The City of Houston (City), through its Housing and Community Development Department (HCDD), requests City Council to authorize and approve a Substantial Amendment which would transfer Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) activity funds to the Sponsor Administration activity within the Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids (HOPWA) 2018 Program Year Budget. The Sponsor Administration is a new activity for the 2018 HOPWA budget. The total amount of funds to be moved is $300,000.00.
In accordance with HUD’s Citizen Participation Plan regulations, the City is required to amend components of its Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan for a variety of reasons, including when a reallocation of funds increases or decreases the budget of an activity by more than 25% or when an activity is added or deleted in the Plan(s). The Substantial Amendment includes budget changes for HOPWA.
No fiscal note is required on grant items.
The Housing and Community Affairs Committee reviewed this item on February 19, 2019.
