    Making Positive Changes

    The Dallas Collaborative for Equitable Development (DCED) is dedicated to equitable housing and real estate development, jobs and wealth creation, and community ownership and leadership opportunities in three Dallas neighborhoods considered most vulnerable to rapid economic transition:

    The Bottom

    West Dallas–Census Tract 205

    The Forest District

    TREC Community Investors took the lead in the creation of the DCED by joining forces with partner organizations Dallas College and LiftFund. It was launched in October 2019 thanks to a generous $6 million investment from JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Partnerships for Raising Opportunity in Neighborhoods (PRO Neighborhoods) program.
