RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

Local Fiscal Recovery Funds) to the agencies listed in Tables 1 and 2 below;
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute contracts with the agencies listed in Tables 1 and 2

DISCUSSION:
In March 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), providing aid and relief to various sectors
of the national economy. The City of Fort Worth will receive a total allocation of ARPA funds in an amount exceeding
$173.7 million, to be disbursed in two batches or "tranches." The first tranche was received May 19, 2021, and the
second tranche is expected to be received on or after May 19, 2022. Subsequently, on June 22, 2021, the City Council
approved Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 21-0445, establishing a general framework for the use of ARPA
funds. Funding must be obligated by December 31, 2024 and fully expended by December 31, 2026.
Allocation of ARPA Subtitle M Fundinq
Responding to the negative economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic is a specifically identified use of ARPA dollars
under Section 603(c)(1)(A) of Title VI of the Social Security Act (added by ARPA). Treasury Department guidance
specifically notes that these Fiscal Recovery Funds can be deployed for a broad range of uses to address "the
disproportionate .... economic impacts of the crisis on the hardest -hit communities, populations, and households" and to
provide services and additional investments in Qualified Census Tracts, such as the ones in which the identified projects
are located. Therefore, it has been determined that paying for the listed activities in order to improve access to quality,
affordable housing and child care services are eligible uses of funds as a response to negative economic impact and an
investment in housing and neighborhoods in a Qualified Census Tract.
Several local agencies submitted proposals for affordable housing and human services projects totaling $31.4 million.
City staff has reviewed these proposals with respect to financial feasibility, community need, and eligibility under ARPA
Section 9901, Subsections 603(c)(1)(A) and 603(c)(1)(C), providing funding to aid disproportionately impacted
communities and to support governmental services adversely impacted by the pandemic. As a result, City
staff recommends that we allocate funding to seven projects as follows.

By approval of this M&C, the Ci y Council finds that the expenditure of the funds on the listed projects serve vital public
purposes for residents of Fort Worth and that the contracts executed between the parties will provide adequate controls
to ensure the public purposes are fulfilled. Specifically, funds provided to Fort Worth Housing Solutions and Trinity
Habitat for Humanity serve the public purpose of supporting the provision of quality, affordable housing in the City that
meets all required zoning, codes, and infrastructure requirements. Additionally, the funds provided to Child Care
Associates will provide needed child care services and programming to residents in need of such critical services.
Approval of this M&C will allocate $10,100,000.00 in the American Rescue Plan Act project in the Grants Operating
Federal Fund budget. Necessary reporting and documentation requirements will be followed to ensure the City can
comply with all reporting requirements of the ARPA legislation.

SUBJECT. (CD 5) Authorize a Change in Location for Child Care Associate's New Early Learning
Center in Stop Six, Previously Appropriated with American Rescue Plan Act Funds
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council authorize a change in location for Child Care Associate's Early
Childhood Learning Facility from the future Stop Six hub to another suitable site in the Stop Six
Neighborhood.
DISCUSSION:
On March 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), providing aid and
relief to various sectors of the national economy. The City of Fort Worth received a total allocation
of ARPA funds in an amount exceeding $173.7 million, to be disbursed in two batches or "tranches."
The first tranche was received May 19, 2021, and the second tranche was received June 6, 2022.
On June 22, 2021, the City Council approved Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 21-
0445, establishing a general framework for the use of ARPA funds. All ARPA funding must be
obligated by December 31, 2024 and fully expended by December 31, 2026.
On October 19, 2021, through M&C 21-0814, the City Council allocated $5,000,000.00 inARPA funds
to Child Care Associates (CCA) for the purpose of building a new Early Learning Center at the future
Stop Six Hub to expand access to infant, toddler, and three-year old services in Stop Six. In 2023,
community stakeholders and the Council Member for District 5 questioned whether the Stop Six Hub
was a suitable site for Child Care Associates' operations, prompting CCA to seek an alternate location
for the center. Currently, the project is in the predevelopment/architectural phase for the center's
buildings, and environmental due diligence has been completed on a potential new location.
Approval of this M&C authorizes Child Care Associates to change the location for the Early Childcare
Center from the Stop Six Hub to another suitable site in the Stop Six Neighborhood while
maintaining their $5,000,000.00 ARPA award. Necessary reporting and documentation requirements
will be followed to ensure the City and Child Care Associates will comply with all reporting
requirements and obligation and expenditure deadlines of the ARPA legislation.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of this recommendation will have no material effect on
City funds.
