Who We Build With

ADVOCATES

DCH advocates for barrier-free housing in Dallas, a city that has experienced rapid growth. If we don’t prioritize affordable housing for everyday people, who will?

DEVELOPERS

DCH identifies opportunities, assembles teams, and secures financing to bring projects to life. By leading developments, we control the pace, agenda, and priorities.

PARTNERS

DCH partners with Property Managers, Builders, Suppliers, and local Businesses. Together we’re building a Dallas that’s better for everyone–because that’s a goal that benefits everyone.

COMMUNITY

Single-family and multi-family homes lay the foundation for neighborhoods. Strong neighborhoods grow into communities, and communities shape futures and build lasting legacies.

MANAGERS

DCH manages 300+ affordable rentals across Dallas, ensuring these homes provide stability and opportunities for brighter futures through programs, events, and community support.

Our Vision

To achieve an equitable Dallas where every resident has the opportunity to succeed.

About Us

In 1989, a group of local leaders recognized the need to positively transform disinvested neighborhoods and preserve housing affordability. For over 30 years, Dallas City Homes has acquired rental properties in some of the most distressed areas of Dallas and converted those properties into safe, vibrant rental communities with good housing.

Since its inception DCH has developed or preserved the affordability of more than 2,400 apartments and participated in the construction, renovation or development of more than 350 homes for sale. DCH partners with neighborhood organizations, businesses, and national entities to support progressive housing policies that create healthy and sustainable communities.
