DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS
The City Manager’s Office is comprised of four divisions: Administration, Mayor and Council, Office of the Police
Oversight Monitor, and Intergovernmental Relations, which includes Directions Home, Education Strategies, and
Veterans Affairs initiatives, and operates with support from the administrative team.

Administration is responsible for administering the programs and policies established by the City Council. It directs
and coordinates the operations of the city departments and informs and advises the City Council regarding city
transactions, existing conditions and future requirements.

The Intergovernmental Relations Unit includes an Intergovernmental Relations Manager that builds strategic
partnerships with local city and county leaders, fosters positive relationships with external stakeholders, and
oversees the full-time staff in the Education Strategies, Directions Home, and Veterans Affairs, initiatives.

Directions Home is a strategy aimed at making homelessness rare, short term and non-recurring. Directions
Home oversees contracts to reduce homelessness and keep clients housed, works with community partners to
align resources and processes to most effectively reduce homelessness, and facilitates development of
permanent supportive housing to reduce chronic homelessness. The Directions Home program transferred to City
Manager’s Office from Neighborhood Services in June 2024.
Education Strategies functions to leverage the City of Fort Worth’s resources towards improving education and
developing a more competitive workforce by establishing strategic partnerships and collaborations with various
school districts, businesses, social service agencies, and community institutions.
