    Accomplishments

    The Near East Neighborhood Association includes members of various outreach groups in the Shelter District Area (Presbyterian Night Shelter, True Worth, Union Gospel Mission, Salvation Army, etc.) Our HOPE unit partners with NESNA to provide the long term solutions of this goal. We also have two officers not subject to call to the Shelter area and they are to coordinate with Shelter District Security. We work with outreach groups who provide housing for homeless individuals. Downtown Fort Worth Inc. operates an Ambassador's Program downtown to provide assistance to citizens and to help point homeless individuals to the resources. The HOPE unit is starting the street feeding detail back up to educate maverick outreach programs about organized cohesive efforts in the area to become a part of.
