Muscatwalla was appointed to the DHA, Housing Solutions for North Texas board of commissioners in October.. “I just retired from my role as executive director, then I was offered this opportunity. This is unreal because this is a solution-based organization. It’s affordable housing, we also have one more caveat, which is quality.

One thing that is important to know is that I'm driven by my faith, which is the Shia Ismaili faith. It is very important as a faithful Ismaili Muslim to be able to offer my time and knowledge for the betterment of the larger community. Something different about DHA for me is this is federal funding, and it has its guidelines and nuances which are different than city-run organizations. I’m still putting my arms around this distinction. But I’m not starting at a basic level. I have a good sense of how the city works and all the resources.
