Congratulations to our client Resource Center as they celebrated the official grand opening of Oak Lawn Place this week.

Oak Lawn Place is an affordable senior housing development that is LGBTQIA+ affirming. The first of its kind in North Texas. And what does that mean? It is open to anyone who qualifies, while also supporting the LGBTQIA+ seniors.

The creation of an affirming and inclusive housing option for LGBTQ seniors in North Texas is a critical component of Resource Center’s vision for an equitable society in which all community members are afforded the opportunity to thrive without bias or barriers based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or HIV status. By recognizing and addressing their unique needs, Oak Lawn Place empowers individuals to age with dignity, foster a sense of belonging, and preserve their invaluable contributions to society. The goal of the project is to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, have access to safe and supportive housing as they embark on their golden years.

The development has 79 one-bedroom units and 5 two-bedroom units in a new five-story building with a large outdoor terrace that overlooks a creek and, from the upper levels, allows for dynamic views of downtown Dallas. Amenities include a lobby, community room, conference/dining room, kitchen, fitness room, and a business center.

The project broke ground last year and completed its construction in July of 2024. Residents started to move into this accommodating facility in mid-July.
