The Department of Housing & Community Development, in partnership with the Office of Homeless Solutions, has announced site tours for the property at 4150 Independence Drive, offering a unique chance for development teams and contractors. Aimed at those interested in applying for the Permanent Supportive Housing Development and Operations, they have issued a Notice of Funding Availability, with the submission deadline slated for November 18. Specifically, these tours are a preliminary step for parties considering a submission and are scheduled for tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. and Friday, October 11 at 10:00 a.m., as reported by the City of Dallas.
To attend one of these site tours, interested organizations must email [email protected] to RSVP for their preferred date and time slot. Visiting the site is seen as a critical component of the due diligence process before the application deadline in November. Attendance of this step not only helps in understanding the specifics of the property but also in gauging the extent of the commitment required for the project. As per the guidelines, to appropriately prepare for the visit, all documentation and supporting materials for the 4150 Independence Drive PSH NOFA can be downloaded from the PSH NOFA Website.
Darwin Wade, Assistant Housing Director, will serve as a point of contact for any queries or clarifications needed by the prospective applicants. He is reachable at 214-670-3906 or through the aforementioned email address, to facilitate a smooth and transparent process for those with an interest in this project. The city’s push for permanent supportive housing developments is clearly outlined in the NOFA, intending to provide solutions for homelessness through long-term housing strategies, supported by adequate services.
