What is the Essential Housing program?
In addition to our market-rate residences, Oakhouse offers a selection of luxury apartment homes to households earning below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). These residences are designed to support essential workers and other members of our community, including those employed by the Dallas Police Department, Dallas Fire-Rescue, Dallas ISD, Texas Health Resources, Methodist Health System, healthcare professionals, educators, military personnel, first responders, grocery and retail workers, hospitality employees, and many others.
By offering attainably priced housing opportunities, Oakhouse helps create a sustainable and diverse community where residents can live closer to their workplaces and the neighborhoods they help serve and strengthen every day.
