Find why Dallas's housing catalog targets one site

Why now: The March 24 agenda bundled this site-specific catalog amendment with financial reporting on Dallas's housing finance entities across 10 briefing items, but no site is disclosed in the summarized record.

What to do: Request the March 24 Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee briefing packet — this amendment is coded site-specific even though a "resource catalog" is normally a citywide policy tool, and the same packet carries financial reports on Dallas's housing finance entities that may explain the narrow scoping.

Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)

Contact Dallas's housing committee before catalog amendment advances

What to do: Reach out to the Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee now — the March 24 briefing already previewed upcoming City Council action on this item, so it can move straight to a Council vote without another committee stop.
