RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the transfer of $120,000 in Title VI Child Care Assistance funds in the Grant Fund for
child care and transportation assistance; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute contracts with the following organizations to provide child
care assistance to eligible applicants from August 1, 1998 through July 31, 1999.
A. Fort Worth Service, Employment and Redevelopment (SER) in an amount not-to-exceed
$50,000; and
B. Women's Center of Tarrant County in an amount not-to-exceed $50,000; and
C. Parks and Community Services Department in an amount not-to-exceed $20,000 to
provide transportation and child care assistance.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth uses Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds allocated for child
care services as a match in order to access additional federal funds under Title VI of the Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. The additional funds obtained can be
used to provide additional child care services as well as other eligible activities. During the last fiscal
year, the City received approximately $501,220 in additional federal funds under Title VI using its
CDBG as match. Of this amount, $369,915 or'/.was used to supplement the CDBG funded contracts
and the remaining funds were held in reserve for special projects. This M&C recommendation involves
the use of the reserve funds from Title VI for a special project involving the Fort Worth Works program
and in conjunction with the Minyard's project. The recommendation does not involve the use of any
CDBG or general fund dollars.
It is recommended that $120,000 be used to provide child care and transportation assistance. Funds
will be made available to employees participating in the Fort Worth Works program. In working with
new and currently expanding companies, the Fort Worth Works consortium agrees that the main
barriers to employment in the central city are lack of transportation and child care. Although there are
existing services available, focus groups (community organizations) were used to identify gaps in
existing services. These funds will be used to bridge the gap in order to meet the need. Funds in the
amount of $100,000 will be used to contract with Fort Worth SER and the Women's Center to provide
child care assistance. Funds in the amount of $20,000 will be used to contract with the Parks and
- Community Services Department to provide transportation and short-term child care for full-time
employees of Minyard stores.
