Page 1 of 6M&C Review 7/8/2024http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc_review.asp?ID=32258&councildate=6/25/2024 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 For Program Year 2024-2025, it is recommended that the amount of $7,006,875.00 in CDBG funds and an estimated amount of $50,000.00 in CDBG program income totaling $7,056,875.00 be allocated as follows: Public Service Agencies - $1,051,031.00: Includes social services for low- and moderate-income persons, persons with disabilities, and disadvantaged persons Housing Programs - $2,930,000.00: Includes funding for the City's Priority Repair Program, Cowtown Brush-Up, and accessibility modifications for seniors and persons with disabilities Major Projects - $644,469.00: Includes funding for multifamily rental rehabilitation Program Delivery - $980,000.00: Includes program delivery costs for housing programs Administration - $1,401,375.00: Includes costs for administering the CDBG grant, including allocations for the Financial Management Services Department Estimated Program Income - $50,000.00: Includes up to $50,000.00 in funding for the City's Priority Repair Program.

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.
