 The National Community Development Week has finally arrived. National Community Development Week is a time when we get to recognize the accomplishments and impacts of the Community Development Block Grant, or CDBG, and Home Investment Partnerships grants on our community. This week is filled with different ways to learn more about how federal funds are working right here in our city. We will hear from elected officials, take a look at some projects that are funded by CDBG and Home Grants, and so much more. This year, we are excited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Community Development Block Grant, so to make this celebration extra special, we will be hosting a community event on April 4th at Worth Heights Community Center from 6 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. There will be a panel discussion on affordable housing and community development featuring city staff and community partners, along with a kid zone, light dinner, and lots of prizes and giveaways for both our kids and adults in attendance. We encourage all who are interested in learning all about the barriers, plans, and entities involved in creating more affordable housing in Fort Worth to attend.
