Dlf neighborhoods: dlf's approach to community revitalization includes a heavy focus on improving the quality of life in the 13 targeted Dallas neighborhoods. Initially, dlf neighborhoods works to identify existing Leadership in each neighborhood. This often comes in the form of a neighborhood association or by individuals connecting directly with dlf. Once a more formal relationship begins, dlf begins to assess the community's needs with local leaders through dlf's own neighborhood vitality index. The vitality index is a data collection tool used to determine a neighborhood's sustainability and quality of life of the residents. At this point, dlf and the community leaders work together to develop a strategic plan that includes physical improvement and community relations strategies to create thriving, safe neighborhoods. Dlf neighborhoods' programs provide neighborhood improvement services such as Leadership training, home improvement, and connection to employment and health services. In response to the covid-19 pandemic, dlf also began providing food boxes, rental assistance, utility assistance, and technology assistance. Dlf expects to continue these critical support programs into the foreseeable future.
