The Dallas City Council approved an operator for a long-awaited permanent supportive housing effort in North Oak Cliff. The 14-0 vote to approve Catholic Charities of Dallas to operate the building at 1950 Fort Worth Avenue, a former hotel location, marked the culmination of a four-year effort. Catholic Charities currently operates three St. Jude Centers in northwest Dallas, northeast Dallas and Lake Highlands.

West says much of the time since has been engaging with some neighbors who initially opposed the plan and working to find…
There’s an empty bin in Joseph Kim’s office at the George W. Bush Institute in Dallas.

When anxiety increases, our heart…
