Housing Forward

Housing Forward's President and CEO Sarah Kahn joined U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner and other local leaders for a discussion on tackling homelessness. “It was great to be able to talk to Secretary Turner about the importance of the federal dollars in fueling the work we do locally on the ground,” Sarah shared with The Dallas Morning News. Since 2021, unsheltered homelessness in Dallas and Collin counties has dropped 24% as a result of our system's transformation, increased funding, and greater collaboration amongst the All Neighbors Coalition.
