COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

 

Like a body that has been neglected and no longer functions well, Frazier urgently needs rehabilitation. Too many lots are vacant, too many houses are either abandoned or in disrepair.

But Frazier’s potential is huge. Located less than two miles from downtown Dallas on DART’s new Green Line, it is just minutes from major employment centers such as Baylor University Medical Center, the central business district, the Southwestern Medical District and the southern Dallas Logistics Hub.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

 

In the end, any neighborhood is only as strong as its people. If neighbors don’t trust one another and work together, negative forces will inevitably tear down the community. If residents don’t have high expectations both of themselves and of the public agencies that provide services, things will fall apart.

In partnership with residents, business owners and neighborhood-based organizations, FRI works to improve the quality of life and enhance the community’s ability to create the future it deserves.

COMMUNITY VOICE

 

An effective community, like an effective person, is able to identify and express its needs, desires and insights in a way that others hear, understand, take seriously and respond to. FRI works with residents and organizations to develop and practice communication skills for the betterment of the entire community.
