From April 10 to April 14, the City of Dallas will be celebrating National Community Development Week. This week is meant to bring attention to the Community Development Block and Home Investment Partnership Program grants.
Through these grants, the City of Dallas enjoys federal funding for homebuyer assistance, early childhood & youth services, community court, and affordable housing.
The city highlighted three real estate projects in their press release:
