The Office of Housing and Community Empowerment (OHCE) is helping Dallas residents get a clearer picture of how their city supports housing development through a set of newly released training videos centered on the operations of the Dallas Housing Finance Corporation (DHFC) and Dallas Public Facility Corporation (DPFC).
