DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to approve the acceptance of grant funding and related agreements for two
categories (general and youth) of services directed to individuals experiencing homelessness.
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).
General -
The 2025 HHSP amount allocated to the City is approximately $431,993.00. The HHSP funds may be used to provide rental assistance, case
management and other services or housing options to reduce homelessness. My Health, My Resources of Tarrant County (MHMR) is the City's
2024 HHSP subgrantee and also provides case management to the permanent supportive housing (PSH) clients. Pending a risk assessment
and City Council approval, the City will enter into a subgrant agreement with MHMR for rental assistance for at least 40 PSH clients in 2025.
Youth -
The 2025 HHSP-Youth amount allocated to the City is approximately $156,378.00. Eligible services include case management, emergency
shelter, street outreach and transitional living. Transition Resource Action Center (TRAC) is the City's 2024 HHSP-Youth subgrantee and provides
both rental assistance and case management to young adults age 18-24. Pending a risk assessment and City Council approval, the City will enter
into a subgrant agreement with TRAC for rental assistance and case management for at least 8 youth in 2025.
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 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, 2024. The Neighborhood Services Department will administer the HHSP and HHSP-Youth
funds and monitor the sub -grantees, MHMR and TRAC. The subgrant agreements will be from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025,
An Assistant City Manager is authorized to execute the contracts.
A Form 1295 is not required for the contracts with TDHCA and MHMR because: these contracts will be with a governmental entity, state agency or
public institution of higher education. A Form 1295 is required for the contract with TRAC.
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.
