Six years after the city of Dallas purchased it to serve as permanent supportive housing for the chronically homeless, a North Oak Cliff hotel remains vacant.

Over the years, everything from neighborhood pushback to asbestos to noncommittal operators has delayed the opening of the shelter planned for the former Hotel Miramar, now known as the 1950 Fort Worth Ave. property.

The latest roadblock, though, comes from Washington, thanks to changes to homelessness funding strategies announced last year by President Donald Trump.
