This study evaluates the current environment for mixed-income transit oriented
development along DART rail within the city limits of Dallas. A close look at income
and racial disparity is used as the foundation for advocating for a more proactive and
aggressive approach to the development of affordable units proximate to affordable
transportation choices. Assembling financing for mixed-income TOD projects is
especially challenging, and multiple layers of federal, state, and city funding mechanisms
are required for achieving the capital requirements of the development. Both typical
affordable housing funding methods and new and nontraditional funding methods for
multifamily housing were researched and evaluated with the intention to propose
possibilities for catalyzing development in DART station areas within the City of Dallas
that have, to this point, experienced underdevelopment. / text
