2011 CitySquare Annual Report

HOUSING
CitySquare has worked with our partners in the community to address the lack
of affordable housing in our city by providing housing to the chronically
homeless, those at risk of homelessness, the disabled and teens aging out
of foster care. We also build and operate affordable housing communities
throughout the city to ensure that our low-income neighbors have access to
quality housing.
Destination Home – provides permanent supportive housing for over 130
homeless, disabled individuals in the private housing market. Many of these
residents served our nation in the military.
CityWalk@Akard – a unique 200-unit high-rise building in downtown Dallas.
This vertical community is comprised of formerly homeless neighbors and
others who have minimal income, but benefit from having downtown housing
with easy access to transportation.

HEALTH
We’ve learned that good health is vital to a better quality of life. But for
thousands of people without health insurance, healthcare often equals costly
emergency room visits or medical issues going untreated. CitySquare offers
solutions.
Community Health Services (CHS) Clinic – provides holistic healthcare to
uninsured patients by providing multiple services under one roof to address
the broad range of care our patients need to become and remain healthy. CHS
serves as a “medical home” to nearly 2,000 neighbors.
CHS provides more than 1,000 annual consultations to individuals living with
diabetes through its nationally recognized Community Diabetes Education
(CoDE) program.
Project Access – a community-wide network of volunteer medical specialists,
and our Community Health Navigation program (CHN) links over 1,500 lowincome,
uninsured patients with specialty care.
