of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for the administration of the Maintenance of Effort
Rate Program (MER)(M&C C-14464) which began April 17, 1994 and ended May 16, 1996 This
was a two year pilot program in which a total of 1,943 Tarrant County households, served by
TU Electric, were selected to participate Participants were required to meet the income
guidelines provided by TDHCA for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program MER
established a discounted rate for low-income residential customers based on the amount of the
customer's monthly electric bill and household income An additional 728 households were
selected as "Control Group" participants that were representatives of the same demographics
as the MER Program participants In consideration of the City's satisfactory performance,
TDHCA paid the City of Fort Worth 525 00 per MER Program participant and 525 00 per MER
Control Group participant, for a total of 566,775
