Rising housing costs threaten working families across the country, but Little Rock is taking direct action. After delivering roughly 600 affordable units, Mayor Scott launched Arkansas’s first municipal Housing Trust Fund to do even more as we scale up these proven tools. The goal is clear: the teachers who educate our children, the firefighters and police officers who protect us, and the working families who power our city should always be able to afford a home in the community they serve.
