Affordable Housing AP‐55 Affordable Housing Introduction Maintaining and developing new affordable housing stock is the primary function of the HOME grant funds. Tarrant County Community Development will foster relationships and work with non‐profit and for‐profit groups throughout the year to promote the development, construction, production and maintenance of affordable housing. Tarrant County has funded multi‐family rental projects along with the funding of single family detached housing activities scattered throughout the County¿s jurisdiction through our CHDO¿s. Those activities include homebuyer assistance and a program to acquire, rehabilitate if necessary, and then resell or rent those units to qualified low income individuals or families. Through our rapid re‐housing program utilizing ESG, CDBG and CoC Grant (formerly Supportive Housing Program) funds, Tarrant County will directly assist an estimated 29 homeless families with transitional housing for up to two years.

AP‐60 Public Housing Introduction There are currently three providers of HUD‐Assisted Housing in the Tarrant County urban county jurisdiction: Tarrant County Housing Assistance Office, the Grapevine Housing Authority, and the Haltom City Housing Authority. The public housing stock located in Grapevine and Haltom City is generally well‐managed and in good condition. More than 32% of The Tarrant County Housing Assistance Office Housing vouchers assist the elderly and disabled citizens of the community. These citizens utilize the assistance for longer periods of time and are slow to leave the program and with the large growing population of these citizens, there is a need to increase voucher availability. Tarrant County Housing Assistance Office currently works with 1300 landlords that accept vouchers, 2506 people/families in the housing choice voucher program of which 400 receive utility reimbursement, 800 elderly are served, 100 vouchers are available for 18 months for 18 year olds who age out of the system and 159 Family Unification Program vouchers are used. There are currently 10,000 people/families on the wait list after opening the system last year and it will be another 4‐5 years until it will open again.The Grapevine Housing Authority administers both the Public Housing Program and the Housing Choice Voucher (formerly known as Section 8) program. Grapevine Housing Authority owns 98 units located on five streets. Starr Place has 20 elderly & disabled units consisting of 10 efficiencies, 8 one bedroom, 1 handicap one bedroom and 1 two bedroom. W. Texas Street has 19 elderly & disabled units consisting of 8 efficiencies, 10 one bedroom and 1 handicap two bedroom units.

Grapevine Housing Authority has an established Resident Council which sponsors social and informational activities. The County will continue to coordinate with local housing authorities on issues which affect both parties. Since year 2000, the Public Housing Authorities have developed 5‐year Agency Plans and Annual Plans under federal requirements (Public Housing Agency Plans, 24 CFR 903). Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing Tarrant County Community Development works closely with Tarrant County Housing Assistance Office to help serve the same population and to ensure resources are efficiently used by not duplicating services. In cases were public housing clients or transitional housing clients require guidance, staff knowledge is shared. Creative programs around apartment complexes are thought of to improve children's needs in apartment complexes where clusters of public housing assistance exist. Where possible, CDBG public services funds will be applied, but more discussions and thought must be had first. The Public Agency Plan describes the agency's mission, long‐range goals, and objectives for the coming five years.
