Description

From the City of Little Rock: March 17, 2021 The City of Little Rock is currently developing a five-year plan for housing, community development, and infrastructure. The plan will help guide policy and actions over the next several years and will rely heavily on the opinions and experiences of people who are knowledgeable about housing community development in Little Rock. As part of this process, the City is also evaluating barriers to fair housing choice. The goal of the research is to identify whether barrier and adverse policies exist in a variety of housing arenas such as rentals and sales, lending, insurance, and the public sector. Part of the study also includes collecting the opinions and experiences of people who are involved in the housing industry, including housing consumers. In the coming days, residents will have several opportunities to share thoughts related to Little Rock's housing industry.
