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
federaf 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

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-Gonza�es 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 inc�uding 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.
