DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS
The mission of the Diversity and Inclusion Department is to support City Council priorities of economic
development, community investment, community safety, infrastructure, responsible growth and fiscal
responsibility. This is done through equity, opportunity, access and resilience policy and strategy development for
resource allocation and decision making. We educate stakeholders on best practices in municipal
operationalization, and promote the enforcement of fairness in housing, employment, public accommodations,
Title VI and the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). The department also promotes progress in municipal service
delivery, internal workforce development, capital projects, and quality of life for all residents in public safety,
economic development, education, governance, health, housing and transportation.

The Department has three divisions: Business Equity, Civil Rights Enforcement, and Municipal Equity.
The Business Equity Division supports capacity building efforts for aspiring and existing small local businesses,
including business equity firms. It also leads efforts to address fairness in City contracting and procurement, and
assists small, local emerging and business equity firms in gaining access to prime contracting and sub-contracting
opportunities offered through city procurement. This is in compliance with the City Council approved Business
Equity Ordinance.

The Civil Rights Enforcement Division works to provide equitable treatment and justice for all under the law by
providing education on, and enforcement of, the civil rights of Fort Worth residents. These include rights in
employment, housing, places of public accommodation, and in City programs and services in compliance with the
Human Relations Ordinance (Chapter 17 of City Code).
