this Agreement. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement to other than an Affiliate without

principal of the PSH Note or, if the principal of the PSH Note has been paid, refunded. This
provision overrides any conflicting provisions in this and all other PSH Loan Documents.
8. It is not a waiver of default if the non -defaulting party fails to declare immediately
a default or delays taking any action. Pursuit of any remedies set forth in this Loan Agreement
does not preclude pursuit of other remedies in the other PSH Loan Documents or provided by law.

release its PSH Deed of Trust and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other under
this Loan Agreement. If Borrower fails to return the PSH Loan proceeds to Lender within 15 days
of written notice of termination of this Loan Agreement, Lender may exercise all of its remedies

JOURNEY HOME HOUSING, LLC
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have meanings assigned to them in the Loan
Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and agrees to the terms of this Exhibit and shall
acknowledge and agree to the following.
The purpose of the PSH Units is to reduce the population of chronically homeless persons in the
City by combining rental assistance with supportive services so that formerly homeless tenants can
maintain stable housing. Borrower will retain the Supportive Services Provider ("SSP") for the
PSH Tenants if the rental assistance does not include supportive services. The scope of the
supportive services shall be determined by Borrower but at a minimum shall include on -site case

services for the PSH Tenants. These resources must be in place by the time of initial
lease -up of the project.
2. PSH Tenants must meet the HUD definition of chronically homeless. PSH Tenants
will be selected from the prioritized Continuum of Care for TX-601 Fort
Worth/Arlington/Tarrant County ("CoC") permanent supportive housing list
maintained by the Tarrant County Homeless Coalition ("TCHC").
3. If requested, Borrower will provide SSP onsite office space at no cost to be used
exclusively by either the SSP's staff member or staff members of other agencies
providing supportive services, as well as a telephone line and internet access sufficient
for staff members to access the Homeless Management Information System ("HMIS')
maintained by the CoC. The staff members will coordinate with Property Manager on
scheduling office space needs.
4. Property Manager will coordinate with the staff member of the agency providing the
rental assistance or TCHC regarding selection and placement of PSH Tenants ensuring
that tenant selection criteria for the PSH Units is appropriate and consistent with the
purpose of the PSH Program as well as the property management practices for the
project and any requirements related to the rental assistance. Property Manager will
not unreasonably deny housing to eligible homeless persons who otherwise meet the
rental assistance providers' standards for services.
5. Borrower will promptly notify the TCHC and any agency providing rental assistance
in writing of the specific date when lease -up of the project will begin so that a referral
and coordination process for potential tenants for the PSH Units can be initiated.
6. Borrower must contact TCHC and the agencies providing the rental assistance for
referrals when a PSH Unit is available.
PSH LOAN AGREEMENT - City of Fort Worth Directions Home Funds Page 22

Manager is notified by a PSH Tenant of their intent to vacate, the Property
Manager will hold the PSH Unit available for referral from the CoC for 60 days
from the date TCHC and the agency supplying the rental assistance is notified in
writing by the Property Manager of the PSH Unit's availability.
6.2 When a PSH Tenant vacates a PSH Unit without notice, the Property
Manager will hold the PSH Unit available for referral from the CoC for 45 days

efforts to process lease applications in a timely manner to avoid exceeding the
applicable 45- or 60-day referral periods and must document such efforts.
7. Borrower shall promptly notify in writing and coordinate with TCHC and the agency
supplying the rental assistance in cases of any PSH Tenant's financial hardship, lease
violation, or any other circumstances deemed appropriate by Developer or Property

consistent with sound management of the project.

by the any agreement for rental assistance of the PSH Tenants.

Backaround
The City of Fort Worth is part of the local Continuum of Care (CoC), and one of the priorities of the
CoC is to address the current level of chronic homelessness. Tarrant County Homeless Coalition

1/18/23, 1:51 PM
M&C Review
(TCHC) evaluated the homelessness situation in the CoC area, which encompasses Tarrant and
Parker counties, and identified strategies, resources, and the estimated number of new physical units
of PSH needed. In addition to other strategies, TCHC determined one of the greatest needs is for
physical units designated for the chronically homeless.
On December 14, 2021, to help address this need in the City of Fort Worth, Mayor and Council
approved a substantial amendment to the City's 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan for the use of
$10,537,030.00 in HOME -ARP Federal Grant funds to be awarded by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development for the purpose of funding the development of PSH (M&C No. 21-
0968) through a competitive Notice of Funding Availability process ("NOFA"). The Fort Worth Housing
Finance Corporation (FWHFC), which had previously set aside $5,000,000.00 for the development of
PSH in the city, allocated $2,550,000.00 of the set -aside funds to be included with the HOME -ARP
funds in the NOFA (Resolution No. FWHFC 2019 07). FWHFC PSH funds require a dollar for dollar
match from private foundations.
These funds were combined with a goal to develop 125 PSH units in the City. On March 8, 2022, the
Neighborhood Services Department (NSD) released the NOFA. However, it was noted that the 125
PSH units was not sufficient to meet the City's need for PSH units.
On April 12, 2022, the City Council allocated an additional $5,000,000.00 of general ARPA funds for
the development of PSH units (M&C 22-0270). This amount was included in the NOFA to be awarded
for PSH development, and the unit goal increased to 165.
Scoring - NSD staff and a philanthropic representative scored the six applications that were
submitted. Based on scores, responsiveness to Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE)
requirements, and project feasibility, three projects are being recommended by staff for funding. One
project was non -responsive due to failure to meet the M/WBE requirement, and two were found to be
lacking in one or more key areas of evaluation.

By approval of this M&C, the City Council finds that the following actions are necessary to achieve the
vital public purpose of providing decent, safe, and affordable housing to extremely -low-income
residents: (i) providing forgivable loans to the three developments listed above for the development of
PSH units in the City, and (ii) the waiver or deferral of certain related City fees for the New Leaf
Community Services and Presbyterian Night Shelter developments, including all fees charged by the
Development Services Department (waived), park dedication fees (conditionally deferred), and
transportation impact fees, for which a variance was granted by Development Services Department, in
the collective approximate amount of $400,000.00; however the actual amount could vary.
New Leaf Community Presbyterian Night
Services PSH Project Shelter PSH Project
Park Fees (Deferred) $58,824.00 $71,543.00
Transportation Impact Fees $50,832.00 $76,248.00
(Waived)
Estimate of Other Development $54,064.00 $73,929.00
Services Department fees (Waived)
Total Fees Waived or Deferred $163,720.00 $221,720.00
Staff has reviewed and verified, and Council by approval of this M&C finds, that the waiver or deferral
of the fees is necessary for the financial feasibility of the two identified developments. The City Council
further finds that adequate controls are in place through the loan documents to ensure the public
purpose is carried out. Park fees will be payable in the event the property is transferred to a for -profit
entity and will no longer be operated solely as a PSH housing development. The conditional imposition
of the Park fees will be secured by liens on the properties.
Because of the high priority the City Council has placed on the development as PSH and the fact that
the New Leaf Community Services and Presbyterian Night Shelter of Tarrant County developments will
be operated on a not -for -profit basis, Development Services and Park & Recreation departments
support the deferring or waiving of fees so these projects may be developed. NSD thanks and
recognizes the Development Services and Park & Recreation departments for their commitment to
PSH.
