The latest data shows rent prices in Dallas County have gone up by some 17% this past year. It can be a lot for the average resident to absorb. But for the most vulnerable residents, it can mean facing possible eviction. A new pilot program is aimed at keeping those residents right where they are.
It's funded by the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas with help from community partners.
Through video testimonials, Dallas residents who were picked to part of an eviction prevention pilot program spearheaded by the United Way shared how the $250 they receive per month has helped them and their families stay put. The pilot program was launched in the fall of last year and targets communities with high rates of eviction filings and schools with student mobility.
While the goal is to keep vulnerable residents from facing eviction, the cash they receive yearly from the program can be used on any household need.
