FORT WORTH
NEIGHBORHOOD &
COMMUNITY OUTREACH OFFICE
The
Neighborhood & Community Outreach Office is part of the Community
Relations Department (CRD). The Neighborhood & Community
Outreach Office serves the residents of Fort Worth by encouraging and
assisting neighborhoods with the organization of neighborhood
associations, helping and supporting existing neighborhood associations,
facilitating communication between residents and city departments,
providing useful information to neighborhoods, and developing
educational opportunities for neighborhood associations to continue to
grow and be successful.
~ What is a
Neighborhood Association?~
A neighborhood association represents
all residents in the neighborhood and operates through an open,
democratic process to improve or maintain the overall quality of life
for all individuals within those boundaries.
Each
neighborhood association in the City of Fort Worth defines its own
purpose, determines its goals and strategies, and develops its own
neighborhood plan.
~What is a Voluntary
Neighborhood Association?~
A
voluntary neighborhood association is an organization that represents
all residents in the neighborhood and operates through an open,
democratic process to improve or maintain the overall quality of life
for all individuals within those boundaries. Membership in a
voluntary neighborhood association is open to all the residents in the
neighborhood but participation is optional.
~What is a Mandatory
Neighborhood Association?~
Mandatory
neighborhood associations are established to maintain common areas and
enforce private deed restrictions. Unlike a voluntary association,
membership in the association is not optional. When an individual
purchases property within a mandatory association, the individual
automatically becomes a member.
