The City of Fort Worth recognizes the sacrifices made by Texas veterans and their families. To honor their service and ensure they receive the support they deserve, we offer programs for veterans that provide crucial one-time financial assistance for rent, mortgage and utilities, helping to prevent homelessness and stabilize the lives of our veterans and their families.
Our veteran programs are funded by grants from the Texas Veterans Commission. In addition to the programs managed by the Neighborhood Services Department's Community Action Partners, other programs are available throughout Tarrant County to support veterans and their families.
The City of Fort Worth has two programs that may assist with emergency financial relief and housing repairs to eligible veterans and their families.
