Juliette Fowler Residences contributes 144 units, though specific unit breakdowns are not available. Lakewood Gardens, also completed in 1991, completes the LIHTC inventory in the area.
The 1990s were a significant period for affordable housing development in this zip code, with at least two of the three projects being completed in 1991. This indicates that affordable housing has been present in this community for over three decades.

The absence of new LIHTC projects in the last decade may be attributed to the area's rising median income and relatively stable demographics, potentially indicating a reduced need for additional low-income housing in this specific zip code.
Zip code 75214 in Dallas has a modest LIHTC funded affordable housing inventory, with 167 units across three projects. These developments, primarily built in the early 1990s, represent about 1.31% of the estimated housing stock. While this percentage is lower than the target of 15-20% for affordable housing, other programs may contribute to the overall affordable housing inventory.
The area has experienced significant income growth over the past decade, with relatively stable racial demographics. This economic trajectory, combined with the existing LIHTC projects, may have influenced the lack of new affordable housing developments in recent years. Continued monitoring of housing needs in this zip code is necessary to ensure that affordable options remain available to those who require them.
