AMENDMENTS
Term of the Contract is hereby amended and extended to November 30, 2025. The Purpose is to
extend the grant contract by 60 days (through November 30, 2025) and realign unspent funds to
ensure full utilization of the award within the extended period. Adjustments primarily reflect
salary and fringe reallocations between departments and coverage for increased staffing time
during the extension.
Amendment No. 1 to CSC No. 62511
PSA CONTRACT 2024-2025
TARRANT COUNTY SAMARITAN HOUSING, INC.Page 2
1.Justification of budget line amendment:
a.Administration Reallocation: Reallocation supports additional fiscal oversight
and reporting required during the 60-day extension. This ensures proper closeout,
compliance review, and timely submission of final grant deliverables. Minor
reduction reflects actual premiums following staff coverage changes, allowing for
the redirection of marginal savings to critical salary obligations. Adjustment
aligns with actual staff eligibility and contribution levels realized during the fiscal
year, optimizing use of funds for essential administrative support.
b.Supportive Services Reallocation: Program Salaries (+$21,240.77): Funds
reallocated to sustain direct client services and case management during the
contract extension. This adjustment maintains service continuity and ensures
adequate staffing to complete program outcomes. FICA (–$4,756.35): Decrease
aligns payroll taxes with revised salary distribution and unfilled positions,
reflecting prudent financial realignment based on actual costs. Life/Disability
Insurance (–$1,327.62): Lower actual insurance costs due to coverage
adjustments during staff transitions; resources redirected to support frontline
program salaries. Health/Dental Insurance (–$36,200.73): Savings stem from
temporary vacancies and lower group plan participation. Reallocated funds
strengthened direct service delivery capacity in the final grant months.
Retirement (+$738.24): Marginal increase ensures proportional coverage of
benefits through the extended performance period.
c.Facility Based Operations: Salaries (+$25,632.71): Increase provides continuity
of onsite staffing and resident support through the extension, ensuring consistent
facility operations and client stability. FICA (+$684.23): Corresponding
adjustment for employer payroll taxes associated with the additional salary costs.
Life/Disability Insurance (–$51.11): Minor reduction reflecting lower actual
benefit utilization among eligible employees.Health/Dental Insurance (–
$5,960.14): Adjustment reconciles projected versus actual benefit costs,
redirecting excess capacity to personnel lines sustaining core facility functions.
2.EXHIBIT “B”- BUDGET, attached to the Contract are hereby amended and replaced
in their entirety with the revised exhibits, attached hereto.
II.
This amendment is effective as of October 1, 2025.

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. Any CDBG program income over the estimated amount not used for the Priority Repair
Program will be allocated to priority activities in the City's Consolidated Plan, subject to the City Council
approval.

All figures have been rounded to the nearest dollar for presentation purposes.
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.
