Get Involved
Housing Arkansas was formed in 2008 to campaign for the development and
funding of state housing trust fund that would provide a dedicated source
of public revenue to meet the crucial housing needs of working Arkansans.
On March 30, 2009, Governor Beebe signed SB396 into law that allowed for the creation of a state housing trust fund. This law is known as Act 661. This authorizing legislation represents a key first step toward making affordable housing a reality for more Arkansans. However, funding is needed. You can be a voice for us as continue our efforts to ensure safe,
decent housing in reach for many of your neighbors, family members and friends.
