Verify federal grant compliance before North Stemmons lease advances
Why now: Matter 26-383A appeared twice in Committee on Finance as a Draft-status briefing (January 26 and February 3, 2026) bundling CDBG reprogramming with a 75-year lease to Good Homes Communities, LLC at 6950 North Stemmons Freeway, but no public document discloses whether the reprogramming is compliance-driven.
What to do: Request Dallas's current CDBG unspent-balance ratio — the HUD-required figure that triggers grant reductions under 24 CFR §570.902 if it exceeds 1.5 times the annual award — to determine whether this reprogramming is a corrective measure to avoid a federal sanction before the lease executes. If the ratio is already above threshold, the city's next program year grant could be cut regardless of Council action.
Act before: After lease execution by Dallas Public Facility Corporation
Request affordability meeting before North Stemmons lease terms finalize
Why now: After two Committee on Finance briefings (January 26 and February 3, 2026), the lease between the Dallas Public Facility Corporation and Good Homes Communities, LLC remained in Draft status with no affordability terms published.
What to do: Contact the Dallas Public Facility Corporation now to review the affordability conditions being negotiated for Good Homes Dallas at 6950 North Stemmons Freeway — the lease is still in Draft status, meaning income-limit floors and unit-mix ratios are not yet fixed, and waiting until execution closes your ability to influence the affordability floor that future mixed-income deals in Dallas will be measured against.
Act before: After lease execution by Dallas Public Facility Corporation
Request memo linking federal grant reprogramming to North Stemmons lease
Why now: Matter 26-383A appeared twice in Committee on Finance (January 26 and February 3, 2026) combining CDBG reprogramming with a 75-year private lease under a single matter number — both as Draft-status briefings with the $16,837,803 figure present but no staff explanation of federal fund flows.
What to do: File an open-records request for the staff memorandum explaining how Community Development Block Grant reprogramming funds connect to the Good Homes Communities, LLC lease at 6950 North Stemmons Freeway — the public record bundles a federal grant reprogramming action and a 75-year city lease to a private company under one matter number without disclosing whether federal dollars flow to the developer, which would require a separate HUD national-objective eligibility review. The $16,837,803 foregone-revenue figure has appeared across two Committee on Finance briefings with no disclosed calculation methodology.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Demand affordability terms before North Stemmons lease reaches Council vote
Why now: The $16,837,803 tax-revenue figure appeared in Committee on Finance briefings on January 26 and February 3, 2026, but no affordability conditions — unit count, income tiers, or commitment length — have been published for the Good Homes Dallas lease at 6950 North Stemmons Freeway.
What to do: Contact your Council member to request the total unit count, income-limit tiers, and length of affordability commitment for Good Homes Dallas at 6950 North Stemmons Freeway before this advances to a Council vote — a 75-year lease will lock these conditions for a generation, and after two Committee on Finance briefings the affordability terms have never appeared in any public document. Once the lease is executed, the terms cannot be renegotiated without the developer's consent.
Act before: After Council votes on lease execution
