Item No. 10 <br />TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council <br />FROM: Robert G. Vine, Assistant City Manager <br />SUBJECT: HOME PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION CONTRACT <br />DATE: November 14, 2022 <br />BACKGROUND: Paris has participated in various housing programs offered through the Texas <br />Department of Housing & Community Affairs (TDHCA), including the HOME program, which <br />provides replacement housing for qualified individuals. We have relied on vendors who specialize <br />in these state programs to administer applications, paperwork, communications, and payments, in <br />order to ensure compliance with grant requirements. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: In October, staff advertised a formal request for proposals for grant <br />administration services to assist with the recently awarded HOME program grant and received a <br />single proposal from GrantWorks. GrantWorks is a reputable organization with previous <br />experience with the HOME program. <br />BUDGET: Costs are covered by the program. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve of a resolution authorizing a Professional Services Agreement <br />with GrantWorks for administrative services for the TDHCA HOME Fund grant. <br />
