Directions Home
 |
Briefly know as Directions Home, the vision and purpose of Fort Worth’s ten-year plan is to assure that homelessness will be a rare, short-term and non-recurring experience in Fort Worth, Texas by the year 2018.
|
|
There are three major goals.
- Homelessness will become rare as every year fewer households will fall out of housing and into homelessness.
- Homelessness will be short-term, with no one homeless more than twelve months, thus ending the chronic homelessness that currently exists.
- Homelessness will be non-recurring, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

- Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief hosted a series of meetings at which the plan was presented.
- On May 5, 2008 a meeting was held at UCC targeted to the city’s interfaith community, both clergy and congregational leaders.
- Following that event, the Assembly of University Christian Church met and passed a Resolution in Support of Forth Worth’s ten-year homelessness plan. Read UCC's entire Resolution.
