DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth (City)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 the prior year's grant and contract award as a planning figure for the
2022 CSBG program. The total 2021 contract amount is$1,882,063.00. CAP staff projects an
increase in funding resulting in an estimated grant award in an amount up to $2,200,000.00 for 2022.
The additional appropriation takes into account the 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$1,835,033.00 per year and as much as
$1,882,063.00 in one year. TDHCA distributes the funds in quarterly allocations. The first allocation of
$470,515.00 will be available for use beginning January 1, 2022.
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

M&C Review Page 2 of 2
accordance with federal law and as such, administers CSBG-funded programs. Eight neighborhood
CAP offices will be utilized to deliver the CSBG program services.
Indirect costs totaling an estimated $271,596.37, calculated by taking wages &salaries designated for
this grant of approximately$1,040,998.00 multiplied by the Neighborhood Service Departments'
indirect cost rate of 26.09\% defined in the City's most recent Cost Allocation Plan, could be charged
to this grant. A waiver of these indirect costs is requested to allow allocation of these funds to further
support the programs and services to assist low-to-moderate income citizens.
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 and adoption of
the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, in the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Neighborhood Services Department (and
Financial Management Services)will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the
City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Neighborhood Services Department has the
responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
