Introduction<br />
<strong>Tarrant</strong> <strong>County</strong> allocates a significant portion of CDBG funds to infrastructure improvement. The highest<br />
community development priority identified in the 2010‐2014 Consolidated <strong>Plan</strong> was replacing and<br />
upgrading of deteriorated and inadequate infrastructure. The next priority was to provide for the<br />
availability and accessibility of decent housing by rehabilitating single family owner occupied homes to<br />
any unincorporated area of the county and any city outside of Arlington, Fort Worth and Grand Prairie.<br />
Providing public services and adding to the current housing stock rounds out the priorities for <strong>PY</strong><strong>2013</strong>.<br />
Public services include providing rapid re‐housing and case management to homeless families and<br />
providing education to middle and high school children in regards to bullying and violence. Housing<br />
stock added will be provided by one certified CHDO funded with <strong>PY</strong><strong>2013</strong> HOME funds.<br />

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved<br />
needs<br />
Public infrastructure improvement and home owner rehab are <strong>Tarrant</strong> <strong>County</strong>'s highest priorities due to<br />
aging infrastructure and the number of aging SF family homes in the <strong>County</strong>. To prevent blight and<br />
ensure our residential communities remain stable, these remain our highest priorites. Although 19 nonentitlement<br />
cities submitted proposals for public infrastructure improvement, only 9 cities will be<br />
provided funding in <strong>PY</strong><strong>2013</strong>. Remaining cities will be funded through <strong>PY</strong>2014 funds and so will begin the<br />
alternating of cities funded by CDBG. This splitting of cities is due to the decreasing amount of CDBG<br />
funds received and the quality of projects executed with dwindling funds. Unfortunately those other<br />
cities will have to wait which is an obstacle in addressing underserved needs.<br />
