 The Fort Worth Housing Authority
(FWHA) develops, owns and operates housing
for low income families who cannot afford housing offered in the
private market.
Established in 1938, the Fort Worth Housing Authority was created by
the City of Fort Worth in accordance with enabling legislation enacted
through the State of Texas Housing Authorities Law. The Authority is a
'public body, corporate and politic' which is governed by a five
member Board of Commissioners. The Commissioners are appointed by the
Mayor for two-year terms and may be reappointed. In July 1993, the
Texas Legislature passed HB 1457, which requires that one of the five
Commissioners, be a resident of public housing. The Resident
Commissioner may not be reappointed to successive terms.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides
guidelines, regulations and funding for the agency's operation.
The Housing Authority of the City of Fort Worth is committed to
providing adequate affordable housing in a suitable living environment
to low and moderate income individuals and families without
discrimination; and to creating economic opportunities for our
customers to become self-sufficient.
In order to achieve this Mission, we will:
- Expand housing opportunities in the Fort Worth area.
- Provide information and referral services.
- Manage our resources efficiently and effectively.
- Network with other groups and organizations that share our goals
to improve the quality of life for individuals and families.
- Educate the community about who we are and what we do.
