PY 2013 Action Plan - Draft - Tarrant County

As CoC Lead, the Tarrant County Homeless Coalition represents all agencies that are members to the
CoC and are aware of needs in the community. Agencies such as Meals on Wheels or services for the
Aging were not formally consulted as ESG funds are specific for homeless populations. However,
through other meetings and networking opportunities clients from Meals on Wheels and Tarrant County
Aging Services were provided with information about Tarrant County Housing rehabilitation program so
that our services may be provided to those in need.

Lack of transportation affects where a family may live. As such,
Tarrant County is closely involved with transit accessibility for
those who lack affordable transportation. The TRN is
comprised of providers, interested citizens and agencies that
receive funding and can seek alternate funding to help match
housing needs and transportation needs which affect health,
education and daily living. Tarrant County will take information
in mind to develop appropriate housing for those who lack
transportation and in seeking other transportation grants
related to housing.
Through a partnership with the North Central Texas Council of
Governments, the Cities of Benbrook, Fort Worth, Lake Worth,
River Oaks, Sansom Park, Westworth Village, and White
Settlement and in conjunction with Tarrant County, a need
was identified to conduct planning studies for the area
surrounding the Naval Air Station Fort Worth, Joint Reserve
Base (NAS Fort Worth, JRB). The community identified goals to
evaluate transportation options, support economic
development initiatives, evaluate housing and retail markets in
the area, and complete local government comprehensive plan
updates. Tarrant County CDBG is anticipated to help
implement development plans in the future.
