Hard Conversations: YIMBY – How Dallas Got to Yes on Housing and Shelter for Homeless People

What and Who: On May 8, 2019, the Dallas City Council unanimously approved a zoning change that will allow the Salvation Army to build a new campus to replace the Carr P. Collins Social Service Center. This remarkable outcome was by no means preordained.

Dallas City Council Member Omar Narvaez, former Dallas City Council Member Angela Hunt and Executive Director of the Carr P. Collins Social Service Center, Blake Fetterman will discuss how, working with local property owners, they got to yes, and how their work can serve as a model for the future.
