DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth's (City's) 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development activities and
proposed expenditures for the program year beginning October 1, 2022 and ending September 30, 2023 for use of federal grant funds totaling
$13,124,648.00 from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
(HOPWA) grant programs. 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 persons experiencing
homelessness, 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 year's funding levels. One public
hearing was held on April 27, 2022 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 11, 2022. These funding
recommendations were presented in City Council Work Session on June 7, 2022.
A 30-day public comment period was held from July 1, 2022 to August 1, 2022. Notice of this public comment period was published in the Fort
Worth Star -Telegram on June 26, 2022; in the Weatherford Democrat on June 28, 2022; in the Hood County News and Wise County
Messenger on June 29, 2022; in Cleburne Times Review and La Vida News on June 30, 2022; and in Glen Rose Reporter on July 1, 2022.
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 13, 2022, and the
second public hearing is scheduled for the City Council meeting on August 9, 2022.
A summary of staff's final funding recommendations is provided below in Tables 1, 2, and 3. A Powerpoint presentation listing funding
recommendations is also attached. The 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD by August 15, 2022.
Indirect costs totaling approximately $330,793.14 could be charged to these grants, as the Neighborhood Services Department indirect cost rate

All figures have been rounded to the nearest dollar for presentation purposes. These programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
Each of these grants is an entitlement grant rather than a competitive grant received from the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). Entitlement grants provide funds to agencies based on a formula, prescribed in legislation or regulation, rather than based
on review. These specific grants are allocated to the City of Fort Worth based on population size and per capita income each year. The grants
have been consistently awarded to the City since 1974 with the inception of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) through the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The Emergency Shelter (renamed Solutions) Grant (ESG) was authorized in 1987 through the
McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act. The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) and the Housing Opportunities for
Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program were authorized in 1990 through the Cranston -Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. With
these grants, administrative and program delivery allocations support approximately 72 FTE positions in the Neighborhood Services Department,
which is funded nearly 70% with various grants including these entitlement grants.
Positions funded with HUD Entitlement grants are subject to grant availability. In the event of a grant award being decreased or eliminated,
Neighborhood Services Department would review programs and services funded by the grants and determine a level of service and staffing that
aligns with the available funding. Alternative to consider may include staff and program reductions or eliminations.
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, of 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.
