Dallas Turning Another Hotel Into Homeless Shelter
- Dallas taxpayers will be footing the bill to turn a hotel into a homeless shelter. First reported by the Dallas Express‘ Noah DeGarmo, the project is expected to be launched this spring and will be the fifth such effort by the city.
- “The City purchased the hotel in February [2022] for $5 million using funds from a $1.05 billion bond package approved by voters in 2017,” wrote DeGarmo. Of that bond package, “$20 million is allocated to pay for homeless housing.”
