Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants Operating State Fund in the approximate amount of $588,583.00, or the adjusted amount if applicable, subject to the receipt of the grant, for the purpose of reducing chronic and youth homelessness and providing a safety net. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to approve grants and related agreements for three different categories of services directed to individuals experiencing homelessness. General 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 municipalities with a population of 285,500 or greater, including the City of Fort Worth (City). The 2024 HHSP amount allocated to the City is approximately $393,628.00. The HHSP funds may be used to provide rental assistance, case management and other services or housing options to reduce homelessness. Previously the City has had a subgrant agreement with The Housing Authority of the City of Fort Worth doing business as Fort Worth Housing Solutions to pay rental assistance for permanent supportive housing (PSH) clients. Case management for these clients was largely provided by My Health, My Resources of Tarrant County (MHMR) and funded through the City's Directions Home program. In order to streamline the program by having one agency provide both case management and rental assistance, this year the City will enter into a subgrant agreement with MHMR for rental assistance for at least 30 PSH clients. Youth The 2024 HHSP-Youth amount allocated to the City is approximately $130,851.00. Eligible services include case management, emergency shelter, street outreach and transitional living. CitySquare, through its Transition Resource Action Center (TRAC) program, currently provides rental assistance and case management for young adults in the HHSP-Youth program. The TRAC program has expanded and become its own separate 501 c3. The City will enter into a subgrant agreement with TRAC to provide rental assistance and case management for at least 8 young adults annually. There will be no service disruption for clients. Endina Homelessness The 2024 Ending Homelessness amount allocated to the City is approximately $64,104.00. Eligible services are similar to the HHSP program. The City will enter into a subgrant agreement with When We Love to provide temporary cold weather overflow shelter on nights between October 15, 2023 and March 31, 2024 when weather triggers are met and regular shelter beds are full. The TDHCA has indicated that recently passed legislation may cause the award amounts to be adjusted. 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 reduce chronic and youth homelessness and support the safety net 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, 2023. The Neighborhood Services Department will administer the HHSP, HHSP-Youth and Ending Homelessness funds and monitor the sub -grantees, MHMR, TRAC and When We Love. The subgrant agreements will be from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024. Since no City salaries will be charged, indirect cost recovery does not apply. An Assistant City Manager is authorized to execute the agreements associated with these grants. 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 MHMR. A Form 1295 is required for TRAC and When We Love. 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, in the Grant Operating State 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.
