Last night Mayor Scott made it official. This week recognizes the 50 years of federal service through the Community Development Block and HOME grant programs aimed to build strong, resilient and vibrant communities. Little Rock has been managing these funding streams through a Consolidated Action Plan (you can see last year’s progress here) with a focus on affordable housing.
Past and current programs include emergency assistance for mortgage deferral, services for new homebuyers and limited home repairs, wheelchair ramp installation, and road and sidewalk maintenance. A full list of programs can be found here.
