Dallas Housing Finance Corporation has been recognized to receive the National Association of Local Housing Finance Agencies Award of Redevelopment Excellence for its acquisition, renovation, and rehabilitation of The Citizen (formerly Midpark Towers). The Property had long been a challenging site for the City as there were consistent complaints about safety, functioning elevators, and crime. Prior to its partnership with the developer the property needed significant capital improvement, building system updates, and better operational oversight to ensure resident and community safety. DHFC’s partnership with the developer has helped provide the critical funding solutions necessary for these needs to be met.
The Citizen provides deep affordability to its residents and serves some of our most vulnerable populations – including seniors, those with housing choice vouchers, and residents in Rapid Rehousing programs who may have recently experienced or are in serious risk of homelessness. The project adds 202 units that our City can access to move individuals from the streets or from bridge/transitional/or unsafe housing options to a newly renovated clean unit with respectful management and security onsite.
