At the request of Council Member Zadeh, Assistant City Manager
Fernando Costa, City Manager's Office, appeared before Council and
explained that Fort Worth Housing Solutions and its partner, Ojalla
Holdings, is considering the acquisition of two hotel properties and
applying for zoning changes on those properties later this week. He
stated that the proposed reduction in funding from $18,600,000.00 to
$9,300,000.00 would mean that they would only be able to acquire one
hotel property with the greater number of units and remodel that
property. In order to do both properties, they would need roughly
$16,000,000.00 to accomplish and they would produce around 150
units, short of the 200-unit goal originally requested.
