The Dallas Housing Coalition is dedicated to ensuring that every member of our community has access to housing. That's why we successfully advocated in front of the Dallas City Council to appropriate $82 million in bond money across three propositions to support housing initiatives in the city of Dallas. Public/private partnerships for building multifamily housing, investments in infrastructure to boost homeownership, and increasing the supply of a diverse mix of accessible and affordable housing for all generations are essential steps toward achieving this goal. Investing in these initiatives can help create a more equitable and sustainable future for all Dallas residents.
