Regional Event in North Texas

Heir’s Property and Homeownership in Dallas/Fort Worth

Join us on October 9, 2024 at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas for a special briefing about the impacts of heirs’ property on homeowners and communities in North Texas. Long overlooked and frequently misunderstood, heirs’ property impacts the financial and housing stability of families, the racial wealth gap, generational wealth transfers, as well as community and neighborhood resilience.

This half day forum will preview first of its kind research that broadens and deepens our knowledge about heirs’ property owners in urban centers through an examination of Dallas and Tarrant Counties. Through a series of engaging panels, speakers will explore actionable strategies for supporting heirs’ property owners through direct services as well as supportive local and state policies.

Don’t miss this important opportunity to connect and learn with your peers from across the region.

Public Event from 9:00a – 11:30a
