Email City Council Your Support of a Pro-Housing Forward Dallas

Dallas is currently looking at updating Forward Dallas, the city's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. View the full plan and more here. Forward Dallas will inform and influence future zoning and land use throughout the whole city. The current draft plan is one that will move Dallas towards being more affordable, more livable, and more environmentally-friendly. But some individuals are lobbying for Forward Dallas to do nothing but maintain our current status quo. Email City Council that you support a Forward Dallas that provides greater housing options across our neighborhoods and promotes an inclusive vision for our city.

We sent over 1200 letters to the City Plan Commission, and they made a real difference. If you sent a letter to the City Plan Commission before, THANK YOU. Now, our City Council needs to hear from us as well! Please take one minute to send an email to every council member.

If you or someone you know has struggled to deal with skyrocketing housing costs in Dallas, Forward Dallas is your chance to give feedback and help create a city that has enough housing to be affordable for all.

Specifically, we are fighting for a Forward Dallas that advocates for

1. A Community Residential Placetype that accommodates more housing within single-family neighborhoods.

2. An emphasis on Mixed-Use and more housing in commercial and formerly industrial areas.

3. ADUs by right across Dallas neighborhoods.
