Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute agreements with agencies listed below in a combined amount up to $2,178,303.00 for a term commencing October 1, 2025 and terminating September 30, 2026 for High ImpACT Program services; 2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to renew the agreements for Fiscal Years 2027, 2028 and 2029 with the agencies listed below in a combined amount of up to $6,534,909.00 for High ImpACT Program services dependent on funds being appropriated for Homeless Strategies; 3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to amend the agreements if necessary to achieve program goals provided that the amendment is within the scope of the program and in compliance with City policies and applicable laws and regulations; and 4. Find that such contract renewals and any amendments thereto serve a public purpose of reducing homelessness and that adequate controls are in place. DISCUSSION: On March 19, 2024, the City Council approved Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) 24-0200 to fund the first five months of a 17-month High ImpACT Pilot Program in the amount of $1,096,847.00. On December 10, 2024, the City Council approved M&C 24-1032 to allocate $2,178,304.00 to fund the remaining 12 months of the 17-month pilot. While many areas of Fort Worth have seen an uptick in unsheltered homelessness and the issues associated with it, there are seven areas that have been hit especially hard. The High ImpACT Program aims to direct mental health and housing resources to reduce issues related to unsheltered homelessness in those seven areas: • Camp Bowie West/Las Vegas Trail (CD 3) • Seminary/La Gran Plaza/Hemphill (CD 9 and 11) • Downtown (CD 9) • Near Southside (CD 9) • Historic Southside/Near Eastside (CD 8) • Northside/Stockyards (CD 2) • Beach Street Intersections — from East Lancaster to North Tarrant Parkway (CD 2, 4, 8 and 11) • City-wide HOPE referrals are also considered This unique program houses the "hardest to house" clients who frequently interact with law enforcement and are highly visible to businesses and neighborhoods. The High ImpACT Program has two components and associated goals for the first 17 months of the pilot: 1. Housing Assistance: Housing assistance for at least 40 eligible High ImpACT clients. Leverage existing housing vouchers with a goal of providing housing assistance for up to 40 more people. 2. Housing First Assertive Community Treatment Team (Housing First ACT Team): Services for at least 80 severely mentally ill unsheltered and housed clients by a mobile, high-level team, including psychiatric and medical professionals. More than 70% of clients for the program were referred by Neighborhood Police Officers in the target areas based on considerations of both the length of time someone has been unsheltered in that target area or if he or she is an unsheltered individual who may have severe mental illness. As stated in M&C 24-0200, the 17-month pilot program's performance measures will be that at least 70% of those offered housing enter housing within six months and after one year of entering housing, at least 70% are still housed (can be different unit, but must be housed). After one year of the pilot, the program is showing success in meeting performance objectives. Goals by Sept. 30, 2025 Progress as of April 30, 2025 ACT Team services provided to 80 ACT Team services clients provided to 79 clients House 40 clients with High ImpACT Housed 41 clients with assistance High ImpACT assistance At least 70% of those offered 89% housing accept within 6 months housing acceptance rate At least 70% still housed after one 92% still housed after year one year Based on the success so far, it is recommended that the City Council continue funding the program in order to provide medical, psychiatric and case management services as well as housing assistance. These intensive services combined with housing assistance have enabled many unsheltered individuals with severe mental illness in target areas to obtain and retain housing. The City contracted with My Health, My Resources of Tarrant County (MHMR) to provide High ImpACT services. MHMR contracted with Partnership Home (formerly Tarrant County Homeless Coalition) and Acclaim Health to provide master lease/landlord engagement services and physician assistant services. For Fiscal Year 2026, the proposal is for the City contract directly with all three agencies as follows. Agency Services Annual Contracted Amount My Health, My Resources of Provision of psychiatric $1,269,005.00 Tarrant County services, therapy, housing case management, client costs etc Acclaim Health Provision of physician $201,094.00 assistant services Partnership Home Master leasing and landlord $708,204.00 engagement services TOTAL $2,178, 303.00 Funding will be budgeted within the General Fund for the City Managers office for Fiscal Year 2026.
