Dallas city leaders announced a new public safety initiative they hope will crack down on crime in the Mill City neighborhood in South Dallas.
Abandoned houses, trash and blighted properties plague the neighborhood which city leaders said has turned from mostly home owner neighborhood to a renter community. On Tuesday, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson announced a $100,000 grant through the mayor's Safe Communities Fund along with $50,000 from the District 7 discretionary American Rescue Plan Act to help fund this initiative.
"In order to build strong communities, those communities have to be safe," said James Armstrong, President/CEO of Builders of Hope Community Development Corporation. Mayor Johnson pointed to the city of Philadelphia who used this tactic to reduce crime and he said it's working.
