In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of Exhibit A and the terms and conditions set forth in the body of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. It is understood that City is not bound by any portion of Exhibit A and is only bound by the duties and obligation set forth in this Landlord Services Agreement. NOW THEREFORE, the Parties in exchange for the benefit received from the other Party's performance, agree to the following terms and conditions: 1. PROPERTY INFORMATION Tenant has entered into an agreement with Landlord to rent a two -bedroom ("Lease"). The unit is located at 2. TERM. This Agreement shall begin on June 27, 2025, and shall expire on May 31, 2026, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement ("Initial Term").

WORTH, TX 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 Den_ osit 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 $ 500.00 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 3.2.1 Rent. Initial Term: The City has been notified that the Tenant's Total Rent during the Initial Term is $1, 408.00 per month for the Unit. From June 27, 2025 to June 30, 2025, the Tenant's prorated rent is 187.73. From June 27, 2025 to June 30, 2025, the Tenant shall be responsible for $187.73 of prorated rent per month. From July 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025, the Tenant shall be responsible for $0.00 of rent per month.

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: I . 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 Landlord Agreement Page 3 of 14 3.2.5 Overpayments. If the City determines that the Landlord is not entitled to any payments received, in addition to other remedies the City may deduct the amount of the overpayment from any amounts due the Landlord, including the amounts due under any other Rental Assistance Agreement. 4. TERMINATION. 4.1. Termination of Tenancy: The Landlord may terminate its lease with the Tenant 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 writing within two business days of notifying the Tenant. This may be done by providing City with a copy of the required notice to the tenant. This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date the tenant's lease terminates. 4.2 Termination of Landlord Services Agreement 4.2.1 Written Notice. The City may terminate this Agreement immediately in writing in the event that Landlord breaches this Agreement.

The City of Fort Worth 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 program year's budget.

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.

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.

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.

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. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc review.asp?ID=32258&councildate=6/25/2024 7/8/2024 M&C Review Page 6 of 6 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.
