About this file
This document is a policy framework attachment from the City of Dallas that outlines the "Drivers of Opportunity" strategic initiative, which serves as the foundational policy context for the related Eviction Advocacy Program contract opportunity. The framework establishes three core drivers that shape long-term resident outcomes: Economic Opportunity & Growth, Public Safety & Wellbeing, and Opportunity-Rich Neighborhoods. Within these drivers, the City identifies specific domains and action areas where it will lead through policy and direct investment, collaborate with departments and community institutions, or support efforts through communication and data-sharing. The framework encompasses multiple focus areas including employment opportunities, affordable housing, education, health services, public safety, civic participation, and community assets. The Eviction Advocacy Program aligns with this framework by advancing the Opportunity-Rich Neighborhoods driver through support for stable and accessible housing while providing Dallas residents pathways to economic security.
The Drivers of Opportunity framework serves as a strategic planning tool for the City of Dallas to align municipal planning, investments, and partnerships toward improving resident outcomes and neighborhood conditions. No specific pricing, funding amounts, or contract terms are detailed in this policy document. The framework indicates that the City can engage in various roles depending on the initiative, ranging from direct leadership and investment to collaborative partnerships with anchor institutions or supportive roles that enable community-led efforts. This policy document provides the strategic context for the Eviction Advocacy Program, which is administered by the City's Office of Housing and Community Empowerment to provide legal representation and support services at no cost to vulnerable tenants facing eviction in Dallas.
