DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS
The mission of the Diversity & Inclusion Department is to support City Council priorities of economic development,
community investment, community safety, infrastructure, responsible growth and fiscal responsibility by
developing resident resilience, opportunity, and access to ensure a thriving Fort Worth community. We educate
stakeholders on best practices in municipal optimization of services for all residents, and promote the
enforcement of city ordinances, state and federal regulations including Capital Access, Non-Discrimination,
Business Equity and Title II- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Title VI. 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 Opportunity, Civil Rights, and Municipal Access.
The Business Opportunity Division supports capacity building efforts for aspiring, and existing small local
businesses including business equity, Veteran and Service Disabled Veteran firms, leads efforts to address
fairness in City contracting and procurement, and assists small, local emerging firms in gaining access to prime
contracting and sub-contracting opportunities offered through city procurement in compliance with the City
Council-approved Business Equity Ordinance or its most recent version.

The Civil Rights 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 in employment, housing, places of public
accommodation, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title VI and in City programs and services in compliance
with the Human Relations Ordinance (Chapter 17 of City Code).
