October 29, 1985
To the Mayor and Members of the City Council
Subject: FORT WORTH HOUSING TASK FORCE INTERIM REPORT
The Fort Worth Housing Task Force was formed in August, 1984, to perform an
analysis of the housing market in Fort Worth and to make policy
recommendations concerning those population segments and neighborhoods that
are not properly served by the market. The overall goal was to "forge policy
guidance designed to achieve long-term, cost-effective means by which all
residents of Fort Worth may participate in the market for quality housing."
The Task Force has spent much of the past year reviewing housing problems
facing the poor. In addition, they have considered the housing problems of
the elderly in order to provide staff guidance in that area, particularly in
view of the fact that proceeds from the sale of the Meadowbrook site have
been earmarked for elderly housing projects. -
Attached is the interim report from the Housing Task Force. Their
recommendations on housing problems of the poor will be presented in a second
interim report when it is completed
If additional information is desired, it will be furnished upon request.
