In this episode of Community Connections, hosted by GFWAR CEO Suzanne Westrum, we’re joined by Perry Pillow, CEO of the Fort Worth Apartment Association. Suzanne and Perry dive into the current multifamily market, the advocacy issues impacting rental housing, and the trends shaping development across our region. They also explore how single-family and multifamily housing aren’t competing forces, but part of the same housing spectrum — each playing a vital role in meeting the needs of our growing communities.

In this episode, we sit down with Michelle Green Ford, President and CEO of the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce to talk about the importance of building strong, inclusive business communities. We explore the Chamber’s impact, opportunities for collaboration, and how working together helps strengthen our local economy.

In this episode, GFWAR's 2026 President Shawn Buck joins us to recap the 2025 housing market and break down the key trends that shaped it. We also look ahead to what those lessons mean for today’s market and what buyers, sellers, and industry professionals should be watching next.
