President and Chief Executive Officer's Message


| HISTORY &  MISSION  | COMMISSIONERS   |  MEETING AGENDAS |
 | PRESS RELEASES | PRINTER FRIENDLY |


Over the past several years, the Housing Authority has been challenged to implement the changes mandated by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998.

The intent of these regulations is clearly to move welfare recipients into work and off assistance, emphasizing existing FWHA objectives. We are not merely providing decent, safe and affordable housing, but acting in a broader scope so that our customers are able to access supportive services.

 

The FWHA has been diligent in efforts to support and maintain focused service programs that:

  • Establish effective partnerships
  • Leverage resources and expertise
  • Build relationships with employers and,
  • Promote homeownership

Centering on this success, Ms. Holston's foresight and leadership has lead the way for FWHA to transition from traditional public housing to affordable and private sector housing that is scattered throughout the city of Fort Worth.
