Fort Worth Housing Solutions has opened Casa de Esperanza, the city’s largest permanent supportive housing effort to date.
The project was a collaborative effort between the FWHS, development partner Ojala Partners LP of Dallas, the City of Fort Worth, and other agencies that help care for the homeless in the area.
“It’s just fantastic,” said Greg Gibson, 59, who had been camping outdoors in various Fort Worth locations for the past eight years before he signed his lease last month. “Being able to come in and lock the door definitely puts my mind at ease.”
Single-occupancy units at Casa de Esperanza are available to residents who have been homeless for 12 consecutive months or more. Units are also available for residents who are disabled, 65 years or older, or have health conditions that make them vulnerable to COVID-19.
