Helping West Dallas Homeowners Stay in Their Homes
A joint initiative between Builders of Hope CDC and Wesley Rankin Community Center, the West Dallas Homestead Preservation Center provides practical support to help homeowners stay rooted, protect their property, and preserve generational wealth.
Our Home Preservation Model
The Home Preservation Model is a community-based approach designed to help long-time homeowners stay in place and protect their greatest asset—their home.
By combining property tax assistance, legal support, and home repair coordination, the model addresses the root causes of displacement. Each service works together to reduce financial strain, preserve family wealth, and strengthen neighborhood stability for generations to come.
