Recognizing Builders of Hope for its contributions to affordable housing.

This ceremonial resolution (S.R.ANo.A540) honors Builders of Hope (BOH), a Dallas-based nonprofit, for its work in affordable housing. BOH, certified as Dallas County's only Community Housing Development Organization since 1998, has built over 500 homes, created 1,500 construction jobs, and generated an estimated $30 million in wealth for low-to-moderate-income families through homeownership programs. The resolution recognizes BOH's role in revitalizing neighborhoods, addressing gentrification, and providing homebuyer education and down payment assistance - such as $760,000 in support for 19 homes in 2025. It does not create new policy or funding but formally acknowledges BOH's contributions by directing the Texas Senate to present a copy of the resolution to the organization.
