DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth contracts with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs
(TDHCA) to provide the Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) through the Community
Action Partners (CAP), which is managed by the City's Parks and Community Services
Department. The TDHCA has notified the City to use the prior year's grant award and contract
amount as a planning figure for the 2015 CEAP. The total 2014 contract amount was
$5,840,985.00. In response to the continuing increase in energy rates, CAP staff projects an
increase in funding, resulting in an estimated grant award up to $7,000,000.00 for this program in
2015.
The three components of the program are:
1. Household Energy Crisis -weatherization and/or energy related assistance, repair of HVAC
systems and/or purchase of window units;
2. Utility Assistance - assistance to households with a composition of elderly and/or disabled
members or a child under the age of five; and
3. Case Management - promoting energy self-sufficiency.
All households at or below 125 percent of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines will be afforded
access to the program. Applicant households will be determined eligible according to income
guidelines and program procedures. Benefit determinations include household income, household

size, energy consumption and/or vulnerability and the availability of funds. CAP staff will accept
applications at 10 neighborhood CAP facilities and at other identified locations throughout Tarrant
County. Payments will be made for eligible clients directly to the utility vendors and heating and
cooling system repair companies.
TDHCA allows no more than six percent of the grant award (excluding travel and training) to be
budgeted for administrative costs and five percent for case management administrative costs. The
remaining funds will be used for Household Energy Crisis and Utility Assistance for the duration of the
contract. From January to August 2014, CAP served 5,212 households and 11,484 individuals.
Interim appropriations are necessary in order to provide for transition from one grant funding program
period to the next. No matching funds are required from the City for the CEAP grant.
This program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above
recommendations and adoption of the attached interim appropriation ordinance, funds for interim
operation will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund. With
adoption of the final appropriations ordinance, funds for appropriation through the remainder of the
grant period will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund
upon execution of the grant contract and receipt of the grant dollars. The department shall be
responsible for identifying alternative funding sources to cover expenses incurred under the interim
financing in the event the grant funds are not received.
