Today at the Communities Foundation of Texas, we discussed public-private partnerships in shaping Dallas’ housing policy and key pillars: Production, Preservation, & Partnerships. Also major thanks to CFT for their $50 million commitment to housing! @GiveWisely

From production and preservation to partnerships and policy, we look forward to being part of the solution for years to come and the impact this funding will make for our communities and the Dallas region at large.

I cannot think of a more philanthropic community than DFW, and one of the reasons we’re so giving is because of the Communities Foundation of Texas. They’ve been around since 1953, and I’m blessed to have in the studio a good friend, Calvert Collins-Bratton, who is the Chief Relationships Officer.
