Community Empowerment

To empower our neighborhoods, and give residents a voice in district-wide issues that require changes in city policies and procedures. The group has already received recognition from city departments as a united voice for District 5.

  • An integrated community development project on St. Augustine near Elam to include an arts & technology community program/space, clinic, workforce housing, and child care.

Keeping Dallas Affordable
