The majority of Dallas County commissioners voted to add a homelessness and public safety tax proposal to the November election ballot.

The laws, which make it easier to build apartments, face stiff resistance from North Texas suburbs. State lawmakers vow to force cities to comply.

Housing Forward and the All Neighbors Coalition — proposed to the county a homelessness response tax to consistently fund efforts.

Housing Forward and the All Neighbors Coalition will present to a Dallas County committee on Monday a proposal for homeless tax to sustain housing and outreach efforts.

Housing Forward launched a program to eliminate street sleeping, beginning in downtown Dallas. The nonprofit received $20 million to help with its next phase.
