SUBJECT: Authorize Acceptance of 2020 Community Services Block Grant Funds, a Federally
Funded Program Sponsored by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services to
Support the Reduction of Poverty, the Revitalization of Low-Income Communities and the
Empowerment of Low-Income Families and Individuals to Become Fully Self-Sufficient, in
an Amount Up to $2,200,000.00 from the Texas Department of Housing and Community
Affairs, Authorize Execution of Related Contracts, Adopt Appropriation Ordinance and
Waive Indirect Costs (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the acceptance of 2020 Community Services Block Grant funds in an amount up to
$2,200,000.00 from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs;
2. Authorize the execution of related contracts, including any renewals, amendments and extensions
in accordance with City policies and regulations with the Texas Department of Housing and
Community Affairs for the grant funds for the program year beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending
on December 31, 2020;
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Operating Federal Fund in an amount up to $2,200,000.00, subject to receipt of the grant; and
4. Waive indirect costs in the estimated amount of $165,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth contracts with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs
(TDHCA) to provide the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Program through Community
Action Partners (CAP) which is managed by the City's Neighborhood Services Department. TDHCA
has notified the City to use prior year's grant and contract award as a planning figure for the 2020
CSBG program. The total 2019 contract amount is $1,838,824.00. CAP staff projects an increase in
funding resulting in an estimated grant award in an amount up to $2,200,000.00 for 2020. The
additional appropriation takes into account anticipated increase in services and the award of
subsequent grant amounts due to other grantees being unable to spend their funding. During the past
five years, the City has received an average of $1,944,776.00 per year and as much as
$2,104,024.00 in one year. TDHCA distributes the funds in quarterly allocations. The first allocation of
$438,522.00 will be available for use beginning January 1, 2020.
CSBG provides programs and services to assist low-income persons with case management,
emergency assistance, outreach and certification for energy assistance, information and referral and
holiday assistance as well as provides clients with transportation to employment, educational training,
medical services and other needs. TDHCA does not require CSBG subrecipients to procure vendors
for client assistance but allows the use of vendors according to the needs of the client that is related
to education or employment.
CSBG also supports administrative and programmatic staff salaries. The CAP in the Neighborhood
Services Department serves as the designated Community Action Agency for all of Tarrant County, in
accordance with federal law and as such, administers CSBG-funded programs. Nine neighborhood
CAP offices will be utilized to deliver the CSBG program services.
A waiver by the City of indirect costs will maximize program benefits. The CSBG program provides for
25 full-time positions with estimated direct salaries of one million dollars. Addition of indirect costs
would result in reduction in staff and services. The estimated indirect costs that are being asked to be
waived is $165,000.00.
No matching funds are required from the City for the CSBG program.
This program services ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS and the rest of Tarrant County.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that, upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of the
grant and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current
operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Operating Federal Fund. Neighborhood Services will
be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to expenditures being
incurred, Neighborhood Services has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a
reimbursement grant.
