Despite these hurdles, the coalition remains steadfast. "We're continuing to fundraise and grow our membership as much as possible to make ourselves sustainable and keep housing at the forefront of people's minds," Bryan affirms.
A Commitment to Inclusion
In today's digital age, technology is a powerful tool for advocacy. The coalition leverages social media, digital marketing platforms, and online tools to spread their message and mobilize support. "We have a digital marketing platform and a social media scheduler," Bryan explains. "We also used a tool called Action Network where people can write emails to the city council with a template and do that in a few short clicks." By embracing technology, the coalition amplifies its reach, engaging more people in the fight for affordable housing. Bryan adds, "We try to produce all of our content in English and Spanish. Our steering committee is made up of community representatives like Billy, who are grounded in their neighborhoods and have a direct line to the residents." Embracing Technology for Greater Impact Diversity and inclusion aren't just buzzwords for the Dallas Housing Coalition; they're integral to its mission. The coalition strives to represent all communities across Dallas, ensuring that every voice is heard. "We make a concerted effort to do outreach to neighborhood associations and community groups that represent all the communities across the city," Ashley states. "We have to have that representation to achieve our goals."
