It also summarizes the use of program income resulting from activities using prior years' CDBG and HOME funds, the primary purpose of which is to benefit low -and moderate -income persons in Fort Worth. ESG funds primarily benefit homeless persons, and HOPWA funds primarily benefit low- and moderate -income persons with HIV/AIDS. Staff developed initial recommendations for the allocation of the estimated funding from HUD based on prior years' funding levels. Two public hearings were held on April 14, 2021 and May 12, 2021 to provide citizens the opportunity to participate in the development of the Annual Action Plan. Recommendations for award amounts were considered and adopted by the Community Development Council on May 12, 2021. These funding recommendations were presented in City Council Work Session on June 22, 2021. A 30-day public comment period was held from July 1, 2021 to July 30, 2021. Notice of this public comment period was published in the Wise County Messenger and Glen Rose Reporter on June 25, 2021; in the Cleburne Times -Review, Hood County News, and Weatherford Democrat on June 26, 2021; in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on June 27, 2021; and in La Vida News on July 1, 2021. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in accordance with federal regulations. The City held two public hearings as part of the HUD required citizen participation process. The first public hearing was held by staff on July 14, 2021, and the second public hearing is scheduled for the City Council meeting on August 3, 2021.
