DISCUSSION
The City of Fort Worth has operated a Weatherization Assistance Program funded by TDHCA on a grant
basis since 1982. The program serves low-income residents in Tarrant County primarily persons with
disabilities and the elderly by weatherizing their homes. In 2003 90% of total clients serviced by the
Weatherization Program were in the City of Fort Worth
Weatherization measures include attic insulation weather-stripping caulking window and door repair and
other minor repairs. A maximum of $2 614 in weatherization funds can be expended per home during
program year 2003-2004 The Housing Department anticipates completing 131 % of the homes under our
existing contract, and 35% more homes with the additional funds.
The proposed funding of $112 000 represents additional weatherization funding made available by TDHCA
under the DOE grant program and LIHEAP grant program The Housing Department -has been operating
under the original contracts in the amount of $350 874 approved by the City on July 8 2003 (M&C C-
