 Oh my God. It is beautiful. First thing I'm looking at is the refrigerator. And it's stainless steel. Oh my God, look at this bathroom. Oh, this is so... Oh, she has a soka tub. Oh, this is nice. Monique Smith is excited, seeing her new apartment for the very first time. The tour includes a look at amenities such as the fitness room, patio and pool. Yeah, I'd be sitting right here. Monique has moved to Palladium, a brand new multi-family complex. It's one of many properties throughout the city that Fort Worth Housing Solutions has developed for a mix of income levels. For the previous nine years, Monique has been living here at Butler Place, a public housing property near downtown Fort Worth. When I first moved to Butler, my kids, they weren't used to this because we have always stayed in the suburbs. I'm under doctor's care. I was in a car accident where I got re-ended, so I'm doing physical therapy. Because of the accident, Monique had to quit her job as a certified nurse assistant while she recovers from injuries. And things kind of fell down and I had to resort to, you know, come here. Fort Worth Housing Authority opened Butler Place in 1940 to accommodate hundreds of families living in substandard dwellings during the Great Depression. Since that time, the aging Butler Place has become obsolete and ideas about public housing have changed significantly, both nationwide and in Fort Worth. The new goal at Fort Worth Housing Solutions is to provide quality, affordably priced housing that welcomes lower-income families into the broader community instead of allowing concentrations of poverty. And so the Housing Authority has been helping families move out of Butler Place and into new apartment homes throughout Fort Worth with better access to schools, shopping areas, transportation hubs, green spaces, and jobs. The agency's lottery system gives all residents an equal chance to move to the property of their choice. It's the perfect area for me and my daughter. So, you know, kind of give me that wilderness feel, and I love nature, so it's a good thing for me. Until she completes physical therapy, Monique is driving for Lyft, but she plans to apply for work at nearby Lockheed Martin when she's able. I'm just happy to finally be moving. You know, I went through some tractor times dealing with my health and just to be able to move into something brand new. And to start over again, I'm just really happy. I'm just really happy.
