The proposed low income homes would
be three and four bedroom houses for
families is under federal
orders to come up with 106 new
housing units to make up for the housing
lost when the old Washington players
project was bulldozed three years ago.
The land sold to Baylor Hospital.
The philosophy is to disperse
the low income families throughout the
city into existing neighborhoods
to avoid the ghettoization of low income
housing that has existed for decades.
Seven sites have been selected three
and exclusive North Dallas, two in
southeast Dallas and two more in
southwest Dallas near Duncanville.
Representatives from the affected
neighborhoods had a wide variety
of reasons why their areas would be
bad for the poor people.
One woman even said low income people
in her neighborhood would not be able to
afford child care.
A family with two children who
qualify for occupancy
within the proposed site
would spend a minimum of seven thousand
and twenty dollars per year for
child care.
