RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council
1. Authorize the City Manager to accept additional funds from the Texas Department of Housing and
Community Affairs (TDHCA) in the amount of $156,205 for the period of April 1, 2001, through

DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth has operated a Weatherization Assistance Program funded by TDHCA on a
grant basis since 1982. The program serves low-income residents in Tarrant County, primarily persons
with disabilities and the elderly, by weatherizing their homes.
Weatherization measures include attic insulation, weather-stripping, caulking, window and door repair
or replacement and other minor repairs. A maximum of $2,568 in weatherization funds can be
expended per home during Program Year 2001-2003.
The proposed funding of $156,205 represents additional weatherization funding made available by
TDHCA under the Department of Energy and Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. The
notice of funding was received in mid-February 2003.
The Housing Department has been operating under the original contract in the amount of $350,874,
approved by the City Council on June 5, 2001 (M&C C-18611).
This project is available county-wide.
