DISCUSSION:
The State of Texas provides grant funding for the Homeless Housing and Services Program (HHSP) administered by the Texas Department of
Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) to nine municipalities with a population of 285,500 or greater, including the City of Fort Worth (City).
The HHSP amount allocated to the City is $409,176.00. The HHSP funds may be used to provide rental assistance, case management and other
services or housing options to reduce homelessness. The HHSP grant funds from prior years are currently being provided to Fort Worth Housing
Solutions through a subgrant agreement to provide rental assistance for permanent supportive housing to 40 homeless individuals annually.
The HHSP-Youth amount allocated to the City is $129,878.00. Eligible services include case management, emergency shelter, street outreach
and transitional living. The HHSP-Youth grant funds will be used to provide rental assistance and case management for 10 youth annually.
By approval of this Mayor and Council Communication, the City Council finds that funding the subgrant agreements will meet the public purpose of
helping to end chronic homelessness and reduce youth homelessness and that adequate controls are in place through the subgrant agreements to
ensure that the public purpose is carried out.
Upon acceptance, the grant will begin on September 1, 2022. The Neighborhood Services Department will administer the HHSP and HHSP-Youth
funds and monitor the sub -grantees, Fort Worth Housing Solutions and CitySquare. The subgrant agreements will be from September 1, 2022 to
August 31, 2023.
An Assistant City Manager is authorized to execute the contracts.
A Form 1295 is not required for these contracts because: These contracts will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of
higher education: TDHCA and Fort Worth Housing Solutions. A Form 1295 is required for CitySquare.
