Organization:
The Housing Authority of the City of Dallas, TX (DHA)
is an agency that builds sustainable communities, offers updated
properties that residents are proud to call home, and provides a
stepping stone to self-sufficiency.
DHA
fosters community partnerships. The Lakewest Multipurpose Center
is a perfect example of how several agencies can work together under
one roof to serve the community. At the center, DHA has partnered
with the YMCA, Head Start, the Dallas Police Department, and Parkland
hospital. Clients can access recreation programs, day care, community
safety, health care information, and other services in one convenient
location. DHA residents can choose rental housing in the private
marketplace throughout the city with the use of vouchers or participate
in innovative programs that assist clients with homeownership.
DHA continues to meet its clients' needs in the most fair, effective
and efficient ways possible. With DHA assistance, residents will
continue becoming self sufficient, contributing citizens.
