Housing for All Webinar is live with Norma Nelson, President and CEO of Readers 2 Leaders, discussing the intersection of reading and early literacy and housing affordability in Dallas and how we can create and preserve more housing for all.

The 2024 State of Homelessness report is showing tremendous progress in Dallas and Collin Counties. While disparities in gender and race persist, in 2024, our community saw decreases across all populations in the number of neighbors experiencing homelessness. Dallas and Collin counties were among the small group of communities that reduced homelessness last year, while national rates increased. Housing Forward and the All Neighbors Coalition's next big milestone is a 50% reduction in unsheltered homelessness as compared to 2021 levels. We can do this through a $30 million public-private investment to maintain the pace that has led enabled us to house more than 10,100 individuals since 2021 and a targeted "Street to Home" approach in our public spaces. #DallasHousingForAll
