SUBJECT PROGRAM AND SUPPORT FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
ORGANIZATIONS CHDOS
Participating Jurisdictions (PJs), such as the City of Fort Worth, are particularly encouraged to work
with existing community-based, non-profit housing organizations and to help develop new housing non-
profits. To ensure this participation, a minimum 15% of a PJ's HOME funds must be set-aside to be
used for CHDOs, and up to 5% may be set-aside to fund CHDO's operating expenses.
CHDOs are certified by PJs according to specific eligibility criteria. Commitments of HOME funds must
be made according to a timetable established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
A Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for CHDO funds was issued and the LCAC, NSE CDC, and
Greenway Neighborhood Development Corporation submitted proposals in response to the NOFA.
• LCAC is requesting CHDO Program Funds to develop single-family housing, either through the
construction of infill housing on vacant lots and/or the purchase/rehab/resale of existing housing.
The CHDO funds will enable LCAC to negotiate a line of credit with a local bank to provide
construction financing of additional single-family homes, leveraging the CHDO funds and
promoting public-private partnership.
• NSE CDC is requesting CHDO support funds. It plans to develop town home rental units in the
near southeast to provide decent, safe and affordable housing for families who are not yet ready
for home ownership or do not desire to be home owners. A rental project would also provide an
income stream for the NSE CDC to assist it to become self-sustaining.
• The Greenway Neighborhood Development Corporation (NDC) is also requesting CHDO
Support Funds. It plans to purchase and rehabilitate properties in the Greenway neighborhood
for home ownership or for rent.
• HOME rules require that within two years of receipt of CHDO Support Funds, the City provide
NSE CDC and Greenway NDC with CHDO program funds to undertake the planned housing
development activity.
Funding for all three CHDOs is being recommended as follows:

which are developed by CHDOs with CHDO funds. The Housing Department is proposing to allocate
CHDO funds for this purpose as well.
The current balances in the City's CHDO funds, before the above-recommended allocations, are as
