Mission Statement
The mission of NICA is to prevent poverty by helping
people in need help themselves and their neighbors.
Core Values
People have the capacity to change, and to exert control
over their lives. People can function in the community when provided
varying degrees of support, and should be encouraged to function as
independently as possible. People should play active roles in the
helping process. The helping system must be flexible as people's needs
and strengths are unique, wide ranging, and vary over time.
Core Purpose
To provide a means through which persons, churches and agencies on the
north side of Fort Worth can join together to share ministries, program
personnel and facilities in order to be of service to the community. To
mobilize and coordinate the use of resources of the community at large
and other such sources as may be available. To promote social welfare
and combat community deterioration in low-income areas of Tarrant County
by providing low-income persons with self help programs to improve the
quality of their economic and social participation in community life in
such a way as to contribute to the elimination of poverty.
