TRINITY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY (CARVER HEIGHTS EAST & HISTORIC CARVER HEIGHTS MODEL BLOCKS)

repayment to HUD being required or receiving a finding from HUD are uncertain and would be
difficult to ascertain and may include an impact on City's CDBG grant or other federal grant fiends,

Trinity Habitat for Humanity
Preserve -A -Home Program
Date of Execution by City to 18 Months Thereafter $210,899.45
PERIOD AMOUNT
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have meanings assigned them in the Contract.
Program:
The Preserve -A -Home Program (Program) provides exterior home repairs for low -to -moderate
(low -mod) income homeowners living in Fort Worth Texas. Eligible repairs include:
replacing/repairing siding, roof replacement/repair, replacing/re-glazing windows or doors,
replacing trim and painting, and other exterior items that are essential to maintaining the structural
integrity of the home.
Clients must be income eligible households, occupy the home as their principal residence, and
must lack the financial means or physical ability to renovate their homes. For the purposes of this
Program, all clients served shall have a household income at or below 80% of Area Median
Income, as defined and published annually by the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
The target neighborhoods of this Program are the Historic Carver Heights, and Carver
Heights East neighborhood of Fort Worth Texas, with boundaries as designated by the
Neighborhood Services Department Neighborhood Improvement program per the attached map.
The Agency shall provide services exclusively in the Historic Carver Heights, and Carver IIeights
East neighborhoods for the first 12 months of the Contract Term from date of execution of contract.
In the event that all contract funds are not obligated or committed to eligible clients in the Historic
Carver Heights and Carver Heights East neighborhoods during this period, homeowners from the
additional City -approved neighborhood areas listed below will be authorized to participate in the
program, to ensure the successful completion of Program goals and to allow for the timely
expenditure of grant funds; however, during this time, applicants from the Historic Carver Heights
and Carver Heights East neighborhoods shall remain the priority above all other locations.
Per -Unit Cap:
CDBG funding for each Unit will be limited to $12,500, unless one or more of the following
circumstances exists:
Increased construction costs due to required Lead Hazard Reduction services,
Increased construction costs due to City of Fort Worth Historic & Cultural Landmarks
Commission requirements;
CDBG COWRACT; CXf 1113rl"'A": PROGRAM SUMMARY
'Il•inily llnbilal for litminnily: Preserve-A-lionte Program (Historic Cnver l-Ieigh(s/Craver Heiglils Enst)
In the event that Lead -based Paint costs or Historic Preservation costs are a required element of
the project, total CDBG funding will be limited to $20,000. Agency is responsible for prioritizing
work items in order to stay within funding caps while addressing the most urgent items that are
most essential to preserving the housing unit's structural integrity over the long term.
Agency or homeowner is responsible for submitting any applications for, and obtaining, applicable
City permits or approvals. These approvals may include but are not limited to Historic & Cultural
Landmarks Commission, Board of Adjustment, Zoning approvals, and building inspections. Cost
for permits or approvals are reimbursable under this contract.
Agency is responsible for referring all properties considered for Program assistance to the City of
Fort Worth LeadSafe program to determine eligibility for that program, and for complying with
the Lead Safe Housing Rule (24 CFR Part 35). Agency will maintain a list of such referrals for
review by City upon request. If a Referral property is determined to be eligible for the LeadSafe
Program, Agency will coordinate with the City to ensure that all City -administered Lead Hazard
Reduction activities are completed prior to completion of Preserve A Home activities. If a Referral
property is determined to be ineligible for the LeadSafe Program, Agency may take one of the
following actions;
• Contract for a Lead Risk Assessment to determine the extent of Lead Hazard Reduction
services required by HUD's Lead Safe Housing Rule, incorporate such Lead Hazard
Reduction into the Program scope of work for that property, and perform both exterior
repairs and Lead Hazard Reduction services using no more than $20,000 in funds from
this Contract.
• Contract for a Lead Risk Assessment, incorporate Lead Hazard Reduction into the
Program scope of work, and use Agency's Leveraged funds for any costs in excess of
$20>000.
• Contract for a Lead Risk Assessment, incorporate Lead Hazard Reduction into the
Program Scope of Work for the unit, and reduce the extent of Preserve A Home exterior
repair items performed in order to stay within the $20,000 CDBG cost limit.
• Deny services to the potential client based on cost infeasibility.
If the Lead Risk Assessment performed by the City's or Agency's contractor identified lead
hazards in the interior of the home, and the property has been determined to be ineligible for
participation in the City's LeadSafe Program, Agency may take one of the following actions;
• Use Contract funds to perform the interior lead hazard reduction activities / interim
controls in addition to the exterior Program repairs, prioritizing work items to be
performed in order to stay within the $20,000 cost limitation.
• Use Agency leveraged fluids to supplement Contract CDBG fluids and perform all HUD -
required interior lead hazard reduction activities in addition to all needed exterior repair
items to ensure the ongoing physical and structural integrity of the housing unit.
• Deny services to the potential client based on cost infeasibility.
CDBG finds will be used to pay for materials, building permits, contractor labor for the home
repairs and project delivery costs in the form of salaries and FICA insurance for staff directly
dealing with clients. The costs of Lead Risk Assessments and lead hazard reduction interim
controls to ensure compliance with HUD regulations are also eligible. The costs of Lead Risk
Assessments at homes which are later denied Program services due to cost infeasibility or other
reasons, are eligible under this Contract as a project delivery expense.
