Find that the expenditures and waiver or deferral of City fees serves the public purpose of providing decent, safe, and affordable housing to extremely low-income residents in the City and that adequate controls are in place through the loan documents to ensure the public purpose is carried out. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to award three projects forgivable loans funded from three funding streams: American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA') State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), HOME Investment Partnerships American Rescue Plan Program (HOME -ARP) and Directions Home capital funds to provide a total of 128 permanent supportive housing (PSH) units. Background The City of Fort Worth is part of the local Continuum of Care (CoC), and one of the priorities of the CoC is to address the current level of chronic homelessness. Tarrant County Homeless Coalition (TCHC) evaluated the homelessness situation in the CoC area, which encompasses Tarrant and Parker counties, and identified strategies, resources, and the estimated number of new physical units of PSH needed. In addition to other strategies, TCHC determined one of the greatest needs is for physical units designated for the chronically homeless. On December 14, 2021, to help address this need in the City of Fort Worth, Mayor and Council approved a substantial amendment to the City's 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan for the use of $10,537,030.00 in HOME -ARP Federal Grant funds to be awarded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the purpose of funding the development of PSH (M&C No. 21-0968) through a competitive Notice of Funding Availability process ("NOFA"). The Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation (FWHFC), which had previously set aside $5,000,000.00 for the development of PSH in the city, allocated $2,550,000.00 of the set -aside funds to be included with the HOME -ARP funds in the NOFA (Resolution No. FWHFC 2019 07). FWHFC PSH funds require a dollar for dollar match from private foundations. These funds were combined with a goal to develop 125 PSH units in the City. On March 8, 2022, the Neighborhood Services Department (NSD) released the NOFA. However, it was noted that the 125 PSH units was not sufficient to meet the City's need for PSH units. On April 12, 2022, the City Council allocated an additional $5,000,000.00 of general ARPA funds for the development of PSH units (M&C 22- 0270). This amount was included in the NOFA to be awarded for PSH development, and the unit goal increased to 165. Scoring - NSD staff and a philanthropic representative scored the six applications that were submitted. Based on scores, responsiveness to Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) requirements, and project feasibility, three projects are being recommended by staff for funding. One project was non -responsive due to failure to meet the M/WBE requirement, and two were found to be lacking in one or more key areas of evaluation.

A second NOFA will be issued to develop at least 37 PSH units with the funds that were not allocated through the first NOFA. The total number of PSH units from both NOFAs will be at least 165.

By approval of this M&C, the City Council finds that the following actions are necessary to achieve the vital public purpose of providing decent, safe, and affordable housing to extremely -low-income residents: (i) providing forgivable loans to the three developments listed above for the development of PSH units in the City, and (ii) the waiver or deferral of certain related City fees for the New Leaf Community Services and Presbyterian Night Shelter developments, including all fees charged by the Development Services Department (waived), park dedication fees (conditionally deferred), and transportation impact fees, for which a variance was granted by Development Services Department, in the collective approximate amount of $400,000.00; however the actual amount could vary. New Leaf Community Presbyterian Night Services PSH Project Shelter PSH Project Park Fees (Deferred) $58,824.00 $71,543.00 Transportation Impact Fees $50,832.00 $76,248.00 (Waived) Estimate of Other Development $54,064,00 $73,929.00 Services Department fees (Waived) Total Fees Waived or Deferred $163,720.00 $221,720.00 Staff has reviewed and verified, and Council by approval of this M&C finds, that the waiver or deferral of the fees is necessary for the financial feasibility of the two identified developments. The City Council further finds that adequate controls are in place through the loan documents to ensure the public purpose is carried out. Park fees will be payable in the event the property is transferred to a for -profit entity and will no longer be operated solely as a PSH housing development. The conditional imposition of the Park fees will be secured by liens on the properties. Because of the high priority the City Council has placed on the development as PSH and the fact that the New Leaf Community Services and Presbyterian Night Shelter of Tarrant County developments will be operated on a not -for -profit basis, Development Services and Park & Recreation departments support the deferring or waiving of fees so these projects may be developed. NSD thanks and recognizes the Development Services and Park & Recreation departments for their commitment to PSH. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, funds are available in the current operating and capital budgets, as appropriated, of the Grants Operating Federal Fund HOME -ARP and American Rescue Plan Act projects and the General Capital Projects Fund Development of PSH project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Neighborhood Services Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds and to ensure that only expenditures allowed under the ARPA SLFRF, HOME -ARP and Directions Home programs are charged to these funding sources.
