    Accomplishments

    NPOs work with area businesses to address these issues including the Salvation Army at 2901 NE 28th St. and Fort Worth Northside Corps at 3023 NW 24th St and the Recovery Resource Council that is on the border of NW and Central located off hwy 121. Northwest has identified and established a point of contact with assistance programs and track placements for help at each center. The NPOs collaborated with the above mentioned organizations in addition to the FWPD Homeless coordinator.  Our priority when dealing with the Homeless is to first educate them on and offer assistance. This month we made contact with approximately several homeless individuals from two different camps and offered assistance.  We still need to follow-up to determine if any took advantage of the assistance offered. This is ongoing.
