DALLAS CITY HOMES

The Armonia Apartments

Armonia Apartments is a 15-unit development located in the historically rich La Bajada neighborhood of West Dallas. It is designed to provide high-quality, attainable housing for a diverse range of residents. The name “Armonia,” meaning harmony, was selected in collaboration with the La Bajada Neighborhood Association and reflects a shared vision for unity, cultural preservation, and community investment.

The property features a mixed-income model, serving residents earning between 30% and 120% of Area Median Income (AMI), alongside market-rate units. This approach supports long-term economic diversity, neighborhood stability, and a truly harmonious living environment.

This multifamily community development was made possible through a strong public-private partnership, including HUD, the City of Dallas, the Dallas Housing Opportunity Fund (DHOF), and key local stakeholders. The total development cost exceeds $4 million and is supported by a layered capital stack that blends public and private investment, including:

```
$2,085,504 in HUD HOME funds
```

$300,000 in City of Dallas grant funding for green energy investments

$1,685,100 from the Dallas Housing Opportunity Fund (DHOF)

```
$350,000 in developer equity
```

Armonia Apartments emphasizes sustainable and equitable practices throughout the construction process and beyond. This commitment is reflected in a senior set-aside (65+), with planned programming focused on social services, health awareness, and digital connectivity, including a partnership with Spectrum.

The property also incorporates green and energy-efficient features, such as solar infrastructure and EV charging access, supporting long-term affordability and sustainability. Resident well-being is prioritized in every aspect of development and continues throughout residency at Armonia Apartments, including an “all bills paid” model (utilities included) to help reduce cost burdens and improve housing stability.
