the cost of processing complaints of discrimination in housing under the City of Fort Worth's Fair
Housing Ordinance Each year, the FWHRC enters into a cooperative agreement with HUD for the
cooperative processing of such complaints
At the meeting of the Human Relation Commission on Sept. 22, 1997, the Commissioners voted
unanimously to recommend acceptance of the Cooperative Agreement with HUD for FY 1998-99
