The plan could open up another 360 units annually to help house those in need.
Through the master lease program, Housing Forward will negotiate 12–24 month leases for the homeless with willing landlords.In an attempt to break down barriers to housing the homeless, Dallas approved athis week. But Dallas City Council member Cara Mendelsohn said “master lease” isn’t the best way to describe the program.
This master lease program allocates $3 million to Housing Forward, the lead organization for Dallas and Collin counties' homeless response system. The funds will go toward paying for items like security deposits and application fees that could otherwise keep people out of housing. The money will also go toward incentivizing landlords to take in voucher holders or people with bad rental or credit history, leasing to them individually.
To make a point about Dallas’ urgency to house the homeless, Mendelsohn wanted updates on all of the projects. She got a partial answer before City Council member Chad West called a point of order over her questions. He said he was upset about the timeline on these projects, too, but that it wasn’t relevant to their discussion about the master lease program.by text Thursday.Observer
