The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development assistance will now be held in a pool for use in future projects across the city. The government\u2019s approval lets Housing Solutions move on to the next stage of planning the redevelopment of Butler Place \u2014 the historic 42-acre former public housing site near downtown, bounded by Interstate 35W, Interstate 30 and U.S. 287 \u2014 into what it expects will be a mixed-use site.<\/p>\n

This \u201cleads the way for us to move forward with looking at the next life of Butler,\u201d Mary-Margaret Lemons, Housing Solutions president, said at the agency\u2019s Sept. 25 board meeting, where it announced the news.<\/p>\n

Housing Solutions plans to submit an application to HUD in October to convert assistance to the scattered properties<\/a> remaining in their dedicated public housing portfolio. They hope the application will be approved by the first quarter of 2026, which would end FWHS\u2019 involvement in traditional public housing.<\/p>\n
