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

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

Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs. 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.
Indirect costs totaling approximately $393,106.92 could be charged to these grants, as the Neighborhood
Services Department indirect cost rate is 28.10\% in the City's most recent Cost Allocation Plan. A waiver
of these costs is requested to allow allocation of these funds to further support the programs and services
to assist low-to-moderate income citizens.
Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) 22-0569 dated August 9, 2022 increased the annual funding
amount of the City's Priority Repair Program (PRP) from $1,100,000.00 to $2,000,000.00. Approval of
this M&C authorizes an additional increase of annual funding from $2,000,000.00 to $2,500,000.00. This
will require an increase in the expenditure authority for the PRP and the contracting authority for PRP
agreements, resulting in an annual increase of $500,000.00. A total five year (Fiscal Years 2023-2027)
contract authority of $46,858,546.53 for PRP is necessary to facilitate the increase in funding from CDBG.

All figures have been rounded to the nearest dollar for presentation purposes. These programs are
available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
Each of these grants is an entitlement grant rather than a competitive grant received from the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). 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.
