Affairs in the Amount of$304,021.00 for the Community Services Block Grant Program for Project Year

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the acceptance of additional grant funds from the Texas Department of Housing and
Community Affairs in the amount of$304,021.00 for the Community Services Block Grant Program for
Project Year 2015;
2. Authorize the execution of all related contracts with the Texas Department of Housing and Community
Affairs; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund in the amount of$304,021.00, subject to receipt of the grant funds.
DISCUSSION:
Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding provides programs and services to assist low-income
persons with case management, emergency assistance, outreach and certification for energy assistance,
information and referral and holiday assistance as well as services to provide clients with transportation to
services for employment, educational, medical and other needs. The Community Action Partners in the
Parks and Community Services Department serves as the designated Community Action Agency for all of
Tarrant County, in accordance with federal law and, as such, administers CSBG-funded programs. Ten
neighborhood CAP offices will be utilized to deliver program services.
For the last several years, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) has notified
the City to use the prior year's contract amount as a planning figure pending execution of the contract. On
November 18, 2014, (M&C C-27084) the City Council approved acceptance of funding from TDHCA in an
amount up to $1,800,000.00, which is the amount that Staff projected the City would receive based on
prior funding levels. The total 2015 CSBG grant award to date is $1,660,378.00.
On March 27, 2015, the City received notification from TDHCA that additional grant funds are available for
this year in the amount of$443 643.00 bringing the total rant amount to $2,104,021.00 $1,660,378.00

plus $443,643.00). Because the City Council previously approved acceptance of grant funds in the
amount of$1,800,000.00, Staff is only seeking approval to accept the amount of$304,021.00 of additional
grant funds, which represents the portion of the additional grant funds that is over and above the amount is
