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.

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.
