To the best of the Landlord's knowledge, the unit is used solely as the Tenant's principal place of residence. 3.2.4 Method of Payment. Payments made electronically (i.e.- the City's Automated Clearing House network) provide more protection against theft and fraud and can be processed more quickly by the City. If Landlord registers to be paid under this Agreement electronically, City payments will generally be made on or about the first day of the month for which the payment is due. Payments for the first month may be somewhat delayed as a result of the registration and initial set-up process. If Landlord requests payment under this Agreement by paper check, City payments will be made as promptly as possible following the first day of the month for which payment is due. If Landlord request payment by check, Landlord assumes all liabilities related to theft, fraud, and late payments. If Landlord elects to receive electronic payments, Landlord will not assess any late fee against Tenant or City for late payments by City so long as payments are made within thirty (30) days of the day payment is due. If Landlord elects to receive payment by paper check, under no circumstances shall late fees be assessed against Tenant or City for late payment by the City. 3.2.5 Overpayments. If the City determines that the Landlord is not entitled to any payments received, in addition to other remedies the City may deduct the amount of the overpayment from any amounts due the Landlord, including the amounts due under any other Rental Assistance Agreement.

While the information must be distributed to residents before they become obligated under the lease for most types of housing built before 1978, it does not mean that the dwelling contains lead -based paint (LBP).The brochure was written in general terms and applies to both home purchasers and renters. The information outlines action that can be taken to test for, remove or abate LBP in a dwelling. The TAA Lease Contract ("Lease") specifically prohibits a resident from performing this type of work —only the dwelling owner may do so under the Lease.lfyou have any questions about the presence of LBP in your dwelling, please contact the owner or management company before taking any action to test, abate or remove LBP.

Department of Housing VOE ap and Urban Development Simple Steps to Protect Your Family from Lead Hazards If you thinkyour home has lead -based paint: • Don't try to remove lead -based paint yourself. • Always keep painted surfaces in good condition to minimize deterioration. • Get your home checked for lead hazards. Find a certified inspector or risk assessor at epa.gov/lead. • Talk to your landlord about fixing surfaces with peeling or chipping paint. • Regularly clean Floors, window sills, and other surfaces. • Take precautions to avoid exposure to lead dust when remodeling. • When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state - approved Lead -Safe certified renovation firms. • Before buying, renting, or renovating your home, have It checked for lead -based paint. • Consult your health care provider about testing your children for lead. Your pediatrician can check for lead with a simple blood test. • Wash children's hands, bottles, pacifiers, and toys often. • Make sure children eat healthy, low -fat foods high in iron, calcium, and vitamin C. • Remove shoes or wipe soil off shoes before entering your house. Are You Planning to Buy or Rent a Home Built Before 1978? Did you know that many homes built before 1978 have lead -based paint? Lead from paint, chips, and dust can pose serious health hazards. Read this entire brochure to learn: • How lead gets into the body How lead affects health • What you can do to protect your family • Where to go for more information Before renting or buying a pre-1978 home or apartment, federal law requires: • Sellers must disclose known information on lead -based paint or lead - based paint hazards before selling a house. • Real estate sales contracts must Include a specificwarning statement about lead -based paint. Buyers have up to 10 days to check for lead. • Landlords must disclose known information on lead -based paint or lead -based paint hazards before leases take effect. Leases must Include a specific warning statement about lead -based paint. If undertaking renovations, repairs, or painting (RRP) projects in your pre-1978 home or apartment: • Read EPA's pamphlet, The Lead -Safe Certified Guide to Renovate Right, to learn about the lead -safe work practices that contractors are required to follow when working In your home (see page 12). Lead Gets into the Body in Many Ways Adults and children can get lead into their bodies if they: • Breathe in lead dust (especially during activities such as renovations, repairs, or painting that disturb painted surfaces). • Swallow lead dust that has settled on food, food preparation surfaces, and other places. • Eat paint chips or soil that contains lead. Lead is especially dangerous to children underthe age of 6. • At this age, children's brains and nervous systems are more sensitive to the i damaging effects of lead. p • Children's growing bodies absorb more lead. t ' • Babies and young children often put their hands _ and other objects in their — <. mouths.These objects can have lead dust on them. Women of childbearing age should know that lead is dangerous to a developing fetus. • Women with a high lead level in their system before or during pregnancy risk exposing the fetus to lead through the placenta during fetal development. 0 TExAs APARTMENT ASSOCIATION, INc„ 2021 1,/( Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 419291522 1 PAGE 1 OF 5 Health Effects of Lead Check Your Family for Lead Lead affects the body in many ways. It is important to know that even exposure to low levels of lead can severely harm children. In children, exposure to lead can cause: e w x rv<m wsr Hea,Ma Nervous system and kidney damage Learning disabilities, attention -deficit disorder, and decreased intelligence sn«a Speech, language, and behavior \a. problems Poor muscle coordination Decreased muscle and bone growth Hearing damage oymvl.< ^ While low -lead exposure is most common, r poa nn< exposure to high amounts of lead can have ows,i devastating effects on children, including seizures, unconsciousness, and in some cases, death. Although children are especially susceptible to lead exposure, lead can be dangerous for adults, too. In adults, exposure to lead can cause: Harm to a developing fetus Increased chance of high blood pressure during pregnancy Fertility problems (in men and women) High blood pressure Digestive problems Nerve disorders Memory and concentration problems Muscle and joint pain Where Lead -Based Paint Is Found In general, the older your home or childcare facility, the more likely it has lead -based paint! 3 Many homes, Including private, federally -assisted, federally - owned housing, and childcare facilities built before 1978 have lead -based paint. In 1978, the federal government banned consumer uses of lead -containing paint' Learn how to determine If paint Is lead -based paint on page 7. Lead can be found: In homes and childcare facilities in the city, country, or suburbs, In private and public single-family homes and apartments, On surfaces Inside and outside of the house, and In soil around a home. (Soil can pick up lead from exterior paint or other sources, such as past use of leaded gas in cars.) Learn more about where lead is found at epa.govAead. Get your children and home tested If you think your home has lead. Children's blood lead levels tend to increase rapidly from 6 to 12 months of age, and tend to peak at 18 to 24 months of age. Consult your doctor for advice on testing your children. A simple blood test can detect lead. Blood lead tests are usually recommended for: Children at ages 1 and 2 Children or other family members who have been exposed to high levels of lead Children who should be tested under your state or local health screening plan Your doctor can explain what the test results mean and if more testing will be needed. 4 Identifying Lead -Based Paint and Lead -Based Paint Hazards Deteriorated lead -based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, or damaged paint) Is a hazard and needs immediate attention. Lead -based paint may also be a hazard when found on surfaces that children can chew or that get a lot of wear and tear, such as: On windows and window sills • Doors and door frames Stairs, railings, banisters, and porches Lead -based paint is usually not a hazard if it is in good condition and Ifit is not on an impact or friction surface like a window. Lead dust can form when lead -based paint is scraped, sanded, or heated. Lead dust also forms when painted surfaces containing lead bump or rub together. Lead paint chips and dust can get on surfaces and objects that people touch. Settled lead dust can reenter the air when the home is vacuumed or swept, orwhen people walk through it. EPA currently defines the following levels of lead in dust as hazardous: 10 micrograms per square foot (pg/ft2) and higherfor Floors, including carpeted floors 100 µg/ft2 and higher for interior window sills Lead in soil can be a hazard when children play in bare soil or when people bring soil into the house on their shoes. EPA currently defines the following levels of lead In soil as hazardous: 400 parts per million (ppm) and higher In play areas of bare soil • 1,200 ppm (average) and higher in bare soil In the remainder of the yard �•Lead-based palnt•is currently defined by the federal government as paint with Remember, lead from paint chips —which you can see —and lead lead levels greaterthan or equal to 1.0 milligram per square centimeter(mg/cm'), or dust —which you may not be able to see —both can be hazards, more than 0.5%by weight. '•Lead-containingpaint'is currently defined by the federal government as lead In new The only way to find out If paint, dust, or soil lead hazards exist is to dried paint In excess of 90 parts per million (ppm) by weight, test for them. The next page describes how to do this. 5 6 GTExAs APARTMENT ASSOCIATION, INC., 2021 I,/( Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 419291522PAGE 2 OF 5 Checking Your Home for Lead You can get your home tested for lead in several different ways: A lead -based paint inspection tellsyou if your home has lead - based paint and where it Is located. It won't tell you whether your home currently has lead hazards. A trained and certified testing professional, called a lead -based paint inspector, will conduct a paint inspection using methods, such as: • Portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) machine Lab tests of paint samples A risk assessment tells you if your home currently has any lead hazards from lead In paint, dust, or soil. It also tells you what actions to take to address any hazards. A trained and certified testing professional, called a risk assessor, will: Sample paint that is deteriorated on doors, windows, floors, stairs, and walls Sample dust near painted surfaces and sample bare soil in the yard Get lab tests of paint, dust, and soil samples • A combination inspection and risk assessment tells you if your home has any lead -based paint and if your home has any lead hazards, and where both are located. Be sure to read the report provided to you after your inspection or risk assessment is completed, and ask questions about anything you do not understand. What You Can Do Now to Protect Your Family Ifyou suspect that your house has lead -based paint hazards, you can take some immediate steps to reduce yourfamily's risk: If you rent, notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint. Keep painted surfaces clean and free of dust. Clean floors, window frames, window sills, and other surfaces weekly. Use a mop or sponge with warm water and a general all-purpose cleaner. (Remember: never mix ammonia and bleach products together because they can form a dangerous gas.) Carefully clean up paint chips immediately without creating dust. Thoroughly rinse sponges and mop heads often during cleaning of dirty or dusty areas, and again afterward. Wash your hands and your children's hands often, especially before they eat and before nap time and bed time. Keep play areas clean. Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed animals regularly. Keep children from chewing window sills or other painted surfaces, or eating soil. When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state - approved Lead -Safe Certified renovation firms (see page 12). Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking in lead from soil. Make sure children eat nutritious, low -fat meals high in iron, and calcium, such as spinach and dairy products. Children with good diets absorb less lead. Checking Your Home for Lead, continued In preparing for renovation, repair, or painting work Ina pre-1978 home, Lead -Safe Certified renovators (seepage 12) may: • Take paint chip samples to determine if lead -based paint is present in the area planned for renovation and send them to an EPA -recognized lead lab for analysis. In housing receiving federal assistance, the person collecting these samples must be a certified lead -based paint inspector or risk assessor Use EPA -recognized tests kits to determine If lead -based paint is absent (but not in housing receiving federal assistance) Presume that lead -based paint is present and use lead -safe work practices There are state and federal programs in place to ensure that testing is done safely, reliably, and effectively.

Reducing Lead Hazards Disturbing lead -based paint or I. , removing lead improperly can increase the hazard to your family by spreading even more lead dust around \ the i-- the house. • In addition to day-to-day cleaning and good nutrition, you can temporarily reduce lead -based paint hazards bytaking actions, such as repairing damaged painted surfaces and planting grass to cover lead - contaminated soil.These actions are not permanent solutions and will need ongoing attention. • You can minimize exposure to lead when renovating, repairing, or painting by hiring an EPA -or state - certified renovator who is trained in the use of lead -safe work practices.lfyou are a do-it-yourselfer, learn how to use lead -safe work practices in your home. • To remove lead hazards permanently, you should hire a certified lead abatement contractor. Abatement (or permanent hazard elimination) methods include removing, sealing, or enclosing lead -based paint with special materials. Just painting over the hazard with regular paint is not permanent control. Always use a certified contractor who is trained to address lead hazards safely. • Hire a Lead -Safe Certified firm (see page 12) to perform renovation, repair, or painting (RRP) projects that disturb painted surfaces. To correct lead hazards permanently, hire a certified lead abatement contractor.This will ensure your contractor knows how to work safely and has the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly. Certified contractors will employ qualified workers and follow strict safety rules as set by their state or by the federal government. ©TEXAS APARTMENT ASSOCIATION, INc., 2021 V Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 419291522 1 PAGE 3 OF 5 Reducing Lead Hazards, continued Renovating, Repairing or Painting a Home with Lead -Based Paint If your home has had lead abatement work done or if the housing Is receiving federal assistance, once the work is completed, dust cleanup activities must be conducted until clearance testing Indicates that lead dust levels are below the following levels: • 10 micrograms per square foot (µg/ftz) for floors, including carpeted floors 100 pg/ft2 for interior windows sills 400 µg/ft2 for window troughs Abatements are designed to permanently eliminate lead -based paint hazards. However, lead dust can be reintroduced into an abated area. Use a HEPA vacuum on all furniture and other items returned to the area, to reduce the potential for reintroducing lead dust. Regularly clean floors, window sills, troughs, and other hard surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge and a general all-purpose cleaner. Please see page 9 for more information on steps you can take to protect your home after the abatement. For help In locating certified lead abatement professionals In your area, call your state or local agency (see pages 15 and 16), epa.govAead, or call 1-800-424-LEAD. Other Sources of Lead Lead in Drinking Water The most common sources of lead in drinking water are lead pipes, faucets, and fixtures. Lead pipes are more likely to be found in older cities and homes built before 1986. You can't smell ortaste lead in drinking water. To find out for certain if you have lead in drinking water, have your water tested. Remember older homes with a private well can also have plumbing materials that contain lead. Important Steps You Can Take to Reduce Lead in Drinking Water Use only cold water for drinking, cooking and making baby formula. Remember, boiling water does not remove lead from water, Before drinking, flush your home's pipes by running the tap, taking a shower, doing laundry, or doing a load of dishes. Regularly clean yourfaucet's screen (also known as an aerator). If you use a filter certified to remove lead, don't forget to read the directions to learn when to change the cartridge. Using a filter after it has expired can make it less effective at removing lead. Contact your water company to determine if the pipe that connects your home to the water main (called a service line) is made from lead. Your area's water company can also provide information about the lead levels in your system's drinking water. For more information about lead in drinking water, please contact EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. If you have other questions about lead poisoning prevention, call 1-800424-LEAD.* Call your local health department or water company to find out about testing your water, or visit epa.gov/safewater for EPA's lead in drinking water information.

If neither box is checked, you should assume the unit is in a 100-year floodplain. Even if the unit is not in a 100-year floodplain, the unit may still be susceptible to flooding. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maintains a flood map on its Internet website that is searchable by address, at no cost, to determine if a unit is located in a flood hazard area. Most renter's insurance policies do not cover damages or loss incurred in a flood. You should seek insurance coverage that would cover losses caused by a flood. We O are or ® are not aware that the unit you are renting has flooded (per the statutory definition below) at least once within the last five years. As defined in Texas Property Code 92.0135(a)(2), "flooding" means "a general or temporary condition of a partial or complete inundation of a dwelling caused by. (A) the overflow of inland or tidal waters; (8) the unusual and rapid accumulation of runoff or surface waters from any established water source such as a river, stream, or drainage ditch; or (C) excessive rainfall."

No. in the The Ridqmar LLC Apartments in Fort Worth Texas OR the house, duplex, etc, located at (street address) , Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the term of the Lease and this addendum conflict. ?. Required Insurance Policy. In accordance with the Lease, you understand and agree that this addendum requires Resident, at Resident's sole expense, to buy and maintain a liability insurance policy during the entire Lease term and any renewal periods that provides limits of liability to third parties in amount not less than % 3.00000.00 per occurrence. The liability insurance policy Resident buys and maintains must cover the actions or inactions of Resident and your occupants and guests, and be issued or underwritten by a carrier of your choice licensed to do business in Texas. The required insurance policy must identify the Owner identified in the Lease (or another entity designated by Owner) as an "Interested Party' or "Party of Interest" that will be notified by the insurer of any cancellation, non - renewal, or material change in your coverage no later than 30 days after such action. You must provide us written proof of compliance with the Lease and this addendum on or prior to the Lease commencement date; and if you do not you will not be granted possession of the Premises. You must also provide us written proof of compliance within 7 days of our written request at any other time we request it. 3. Acknowledgement. You acknowledge that Owner does not acquire or maintain insurance for Resident's benefit or which is designed to insure you for personal injury, loss or damage to your personal property or belongings, or your own liability for injury, loss or damage that you (or your occupants or guests) may cause others. Any insurance policy that insures you for personal injury, loss or damage to your personal property or belongings, or provide you coverage for your own liability for injury, loss or damage that you (or your occupants or guests) may cause others must be bought and maintained solely by you. We do not and are not able to provide you with information on insurance coverage, rates, or terms and conditions. You should instead seek such information from a licensed insurance company, licensed insurance agent, other licensed insurance professional, or the Texas Department of Insurance. The Texas Department of Insurance website at www.tdi.texas.gov may contain useful consumer information regarding renter's insurance. You further acknowledge that we have made no referrals, guarantees, representations or promises whatsoever concerning any insurance or services provided by any insurance company. At all times you have been and remain free to contract for the required insurance with the insurance carrier of your choosing. 4. Default. You understand and agree that your failure to comply with either the requirements specified in the Lease, this addendum, or both is a material breach by you of the Lease and a default of the Lease for which Owner may sue you for eviction. If you fail to buy and maintain insurance as required by the Lease and this addendum, we may, in our sole discretion, agree to refrain from filing an eviction against you for your default for not having the appropriate insurance in place upon payment by you to Owner of $ 3.00. 00 (which you agree is not a liquidated damages amount and which sum shall only apply to each month (or part thereof) you remain in breach of this insurance addendum). Owner will agree to forego commencement of an eviction based upon non-compliance with this addendum for a one -month period, during which you shall come into compliance with this addendum. Our choice to accept money from you to forego pursuit of an eviction for one month does not require us to accept money from you or forego pursuit of our remedies under this paragraph for any subsequent months. The foregoing payments are due on the 1st day of the month following the calendar month (or part thereof) during which you do not have the required insurance, with no grace period. PAYMENT OF SAID AMOUNT DOES NOT RELIEVE YOU OF YOUR OBLIGATION TO BUY AND MAINTAIN INSURANCE AS SUMMARIZED IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF THIS ADDENDUM, DOES NOT CURE THE MATERIAL BREACH AND DEFAULT DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, AND DOES NOT RELIEVE YOU OF ANY OBLIGATION TO COMPENSATE US OR ANY OTHER PARTY INJURED OR DAMAGED BY THE ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF RESIDENT OR YOUR OCCUPANTS OR GUESTS. You further understand that we will not buy an insurance policy for you or for your benefit, and that nothing in this Lease shall be considered an agreement by Owner to furnish you with any insurance coverage. NOTICE TO RESIDENT: YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THATTHE REQUIRED INSURANCE POLICY UNDER THIS ADDENDUM DOES NOT PROTECT YOU AGAINST LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY OR BELONGINGS. YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO BUY INSURANCE THAT COVERS YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY.

Copyright 2015, Texas Apartment Association, Inc. _ I✓I Blue Moon esiRnature Services Document ID: 419291522 f LEASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING WATER/WASTEWATER COSTS 1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the The Ridcrmar LLC Apartments in Fort Worth Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict. 2. Reason for allocation. When water and wastewater bills are paid 100 percent by the property owner, residents have no incentive to conserve water. This results in a waste of our state's natural resources and adds to the overhead of the property —and that usually means higher rents. Allocation of water bills saves money for residents because it encourages them to conserve water and wastewater. We as owners also have incentive to conserve because we are required by law to pay a portion of the total water bill(s) for the entire apartment community. 3. Your payment due date. Payment of your allocated water/wastewater bill is due 16 days after the date it is postmarked or hand delivered to your apartment. You agree to mail or deliver payment to the place indicated on your bill so that payment is received no later than the due date. You will pay a late charge of 5 percent of your water/wastewater bill if we don't receive timely payment. If you are late in paying the water bill, we may not cut off your water; but we may immediately exercise all other lawful remedies, including eviction —just like late payment of rent. 4. Allocation procedures. Your monthly rent under the TAA Lease Contract does not include a charge for water and wastewater. Instead, you will be receiving a separate bill from us each month for such utilities. We may include this item as a separate and distinct charge as part of a multi -item bill. We will allocate the monthly mastermeter water/wastewater bill(s) for the apartment community, based on an allocation method approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUG) and described below. The allocation method that we will use in calculating your bill is noted below and described in the following subdivision of Section 24.281 of the PUC rules (check only one): ❑ subdivision (i) actual occupancy; M subdivision (ii) ratio occupancy (PUC average for number of occupants in unit); ❑ subdivision (iii)average occupancy (PUC average for number of bedrooms in unit); ❑ subdivision (iv)combination of actual occupancy and square feet of the apartment; or ❑ subdivision (v) submetered hot/cold water, ratio to total. The normal date on which the utility company sends its monthly bill to us for the water/wastewater mastermeter is about the day of the month. Within 10 days thereafter, we will try to allocate that mastermeter bill among our residents by allocated billings. s. Common area deduction. We will calculate your allocated share of the mastermetered water/wastewater bill according to PUC rules. Before calculating your portion of the bill, we will deduct for irrigation of landscaping and all other common area uses, as required by PUC rules. We will also deduct for any utility company base charges and customer service charges so that you won't be paying any part of such charges for vacant units. No administrative or other fees will be added to the total mastermeter water/wastewater bill(s) to be allocated unless expressly allowed by PUC rules. No other amounts will be included in the bill except your unpaid balances and any late fees you incur. If we fail to pay our mastermeter bill to the utility company on time and incur penalties or interest, no portion of such amounts will be included in your bill. s. Change of allocation formula. The above allocation formula for determining your share of the mastermetered water/ wastewater bill cannot be changed except as follows: (1) the new formula is one approved by the PUC; (2) you receive notice of the new formula at least 35 days before it takes effect; and (3) you agree to the change in a signed lease renewal or signed mutual agreement. 7. Previous average. As required under PUC rules, you are notified that the average monthly bill for all dwelling units in the previous calendar year was $ per unit, varying from $ to $ for the lowest to highest month's bills for any unit in the apartment community for this period, if such information is available. The above amounts do not reflect future changes in utility company water rates, weather variations, total water consumption, residents' water consumption habits, etc. a. Right to examine records. During regular weekday office hours, you may examine: (1) our waterlwastewater bills from the utility company; (2) our calculations of your monthly allocations; and (3) any other information available to you under PUC rules. Please give us reasonable advance notice to gather the data. Any disputes relating to the computation of your bill will be between you and us. s. PUC. Water allocation billing is regulated by the PUC. A copy of the rules is attached. This addendum complies with those rules. lo.Conservation efforts. We agree to use our best efforts to repair any water leaks inside or outside your apartment no later than 7 days after learning of them. You agree to use your best efforts to conserve water and notify us of leaks.

(2) To calculate a tenant's bill: (A) for an apartment house, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (I) the numberof occupants in the tenant's dwelling unit divided by the total number of occupants in all dwelling units at the beginning of the month for which bills are being rendered; or (ii) the number of occupants In the tenant's dwelling unit using a ratio occupancy formula divided by the total number of occupants in all dwelling units at the beginning of the retail public utility's billing period using the same ratio occupancy formula to determine the total. The ratio occupancy formula will reflect what the owner believes more accurately represents the water use in units that are occupied by multiple tenants. The ratio occupancy formula that Is used must assign a fractional portion per tenant of no less than that on the following scale: (1) dwelling unit with one occupant = 1; (II) dwelling unit with two occupants =1.6; (III) dwelling unit with three occupants = 2.2; or (IV) dwelling unit with more than three occupants = 2.2 + 0.4 per each additional occupant over three; or (Ill) the average number of occupants per bedroom, which shall be determined by the following occupancy formula.

The square footage portion must be based on the total square footage living area of the dwelling unit as a percentage of the total square footage living area of all dwelling units of the apartment house; or (v) the individually submetered hot or cold water usage of the tenants dwelling unit divided by all submetered hot or cold water usage in all dwelling units; (B) a condominium manager shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by any of the factors under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph or may follow the methods outlined in the condominium contract; (C) for a manufactured home rental community, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (i) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; or (il) the area of the Individual rental space divided by the total area of all rental spaces; and (D) for a multiple use facility, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (i) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; or (11) the square footage of the rental space divided by the total square footage of all rental spaces. (3) If a tenant moves In or out during a billing period, the owner may calculate a bill for the tenant. if the tenant moves in during a billing period, the owner shall prorate the bill by calculating a bill as If the tenant were there for the whole month and then charging the tenant for only the number of days the tenant lived In the unit divided by the number of days in the month multiplied by the calculated bill. If a tenant moves out during a billing period before the owner receives the bill for that period from the retail public utility, the owner may calculate a final bill. The owner may calculate the tenants bill by calculating the tenants average bill forthe last three months and multiplying that average bill by the number of days the tenant was in the unit divided by the number of days In that month.

Always use your card to gain entry. • Report to management the vehicle license plate number of any vehicle that piggybacks through the gate. • Never force the gate open with your car. • Never get out of your vehicle while the gates are opening or closing. • If you are using the gates with a boat or trailer, please contact management for assistance. The length and width of the trailer may cause recognition problems with the safety loop detector and could cause damage. • Do not operate the gate if there are small children nearby who might get caught in it as it opens or closes. • If you lose your card, please contact the management office immediately. • Do not give your card or code to anyone else. • Do not tamper with gate or allow your occupants to tamper or play with gates.

DISCUSSION: The City of Fort Worth's (City's) 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan assesses community and affordable housing needs and sets strategic priorities and goals for use of federal grants funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a five-year period. These priorities and goals are to be addressed with Annual Action Plans that summarize the major housing and community development activities and proposed expenditures for each of the five years. These priorities and goals were developed to be consistent with strategies and initiatives previously adopted by the City Council, as well as through an assessment of community needs. This included Citywide public meetings conducted by JQuad Planning Group, the consultant contracted to prepare the Consolidated Plan in collaboration with the Neighborhood Services Department staff. The recommended Consolidated Plan priorities and goals for use of HUD grant funds over the next five years are summarized below.

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. A Request for Proposals from social service agencies and nonprofit organizations seeking grant funding was published on February 1, 2023. All proposals were received on March 15, 2023. Staff reviewed all proposals and developed recommendations for the allocation of estimated funding from HUD based on the capacity of applicant organizations, grant experience, fiscal stability, and compliance with applicable federal regulations. One public hearing was held on April 12, 2023 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 10, 2023. These funding recommendations were presented in City Council Work Session on August 1, 2023. A 30-day public comment period was held from June 30, 2023 to July 31, 2023. Notice of this public comment period was published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on June 29, 2023; in the Cleburne Times Review on July 6; in the Weatherford Democrat on July 8; and in La Vida News on July 13. Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in accordance with federal regulations. The City held two public hearings as a part of the HUD required citizen participation process. The first public hearing was held by staff on July 12, 2023, and the second public hearing is scheduled for the City Council on August 8, 2023. A summary of staffs final funding recommendations is provided below in Tables 1,2, and 3. A Powerpoint presentation listing funding recommendations is also attached. The 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD by August 15, 2023.

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. Alternatives 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.
