out date. If you delay getting service turned on in your name
bythis Lease's start date or cause it to be transferred back into
our name before you surrender or abandon the apartment,
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.

including liability forfuture 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 ourtime, 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 thatthe charge is due whether or not our
reletting attempts succeed.

nate this Lease within 3 days after you receive written notice.

services, ownership disclosure, or security-rela ted matters —
it must be written and delivered to our designated
representative in accordance with this Lease (except for
fair -housing accommodation or modification requests or
situations involving imminent danger or threats to health or
safety, such as fire, smoke, gas, explosion, or crime in
progress). Our written notes regarding your oral request do
not constitute a written request from you. Our complying
with or responding to any oral request doesn't waive the strict
requirement for written notices under this Lease. A request'
for maintenance or repair by anyone residing in your
apartment constitutes a request from all residents. The time,
manner, method and means of performing maintenance
and repairs, including whether or which vendors to use,
are within our sole discretion.
15.2. Your Requirement to Notify. You must promptly notify us in
writing of air conditioning or heating problems, water leaks or

apartment cooled or heated according to this Lease. Air
conditioning problems are normally not emergencies.
15.3. Utilities. We may change or install utility lines or
equipment serving the apartment ifthe work is done

cause, you must notify our representative immediately.

make repairs and reconnections within a reasonable
time, taking into consideration when casualty -insurance
proceeds are received. Unless required by statute after
a casualty loss, or during equipment repair, your Rent

accounts for the severity and nature of the problem and
the reasonable availability of materials, labor, and
utilities. I f we fail to timely repair a condition that
materially affects the physical health or safety ofan
ordinary resident as required by the Texas Property Code,
you maybe entitled to exercise remedies under 4 92.056
and §92.0561 of the Texas Property Code. lfyoufollow

and 4) judicial remedies according to $ 92.0563.

significant or performance of needed repairs poses a danger to you,
we may terminate this Lease and your right to possession by giving
you at least 7 days' written notice. If termination occurs, you agree
we'll refund only prorated rent and all deposits, minus lawful deduc-
tions. We may remove, store, or dispose of your personal property if,
in our sole judgment, it poses a health or safety hazard or impedes
our ability to make repairs.
Texas Property Code secs. 92.151, 92.153, and 92.754 require, with
some exceptions, that we provide at no cost to you when occupancy
begins: (A) a windowlatch on each window; (B) a doorviewer (peep-
hole or window) on each exteriordoor; (C) a pin lock an each sliding
door; (D) either a door -handle latch or a security bar on each sliding

one entry door. Keyed locks will be rekeyed after the prior resident
moves out. The rekeying will be done either before you move in or
within 7 days after you move in, as required by law. If we fail to in-
stall or rekey security devices as required by law, you have the right
to do so and deduct the reasonable cost from your next Rent pay-
ment under Texas Property Code sec. 92.165(1). We may deactivate
or not install keyless bolting devices on your doors if (A) you or an
occupant in the dwelling is over 55 or disabled, and (9) the require-
ments of Texas Property Code sec. 92.153(e) or (f) are satisfied.

law, a smoke alarm capable of alerting a person with a
hearing impairment.
You must pay for and replace batteries as needed,
unless the law provides otherwise. We may replace dead
or missing batteries at your expense, without prior notice
to you. Neither you nor your guests or occupants may
disable alarms or detectors. If you damage or disable the
smoke alarm or remove a battery without replacing it
with a working battery, you may be liable to us under
Texas Property Code sec. 92.2611 for $100 plus one
month's Rent, actual damages, and attorney's fees.

nities are provided, they are mechanical devices that can malfunc-
tion. Any charges resulting from the use of an intrusion alarm will be

5. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute contracts for one-year terms with the

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 staffs 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\% 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

All figures have been rounded to the nearest dollar for presentation purposes.
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.
