addressed sooner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Landlord
will pay for repairs of conditions that materially affect the health or safety of an ordinary
resident (i.e., dangerous or hazardous conditions).

2. if Landlord fails to repair or remedy the situation, Tenant shall make a second written
request for the repair or remedy stating that Tenant intends to repair or remedy the
condition (to make sure that there has been no miscommunication between the
parties) - after which Landlord will have a reasonable time to repair or remedy.
If the repair or remedy still hasn't been accomplished within that reasonable time period,
Tenant may:
1. Terminate the lease; or
2. Have the condition repaired or remedied (by a qualified contractor) and deduct
from rent the cost of repair not to exceed one month's rent or $500.00,
whichever is greater, according to the provisions of 92.0561; or
3. Exercise other statutory remedies available under Texas Property Code Sections
92.0563 and 92.0561.

2.17 FLOODPLAIN
Are you aware that the property is located in a 100-year floodplain?
❑ Yes
�7 N o
If neither box is checked, you should assume the dwelling is in a 100-year floodplain. Even
if the dwelling is not in a 100-year floodplain, the dwelling may still be susceptible to
flooding. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maintains a flood map on its
Internet website that is searchable by address, at no cost, to determine if a dwelling is
located in a flood hazard area. Most tenant insurance policies do not cover damages or
loss incurred in a flood. You should seek insurance coverage that would cover losses
caused by a flood.
Has the property flooded 1 or more times in the last 5 years?
❑ Yes
I�c N o
Texas Code defines flooding as "the inundation of a partial or complete portion of the dwelling covered by
the /ease which was caused by the overflow of inland or tidal waters, the unusual and rapid accumulation
of runoff or surface waters from any established water source such as a river, stream or drainage ditch, or
excessive rainfall':

one such assignment, subletting, or license shall not be deemed to be consent to any
subsequent assignment, subletting, or license. An assignment, subletting, or license
without the prior written consent of Landlord or an assignment or subletting by operation
of law shall be absolutely null and void and shall, at Landlord's option, terminate this
Agreement.

Are You Planning to Buy or Rent a Home Built
Before 1978?
Did you know that many homes built before 1978 have lead-based
paint? Lead from paint, chips, and dust can pose serious health
hazards.
Read this entire brochure to learn:
• How lead gets into the body
• How lead affects health
• What you can do to protect your family
• Where to go for more information

Simple Steps to Protect Your Family
from Lead Hazards
If you think your home has lead-based paint:
• Don't try to remove lead-based paint yourself.
• Always keep painted surfaces in good condition to minimize
deterioration.
• Get your home checked for lead hazards. Find a certified
inspector or risk assessor at epa.gov/lead.
• Talk to your landlord about fixing surfaces with peeling or
chipping paint.
• Regularly clean floors, window sills, and other surfaces.
• Take precautions to avoid exposure to lead dust when
remodeling.
• When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state-
approved Lead-Safe certified renovation firms.
• Before buying, renting, or renovating your home, have it
checked for lead-based paint.
• Consult your health care provider about testing your children
for lead. Your pediatrician can check for lead with a simple
blood test.
• Wash children's hands, bottles, pacifiers, and toys often.
• Make sure children eat healthy, low-fat foods high in iron,
calcium, and vitamin C.
• Remove shoes or wipe soil off shoes before entering your
house.

Lead Gets into the Body in Many Ways
Adults and children can get lead into their bodies if they:
• Breathe in lead dust (especially during activities such as renovations,
repairs, or painting that disturb painted surfaces).
• Swallow lead dust that has settled on food, food preparation surfaces,
and other places.
• Eat paint chips or soil that contains lead.
Lead is especially dangerous to children under the age of 6.
• At this age, children's brains
and nervous systems are
more sensitive to the
damaging effects of lead.
• Children's growing bodies
absorb more lead.
• Babies and young children
often put their hands
and other objects in their
mouths.These objects can
have lead dust on them.
Women of childbearing age should know that lead is dangerous to
a developing fetus.
• Women with a high lead level in their system before or during
pregnancy risk exposing the fetus to lead through the placenta
during fetal development.

In adults, exposure to lead can cause:
• Harm to a developing fetus
• Increased chance of high blood pressure during pregnancy
• Fertility problems (in men and women)
• High blood pressure
• Digestive problems
• Nerve disorders
• Memory and concentration problems
• Muscle and joint pain

CheckYour Family for Lead
Get your children and home tested if you think your home has
lead.
Children's blood lead levels tend to increase rapidly from 6 to 12
months of age, and tend to peak at 18 to 24 months of age.
Consult your doctor for advice on testing your children. A simple blood
test can detect lead. Blood lead tests are usually recommended for:
• Children at ages 1 and 2
• Children or other family members who have been exposed to high
levels of lead
• Children who should be tested under your state or local health
screening plan
Your doctor can explain what the test results mean and if more
testing will be needed.

Where Lead-Based Paint Is Found
In general, the older your home or childcare facility, the more likely it
has lead-based paint.'
Many homes, including private, federally-assisted, federally-
owned housing, and childcare facilities built before 1978 have
lead-based paint. In 1978, the federal government banned consumer
uses of lead-containing paint.Z
Learn how to determine if paint is lead-based paint on page 7.
Lead can be found:
• In homes and childcare facilities in the city, country, or suburbs,
• In private and public single-family homes and apartments,
• On surfaces inside and outside of the house, and
• In soil around a home. (Soil can pick up lead from exterior paint or
other sources, such as past use of leaded gas in cars.)
Learn more about where lead is found at epa.gov/lead.
'"Lead-based paint" is currently defined by the federal government as paint with
lead levels greater than or equal to 1.0 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2), or
more than 0.5% by weight.
z"Lead-containing paint" is currently defined by the federal government as lead in new
dried paint in excess of 90 parts per million (ppm) by weight.

Identifying Lead-Based Paint
and Lead-Based Paint Hazards
Deteriorated lead-based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking,
cracking, or damaged paint) is a hazard and needs immediate
attention. Lead-based paint may also be a hazard when found on
surfaces that children can chew or that get a lot of wear and tear,
such as:
• On windows and window sills
• Doors and door frames
• Stairs, railings, banisters, and porches
Lead-based paint is usually not a hazard if it is in good condition
and if it is not on an impact or friction surface like a window.
Lead dust can form when lead-based paint is scraped, sanded, or
heated. Lead dust also forms when painted surfaces containing
lead bump or rub together. Lead paint chips and dust can get on
surfaces and objects that people touch. Settled lead dust can reenter
the air when the home is vacuumed or swept, or when people walk
through it. EPA currently defines the following levels of lead in dust as
hazardous:
• 10 micrograms per square foot (µg/ftz) and higher for floors,
including carpeted floors
• 100 µg/ftZ and higher for interior window sills
Lead in soil can be a hazard when children play in bare soil or when
people bring soil into the house on their shoes. EPA currently defines
the following levels of lead in soil as hazardous:
• 400 parts per million (ppm) and higher in play areas of bare soil
• 1,200 ppm (average) and higher in bare soil in the remainder
of the yard
Remember, lead from paint chips—which you can see—and lead
dust—which you may not be able to see—both can be hazards.
The only way to find out if paint, dust, or soil lead hazards exist is to
test for them. The next page describes how to do this. 6

Checking Your Home for Lead
You can get your home tested for lead in several different ways:
A lead-based paint inspection tells you if your home has lead-
based paint and where it is located. It won't tell you whether your
home currently has lead hazards. A trained and certified testing
professional, called a lead-based paint
inspector, will conduct a paint inspection
using methods, such as: � �
• Portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) machine
• Lab tests of paint samples
A risk assessment tells you if your home
currently has any lead hazards from lead
in paint, dust, or soil. It also tells you what
actions to take to address any hazards. A
trained and certified testing professional,
called a risk assessor, will:
�
.�
.I
,.,
• Sample paint that is deteriorated on doors, windows, floors, stairs,
and walls
• Sample dust near painted surfaces and sample bare soil in the
ya rd
• Get lab tests of paint, dust, and soil samples
• A combination inspection and risk assessment tells you if your home
has any lead-based paint and if your home has any lead hazards, and
where both are located.
Be sure to read the report provided to you after your inspection or risk
assessment is completed, and ask questions about anything you do not
understand.

Checking Your Home for Lead, continued
In preparing for renovation, repair, or painting work in a pre-1978
home, Lead-Safe Certified renovators (see page 12) may:
• Take paint chip samples to determine if lead-based paint is
present in the area planned for renovation and send them to an
EPA-recognized lead lab for analysis. In housing receiving federal
assistance, the person collecting these samples must be a certified
lead-based paint inspector or risk assessor
• Use EPA-recognized tests kits to determine if lead-based paint is
absent (but not in housing receiving federal assistance)
• Presume that lead-based paint is present and use lead-safe work
practices
There are state and federal programs in place to ensure that testing is
done safely, reliably, and effectively. Contact your state or local agency
for more information, visit epa.gov/lead, or call 1-800-424-LEAD
(5323) for a list of contacts in your area.3

What You Can Do Now to Protect Your Family
If you suspect that your house has lead-based paint hazards, you
can take some immediate steps to reduce your family's risk:
• If you rent, notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint.
• Keep painted surfaces clean and free of dust. Clean floors, window
frames, window sills, and other surfaces weekly. Use a mop or sponge
with warm water and a general all-purpose cleaner. (Remember:
never mix ammonia and bleach products together because they can
form a dangerous gas.)
• Carefully clean up paint chips immediately without creating dust.
• Thoroughly rinse sponges and mop heads often during cleaning of
dirty or dusty areas, and again afterward.
• Wash your hands and your children's hands often, especially before
they eat and before nap time and bed time.
• Keep play areas clean. Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed
animals regularly.
• Keep children from chewing window sills or other painted surfaces, or
eating soil.
• When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state-
approved Lead-Safe Certified renovation firms (see page 12).
• Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking
in lead from soil.
• Make sure children eat nutritious, low-fat meals high in iron, and
calcium, such as spinach and dairy products. Children with good diets
absorb less lead.

Reducing Lead Hazards
Disturbing lead-based paint or , � � �
removing lead improperly can � �
increase the hazard to your family by i
spreading even more lead dust around �� �, '�
the house. ' �
,
• In addition to day-to-day cleaning -•,•'�`� i
and good nutrition, you can
temporarily reduce lead-based paint �--�j � ��'�♦'
hazards by taking actions, such as �
repaping d gmyaged painted surfaces � � � � I � � I � � `I ;� '
and lantin rass to cover lead- I
contaminated soil.These actions are '
not permanent solutions and will need � � r�
ongoing attention.
• You can minimize exposure to lead
when renovating, repairing, or painting by hiring an EPA- or state-
certified renovator who is trained in the use of lead-safe work
practices. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, learn how to use lead—safe
work practices in your home.
• To remove lead hazards permanently, you should hire a certified lead
abatement contractor. Abatement (or permanent hazard elimination)
methods include removing, sealing, or enclosing lead-based paint
with special materials. Just painting over the hazard with regular
paint is not permanent control.
Always use a certified contractor who is trained to address lead
hazards safely.
• Hire a Lead-Safe Certified firm (see page 12) to perform renovation,
repair, or painting (RRP) projects that disturb painted surfaces.
• To correct lead hazards permanently, hire a certified lead abatement
contractor. This will ensure your contractor knows how to work safely
and has the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly.
Certified contractors will employ qualified workers and follow strict
safety rules as set by their state or by the federal government.

Reducing Lead Hazards, continued
If your home has had lead abatement work done or if the housing is
receiving federal assistance, once the work is completed, dust cleanup
activities must be conducted until clearance testing indicates that lead
dust levels are below the following levels:
• 40 micrograms per square foot (µg/ftz) for floors, including carpeted
floors
• 250 µg/ft2 for interior windows sills
• 400 µg/ftz for window troughs
For help in locating certified lead abatement professionals in your area,
call your state or local agency (see pages 14 and 15), or visit

Renovating, Repairing or Painting a Home
with Lead-Based Paint
If you hire a contractor to conduct renovation, repair, or painting
(RRP) projects in your pre-1978 home or childcare facility (such as
pre-school and kindergarten), your contractor must:
• Be a Lead-Safe Certified firm approved by EPA or an
EPA-authorized state program
• Use qualified trained individuals (Lead-Safe
Certified renovators) who follow specific lead-safe
work practices to prevent lead contamination
• Provide a copy of EPA's lead hazard information

RRP contractors working in pre-1978 homes and childcare facilities
must follow lead-safe work practices that:
• Contain the work area. The area must be contained so that dust and
debris do not escape from the work area. Warning signs must be put
up, and plastic or other impermeable material and tape must be used.
• Avoid renovation methods that generate large amounts of
lead-contaminated dust. Some methods generate so much lead-
contaminated dust that their use is prohibited.They are:
• Open-flame burning or torching
• Sanding, grinding, planing, needle gunning, or blasting with
power tools and equipment not equipped with a shroud and
HEPA vacuum attachment
• Using a heat gun at temperatures greater than 1100°F
• Clean up thoroughly. The work area should be cleaned up daily.
When all the work is done, the area must be cleaned up using special
cleaning methods.
• Dispose of waste properly. Collect and seal waste in a heavy duty
bag or sheeting. When transported, ensure that waste is contained to
prevent release of dust and debris.

Other Sources of Lead
Lead in Drinking Water
The most common sources of lead in drinking water are lead pipes,
faucets, and fixtures.
Lead pipes are more likely to be found in older cities and homes built
before 1986.
You can't smell or taste lead in drinking water.
To find out for certain if you have lead in drinking water, have your
water tested.
Remember older homes with a private well can also have plumbing
materials that contain lead.
Important Steps You Can Take to Reduce Lead in Drinking Water
• Use only cold water for drinking, cooking and making baby formula.
Remember, boiling water does not remove lead from water.
• Before drinking, flush your home's pipes by running the tap, taking a
shower, doing laundry, or doing a load of dishes.
• Regularly clean your faucet's screen (also known as an aerator).
• If you use a filter certified to remove lead, don't forget to read the
directions to learn when to change the cartridge. Using a filter after it
has expired can make it less effective at removing lead.
Contact your water company to determine if the pipe that connects
your home to the water main (called a service line) is made from lead.
Your area's water company can also provide information about the lead
levels in your system's drinking water.
For more information about lead in drinking water, please contact
EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. If you have other
questions about lead poisoning prevention, call 1-800 424-LEAD.*
Call your local health department or water company to find out about
testing your water, or visit epa.gov/safewater for EPA's lead in drinking
water information. Some states or utilities offer programs to pay for
water testing for residents. Contact your state or local water company
to learn more.

Other Sources of Lead, continued
• Lead smelters or other industries that release lead into the air.
• Your job. If you work with lead, you could bring it home on your body
or clothes. Shower and change clothes before coming home. Launder
your work clothes separately from the rest of your family's clothes.
• Hobbies that use lead, such as making pottery or stained glass,
or refinishing furniture. Call your local health department for
information about hobbies that may use lead.
• Old toys and furniture may have been painted with lead-containing
paint. Older toys and other children's products may have parts that
contain lead 4
• Food and liquids cooked or stored in lead crystal or lead-glazed
pottery or porcelain may contain lead.
• Folk remedies, such as "greta" and "azarcon;' used to treat an upset
stomach.
^ In 1978, the federal government banned toys, other children's products, and furniture
with lead-containing paint. In 2008, the federal government banned lead in most
children's products. The federal government currently bans lead in excess of 100 ppm
by weight in most children's products.

IMPORTANT!
Lead From Paint, Dust, and Soil in and
Around Your Home Can Be Dangerous if
Not Managed Properly
• Children under 6 years old are most at risk for lead
poisoning in your home.
• Lead exposure can harm young children and babies even
before they are born.
• Homes, schools, and child care facilities built before 1978
are likely to contain lead-based paint.
• Even children who seem healthy may have dangerous
levels of lead in their bodies.
• Disturbing surfaces with lead-based paint or removing
lead-based paint improperly can increase the danger to
your family.
• People can get lead into their bodies by breathing or
swallowing lead dust, or by eating soil or paint chips
containing lead.
• People have many options for reducing lead hazards.
Generally, lead-based paint that is in good condition is not
a hazard (see page 10).

M&C Review
Page 2 of 5
September 30, 2026 for use of federal grant funds totaling $13,273,355.77 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, plus program income from the
CDBG and HOME grant programs totaling $60,000.00. 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 January 15, 2025. All proposals were received on March 3, 2025. 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 July 14, 2025, to provide citizens with 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 June 11, 2025.
A 30-day public comment period was held from June 16, 2025, through July 16, 2025. Notice of this public
comment period was published in the Cleburne Times Review on June 10, 2025; in the Fort Worth Star
Telegram and Weatherford Democrat on June 11, 2025; and in La Vida News and the Wise County
Messenger on June 12, 2025.
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 July 14, 2025, and the second public hearing is
scheduled for the City Council Meeeting on August 12, 2025.
A summary of staff's final funding recommendations is provided below in Tables 1, 2, and 3. The 2025-
2026 Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD by August 15, 2025.
Indirect costs totaling approximately $264,698.00 could be charged to these grants, as the Neighborhood
Services Department indirect cost rate is 21.05\°/o 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.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
For Program Year 2025-2026, it is recommended that the amount of $7,116,438.00 in CDBG funds and an
estimated amount of $30,000.00 in CDBG program income totaling $7,146,438.00 be allocated as follows:

Each of these grants are 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 90 FTE positions in the Neighborhood Services
Department, which is funded nearly 60\% 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, the 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.
The City of Fort Worth has certified that all programs receiving funding through the HOPWA, HOME, ESG,
and CDBG grants comply with applicable Executive Orders.
These programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
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. 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. These are reimbursement grants.
