E. ID 25-107 Hold a Public Hearing and consider approval of a resolution of the City of Denton supporting Denton Affordable Housing Corporation's 9% housing tax credit application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for the proposed new construction of the McAdams Haven Apartments to provide affordable rental housing; committing to provide fee reductions in an amount of $500.00; and providing an effective date.
I support and encourage council to support the DAHC McAdams Haven 9% tax credit proposal with a resolution of support and reduction in fees associated with development of the affordable housing project. Denton County currently has 580 people experiencing homelessness each day. Nearly 34% of this population could benefit from this project and the services it provides. I support this project and any others that work to close this gap for our community and so should our elected officials.
Affordable housing is a benefit to all. How much more money are we going to spend on useless raids that trash people's things & waste the police's time? How many more homeless people need to die outside due to inclement weather? People need somewhere to live. Do the Christian thing and support basic housing for our community members.
Affordable Housing is one of the best ways to reduce the number of our neighbors faced with being unhoused, but this project is more than that. Housing First initiatives have proven to be the most effective at getting people into homes and keeping them there, and the Haven Apartments will also have services on hand to help the residents recover and thrive so that they have a better chance.
I encourage City Council to approve the resolution of support for the 9% housing tax credit for the McAdams Haven project. Denton Affordable Housing Corporation's proposal aligns with City plans and priorities. The City needs additional Permanent Supportive Housing units to provide further support to individuals experiencing chronic homelessness or other vulnerable populations, and the proposed affordability and supportive services are needed to address long term solutions to homelessness.
As a Denton resident, I encourage council to approve this resolution. With continued dialogue in the city about addressing homelessness, affordable housing is a crucial avenue. The construction McAdams Haven Apartments aligns with the already approved housing bond AND would provide resources services. This is part of a long-term solution that Denton needs to support housing stability in our community.
I support this resolution, it will greatly reduce Healthcare costs by housing these folks who are forced to sleep in the elements.
It will also support those in our community whom are most in need, anyone can become unhouse at any time. It could be your neighbors, your family, or your friends. We must support our fellows and community with this outreach. Thank you for your time.
Affordable housing is a need to maintain Dentons unique culture and community and this resolution is a sure way to go about it. A similar resolution was passed in Austin that lead to a new affordable apartment building in Austin that opened last week on February the 12th. The resolution has already been proven to succeed, it is imperative that it is passed in Denton to uphold our community.
This resolution aligns directly with the goals of the $15 million affordable housing bond that our residents approved. This resolution would support what you’re residents clearly value: housing for all. I implore you to approve this resolution to help all of those in our community.
I'm a Denton mental health worker who sees firsthand how housing instability impacts those with mental health conditions. At ODB, I met a couple struggling to find housing despite their best efforts. Their story shows why we urgently need more affordable housing for disabled residents. Please approve the resolution supporting Denton Affordable Housing Corporation's tax credit application for McAdams Haven Apartments, including fee reductions. This project will help our most vulnerable neighbors.
Housing is a human right, and it is our duty as people to take care of our neighbors in need. Statistics have proven that some form of stable housing helps people to get back on their feet and off the street; Housing First approaches have reduced homelessness by up to 88% in their areas. For the sake of our community and our neighbors in need, this resolution must be approved.
Denton Affordable Housing Corporation has proven its ability to responsibly address housing issues in Denton. This project would provide much needed support to the most vulnerable citizens in our city while improving the quality of life for all Denton residents. I encourage Council to approve this resolution.
People from all walks of life deserve, at the very least, a morsel of safety and compassion. No one deserves to be homeless and the homelessness crisis in America and specifically Denton is out of control. This resolution helps the people that are ignored on the side of the street everyday. Please approve this resolution in order to help more people live a better life, they don't deserve to be ignored.
As a Denton resident I believe this resolution should receive support from our council members. The Denton community and it's unhoused residents would be positively impacted by this project and I hope it can receive the approval it needs to be carried out.

Housing is a human right. How we treat other people, especially strangers, determines our moral and ethical worth.
I support this in hopes it will reduce the amount of homeless neighbors we have here in Denton.
