Faith in Texas envisions a Dallas that provides diverse, fair and safe housing for all people, regardless of income source, gender identity and sexuality, citizenship status, and criminal history. Every person should have a good, safe, affordable place to live–no matter what. As a beloved community, we have a responsibility to make it so if we want our families and neighbors to thrive. Join us on Saturday, December 14 at First Community Church as we discuss the history of housing in Dallas, the current moral crisis, and prepare for action to make Just Housing a reality! RSVP here.
