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

The mission of the Neighborhood Services Department is to build strong neighborhoods by empowering residents
with housing, community development, and social services. Services are delivered through the following divisions:
Housing and Community Development, Administrative Financial Services; Compliance; Neighborhood
Development and Revitalization; Planning and Reporting; Rehabilitation and Home Improvements; and
Community Services.

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.
