DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS

Created in 2015, the Neighborhood Services Department implements programs that promote economic
independence, sustainable housing, and healthy successful neighborhoods. The partnerships that the department
develops with residents, businesses, non-profit, and government agencies enhance community development,
social services and human capital development.

The goal of the Neighborhood Services Department is to enhance quality of life for residents by strengthening
neighborhoods. Services are delivered through the following divisions: Housing and Neighborhood Development
(formerly Housing and Community Development); Administration and Loan Services; Community Resources
(formerly Community Services); Neighborhood Stabilization and Outreach; Compliance and Planning; and
Rehabilitation and Construction Management.

The Housing and Neighborhood Development Division (formerly Housing and Community Development Division)
coordinates redevelopment projects and administers the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) program, as
well as grant funded and non-grant funded affordable housing and community development projects.

The Administration and Loan Services Division oversees the department’s budget, finance, and human resources
functions while also administering affordable housing loans and the city’s homebuyer assistance programs (HAP).

The Community Resources Division (formerly Community Services Division) oversees seven of the city’s network
of community centers and one Community Action Partner (CAP) center. The centers provide recreational, leisure
and essential human services. This division also delivers more than $12 million in state and federal grant-funded
social services to eligible households in Fort Worth and Tarrant County through the Community Action Partners
program.
