Dallas is opening its doors to developers with a heart for the homeless, facilitating tours of a potential site for supportive housing. According to the city's latest bulletin, these exclusive previews are for those looking to pitch their visions for Permanent Supportive Housing to the local government.
The Department of Housing & Neighborhood, working closely with the Office of Homeless Solutions, has announced this initiative, and with a March 11 deadline for applications looming, the time to act is now—interested development teams and contractors are urged to get a firsthand look at what could be the groundwork for transformative change, the site tours are scheduled for February 1 and February 9 at 10 a.m. and those eager to attend need to RSVP by shooting an email to [email protected].
There's a number to call for the curiously minded or the confused; Darwin Wade, the Assistant Housing Director, stands ready at 214-670-3906 to field queries. Alternatively, more electronically inclined inquirers can email the same address, [email protected], to get their questions answered.
These site tours, outlined on the city of Dallas's official website at dallas.gov, offer an up-close opportunity for those who dare to imagine a future where every Dallas resident has a roof over their head and a place to call home, a chance to walk the grounds of what could be a foundation for hope, a beacon of stability in the lives of those who have lived too long without it.
