  4. Vision Statement By 2028, Fort Worth will have an adequate and diverse supply of housing, distributed throughout the City. To achieve this vision, all organizations involved with housing in Fort Worth will strive to collaborate so their resources are used effectively,reducing duplication and creating synergiesto maximize housing choices and assistance to Fort Worth residents.

  5. Guiding Principles Fort Worth’s housing supply should be adequate to provide housing for all households. Fort Worth’s housing supply should include a variety of housing types so people at all income levels have housing choices that are appropriate for their age, ability and household structure. All parts of Fort Worth should include a mix of housing types for people of all income levels. People who are homelessshould be offered a place to live with appropriate subsidies and assistance. Housing resources should give priority to those with the greatest need. Financial assistance should be available to help households “fill the gap” in resources needed so they can live in safe, adequate housing. Households’housing and transportation costs should not burden their incomes to the point that they cannot afford food, medicine and other basic needs. Neighborhoods should be designed to support healthy lifestyles. Housing for people needing special assistance should incorporate design features and support services to meet these needs. Residents should have the information and education that enables them to access available housing assistance.
