you'll be liable for the charge listed above (not to exceed $50
per billing period), plus the actual or estimated cost of the
utilities used while the utility should have been billed to you.

charge is not a termination, cancellation or buyout fee and
does not release you from your obligations underthis Lease,
including liability for future or past-due Rent, charges for
damages or other sums due.
The reletting charge is a liquidated amount covering only
part of our damages—for our time, effort, and expense in
finding and processing a replacement resident. These
damages are uncertain and hard to ascertain—particularly
those relating to inconvenience, paperwork, advertising,
showing apartments, utilities for showing, checking pros-
pects, overhead, marketing costs, and locator-service fees.

of our damages and that the charge is due whether or not our

a ny subsequent violation, default, or time or place of performance. Our
choice to enforce, not enforce or delay enforcement of written-no-
tice requirements, rental due dates, acceleration, liens, orany other
rights isn'ta waiverunderanycircumstances. Delay in demanding
su ms you owe is not a waiver. Except when notice or demand is requ ired
by law, you waive any notice and dema nd for performa nce from us if you
default. Nothing in this Lease constitutes a waiver of our remed ies for a
breach under your prior lease that occurred before the Lease term begins.

less the owner's lender chooses otherwise.

ment companies. No employee, agent, or management company is

Termination or Nonrenewal of Lease for Housing Tax
Credit (HTC), HOME Program, NHTF Program and Proper-
ties Owned by Public Facility Corporations. Provisions in
Par.6-6.5 ofthis Addendum shall applyonlyto residents living
in a dwelling covered by the HTC, NHTF and HOME programs
or properties owned by a PFC underTexas Local Government
Code. Par.6-6.5 ofthis Addendum also override any contrary
provisions contained in the Lease. We will not evict a resident
solely on the basis that the resident is or has been a victim of
domesticviolence, sexual assault orstalking, or has participated,
testified orassisted in any mattercovered bytheViolence Against
Women Act 2022.
6.1 Housing Tax Credit Program. For rental properties par-
ticipating in the HTC program, IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-
82 provides that a property owner may not evict a resident
or terminate a tenancy except for good cause. In addition,
for HTC units, we must provide the notice required under
the Lease if evicting during the lease term or if terminat-
ing your residency at the end of an initial or renewal term.
In addition, for HTC units, we must provide written notice
specifying the grounds for eviction during the lease term
or ifwe terminate your residency at the end of the initial or
renewal term.
6.2 HOME Program. For rental properties participating in the
HOME program, federal regulation �4 CFR 92.253 provides
that a property owner may not evict a resident or refuse to
renew a Lease except for serious or repeated violations of
the Lease, violations of applicable federal, state or local law,
completion of the tenancy period for Transitional Housing
(if applicable) or for good cause. Evictions or nonrenewal
of leases for reasons other than good cause are prohibited.
In addition, for HOME program units, the property owner
must provide a resident with at least 30 days written notice
before either seeking an eviction or not renewing a Lease.
The written notice must specify the grounds for eviction or
nonrenewal of the Lease.
6.3 NHTF Program. For rental properties participating in the
NHTF program, federal regulation 24 CFR 93303 provides
that a property owner may not evict a resident or refuse to
renew a Lease except for serious or repeated violations of
the Lease, violations of applicable federal, state or local law,
completion of the tenancy period for Transitional Housing
(if applicable) or for good cause. Evictions or nonrenewal of
leases for reasons other than good cause are prohibited. In
addition,for NHTF program units,the property owner must
provide a written notice that specifies the grounds for evic-
tion or nonrenewal of the Lease.
6.4 Properties Owned by PFCs or HFCs. For properties owned
by PFCs or HFCs, the owner may only refuse to renew the
lease ifthe resident: (1) is in material noncompliance with the
Lease, including nonpayment of rent; (2) committed one or
more substantial violations of the Lease; (3) failed to provide
required information on income, composition, oreligibilityof

ment or have an adverse financial effect on the development,
including failure of the resident to pay rent in a timely man-

days written notice of nonrenewal of the Lease. The owner
may not retaliate or take action against a resident or the resi-
denYs guests because the resident established, attempted to
establish or participated in a resident organization.
6.5 Good Cause. If challenged by a resident, a court may deter-
mine if a property owner has good cause to evict, terminate
a tenancy or not renew the Lease. We must provide a 30-day
written notice before seeking an eviction for nonpayment of
rent. Ifthe CARES Act is modified to eliminate the 30-day no-
tice requirement, HUD or Treasury requirements will super-
sede this 30-day notice requirement for nonpayment of rent.
"Good cause" may include, but is not limited to, nonpayment
of rent, failure to answer or provide accurate information, as
required by Par. 4 and 5 of this Addendum, serious or repeat-
ed Lease violations, or breaking the law.

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.

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.
