Dallas Leaders Praise MDHA’s Progress And Discuss Need For More Housing


Dallas Council Member
Jerry Allen
“All you have to do is drive around and look, and you see less homelessness... When you go over to The Bridge you see hope in people’s faces.
MDHA what a great job they’ve done”
Dallas County Commissioner
Dr. Elba Garcia
“Our plan is to develop 1,800 new units by 2015….mental health and substance abuse have to be addressed in the homeless population as well as in the at risk population. One of the more alarming trends is that we’re seeing more women and children, more families going into homelessness.”

Dallas Housing Authority President
& CEO MaryAnn Russ
“There’s been a 36 percent increase in homeless women and children since 2010…I believe it’s an under count. We’re working with MDHA to develop solutions to family homelessness.”
Dallas County Criminal Justice
Director Ron Stretcher
“The dollars we spend on housing and support services are less dollars we have to spend on having to arrest someone or time in prison.”

Dallas City Council Member
Carolyn Davis
“I think permanent supportive housing is the key. It is the key to our future. We must deal with this issue. Let’s not give up.”
MDHA President & CEO Mike Faenza
“We’re proud and grateful to have the partners you heard from today…I believe we can be the first city in America to end chronic homelessness and it’s because of the leadership here today.”
