    Accomplishments

    The Near East Neighborhood Association includes business workers from various groups in the Shelter District Area (Presbyterian Night Shelter, True Worth, Union Gospel Mission, Salvation Army, etc. 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.  Numerous homeless individuals have been helped in conjunction with working with outreach workers. Downtown Fort Worth Inc. operates an Ambassador's Program downtown to provide assistance to citizens and to help point homeless individials to the resources. Note: Now that we have a homeless unit (HOPE), this task is going to to be removed from NPOs and assigned to HOPE for an attempt at more data.
