City celebrates National Community Development Week, April 6–10

The City of Fort Worth is celebrating National Community Development Week, April 6-10. This year’s theme, “Be a Good Neighbor,” promises a week full of activities highlighting the positive impact of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs across our community.

These federal grants support low- and moderate-income residents by funding affordable housing development, home rehabilitation, neighborhood infrastructure improvements and essential public services that strengthen Fort Worth neighborhoods.
