A program to rehouse people experiencing homelessness is renewing its push to encourage landlords to open their doors, with the lure of guaranteed income and...
Landlords’ screening criteria often prevent low-income households from renting units because of issues like past evictions, Robinson says.
That’s why Housing Forward and other homeless service nonprofits have created teams that engage with and recruit landlords to participate in the program. Dallas and Collin counties’ homeless response network has housed over 1,611 people through the collaborative $72 million program Dallas R.E.A.L. Time Rapid Rehousing Initiative,Housing Forward previously announced a goal to find 500 units by the end of February, but the agency halved the amount and sped up the timeline to meet needs more urgently, said Sara Craig, vice president of development and communications.
Amanda Fuller, an leasing agent in Dallas, says her property management company saw the need to help house people in D-FW and began learning about the process. “The turn around can be very slow.” she said. “We used to see anywhere from 15-30 days. However, [DHA Housing Solutions for North Texas] has improved greatly on the turn around time to get these individuals or families placed, typically once it is started we are looking at a turn around of about 10-14 days.”
