Developer
HighHigh significance — major decision, large financial impact, or broad community effectTwo affordable and workforce housing projects — Hiline at Illinois and The Caroline — were proposed for May 28 City Council consideration, illustrating the current funding stack Dallas is deploying for mixed-income development: HOME and CDBG federal loans, 4% Housing Tax Credits, DHFC ground leases, and GO Bond conditional grants for infrastructure gaps. If the DHFC and DPFC program statements addressed in items A and B are adopted, they may set revised eligibility terms and deal structures for projects seeking DHFC ground leases or DPFC public facility corporation arrangements — both of which underpin the Hiline transaction structure.
