REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or after November 20, 2026, the City, on behalf of DHA- Housing Solutions for North Texas, will submit a request to the HUD Fort Worth Regional Office for the release of: Public Housing Authority Capital Program Funds under 24 CFR Part 905.10(i) as authorized by The Public Housing Capital Fund Program Authority: 42 U.S.C. 1437g, 42 U.S.C. 1437z-2, 42 U.S.C. 1437z-7, and 3535(d) as amended, to undertake the following project:
Project Title: Lakewest Village
Purpose: The proposed undertaking consists of rehabilitation and modernization improvements to approximately 50 existing single-family public housing residences located along Lake Pointe Drive, Lake Hollow Drive, and Lake Bend Drive within the Lakewest Village community in Dallas, Texas. The scope of work includes replacement of deteriorated cedar wood privacy fencing; roof repairs and replacements as needed; replacement of existing front, rear, and storage doors; installation of new locksets and related security hardware; and interior rehabilitation activities including kitchen and bathroom remodeling and associated upgrades to finishes, fixtures, and building components. Work will occur within previously developed areas and existing residential structures and will generally consist of the replacement, repair, and modernization of aging materials and building systems.
The proposed improvements will not increase residential density, expand building footprints, alter land use, or change the existing residential function of the property. All activities are limited to rehabilitation, repair, replacement, and modernization of existing facilities and infrastructure. The project is intended to improve the safety, security, functionality, and livability of the community while supporting the continued operation of the existing public housing development.
Existing Conditions and Trends: The proposed project is necessary to address deferred maintenance and rehabilitation needs within the Lakewest Village public housing community and to preserve the long-term viability of existing affordable housing resources. Existing fencing, roofing systems, exterior doors, locking hardware, and interior building components have deteriorated through age, weather exposure, and normal use and require repair or replacement to maintain safe, decent, and sanitary housing conditions for residents.
The project will improve resident safety and security, enhance building performance, reduce future maintenance needs, and extend the useful life of approximately 50 existing single-family residential units. The undertaking represents reinvestment in existing public housing assets and supports DHA's efforts to maintain quality affordable housing opportunities for current and future residents.
Location: 50 single family houses located on Lake Pointe Dr., Lake Hollow Dr., and Lake Bend Dr. The approximate center coordinates are 32.784417N, -96.859282W
Description: The Lakewest Village community is part of the broader Lakewest redevelopment undertaken by DHA, Housing Solutions for North Texas (formerly the Housing Authority of the City of Dallas). Based on available information, the residential development was constructed beginning in 2000. Accordingly, the residential buildings are less than 50 years old and do not appear to meet the National Register of Historic Places' general age threshold for consideration.
The primary purpose of the proposed project is to undertake a number of improvements to single-family residential units located within the community. The scope of work includes fence replacement; Roof replacement; Replacement of exterior doors and locks; and Interior remodeling, including kitchen and bathroom improvements.
The proposed work is confined to replacement of existing building components and systems intended to improve the functionality, safety, and livability of the residential units. The undertaking would not alter land use, increase residential density, expand building footprints, or otherwise change the character of the existing development.
DHA- Housing Solutions for North Texas will disburse $2,300,000.00 in Public Housing Capital Funds (CFP) funds once all HUD requirements are satisfied.
Project Issues: No project issues were identified.
Mitigation Measures/Conditions/Permits (if any): Work shall cease if any buried cultural materials are found during construction; All construction activities will be restricted to daylight hours during a typical Monday through Friday work week, as an effort to minimize potential impact to surrounding neighbors; radon sampling will be required following the renovation of the existing structures
Estimated Total HUD Funded Amount: $2,300,000.00
