Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency

The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) was signed Sept. 26, 2006. The intent is to empower every American with the ability to hold the government accountable for each spending decision. The end result is to reduce wasteful spending in the government. The FFATA legislation requires information on federal awards (federal financial assistance and expenditures) be made available to the public via a single, searchable website.

To find out more information on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG, HOME Investment Partnerships funding (HOME) and Housing Opportunities for Persons With Aids Grant (HOPWA) awarded to the City of Fort Worth by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, please go to www.USASpending.gov.

CAPER Public Comment Period

Every year, the City of Fort Worth receives funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help people with low and moderate incomes. This money goes toward making sure everyone has a safe and affordable place to live and that there are good jobs for them.

The City tells us how they’re using this money by sending out a report called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) that shows us where the money is going, who’s using it and how it’s helping people in Fort Worth.
