The Dallas City Council has approved an agreement to establish a transitional housing community for veterans experiencing homelessness. This initiative will utilize approximately 7.33 acres of city-owned land located in District 4, represented by Council Member Maxie Johnson. The Veterans Community Project, recognized for its effective model in addressing veteran homelessness, will develop small residential units and a community center on this site. The project aims to provide on-site supportive services to assist veterans in transitioning out of homelessness, marking a significant step forward after several unsuccessful attempts to develop the property since it was acquired by the city in 2015. The Office of Economic Development collaborated with Johnson over the past six months to evaluate the feasibility of this veterans-focused housing development, ultimately leading to this partnership with the Veterans Community Project.
