There is an additional project in the Non -Revenue Recovery category for Deeply Affordable Housing that is anticipated to
utilize $8,000,000.00 for drainage and infrastructure work necessary for the development of Tobias Place, an affordable
housing development that includes over 50 deeply affordable housing units and over 200 other affordable units. This
project is currently on hold pending certain decisions regarding financing, but Staff will bring forwarded an M&C on
this project in early 2023 once a determination is made regarding the financing structure for the project.
Not all of the identified capital projects were included in the 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Project (CIP), and some
were listed in the CIP but with funding from a source other than ARPA. Adoption of this M&C will amend the CIP to add
projects that were not previously listed and to revise the funding source for projects that were originally identified to be
paid for from a source other than ARPA.

M&C Review
The remaining unallocated balance of ARPA funding consists of the following:
$5,000,000.00 Texas A&M University project - to be determined
8,000,000.00 Deeply Affordable Housing project - on hold
165,682.00 Revenue Recovery category - held in contingency
318,375.58 Non -Revenue Recovery category - held in contingency
$13,484,057.58 Total Remaining Unallocated Balance
Funding is budgeted in the American Rescue Plan Act project within the Grants Operating Federal Fund for the purpose
of funding various projects for the management and support of the ARPA initiatives approved by City Council.
These projects are located in All Council Districts.
NOTE ON APPROPRIATIONS - All of the ARPA dollars were previously appropriated in the Grants Projects Federal
(Operating) Fund (M&Cs 21-0445 and 22-0490). Because some of the projects being recommended for approval by this
M&C would constitute capital expenditures by the City, a transfer and appropriation is needed for those funds
(Recommendations 2 and 3). For the recommendations that involve expenditure directly out to the Grants operating fund,
no further action regarding appropriations is needed.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the Grants Operating Federal Fund American Rescue Plan Act
project, and that, upon approval of the above recommendations, funds will be available in the Grants Caps Projects
Federal Fund in various projects for the management and support of the ARPA initiatives approved by City Council. Prior
to any expenditures being incurred, the participating departments and Financial Management Services have the
responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.

SUBJECT: (CD 9) Authorize Execution of a Forgivable Subordinate Loan in the Amount of
$8,000,000.00 using American Rescue Plan Act Funds and Related Agreements for
Construction of Stormwater Drainage and Other Infrastructure Improvements Relating to
the Tobias Place, an Affordable Housing Development at 505 West Biddison Street and
3500 South Jennings Avenue; and Find that the Loan Serves a Public Purpose and that
Adequate Controls are in Place
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions associated with support of Tobias
Place, an affordable housing development, located at 505 West Biddison Street and 3500 South
Jennings Avenue (Project):
1. Authorize execution of a forgivable, subordinate loan in the amount of $8,000,000.00 using
American Rescue Plan Act funds for the benefit of Tobias Place, LP, and other entities involved
in the Project, for construction costs associated with stormwater drainage and other
infrastructure improvements in support of the development of the Project;
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all related contracts, loan documents,
and other documents necessary for lending activities with specified terms;
3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to extend the contract if such an extension is
necessary for completion of the Project, and to extend all other required documents for
lending activities as necessary for the development of the Project;
4. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend the contract and other required
documents if necessary to achieve Project goals, provided that the amendments are within
the scope of the Project and in compliance with City policies and applicable laws and
regulations governing the use of federal funds; and
5. Find that providing a forgivable loan for construction costs associated with infrastructure
improvements in support of the development of Tobias Place achieves the public purpose of
increasing quality, affordable, accessible housing to low- to moderate -income households in
the City and that adequate controls through the contract and related loan documents are in
place to ensure that the public purpose is carried out.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to seek City Council authority to
execute contracts and related loan documents in order to provide $8,000,000.00 in previously set -
aside American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support development of an affordable multifamily
housing development in the Worth Heights neighborhood.
On September 27, 2022, City Council committed $8,000,000.00 from the Coronavirus State and Local
Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLRF) Program — a part of ARPA — in support of the development of Tobias
Place (through M&C 22-0789, as amended and adopted).
Tobias Place will be a new, affordable multifamily housing development consisting of approximately
288 units. There will be approximately 235 units set aside for households earning 60 percent or less of
Area Median Income (AMI) with another 53 units set aside for households earning 0-30 percent of
AMI. The development will consist of one -bedroom, two -bedroom, and three -bedroom units with

community and activity space including a children's play area, dog run, pool, and co -working and
meeting rooms.
This M&C seeks City Council authority to execute contracts and related loan documents for the
approved ARPA funds in the amount of $8,000,000.00. The funds will be provided to benefit the
Project in the form of a forgivable, subordinate loan based on the terms listed below.
Staff recommends the followina ARPA loan terms:
1. Loan term commences on the date of execution by all parties and ends as set forth in the
loan documents;
2. First lien commercial construction loan terms must be acceptable to the City of Fort Worth
(City);
3. Borrower's performance of contractual obligations will be secured by a deed of trust; and
4. Payment of ARPA fund loans will only be required if borrower fails to comply with a
contractual obligation(s).
In order for the Project financing to work while still meeting all regulatory requirements, it is anticipated
that an intermediate borrower will be involved. If that structure is utilized, the City would loan funds to
the intermediate borrower (currently anticipated to be a partially owned affiliate of the Fort Worth
Housing Finance Corporation (FWHFC)) which would then loan the funds to Tobias Place, LP or a
related entity.
NOTE: A similar structure is anticipated to be used for the $2,000,000.00 in County ARPA dollars,
which may also be loaned to the intermediate borrower by the FWHFC.
Staff recommends approving the execution of contracts and related loan documents and expenditure
of $8,000,000.00 in ARPA funds for the benefit of Tobias Place, LP and the development of the
Project.
By approving this M&C, the City Council also finds that the public purpose served by this Project is to
benefit and further the City's goals to provide quality, accessible, affordable housing for low- to
moderate -income residents and supporting economic development and revitalization, and that the
forgivable ARPA Loan is vital to the financial feasibility of the development of Tobias Place, an
affordable multifamily housing development. The City Council further finds that adequate controls are
in place through the various contracts and loan documents to ensure that the public purpose is carried
out.
In addition to the City ARPA funds that will be used for infrastructure improvements required for the
development of Tobias Place, it is also being supported by activities of the FWHFC. On November 30,
2021, the FWHFC board approved a partnership with Ojala Partner, LP, to develop Tobias Place
wherein an affiliate of the FWHFC (Tobias Place GP, LLC) will become the general partner of the
partnership known as Tobias Place, LP (Partnership) (Resolution No. FWHFC-2021-18). On the same
date, the FWHFC also approved a forgivable subordinate loan of $1,750,000.00 for the purchase of
the land to be used for the development of Tobias Place and certain pre -development costs
(Resolution No. FWHFC-2021-20). On February 28, 2023, the FWHFC agreed to be the fiduciary
agent for the Partnership, which applied for and received an award of Tarrant County ARPA funds in
the amount of up to $2,000,000.00 for gap financing for the development of Tobias Place.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, in the Grants Operating Federal Fund to support the approval of the above
recommendations and execution of the loan. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the
Neighborhood Services Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
