PY 2013 Action Plan - Draft - Tarrant County

Expected Resources
AP‐15 Expected Resources
Introduction
The primary resources available for the implementation of Tarrant County’s Consolidated Plan are federal funds available through the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). For
activities affecting the homeless and other special needs populations, Tarrant County receives Supportive Housing Program (SHP) grant funds
and HOPWA funds by competition. Local social service agencies have other funding streams available to them to carry out their mission within
the community. Additionally, affordable housing projects may be funded through the Tarrant County Housing Finance Corporation, which has
the authority to issue bonds in support of affordable housing activities.
CDBG funds allocated to projects in each consortium member city are expended within each city according to concentrations of low‐moderate
income persons, designated as CDBG Eligible Areas. CDBG Eligible Areas consist of populations where at least 48.9% of households are
low/moderate income based on the 2000 U.S. Census or at least 51.0% under HUD approved income survey. There are no other specially
designated “Target Areas” in Tarrant County other than the above mentioned. Other program funds, such as those allocated for the single family
owner occupied home rehabilitation program, represent a direct benefit activity and are allocated on a county‐wide, first‐come, first‐serve basis
to ensure that all low‐income residents will have an equal chance of benefiting from limited resources. For selected housing activities,
geographic locations of projects will be based on the extent of housing need in that area as determined by careful market analyses. Other factors
influencing location of housing projects include the technical capacity of selected non‐profit organizations or housing developers and the ability
of a beneficiary to match effort.
