The Palm Tree Apartments

2625 Race St, Fort Worth, Texas 76111

Under Flora’s leadership, the Paulo's Foundation purchased and renovated the 60-year-old, 24-unit Palm Tree Apartments complex—once a crime-ridden blight on the Six Points Urban Village in east Fort Worth—to reduce homelessness by providing affordable housing for people, 80% of whom had lived unsheltered in the neighborhood. The DRC provides on-site case management to support residents and assure neighbors the Palm Tree Apartments will be an asset, and Fort Worth Housing Solutions vouchers keep rents affordable at the complex, the housing authority’s first site-based partnership with a private developer.
