DALLAS -The City of Dallas Planning & Development Department will co-host an event Thursday, Oct. 15, featuring Lauren Lowery, Director of Housing and Community Development for the National League of Cities, to discuss the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a major bipartisan housing law signed in July 2026.
