Community Outreach image group discussing community

The Civil Rights Office within the Human Resources Department works to enhance public awareness and to foster harmonious human relations throughout the City. To support these efforts, the department provides staff support to the Fort Worth Human Relations Commission (FWHRC) and the Fort Worth Mayor’s Committee on Persons with Disabilities (MCPD), a standing committee of the FWHRC.

The Fort Worth Human Relations Commission (FWHRC), established in 1967, is made up of community members appointed by the Fort Worth City Council and works to promote improved community relations.

Its goals include:

  •  Increasing public awareness of the FWHRC and the services provided by the Civil Rights Office of the Human Resources Department.
  • Leveraging HR commissioner networks as well as national and international civil and human rights agency networks to advise and recommend municipal best practices for all residents.
  • Advise and recommend legislative position and rationale for bills assigned to the Civil Rights Office of the Human Resources Department in alignment with established priorities as determined by City Council and CMO.
