30 Years of SouthFair

Happy Birthday to Us!

_30k for 30Years_ _5_.png

This year marks a very special year for SouthFair CDC. We turn 30 years old and are kissing our 20's goodbye!


Even though the pandemic limits the rules of celebration we can still acknowledge the many years of hard work and dedication from SouthFair.


A little history and then some...

SouthFair Community Development Corporation was established October 1, 1991 by Linda (Walker) Bender. Linda had the foresight and vision to create a nonprofit that would become the backbone of people first housing and economic development for low to moderate families in the South Dallas/Fair Park area, in particular the Jeffries-Meyers neighborhood.


With our latest additions, SouthFair has brought 55 families, 22-in house apartment units, 350+ multi-family units, and 30 senior units to the Fair Park area! A win for individuals, families, community, and for the city Dallas!


The year long celebration...

This year, SouthFair is raising $30,000 for 30 years of service! Help SouthFair celebrate its 30th birthday with a donation!
