Today we celebrated the groundbreaking of Hughes House II, marking an important step toward expanding affordable and permanent supportive housing in Stop-6. When completed, Hughes House will provide 542 mixed-income housing units on the site where the former Cavile Place once stood.

This project represents continued investment in the community and a commitment to creating quality housing opportunities for residents. Congratulations to everyone who helped make this milestone possible! 🎉🏘️

It was an honor to attend the “Health in the Hood” Mental Health Wellness Symposium. Events like this play a vital role in raising awareness, reducing stigma, and connecting our communities with valuable mental health resources. Thank you to the organizers, speakers, and community partners for creating meaningful conversations that promote wellness and support for all.

I was in the room last night where it matters listening, learning, and building solutions alongside community members, service providers, and local leaders focused on Juvenile Justice reform.

Special thanks to Community Frontline, For Oak Cliff and Lone Star Justice Alliance for leading this critical conversation. Our youth deserve better, and this community is stepping up.
