter Operations Unit requests$350,000.00 in spending authority from The Coronavirus
Relief Funds (CARES Act, Title V) for Presbyterian Night Shelter in orderto provide rapid exit
assistance to 60 households to assist with the ramp down of FWCC.
Chapter 2, Article I, Section 2-9 at(9) of the City's Code of Ordinances and Section 252.022 of
the Local Government Code exempts from normal bidding requirements expenditures that are
necessary to preserve or protect the city's property and the public health or safety of the
municipality's residents.
