DISCUSSION
The City of Fort Worth has operated a weatherization program on a grant basis funded by the Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) since 1982. The program serves low-income
residents in Tan•ant County, primarily the elderly and disabled, by weatherizing their homes.
Weatherization measures include attic insulation, weather-stripping, caulking, window and door repair or
replacement, storm windows and other minor repairs. A maximum of $2,002 in weatherization funds can
be expended on each home.
On December 16, 1998, the Housing Department was notified by TDHCA of its intent to fund the
Weatherization Assistance Program for the Program Year 1998-1999 The proposed program funding is
projected to be $241,419 with the funds being immediately available upon execution of the contracts with
TDHCA. The late notice in funding availability from the State, and staffs delayed request in seeking City
Council approval, are attributed to lengthy negotiations with the State over program monitoring findings.
Staff has responded to the findings to the State's satisfaction Staff has also implemented a number of
other improvements as the result of an extensive internal review
This project is available in all Council Districts.
