If termination occurs, you agree we'll refund only prorated rent and all deposits, minus lawful deduc- tions.

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.

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.
