Dear Pat,
Habitat for Humanity Wichita Falls is requesting that the lot located at 810 & 812 Dallas Street be donated by the
taxing entities to our program for the development of low -income housing. Since 1992 Habitat for Humanity has
built or renovated over 100 houses in Wichita Falls. Our program not only benefits the family that purchases the
zero percent mortgage from Habitat, but also the neighborhood where we build. Habitat turns an abandoned
vacant lot into a home that is paying property taxes, and as Habitat revitalizes neighborhoods all of the house
values increase, benefiting the whole community.
Sincerely,
Dan Gray
Executive Director
