Dallas City Council approved joining a housing project for the homeless with St. Jude on Wednesday during its first council meeting back from its month-long summer recess.
Council members unanimously voted in favor of allocating $3 million alongside Dallas County for the project. The item passed as part of the meeting’s consent agenda.
The homeless housing project known as St. Jude Center – Vantage Point will be located at 9019 Vantage Point Dr. and funded by both the City of Dallas and Dallas County. The Dallas County Commissioner’s Court approved $3 million of funding for the project on June 6.
St. Jude Center – Vantage Point will reside in a former Extended Stay America Hotel that has been dubbed the “Hotel from Hell” by local residents due to surrounding criminal activity, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.
