review and approval of request by both Tenant and Landlord under the same terms and conditions,
provided however that the rental rate and any amounts payable by City shall be provided to the
City in writing for the new term at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the renewal term.
3. COMPENSATION.
3.1 Security Deposit
The Tenant shall pay a security deposit for the Unit to the Landlord in accordance with the
Tenant's lease, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Landlord will hold this security deposit during
the period the Tenant occupies the dwelling unit under the Lease. The Landlord shall comply with
state and local laws regarding interest payments on security deposits.
After the Tenant has moved from the dwelling unit, the Landlord may, subject to state and
local law, use the security deposit, including any interest on the deposit, as reimbursement for rent
or any other amounts payable by the Tenant under the Lease. The Landlord will give the Tenant a
written list of all items charged against the security deposit and the amount of each item. After
deducting the amount used as reimbursement to the Landlord, the Landlord shall promptly refund
the full amount of the balance to the Tenant.
The named Tenant may be eligible for security deposit payment assistance payable to
Landlord. In the event that the City pays the security deposit for the Unit on behalf of the Tenant
under a federally funded program (including the Permanent Housing Placement Program), after
deducting the amount used as reimbursement to the Landlord, the Landlord will promptly refund
the full amount of the balance to the City in accordance with HUD regulations. This does not limit
Landlord's right to withhold any portion of the deposit that would normally be withheld at
termination under the terms of the underlying lease. Based upon the City's review, City will pay a
$0.00 security deposit, to be paid directly to the Landlord.
The Landlord shall immediately notify the City when the Tenant has moved from the Unit.
3.2 Rent and Amounts Pavable by City

From June 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025, the Tenant shall be responsible for $0.00 of rent per
month. From July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, the Tenant shall be responsible for $1,111.00

Rental Assistance Landlord Agreement Page 2 of 14
A complete history of rental obligations due under this Agreement, per lease term, is
included in Attachment A. The City's sole obligation is limited to paying the City Portion of the
Rent in accordance with this Agreement. Tenant shall be liable for rent, payments, and other fees
associated with the Unit and City shall not be obligated by law or in equity for any amount other
than the City Portion.
3.2.2 Utilities. The named Tenant may be eligible for a utility reimbursement payable to
Landlord. The amount of the allowance has been calculated utilizing the Utility Allowance
Schedule established by the Tarrant County Housing Assistance Office/Fort Worth Housing
Solutions. Based upon the City's review, during the Initial Term, City will pay no more than $0.00
utility reimbursement per month toward the Tenant's utility payments, to be paid directly to the
Landlord.
3.2.3 Payment Conditions. The right of the Landlord to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to compliance with all of the provisions of the Agreement. The
Landlord's signature on this agreement shall be a certification that:
1. The Unit is in decent, safe and sanitary condition, and that the Landlord is providing
the services, maintenance and utilities agreed to in the Lease.
2. The Unit is leased to and occupied by the Tenant named above in this Agreement.
3. The Landlord has not received and will not receive any payments as rent for the
Unit other than those identified in this Agreement.
4. 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 of the initial term, and any subsequent renewals, 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. In the event that the lease is provided to the City after the payment
date, then 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 the lease is received by City. 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.

Rental Assistance Agreement.

only as authorized by and through and following applicable state and local laws. The Landlord
must give the Tenant at least 30 days' written notice of the termination and notify the City in

appropriated by City in any fiscal period for any payments due hereunder, City will notify Landlord
of such occurrence and this Agreement shall terminate on the last day of the fiscal period for which
appropriations were received without penalty or expense to City of any kind whatsoever, except
as to the portions of the payments herein agreed upon for which funds have been appropriated.
4.2.3 HUD Program Year Funding. The City agrees to commit funding for rental assistance
for a period of up to twelve (12) months, subject to the availability of funds allocated in the current

DISCUSSION:
The City's 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development
activities and proposed expenditures for the program year beginning October 1, 2024 and ending
September 30, 2025 for use of federal grant funds totaling $13,036,747.00 from the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and
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, 2024. All proposals were received on March 15, 2024. 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 10, 2024, 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 8, 2024.
A 30-day public comment period was held from May 15, 2024 to June 14, 2024. Notice of this public
comment period was published in La Vida News on May 9, 2024; in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on May
13, 2024; in Wise County Messenger on May 16, 2024; and in the Cleburne Times Review and the
Weatherford Democrat on May 18, 2024.
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 May 29, 2024, and the second public hearing is
scheduled for the City Council on June 25, 2024.
A summary of staff's final funding recommendations is provided below in Tables 1,2, and 3. A PowerPoint
presentation listing funding recommendations is also attached. The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan will be
submitted to HUD by August 15, 2024.
Indirect costs totaling approximately $341,260.45 could be charged to the CDBG grant, 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. This amount is calculated based on the
estimated salary expenses and other administrative costs for the CDBG program totaling $1,214,450.00.
This amount multiplied by the indirect cost rate of 28.10\% equals $341,260.45.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT

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 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.
These programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
