Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson partnered with neighboring cities and counties to pool federal American Rescue Plan dollars to fund the $70 million Dallas Real Time Rapid Rehousing (DRTRR) to provide permanent supportive housing for 2,600 people experiencing homelessness. Leveraging federal funding and housing vouchers, DRTRR aims to serve 100 domestic violence survivors, 100 families, and over 2,400 unsheltered individuals.
