    Accomplishments

    HOPE Team provides a variety of services along the East Lancaster corridor and Downtown.  HOPE also has two officers not subject to call to the Shelter area and they coordinate with Shelter District Security.  We work with various outreach groups who provide a variety of services for homeless individuals in the East Lancaster and Downtown areas. HOPE activities altered their AOR to include the southern downtown area due to shelter expansion to the Convention Center.  Downtown Fort Worth Inc's Ambassador's Program downtown also provides assistance to citizens and to help direct homeless individuals to the appropriate area for resources.
