CPAL Launches Mobile Clinic to Enhance Family Planning

View more

This framework has been piloted with DISD since 2021-22 on two elementary campuses working with district administrators.

This toolkit was designed to equip school district staff to implement family-centered interventions for families that may be at risk of or currently experiencing a housing-related issue.
The toolkit includes open-source resources (e.g., family enrollment postcards) and data tools that can be adapted by local school districts and nonprofit organizations working with housing insecure families.

CPAL leadership will guide a working group aiming to maximize Dallas’ share of available federal infrastructure dollars.

Dallas is eligible for an estimated $4 billion in formula funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
The group will coordinate with officials to give voice to constituent concerns and leverage existing funds, with a goal to improve infrastructure across the city for future generations.

This 2019 report provides recommendations on non-law enforcement solutions to crime and violence in Dallas.

Philadelphia’s blight remediation program reduced firearm assaults by 39%--a relatively low-cost intervention that is backed by empirical evidence that can be implemented in Dallas.
New York’s targeted lighting pilot reduced nighttime index crimes by 36% and generated a 3x ROI. This can be replicated in Dallas by using tower lighting or expanding LED lighting in micro-geographies with high incidence of crime and low lighting.
