Fort Worth Affordable Housing Project Moving Forward
“This is a location that really struggled. It’s been kind of an epicenter of a lot of things in that neighborhood that weren’t necessarily positive. So, for us to be able to remove that and bring it quality, affordable housing that is going to be a solution for these families is really going to be life-changing,” she said.
The project will cost nearly $12 million. Tarrant County Commissioners approved a commitment of $8 million on Tuesday. “I think the folks over at the Las Vegas Trail and the corridor, they’ve been looking for having some revitalization for a long, long time. More than that, I think the community at large,
and Fort Worth, can be confident in this court that leadership, nonprofit really does care about every single corner of this community,” Precinct 4 Commissioner Manny Ramirez said.According to Lemons, the city is expected to provide about $2 million in funding. She said she is confident the remaining $1.9 million gap will be filled through local foundations, nonprofits, and grants.
Construction is expected to take about 10 months and they're hopeful families could potentially move in by spring 2024.
