DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS

Created in 2015, the Neighborhood Services Department implements programs that promote economic
independence, sustainable housing, and healthy successful neighborhoods. The department partners with
residents, businesses, non-profits, and other governmental entities to support community development, social
services, and human capital development.

The goal of the Neighborhood Services Department is to enhance the quality of life for residents by strengthening
neighborhoods. Services are delivered through the following divisions: Housing and Community Development,
Administrative Financial Services; Neighborhood Development and Revitalization; Compliance; Planning/
Reporting; Rehabilitation and Home Improvements; Community Services; Neighborhood Community Centers; and
Directions Home.

The Housing and Community Development Division is focused on the development of affordable housing and the
management of community improvement projects funded by federal grants. The Division manages the annual City
policy review of projects applying for federal housing tax credits and supports the Fort Worth Housing Finance
Corporation in incentivizing the development of affordable housing. This division also administers the
Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) program.

The Administrative Financial Services Division oversees the department’s budget, finance, grant management,
accounts payable, procurement and human resources functions. It also administers affordable housing loans and
the City’s homebuyer assistance programs (HAP).
