SUBJECT CONTRACT WITH NEAR NORTHSIDE PARTNERS COUNCIL, INC. FOR FY2001
COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION HOME INVESTMENT
PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM FUNDING
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the reallocation of $160,000 in existing FY2001 Home Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME) grant funds in order to execute a contract with the Near Northside Partners Council, Inc.;
and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with the Near Northside Partners Council, Inc. in
an amount not to exceed $160,000 in FY2001 HOME funds to purchase vacant residential lots and
construct and sell two single-family homes in the near northside area; and
3. Authorize the contract to begin on the date of execution, and expire twelve months thereafter; and
4. Authorize extension or renewal of the contract for up to one year, if the Near Northside Partners
Council, Inc. requests an extension; and
5. Authorize amendment of the contract, if necessary, to achieve project goals provided that the
amendment is within the scope of the project, and in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations; and
6. Authorize the Near Northside Partners Council, Inc. to retain the proceeds as defined by Section
92.300(a)(2) of the HOME Program and in conformance with City policy.
DISCUSSION:
The HOME Program is intended to be a partnership between federal, state, and local government and
non-profit and for-profit agencies that build, own, manage, finance, and support low income housing
initiatives.
Participating Jurisdictions (PJs) such as the City of Fort Worth are particularly encouraged to work with
existing community-based, non-profit housing organizations and to help develop new housing non-profit
organizations. To ensure this participation, a minimum of 15% of a PJ's HOME funds must be set-aside
to be used for Community Housing Development Corporations (CHDOs), and up to 5% may be set-aside
to fund CHDOs' operating expenses. The proposed project will be funded out of the Grants Fund.
The Near Northside Partners Council, Inc. is proposing to purchase two vacant residential lots in its
neighborhood to construct and sell new in-fill housing to qualified low-income homebuyers. The new
construction will be a positive contribution to the neighborhood's affordable housing stock and will
improve the neighborhood image.
