A controversial plan to house formerly homeless people at a vacant hospital resurfaced Monday at Dallas City Hall.
An advisory committee was formed by surrounding residents. Most of them wound up opposing the project. Two of the advisory members spoke with NBC 5 Monday.
“They were going to pull it and let the neighborhood decide, the people in the neighborhood decide what should happen there. And then we didn’t hear a word. We heard nothing,” Ann said. The Dallas City Council Housing and Homeless Solutions Committee heard the plan Monday to seek $17.7 million in the 2024 public improvement bond referendum to renovate the building.
Garcia said the Hampton Road site would be an excellent location to develop affordable single-family for-sale housing. She said neighbors have told her they would support that.
