Section III -A — Explanation of Activitv Change
❑ Budget Adjustment
Girls Inc. currently delivers comprehensive services and programming focused on supporting
youth development. Previously funded under HUD Matrix Code 05D (Youth Services, ages
13-19), Girls Inc. will transition to HUD Matrix Code 05L (Child Care Services, ages 0-12) to
more accurately reflect the nature of the services provided to children and families. This
adjustment aligns the program with HUD -defined eligible activities, supporting continued
compliance and enhancing program effectiveness.
Section III-13— Explanation of Program Change
In addition to the Matrix code update, Girls Inc. is proposing the addition of a new service location to its existing list.
The Administrative Office, located at 304 E. Vickery Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76104, will be formally designated as a site
where services will be delivered to children from income -eligible families.
This location will be added to Exhibit A — Program Summary. The inclusion of this site will expand service
accessibility and enhance the organization's capacity to reach and support more eligible participants in a centralized,
resource -equipped environment.

Section III-D — Explanation of "Other" Type of Amendment
Section IV — Justification for Amendment
Provide a clear and detailed explanation of the reason(s) for each proposed revision. Include any relevant
background or programmatic changes that necessitate this amendment.
Matrix Code Correction: After reviewing the age eligibility requirements associated with the HUD Matrix codes, it was determined that the original
classification did not accurately reflect the population being served. The change to Matrix Code 05L — Child Care Services (0-12 years) ensures
proper alignment with HUD guidelines and accurately categorizes the services being provided to eligible children.
Addition of a Service Location: The inclusion of the Administrative Office at 304 E. Vickery Blvd. as an official service site is necessary to
accommodate program operations and expand access to services for income -eligible families. This location is actively used to deliver program
services and should be reflected in the official documentation to ensure compliance and transparency.
Together, these updates improve program accuracy, enhance service delivery, and ensure alignment with federal requirements.

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

approval.

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.
